Recommendations please...
But, I have a cordless Hitachi cordless drill, torch, circular saw set with 18v battery's that I like. So sense suggests buying the impact wrench that fits the battery's in that set. Trouble is it's £170 for the body alone.
Can I get another make complete with battery's and charger worth having for that money? Will it last? Sealey seems popular. And the last word will be the snap on one, but it won't get work shop levels of use.
Thoughts please chaps...

The Snap On ones are nothing short of Brilliant :y
-
As per Darth Loo-Knee, the Snap-On cordless impact wrench is the mutts nuts (I have one, so speak from personal experience).
-
Hmmm, now you mention it, iirc a mate of a mate has a snap on that gets seriously heavy use. He works for a company that services cars for the cateram race series. They went through several other makes before concluding the snap on impact wrench was the only one worth having.
But then again, they where taking wheels off and on every two minutes....
... I won't give it anywhere near that level of use, so will I be paying for durability I simply won't need?
Plus the body on the snap on is quite long iirc....? I need it to fit under sills while car is jacked...?

My impact wrench is no bigger than a standard Bosch 14V cordless drill.

You've used mine... I think it was the biggest one they did when I bought it though :-/ :-/

Chris, I have the 1/2" drive Snap On Gun. It is pretty big and will undo crackshaft bolts on Rover 25's, Peugoet 206's with ease.
If you are after something which isn't so expensive the Sealey one I took to Newent last year is pretty good just doesn't have the Ummph the Snap On one, however similar in length but not as heavy.

funny enough i used a sealey one when in the uk couple weeks ago, changing a 206cc rear beam axle :'( was quite impressed!!!
didnt seem to be lacking in oomph at all but although i used it for all the jobs while there i do wonder about longevity, mate who owns it seems to think it damn good for the price but he played safe and got 2 batterys
-
TB listens with interest... ...I was thinking of the £100 Clarke one, but is that too mickey mouse? I imagine the Snap-off one will put it beyond my price range...
-
I have the £100 Clarke one and its not too bad obviously nowhere as good as the snap-on ones but for the price its ok. The batteries are not the longest lasting but you have 2 so just have one on charge all the time ( 1 hour charge). I've used mine to do simple jobs like changing wheels and removing the migs seats etc up to a full suspension change on a civic and gearbox, clutch and flywheel change on a Ka.
If your looking at paying snap-on money then I'd recommend looking at the Ingersoll Rand ones too http://marmax.co.uk/acatalog/cordless_impact_wrenches.html . There air impact guns(in my opinion) are much better and more powerful than snap-on and from what I've been told so are there cordless ones
-

I do not rate the clarke tools I'm afraid. I have now had to return my Clarke grinderette 3 times, torx bits keep breaking, the toolbox I think was a total waste of money..... the only good thing I had from there was my Mig Welder...
For about £100 get a Sealey off Fleaybay :y

...

Me neither. I suppose they're OK for those that use then every now & then.

When I worked for a digger builder, they used to use Makita & Hitachi 1/2 battery guns, they took some beatings, pretty small too
Something like this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAKITA-LXT-BTW251-IMPACT-WRENCH-BL1830-BATTERY-/250821049578?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item3a66197cea
-
Inreresting, they have some Makita stuff at work, seems to take some abuse.
Hitachi set I have seems good enough. Cordless drill has had a real hammering batteries still strong after firing about a thousand screws into the creaking floor boards upstairs and 40 odd square meters of decking in the garden.
I thought I was seeing things earlier with Hitachi body prices as, this
http://www.power-tools-pro.co.uk/hitachi-wr18dll4-18v-impact-wrench-supplied-body-only-12-sq-drive-p-5716.html?currency=GBP
....was all I could find, but I had seen this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hitachi-WR18DL-18v-Volt-Cordless-1-2-Impact-Wrench-NEW-/200612703120?pt=Drills&hash=item2eb572eb90#ht_2954wt_922
... a while back at a fraction of the price not realizing the location being in USA.
Am I missing something with the spec? Why is the one sent from the uk more than twice the price of the one sent from USA? :-?
I mean itwill fit uk batteries surely? Guessing it's only the charger that's country specific?
-
Should add both are body only.
No batteries, or charger.

