Hopefully I posted this in the right section:
I am pretty new to riding and am not super mechanically inclined but can do the basics (oil changes, chain adjustment, air filter). I'd like to get something to make working on my toys a bit faster.
Should I buy a impact wrench, impact driver, powered ratchet, or stick to the socket wrench? I will be doing light work on motorcycles, quads, go karts, etc. Not comfortable working on cars at this point.
Should I buy an air compressor and go that route or purchase something that's battery powered? I want something that's easy to use and under $200 for electric or $100 for air because I'd have to buy a compressor too. I want something that's lightweight, reasonably priced, and easy to use. Power is really my last priority.
I'm very worried that with powered tools, I'd underestimate the torque I was putting down and really mess things up. This makes me wonder if I should just stick to my good ol' socket wrench. Air/electric ratchets seem like a nice option but I'm wondering why they're not very popular.
Any information on whether to buy gas or electric, what type of tool, or specific models would be greatly appreciated!
