JST Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 What would you get: all 1/2" drive for wksp/garage DIY use as opposed to industrial use, running off a 2.5hp 50L 10CFM, 10mm bore hose feed. Northern tools 610Nm , twin hammer ones £69.99 + VAT 610 Nm Northern Tools Chicago Pneumatic 576Nm one here(£99 + VAT) : CP 576Nm CP 847Nm one £156.99 + VAT CP 847Nm i had a 340Nm one before which wasn't really upto the job, and as it got knicked thought i would upgrade at the same time. Or where would you get one of decent quality/cheaper from (excluding e bay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I've got a CP one which I've been very pleased with (bargain off ebay at £16!). Ingersoll Rand ones are also very good. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 CP,CP.CP,CP every time , Will last up to 5 times longer than the cheaper versions , so which is the cheaper one now. I use them every day on plant repairs and they do have a hard time . Ingersol rand ,also an excellent make as are the Snap on ones but they are nearly into the £300 marrk now.

green110 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Recomend CP. I've got two 3/4" drive impact wrenches that get used for hours on end at maximum torque without giving any trouble (running off a road compresor sometimes so no air filtration or oiling). I think they do two grades; the red stuff is a bit cheaper and less "industrial" than the silver. And obviously Snap On is great - I've got a Snap On 1/2" drive that will just about get to 600 ft lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth the extra investment! Cheers Bowy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
