Why did my brand new impact gun start smoking after 4 loosened lug nuts?
Got a new DeWalt 20V impact from a client's shop last week, tried it on a Chevy Silverado and it started smoking after just four lug nuts on one wheel, so I cracked it open and found the rotor was completely seized against the housing from a bad bearing out of the box. Has anyone else had a tool die that fast or did I just get a lemon?

Guess DeWalt's new "smoke screen" feature is supposed to hide the seized rotor.

12 bucks says the "smoke screen" only activates after the warranty expires. Sounds like DeWalt is branching out into magic tricks now.
