Got these on the last vat free day at machine mart 7/1/2016

picked up the battery one 220nm and the electric one which is 450nm

i had quite a few bolts that wont budge so though i pick these up to give them a try

they have quite a few good reviews so hope they live up to the job.

also picked up so good impact sockets screwfix

nothing gives you a warm fuzzy feeling like buying new power tools.........:-D

your right there :)

I ve got the impact wrench like in the first photo I use it for taking off and putting on wheel nuts.Good tool but it is heavy.

same hear my son uses them but he likes the idea that i buy them kids hay :)

Yep,makes short work at taking wheel nuts off.Loosen first with a hand wrench then use the impact wrench,one quick squeeze of the trigger and the nut is on the floor.

when we refit wheel nuts we always torque wrench to finish :)

Can't fault that,I don't even think tyre fitters torque but I might be wrong just never seen it.

That defeats the purpose of an impact wrench to me lol. If you have to undo the bolts manually with a bar your impact gun isn't big enough

i will use this on all bolts on loosening no point having a dog and barking yourself :)

Probably because sometimes it can be a bit brutal holding the gun,it's quicker so it's all good.ha ha.

the one with mains cable is a heavy old lump but its fast and powerful :)

I bought the mains powered one back in 2012 - I have a battery drill that's always out of charge so prefer mains where possible myself lol!

Undoes hub nuts and crank pulley bolts without issue for me, has had a lot of use/abuse in that 3.5 years and still going strong. I do also have a 3ft breaker bar though...quicker to use that than get the gun out sometimes lol.

As for loosening wheel bolts with a bar before the gun...that is a bit of a fail. :P

i got a spare set of motor bushes free with the mains one :)

There's a spare set in the case provided.

So I don't think you can consider the spare set free,ha ha.

Good lad. I would be interested to see how you get on with it. I use an Ingersoll rand air impact gun with about 1100Nm of breakaway torque. It's surprisingly quiet too.

Even this 3/8 battery one will undo wheel nuts, lol

You had any bother with yours Ian? I know of a few guys having trouble with newer snap on guns, more so the 1/2 stuff though.
