Recommend me an electric (battery) impact wrench
Discussion
I need a new electric (battery) impact wrench for changing wheels at trackdays. (Therefore can't be air, or mains powered.) It won't have a stressful life, since I crack the nuts with a breaker bar prior to lifting the tyre off the ground, and I use a torque limiting socket set at 70Nm and then finish them off by hand with torque wrench.
Effectively the impact wrench is just a faster way of spinning the nuts on and off of the studs.
I've tried the Clarke cig lighter one, and I'm not impressed as it uses an inertia wheel and is bloody violent. (i.e. no variable speed.) I also didn't like the lead, so I'm off that one and looking for a variable speed battery one.

Therefore I'm now looking at this one, which looks similar to my old one. (Both batteries in the old one now dead and replacement cost is prohibitive.) It looks pretty straightforward, not overly complex and cheap compared to some of the others I've seen.

Before I part with cash, do you lot have any other recommendations?