I have the Clarke and it couldn't get the crankshaft bolt off the Focus.
Not sure it can get much off anything so I don't recommend it.
-
Guessing it's only the charger that's country specific?
It will more than likely be what is known as a "Switched Mode" power supply, and they are happy to see anything between 100V - 230V as an input voltage.
If anything, all you'd have to do is change the plug.

I agree that a lot of the Clarke tools aren't that great - my knuckles agree every time one of their sockets splits ;D. Bad news when you rate Halfords way above Clarke ;D
Never really rated Sealey either, due to a couple of rather naff torque wrenches I've had from them.
Tempted to pay more attention to what I see other people using, and go from there... ...my birthday isn't for another month ;D

Not all SMPS are happy to take the full voltage range, so check the sticker underneath first, as when you tune those puppies to channel smoke, its new pants time ;D

I must say, I am yet to break any Clarke stuff (but I do buy the pro items)

Apart from silly odds and sods, I only ever buy Clarke Pro, as Clarke's standard stuff is like toffee.
I can't argue with Machine Mart's willingness to post out replacements (without needing to see broken one), but it doesn't cure the pain of knuckles on drive/car/brick ;D
I have more faith in the Halfords ones, so tend to use them more. I have broken a Halfords one - it split on a particularly stubborn Citroen locking wheelnut ::) - but broken a fair few Clarke Pro ones now.
I still maintain, at trade and/or sale price (only a few pence difference), the Halfords 150pc is an ideal 'starter' set for Omega owners looking to do their own work. Yes, I think the older 150pc set is considerably better than the newer one with the red bit case, but still worthwhile. I understand and accept all its shortcomings, but my 2 sets are still my weapon of choice, as many members will confirm.
That said, my Clarke Pro ones have their niche's - DBW throttle bodies for one (torx socket too wide on Halfords - doable, but easy to round off), and the true Hex sockets for the stubborn ones.
I'm sure if I did as much spannering as you, Mr DTM, I too would buy better tools, be it Teng, Snap-Off etc. But for the hobbyist weekender, I'll stick with the 150pc set.
Mind you, the Halfords 'Professinal/Advance' screwdrivers are shite. I got them dirt cheap, and still think they were poor value. Mind you, I think the Clarke ones I have are shite as well. I tend to always use some overly abused Draper Expert VDE for sparkies, due to comfort/grip/power.

i have one as well and i dont rate it[and i do rate other clarke stuff] wont even undo wheel nuts :'(

I have the half inch drive snap-on electric impact gun and it's epic,it's the best impact gun I've ever owned including air powered and there has been a few of them over the years

Ooh that is poor, a basic requirement surely. Although I want an impact wrench for donut bush bolts mostly, and they can be stubborn coming off so need to be carefully, it will mostly be used for wheels.
I am tempted by the snap on.... It's bloody steep though. Versus £75 for the Hitachi body from the USA to go with the battery's in the set I have.
I rekon £75 on the usa hitachi body is worth a punt...? Don't you? :)

Well, yes they are. But I already have a hitachi cordless drill/circular saw/torch set with the same batteries. Going by the code anyway. :y

There's a note in the gun listing saying that it doesn't work with all 18v batteries, are you sure yours fit it?

ive got a snap on gun and it will undo anything.even used it on truck wheel nuts no probs.always use halfords sockets and ratchets.ive had my 1/2 inch drive ratchet for over 10yrs and havent broke it yet :)

Ordered the Hitachi body today. 10 days from the states though. :(
Btw...
Bumped into the snap on man in his van outside work. With one battery he said he could do their half inch impact wrench for £350 cash. :-/
-
The Snap-on one is good but a bit of overkill for the occasional user IMO ;) Only reason I have it is from my days on the tools :y
Oh... And I agree... I've used it on Lorry wheel nuts too ;D

If UK customs decide its worth more than £18, yes. Plus the courier's handling fee (RM is £8, Arsole Force are £14 iirc)

Chris, quick Q.. is this the Hitachi saw body you've got?

