Are there specialized tools the pitt crew uses in Nascar?

May be...

  • yes, the impact guns most teams use are Ingersoll Rand thunder guns, but not the everyday guns you find in a store, they are hurd thunder guns, 25,000 rpms..they retail for around $1400, also the sockets are around $60-$70, and are loaded with a spring that ejects the lug from the socket. i know this b/c i go to the pit instructional training school in mooresville nc, hope this helps!
  • the impact wrench and the jack are both specially made for racing. the average person would not be able to push the handle on the jack down to lift a vehicle. it has much more lift per stroke.

  • They'd have to be specialized tools for the kind of speed that is needed to get the job done.
  • I was reading somewhere the air gun (socket for lug nuts) is specialized for Nascar. Is this true?

    What other tools are specialized for just Nascar (if any)?
  • I'm sure it is, those kind of RPMs on a street car might rip the lug studs off. Lol Almost every Nascar tool on pit road is specialized for Nascar.garden rambler
