Lidl Impact Wrench

Lidl Parkside mains electric Impact Wrench £29.99

I was looking at these today and almost bought one.


Anyone got one? Any recommendations? Seems to cheap to be any good.

Was thinking the same myself on Wednesday when I was in Lidl. My experience of Lidl tools generally is not bad

Thanks for the reply.

Mmmm, I'm in two minds.
I bought an Aldi SDS drill years ago and that seen sterling service and still going strong.


Pity I can't drive the tin top into the store and ask them to take the wheels off.

I was thinking of popping out to get one, worth a punt at that price I reckon, but an impact driver isn't listed on the Lidl website under the current offer (https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Non-Food-Offers.htm?id=589&week=1). Did they have a stack of them or was it just a single one?

A rack full at Haverhill. 8 to 10. I didn't count exactly

Cheers, I dropped by the one in Colchester and picked one up. They are also selling a 25 mtr extension cable with an 'outdoor' socket for £18 so I picked up one of those too.

Come on then. Whats it like? Has every car in your street now lost its wheels?


Seriously, if you tighten a wheel nut to 120 ft lb with a torque wrench will the gun undo it?

I don't have a torque wrench to tighten first (all I've done so far is take stuff apart for my build!) but I have just buzzed the wheel nuts of my Sierra no problem. The real test will be next week when the 41mm socket turns up and I try to undo the 280lb/ft hub nuts :-)

I bought one in Haverhill Lidl lunchtime but didn't get the lead. Instead I bought a large bar of dark chocolate that for 79p seemed a better deal.

Tried it out on the Suttol wheel nuts and it spun them off like they wasn't even done up.
It has a lower safety setting when tightening so I used the tool then checked with the torque wrench and it had tightened to 80 ft lb.
Four clicks wth the torque wrench and they were tight at 105 ft lb.

Very pleased with it. The only snag is that it won't undo l/h threads with this safety setting.

Not sure about your hub nuts.

There's always the 'jumping on the breaker bar' technique, it's been a while since I broke any tools...

And yes, one of the hub nuts will be left-hand thread... bugger...

What makes you say that? I ve never come across a LH hub nut, usually have a mechanical system such as split pin, deformable nut to stop it undoing.

Different story on bike drive train.

I've read quite a few things saying the Sierra hub nuts are handed - E.g. http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=209260 and https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=30&t=735383

And I don't think there's a split pin (or a hole to put one through) on the Sierra driveshafts I have - but I will take a closer look when next in the garage....

Yep, can confirm the Sierra hub nuts (Rear) are handed and not split pinned, Nyloc nuts
