Does it do wheel bolts?

Depends how long they have been on, generally shifts them if only recently been off, no matter on state of charge. If they've been on a while, the batteries need to have recently come off the charger.

The reason I'd replace it is I have a spare charger and battery for it, and because its "only" around £100ish on VAT free. Its a Sealey device.

I'm tempted to get a smaller bodied one as well, for the extra flexibility, but a lot of the smaller bodied ones I looked at when I bought mine were poor from a power point of view, and were (with batts/chargers) the wrong side of £200

The Snap-Off big boy is desired, due to its genuine power and trigger controled speed, but the cost makes it difficult to justify.


As you point out, ShitFix cordless drill deals are usually to shift old stock, and that invariably means an obselete battery/charger.

This site has the Hitachi body, and the sealey wrenches.

Quite tempted meself, but can't ascertain if it has a 'progressive' trigger or on/off (if ya get my drift)?

Yeah know what you mean, you really do need that. Having said that, Gixers one is just all or nothing, you just have to "stab" the trigger to do a quick spin up.

Thing is with that sealey, is again size. Looks similar to Clarke one, which is a tad large. Which reduces it's usefulness   

[tunnie]

For me, it would need to do wheel bolts, as that is the most comon thing that gets done. (and really useful to make things easier) It says 386Nm, wheel bolts are what, 110/100Nm?

Can it do it in the real world? 

[Seth]

Here it is from alternative supplier:

Seems that it does indeed have the 'progressive' trigger action

[tunnie]

Nice find Seth, and good to know, it's considerbally more though in that 'sale' 

[Seth]

Whilst it's fairly large-bodied, your basic requirements are the same as mine, tunnie!

Am quite tempted to source one from Toolstop ... best have a word with Mrs Seth first though ... I reckon

Only one left in stock at Toolstop's Amazon store. Guessed there's be a catch ... 

[tunnie]

Think it's about the best you can get for the money, anything smaller is going to be a lot more money 

Extremely tempted

Can you not buy direct? I just hit add to basket (but not actually bought) on their own site?

[tunnie]

Hummm Clark one is rated a tad more @ 450Nm, but only one battery. At Vat free price that is very tempting

Highly likely tunnie, though am minded that this may well be the last one that they have in stock at this excellent price.
