impact wrench
drmike:
Roughly what I was thinking. I'm happy to use the torque wrench for final tightening and have teh air gun to spin the nuts off.
Just stripped my current gun down again and it's a bit better after cleaning the vanes but I had to whack it to get it to spin up. I think something mysterious is sticking but there's so little in there it's hard to see what it can be.

I bought an aldi one. Comes with some sockets and in a case too, so it aint bad for the money.
I've tried it and it works! I managed to successfully round a bolt off and bend a halfords socket with it! :lol:
Aldi have an air chisel too which is £8 and pretty good! (bin removing some concrete with mine today!)

:D :D Screwfix do an in line oiler for these things...just keep the reservoir full of a light oil and it keeps whatever tool you're using oiled up...
:D :D Terry Smith :wink: :wink:

I got the Aldi one yesterday.
On a very quick test it seems far better than the Machine Mart one which cost a good deal more.
I'm sure it's not industrial strength but it got a wheel nut off and put it back on again and the torque wrench said it didn't need further tightening so it may even have done it up too tight. The MM one never managed that.
So not bad (I hope) oh and a three year warranty not a 12 month one as per MM.
