Reasonably priced electric impact wrenches.

[tomstickland]

I'm looking to buy one. Decent ones seem to be around £200, but I've found a few deals.

Screwfix: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...40065&ts=10863

Toolstation: http://www.toolstation.com/messages....9164&mainWin=1

Does anyone have any experience of these? Or can recommend a sub £150 unit?

Have you tried looking for Bluepoint ones on E-Bay or are you after a new item?.

Mart

[tomstickland]

Good idea, I'll go and take a look.

depends what you want it for, if just for wheel bolts there is a 12V one available as a kit from machine mart here - comes with 17, 19, 21 & 23mm sockets.

i heard the ones form places like woolworths do the job quite well on wheel bolts.

I've found this one, looks like a reasonable deal to me: http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp...ench-+-2-Batts

is this going to be the type of thing that you may have stored in the boot of your car and may be left there for months on end? if it is then go for one that goes in the cigarette lighter if its not then go for it if you like it.

[tomstickland]

It's going to be stored in my garage and used a few times a month.

I got a nice impact moulded one with 4 nuts that goes on the battery/lighter from Aldi for £20.

Did excellent on the wheels, and made exhaust removal a doddle. Used it to undo the crank nuts on the mower too. Brilliant unit.

I keep mine in the boot.

friend of mine has a Snap On one. totally amazing tool if tight nuts beat you.
