240v Impact (mainly wheels)

[smudgerebt]

I know it's been done before, but can't find anything after going back 10 pages (or gone word blind).

So who is using what and recommend?

Main use will be for removing wheel nuts.

Thanks

I find this is great for undoing stuff. Especially wheels.

I'm sure I onl paid about £45 a few years ago. Probably inflated due to Brexit.

Very basic but can take all kinds of abuse.

+1 on this. Mine was £60 from Amazon in April. Does the job. Shifted the shock/hub bolts on my rusty old e36 quite well. Real change from a Lidl 12v special..

Oh, it's quite heavy and not small..

+2 I'm hugely impressed with it !

Wheel nuts all so far removed with no issues and great for spinning them back up afterward.

Bought a 1/2" to 3/4" converter and used it to easily remove a 34 mm drive shaft centre nut with no problem - worth the purchase price for that alone.

I have used what is the same gun but from a different brand which came in a different colour but was identical otherwise & a set of 6 impact bits, for a few years now.

SGS Engineering have some handy looking deals on Milwaukee cordless impact wrenches at the moment

Not come across anything it couldn't undo yet, but as nosuchuser said, it's quite big and heavy. I don't use it that often so it offered better value than the battery operated guns. It's quite a few hundred quid to get a battery operated one with the same torque. The power lead has been no real detriment for occasional use.
