I bought a Rolson one on ebay, with 2 batteries (24v) for about that money.
It shifts large nuts on my R1 output cog and driveshaft nuts ok.

I bought a B&D cordless drill which has a very high torque setting which is ideal for wheel nuts - but I always do a final check with an accurate
torque wrench to be sure.

Razman, the drill might be ok for doing nuts up, but the an impact wrench will be better at getting them undone.

got a roybi one from ebay last week ,it works great on wheel nuts ect but not on anything thats torqued up.
i look at a number of them amd this was the best value for money i could find

it evry day)to he honest nothing beets an air powered Impact Driver .

Good point - I tend to use it more like a spinner after cracking the nuts with a breaker bar.

The cheap ones tend to be a bit poor IME, but the decent brand ones I have used have been almost as good as an air impact gun.
