Any ever tried one of these (cordless impact wrench)

[Sami]

Specifically this one?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=270049804069&rd=1&rd=1

Bought one from ebay the other day which looked pretty good and wasn't a cheapo fag lighter job, but its totally useless and cheap crap, wouldn't undo one of my wheel nuts

250lbs/ft torque sounds pretty gd thou?

they are crap, best bets a dewalt one but they like £500 so £30ish isn't gonna be much good

but in 1/2 inch drive & 19volt (no piccy of that one tho) is best, i should know

lol take you got that one then

 

[benji&eka]

yup, it 'll pull the wheelnuts on any car and some light commercials

 

[adehook006]

cool, i use the old fashioned method,

imo unless you are taking your wheels off once a week it's not worth buying one

see your local snapon man let him take your pants down and for £350 you can have a 18v one i have one at work its the dogs nuts will undo 99% of the stuff we get in at work

For £150 i bought a 100L air compressor and all tools i needed, gun, impact sockets etc.

For a similar price a mate bought a Dewalt 18V Impact wrench second hand and while it does most jobs, it doesn't do all, front hub nut, rear axle nut etc, high torque bolts.

So basically i thought it was a waste of money, whats the point in having one if it doesn't do all what you need?

Saying that, it would compliment air equipment, just for the sheer ease of using one or if you travel round to mates house to help out etc

Personally i can not justify the cost, cheap ones are cheap for a reason, i know that the £80 ones struggle to undo wheel bolts and they are only torqued to around 90 -100Nm.

I also dont trust ebay for s**t.
