Ryobi 1/2" Impact Driver vs 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Axle Nut

My very first Rumble video!

Watch as I unbox and immediately deploy a brand new Ryobi 1/2 inch impact driver in a less-than-two-minute rapid review. Real, unscripted, one take and no outtakes.

Regarding the project itself, It is front end suspension issues. My daughter called late at night telling me that she had extreme steering problems and heard popping and squeaking. Turns out that the ball joint In the lower driver's side control arm was having issues. At first I thought the ball joint was going bad, but it turns out that the mounting hole in the control arm was wallering out, and so the ball joint is sloshing around and about to pull out of the control arm. I had actually replaced the ball joint a few months ago, and the car was doing fine. There was the option of replacing the entire control arm, which is what most of the videos on YouTube on YouTube were about. In hindsight, that would have been the best thing for me to do. The ball joint cost around $25, while you can get the whole control arm assembly with new bushings and the ball joint already pressed into it, for about $40. Now I understand why it is better just to replace the entire control arm instead of the ball joined itself. It is much easier than dealing with a ball joint press, and evidently better with longer lasting results.

I purchased the impact driver because I am tired of hand ratchets and breaker bars in taking care of my kids' cars and my own. In this case, we still need this old Mitsubishi Lancer to help us get around, and don't have the budget for a replacement vehicle. It should give plenty of opportunity for more fix-it videos.

Hopefully this will be the start of good content creation to come.

However, can you detect the technical snafu on this first-time recording?
