I've been after an impact wrench for a good while but can't be spending tons on a snap on or similar unit.Does anybody have any units that are flying under the radar that will do the job for taking wheels off, undoing stubborn nuts and bolts and generally taking some of the strain off my buggered shoulder? Cheers. |

Electric or pneumatic? I have a Stanley 1/2" twin dog clutch pneumatic beastie I got for ~£40 used it when I used to split subbie engines in half. But I have a good compressor so I'm an air tool person  |

OP, you haven't said if you need the wrench to be portable or not. If portability isn't a requirement, then the Clarke 450nm corded one is very cheap and works well. I've had mine around 18 months now and it makes mincemeat out of hub nuts, crank nuts and 8mm interior trim fixings. It'll be used on a 300nm crank nut at some point too, for a cambelt change: I'll see if that breaks it.It is extremely heavy for what it is. |

Ideally I would like a cordless one but obviously they take a massive step up in price. That one looks pretty good Ian, I may well plump for that. My only worry is that its rather chunky so getting in tight spots might be an issue. |
