Title: Cordless impact wrench
Post by: Tortaruga on March 18, 2014, 06:19:37 pm
Can anyone recommend a decent one that won't break the bank but absolutely will break wheel bolts loose?

I'm not sure how much power I need to go for for general use and more power=more $$$.

Thanks in advance.

Mine was 750 euro but i use it on  and off for 8 hrs a day so i guess it depends on usage..

I got lucky and got mine for £150 as the guy went bankrupt and needed the cash. Was a year old and I used it every day as I was a mechanic. I had it for 1 1/2 years and sold it for £120 and as far as I know it's still going strong on just a new battery. Keep an eye on eBay. I believe makita and dewalt do them too?
