marsie Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I have a 1/2" snap on cordless impact gun,came with 2 batteries.Can go upto about 400lbs/ft but the downside is the price ,If i remember correctly it cost nearly £400!!!! but i do use it everyday.Battery lasts long enough to undo and refit a full set of landrover wheels with plenty of charge left over Paul http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P6...amp;dir=catalog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael calvert Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I had my eye on this deal, looks like a bargin to mehttp://www.itslondon.co.uk/pd_DEWDC729KAID...erDrillPack.htm I can't speak highly enough of dewalt products, especially there cordless drills got this impact gun, use for rallying and general use, weight to use is bril, the cost is exactly you get what you pay for dewalt batteries are all interchangeable so another plus, batteries charge in the hour, and they will undo hundreds of nuts!

M3rcutio Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I stay away from yellow cordless brands I'm a Panasonic man when it comes to cordless. IMHO better build quality and better batteries than other I've (mis)used. I've got this. Nice 3 in 1 combo for my use. Good batteries. But maybe a bit slow for drilling, but ok for self tapping (in metal) screws. My brother had this at work. He was very pleased, better than the Hitachi he had before.

white90 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I have the Large Dewalt one plenty of power to undo wheel nuts etc and fast charger via the cigarette lighter socket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I have one of these: Rolson 24V Impact Wrench I don't use it every day so didn't feel the need to spend loads of money. It comes with two batteries and a fast charger, and has always done what I have asked of it. I usually keep it in the truck, so it gets bashed about a bit. It will happily change a set of landy wheels over, so for the money I didn't think it was at all bad. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Tangoman has a Milwaukee 18 jobby and having seen it in action, and considering the kicking it has had, i wouldn't hesitate but to purcahse one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another vote for the 3 in 1 panasonic here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I have a Rolson clone like Mark's. It doesn't always undo, say, a wheelnut if the battery's low but it'll whip them off once they've been cracked with a wrench. An excellent bit of kit at a good price for occasional use.

Mark Jenkins Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Where did you buy it/cost/quality/power/battery life etc etcCheers Jo Makita 18V Screwfix £319.99!!!! (I didn't buy it, work did) Quality/Power/Battery life - are excellent Wouldn't risk trashing one I owned on a Landy, personally, cos they're a bit pricey, but they're great.
