Im after a impact wrench for christmas and have about £150 to spend. I want to know what ones you guys would recomend? I dont mind 2nd hand.

Prohaps somebodys selling one on here

 

From people talking before everyone recommends a snap on one but it's a good bit over your budget.

 

Yeah i know, i was hoping sombody might have a different make that theyd recomend or warn me away from.

 

makita or sealey arnt bad

 

I know it's over your budget, but you will no doubt only ending up buying a snap on at some stage. I've used other brands (cheaper) and they let me down. I think snap on have Christmas offers to get the 3/8 drive impact wrench (cordless) for around 250. You can pay 150 and then the rest monthly!

18v snap on gun is the dogs dangelys i knw its expensive but worth every penny imo makes life sooooo much easier

 

I've had a Snap On one about 9 yrs , battery is fooked now, need to get a new one - awesome tool.

The Clarke 24v one from Machine Mart is good for the money though.

There's an issue with some links posted on here, there's a thread about it.

Just search for Clarke 24v impact wrench on eBay

 

Just bought a snap on 18v one the other day. Awesome bit of kit

 

I have a makita one, can't mind the model but it's the 400nm one, what I did was when I was needing a new drill a bought a one on offer with the same lith ion battery's and then bought the impact gun bare without bats or charger and got it for £130.

 

I have the corded Clark £60 it bloody amazing nearly 500nm

 

I have an 18v li-ion 190 nm, more than plenty enough and small and light

I was after one mainly for suspension parts as i want to powdercoat the lot what nm would i need?

 

the most powerful one you can afford, the more torque the gun produces the more likley it is to undo the nuts and bolts that you want to undo.

a machanic who works for me has a sealy one and to be honest mate it is pathetic.

as said above snap on or makita, you buy one of them and you'll never need to buy another

 

Get on ebay for a snap on one dude! NOTHING else on the market is any comparison! fact.

 

Facom?

 

Milwaukee ones are cracking

 

Just bought this one, was going to get the more powerful one but didnt want the extra size, plus theres only 1 battery.

We at work ditched our air guns for snap on cordless guns.

No more cold air and compressor running out of steam.

 

Second that just as good snapon ihad

 

I've got the 18v snap on 1/2" gun and it's amazing. I've used it every day for over a year and a half and it's still working perfectly. Hub nuts, lorry wheel nuts, loves them!

 

ive got 18v snap on aswell, bought it off a fella at work who didnt need it anymore"!!?? for about 160 and a battery, gave it to my snap on bloke who sent it away for refurb for the sake of it was only 80 quid mind, and it was like brand new, and alot cheaper than actually buying a new one!
Cheers, Neil

 

Gutted for ya mate just sold my snap on one for £170!!! Kinda wish id kept it now ive got a unit and a car again lol!!

Bloody good tool though saves so much time and effort.

A mate just brought a cheap one from machine mart and its broke allready....you get what you pay for with tools.
