Iirc TB had a Clarke. I'm guessing its one of the tools he's not too upset about loosing. Maybe he'll be along later.

I have this one at the moment...

Was really looking forward to using it with its' *cough cough* 450nm max. torque.......

This cant undo wheel bolts. Martin will also confirm this tool is sh*te!!!! Fair enough that it is cheap. But now I have made this mistake I shan't again.

I know the Snap on gun is silly expensive but it's the only half inch gun of any type(air or electric) I've owned that will deal with transit and Landrover wheel nuts,cantbe used for doing up though through fear of snapping car wheel studs although that's no bad thing as should be done by hand anyway :y

Indeed, with a Torque wrench young bear. ;)

Which give a potential question, why pay for a mega bucks snap off orgazma gizmo wizzy, when you could just use the wrench to loosen them, as you have it out anyway, then use a cheaper wizzy just to spun the bolts out.

But then if it gets the use.... Etc etc.


But then somebody said a Torque wrench shouldn't be used to undo...? ::)

Sorry, but I'm sure Doctor Opti said that Tigger fellow was "quite bright". Maybe a second opinion is in order ;D
