this is no help at all but i brought a cheap impact wrench and it was pants,,i would of had more chance undoing wheel nuts with my teeth. then brought a dewalt impact gun and its undone everything iv thrown at it.

if you mean its rated at 100nm then it will struggle to undo wheel nuts unless they are loose already

100 Nm is about 75 ft-lbs if that helps

What did you think of the ratchet spanners, not got mine yet.

The Dewalt stuff is really good, I thought they were cheapening things a bit, but just got a new battery drill and its excellent.

I bought a jack and the wheel nut gun. Mines fine. It did need chargeing first.

Yea jack is great and the Spanners are brill for the price, didnt think they would be ratchet ones for £20 but they are so thats a bonus!!


as for the impact wrench, you have to charge and discharge battery 5 times to get a decent power out of it- but im thinking of upgrading to a better amperage one, as its only 18v 1.2-1.5ahr!!

althought having dicchaged and charge my battery once it seems a lot stronger!

Only bought the roll cab and havent picked it up yet as someone is holding on to it for me.

Why is it I'll use an impact wrench all day at work, but when I use it on my car I go round after with a strong arm and check them? I know I'm not the only one......


greggors84 - 6/2/07 at 03:01 PM

Because at work its not your car the wheels will be falling off!

I did mention this possibility on the WSCC when the group buy was mentioned as I bought an identical one off Ebay about a year ago and it wouldnt undo wheel nuts.
