Impact wrenche(s)
« on: 28 January 2012, 18:40:56 »
I have a small Hitachi impact wrench as some on here know. But needed something a bit more beefy for a crank pulley bolt, so borrowed one of these... http://www.easupplies.com/INGERSOLLRAND-W360KL2-Cordless-Impact-Wrench-Kit-p/pt11bc.htm
...from a mate. Lordy. No messing. Zipzipzip nothing beets it. Well, not her polo cp bolt anyway.
Very similar price and spec to the snap on. With progressive trigger. Makes my little orgasmogizmo look a bit Gay. As a certain admin would say.  ;D

 Wonder what the Clark one is like? Much cheaper...

The thought did occur that it would be cheaper to upgrade my compressor to get my windy working. But then there's still the mobile side of things to consider.

My small hitachi was handy for wizzing wishbone bolt nuts on and off, even on the horizontal ones. Just saved the arm ache under the car today on a members car in Richmond. But it's too small for stuff over wheel nut torque.

These things make life soooo much easier though. If careful. :)

Need to check it's turning the right way first.  :-[  ;D

Having to swap wheels manually earlier, kind of forgot how much easier the orgasmagizmo makes it.  That said, it was struggling with one of the MV6 bolts when it went flat, not convinced it would have done it anyway  :'(

Got the compressor fired up, windy gun didn't touch it either (though was only on the small hose, couldn't be bothered to get the big hose out).  Breaker bar in the end, although that took some effort to loosen them :o


The Snap-Off is by far the best I've used.  But my Clarke was a quarter of the price. Claims 450Nm, no chance ;D

My Snap Off electric one is superb, although I could probably do with replacing the batteries.

The IR windy is far better than the Snap On one it replaced and much more powerful too :y

I take it you weren't on the other end of the breaker bar then  ::) ::) ::) I would've found it hard to believe they were THAT tight if you were  ::) ::) ::)  ;) ;)

The snap on battery impact gun are fantastic no two ways about it. It will undo any crankshaft bolt when its fully charged.

Hmmm, think that call to the snap on man isn't too far away tbh.  :-\
