If the ICE vehicles don’t have wheels, they can’t move very fast…
erusuoyera@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
ICE as in Internal Combustion Engine, or as in the US neo-brownshirts?
Botzo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Battery powered impact driver plus a deep socket set = you can remove lug nuts or bolts (securing a wheel to a vehicle) in very quick fashion.

A pair of wire snips will cut tire stems right off, and quickly.
A can of expanding foam up the tailpipe into the muffler, and/or emptied into an engine compartment will ruin anyone’s day.

5 lug nuts can be loosened in about 5 seconds with a heavy duty impact wrench. If you’ve ever seen tires get stolen it only takes about 15 seconds to pull off.
That will be enough to disable the car. It’ll get moving before they notice it.
Make sure the battery is at full charge. Chevy typically uses 12mm or 14mm lug nuts in their trucks.
Used motor oil and sand in a water balloon also completely obstructs the view through any window and can’t be cleaned off.

Those nut sizes seem way off. The smallest I have seen are 17mm, with most cars and light vehicles being 19-22mm
BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Don’t forget you can also ugga dugga them with an impact gun and cause the bolts to snap, so even if they get new lug nuts they aren’t going anywhere unless it’s up a flatbed
Also don’t forget your locking nut key for those pesky lock nuts

Leaving only those will make for a bigger surprise a few minutes later when they take a corner at speed. Or hit a bump.

If only one is locking just break the others. Locking will break in short order.
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Just be careful because the pictured drill will break your wrist if you let it.
Know your tool before you use it.

Or, a small pair of pliers can open a brake bleed valve.
TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Fucking with the brakes risks getting bystanders involved, though.
Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
Messing with the wheels can too if your plan isn’t leaving it sitting on cinder blocks. A runaway tire can do some damage at speed. Or if heaven forbid the vehicle rolls. Definitely wouldn’t want that to happen.

Slashing tires is faster and quieter.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 months ago
Why use it on the vehicle and not the ICE agents? Rip their sacks right off with 2500 lbs of torque.

one of these

How quickly can these remove the valve? could you cut off the stem with wirecutters faster?
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 10 months ago
10 seconds or less. Leaves no damage or trace. I carry one in my glovebox.
SleeplessCityLights@programming.dev 10 months ago
How does it go when you remove them from a fully pressurized tire? I have only ever removed cores when the tire was empty or had a low amount of pressure.
anomnom@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Don’t fully unscrew it and you should be fine. Removing it completely makes a lot of noise, especially with higher pressure truck, uhaul and suv tires.
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
Loosen somewhat, it’ll whizz out and they might be on the move before it runs flat. Then the tire is ruined.