Though I'm not sure I can justify that kind of price :o

Though I'm not sure I can justify that kind of price :o
Yes that's the one.
But I paid £300 for it... With a cordless drill, cordless torch, two batteries,charger and carry bag all as part of the set. From screw fix.... And I bet that's cheaper in the states too. :-/
We really get shafted over here. From every angle. >:(
Anyway, yes mate that's the one. :y
-
Ta :)
Screwfix must have had a deal on when you got your set; either that or it's gone up in price considerably! Which wouldn't surprise me I suppose..
I did notice there seems to be two types of bodies/batteries; 'slide on' and 'clip on', the latter seems to be cheaper (and found in the US too).. Looks good, though, but.. perhaps I'll just get a corded one and save the difference - it'll only get used in the garage anyway :)
-
It's good, drill and saw took 40 odd square meters of decking in there stride no problem at all. Good gauge and angle plate on it with an led light Drill has had more work, no problem.
But yes the set was a deal, and I've not seen it since tbh. :-/
-
Yeah - the cheapest I could find the saw (with 2x battery & charger) was just shy of £300 on it's own..
If I thought I'd make tons of use of it I'd be tempted, but .. I know what I'm like! ;D
-
Arrived today [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
I thought, "I bet the battery's don't fit" :(
But they do and it works [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
But it's bloody tiny, I thought "that won't undo a fart" :(
But it undoes wheel nuts easy peasy [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
Wohoo. ;D.
I got a newwwtoy, I got a newwwtoy .... :D ;D

Ah too late then...? You mentioned the hitachi circular saw for £300... Well I received an e mail from ITS with the drill with the same batteries x2 for £80 on offer for a week from the 9th of June....could then just get the circular saw body for £124(did I see?) :-/
There are several tools that fit the same batteries...
-
;D yes mine need doing now, bit of wanging around and they've given up the goast, back end is wandering :'(
But now I have a weapon for the job, MWAAAAHAHA [smiley=evil.gif]
need to go steady on the threads though. ;)

Going to try the Febi ones I think
Ooh, on that subject.....

Now you've got it, I've got a job for you to try it on :P

Nah I've had the Bosch (it's only a little 14v NiCad body) for a while - bought it when my Black & Decker charger (which was 10+ years old) caught fire when I plugged the battery in ;D
Got a link to that special offer? Because I could still be tempted to get a 'decent' 18V setup :)
-
Now you've got it, I've got a job for you to try it on :P

That's an easy Job, 3 bolts, straight swap( for the rear dif bushes ?)

Bah, seems I received the email late. It's this one. http://www.itslondon.co.uk/pd_HITDV18DCL_DV18DCL_Hitachi18vLiionHammerDrillDriverClipon.htm?utm_medium=email&utm_source=ITS&utm_campaign=sale_0611_4&dm_i=HPM,G6IU,2OYT3J,1BC9Y,1
Might be worth a call in the morning? :-/
You've failed me! >:( ;D
But yup I might give them a call - and you answered a question for me, which was going to be "clip on or slide on" (battery! Dirty minded people..) - I think the 'clip on' is the 'outgoing' model, hence the discount?
I'm almost tempted by this in the clearance range: http://www.itslondon.co.uk/pd_HITKTL518C_KTL518C_Hitachi18vLiion5PiecePackCliponRange.htm

Yep, swap the driver for the wrench and all I'd need is the jig saw body. Seen extra battery for £60 if needed.
Am I missing something though, why is the impact driver so popular with the drill as a set?

I think they're actually pretty popular with tradespeople - my plumber swore by his impact driver for basically any time you'd be using an electric screwdriver (noisy, though, when his head was stuck in the airing cupboard with it!)

Now you've got it, I've got a job for you to try it on :P
My arse is saggy and uncontrollable. The Silver Bullet's is as well :P
That's an easy Job, 3 bolts, straight swap( for the rear dif bushes ?)
If only :P
Cant get the springs in and out, possibly as there is not enough 'give' in the donuts....?
Oh yeah, haven't you done that yet?
Tried twice. Failed twice. Not trying again until TBE is fixed, as she doesn't get lifts any more, so we need 2 working cars all the time.

Poor car, you'd think it would be pleased to be owned by an Oof admin. Sure it flinched when TB walked past it, nasty man. ;D
