Anyone near Northampton got a GOOD air or electric impact wrench?
I'm having grief getting the generator off my R1 engine, see separate post here:

Before I spend a load of cash on something that may not even do the job has anyone (pref in Northampton area) got a really good electric impact wrench
I can borrow.
I already have a 24v one which looks like a copy of the Machine Mart one (http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/products/products/217680/clarke_cir24.html) but
its not doing the business.
Either that or a really good air impact wrench, I've got an old MAC Tools one and an eBay cheapy but to be honest they feel weaker than my 24V
one when its fully charged.
Not sure how much of the strength of the air impact guns is down to being a really good gun or having a massive compressor.
I have a Sealey V-Twin 50lt 3hp with a max free air delivery of around 10cfm and 10mm ID hose.
At this rate I'm going to miss my trackday at the weekend 
Willing to travel a bit to collect or cover fuel etc etc.

Try oiling the air gun just before you use it, the oil acts as a temporary seal and increases the power sometimes .

Yes Ive got a good one, but, it will need oiling AND it needs a GOOD free flow air supply.
350-450Nm sound good. (LHT or RHT)
What are you trying to undo?????
PS u2u sent with phone no if you need it.
