This is the exact one I was thinking of above. Brutal is accurate, got would have to spend many hundreds to get that sort of power cordless. Cheaper on Amazon.
Forget battery powered varieties unless you really can't run a cable.

And another - I've yet to find anything it couldn't shift. It even managed to remove the crank bolt off a Ford Zetec engine!!
Cheaper on Amazon.

Buy cheap, buy twice...Cheaper on Amazon.

As for battery power ones not being good...

I have it, and I am yet to encounter a nut or bolt which cannot be undone. The GT3 rear driveshaft nuts are torqued up at 350ft/lbs. Took me about 30secs to undo them...

Ordered the 240V Clarke one from Amazon, great value (hopefully) for £65!
Thanks again.
Well it arrived today. Thanks again.
You guys weren't kidding, it is indeed brutal and heavy! Can't imagine much will defeat it!
Will be giving it possibly it's toughest test first thing tomorrow, a bmw e30 crankshaft nut, 420 nm torque iirc.

I set-to on the crank-bolt of an old Rover V8 I have on a stand, which has defeated me for the last 6 months.
Didn't touch it.
Back to the drawing board...

What did you expect for £65 - it's just a toy...

My Chicago Pneumatics 1" drive uses industrial amounts of air, which I don't have at home. I guess I'll just need to take the block to work and get properly brutal with it.

To undo one nut, surely a short, large bore pipe and it'd work off any compressor for a short burst. I reckon I'd get a 2 second blast before the tank on my little 240v compressor was empty.

I've done a few cambelts and hub removals and the nut just came straight out. I stand by my recommendation - It is a good bit of kit for the money.
