Impact wrench suggestions

[TROOPER88]

Hi
I should have purchased a battery impact wrench years ago for removing car wheels, suspension parts and general car related stuff.

Does anyone have any suggestions / recommendations as to what maybe a suitable budget wrench?

Is it not realistic to get a good unit with the batteries etc for £100-£150?

Many thanks in advance

After some research, this seems to be a good unit for the price:

I researched one of the Clarke models and tbh I saw it struggling to undo wheel bolts which is one of the main jobs I will be using it for.

Any help is appreciated

The lack of replies may be because this is a well trodden path on this forum, try googling 'pistonheads impact wrench'
There's a whole bunch of threads on this subject. Good Luck!

I have had a Clarke mains powered impact gun for years, still going strong, for lighter stuff I have a battery Makita, as it was free it’s brilliant

Using a friend's Dewalt 18v jobbie over the weekend. Great piece of kit. Coupled it with a splitter and was flying through ball joint removal!

I've got one of these (DCF889gb) and it's an excellent bit of kit.

Not found a bolt it won't undo in 3 years of use: rusty E14 torx bolts on my girlfriends V70 wheel bearing that have been in situ for 20 years? Wound 'em out like they were finger tight!

Same with suspension pinch bolts a while back (same car). Undid them like they were brand new.

Not cheap, but worth every penny IMO (my kit retails at £420 - got it for £280 from Cromwell Tools in a sale).
