Formula 1 and NASCAR have insanely short tire changing times. It’s nuts how quickly they can change a wheel and tire, and while the right people are important to that, the tools and equipment are crucial. In the case of NASCAR, it’s all about the jack and the impact gun. Those two things make it possible for humans to push themselves to the limits because the tools can keep up.

These guys do a four wheel tire change in less than 2 seconds, and part of that is because the impact guns they use spin at 11 jillion rpm.
