| Electric Impact Wrench anyone ?? |
|
Thinking about a nice lazy way to remove / replace road wheels but not wanting to invest in a sizeable compressor, I was wondering if anyone has any guidance / advice regarding electric impact wrenches ??
I've seen the Clarke CEW1000 Electric Impact Wrench which seems to have a sizeable amout of torque but not sure if it's an investment worth making.

I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00409L...E1FSNZAK7V used to available from machine mart, appears to not be any more! used it for my wheels countless times, and other things (removing rusted coachbolts from a decking for example and had no trouble.
It's 12v too, which means its useful if you break down - unlike a mains powered one! 2014 D4 XS

Hi MC
This one would be better from the Clarke range as it's 1/2" drive for sockets, and 200NM would be adequate for the wheel nuts, which 'should' be at 140NM
We use Makita, Hitachi and Dewalt at work and all are good quality and reliable  Never get mad - get even !!
