Title: Impact wrench...
Post by: Webby the Bear on 29 April 2013, 21:28:46
Think I've found the one I want (after consultation on here about torque and capabilities and such) and I believe it's one TuBby suggested (so thanks for that...not that you'll read this as you're probably still having your crack and sack sewn up  :o :o :o :o)

Anyway....

I love the fact it's NOT cordless as I really cant be bothered with having to charge it. but has masses of power I believe (450nm) and should be good enough for all suspension, crank pulleys etc etc according to the reviews). Also seems to be a great price compared to what Strap-on want  :o :o :o :o

What do we think before I hit the big red ''Paid'' button?

I have that very one. It's not as good as my windy gun. Bit gutless TBH

Fair enough Doz. Can you give me an idea of what you're comparing it to? i.e, has it ever failed to remove a stubborn bolt?

It's even struggled with a wheel nut which was tight but easy enough to get off with a breaker bar.

Just don't compare it to an air impact wrench as most garage ones are kicking out a minimum of 1500 lb -ft +
