You just never know what kind of day or night another person is having. Maybe they are sick, or meditating, or enjoying a quiet moment with a coffee and a book. Be polite, don't make unnecessary noise.

I’ll go with rude and since you are asking I have a feeling you already know that. Thanks for asking!

OMG people! What, a few minutes using the impact bothers you? What about those blaring loud diesel trucks waking you up early morning to go out to breakfast or to head home? Even coming in late at night.. Now they are for sure a rude awakening anytime!!!

The car horns every time they walk up to their truck and it unlocks then when they walk away it honks again and locks. AND, what really irritates me is, the lights at night. Walk up to the truck, horn honks, ALL the damm lights come on. Clearance, headlights on high beam. That crap is adjustable you know and done so everyone can look how damm automated their shinny 80K truck is.

I use a drill vs impact driver. 5 or 6 seconds per jack... no big deal.

I don't want to be hammering (impact) on my jack bolts. I don't think it does them any good and makes a lot more noise that the drill.

I personally think it's brilliant! Use what you got, right?

OMG six pages..... Sure an impact can be noisy ,, so can be that turbo diesel with 6" exhaust firing up.. ..
Or
My old 460, no Cat and Dynamax 3.5 exhaust , back up my trailer at 3:30AM.. I will try to just pull in quiet til the morning..

Good cordless will normally work also,, I have both with me,, HF specials..

During normal hours, no. When I hear one working the stabilizers it reminds me of our first RV when I did the same. Don't worry about it....part of the atmosphere. Happy camping.

Is it entirely possible that the OP is using the word "IMPACT" as a general term for the cordless tool to use to operate the stabilizers?
Not everyone has tool nomenclature capabilities as some of us.

I use a drill and do the final tightening with the speed handle. (During normal waking hours) Come to my camp site and we will discuss it if it REALLY bothers you.

Lol... I laughed until my ribs hurt at the comments. Come on man. Y'all really have no room to complain because someone out there is complaining about you.

TandW · 08-07-2023, 06:14 PM

Don't understand how an impact wrench can make the machine gun noise so long as the screw is turning unimpeded.

I am talking about during normal hours like 8am-8pm?
Thanks

I use a 1/2" cordless drill.

I use common sense.
