Having been thinking about buying something like this below. Anyone have a similar tool?

 

Good/bad points? thanks H

dont know about that one but i have 12volt one and its shi-ite

my mates got a 24v dewalt one, it's not bad, handy to keep in your boot as i'm always fixing cars, but not a patch on an air one tho...

Got to your local http://www.machinemart.co.uk/ and try one out..

Depends on what its for, I have used a Snap On 18v at work on commercials on larger rusty bolts and even wheelnuts and loosened them no problem. As for a 12v I might be looking for one of them with less power for removing auto gearbox sumps/valve blocks, all 8mm bolts to save time.

 

As for the other makes any people I have spoken with say the Snap on's are the best but you have the down side of the cost. I would like to think the Clarke etc would do a ajob for you if its for your car.

 

Cheers John

Just thought a 24v would be a tad easier when it comes to rusty nuts on exhaust etc, not sure I want to cough up for a Snap on one, for the amount of use I'll give it.

Doesnt matter what u buy from snap on its expensive but there have been a few new ones listed recently on ebay.

 

A 240v one would be of use and as you say for the money it will save time. Its rating is 450 Nm which is probably enough for most things on the car. Its never ending with what tools to buy, but they all make life easy.

 

Let us know what you get and how you get on with it.

I`ve got a snap on one, they are awesome for stripping cars and removing stubborn bolts, the battery is goosed on mine so i have attached it via jump leads to a engine starter pack, whooooooo!!!

I would buy a new battery but they are £86 !!ouch!

 

Draper do a 24volt one which is ok for light home use

I do have a brand new in box reversible air ratchet kit for sale, you will need a compressor though, its going on e-bay if anyone wants it.

 

And Mikey, your a perv :lol:

Would have this off you but, sadly limited room in the garage means I haven't the space for a compressor. :thumbdown:
