patman Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I was wondering please if anyone could give any advice on tools etc, it's great and cheaper of course to do as much stuff yourself on your car as you can, saves labour charges etc, my question is, are there any impact guns out there what don't cost a bomb like snap on etc, but do the same kind of job, for example: taking the wheel nuts of the car to change discs and pads, or lower suspension nut and bolt, sometimes wheel nuts seem hard to get off, so looking for a cheaper impact gun then the main expensive brands what will do just a good job, any help on what to buy would be great thankyou 👍🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I use an ingersoll rand w7000 pretty much constantly. Had it about a year and its still decent.Could try find a 2nd hand one on gumtree, lads are always buying the latest guns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maddox710 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Impact guns are probably the most popular tool you'll wonder why you hadn't brought one sooner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It's very rare that I use one lol. Got a big pneumatic snap on jobbie if I ever need it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 All you need is a 10,12 and 14 mm spanner to take a starlet apart 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 All you need is a 10,12 and 14 mm spanner to take a starlet apart 😂Hardly worth an impact gun lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hahahahaha whitenoize very true, I have all spanner sets and screwdriver sets, and to be fair I'm not sure why I haven't got an impact gun myself yet, but thankyou so much for the tips lads I will get looking and buy one thanks once again.Pat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I have a nielsen one off eBay.about £70 perfect for what you want.Saves alot of time taking wheels off etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 That seems a great price thankyou Ollie, I have been having a good noise on eBay aswell, I have been noticing the power of them too, 300nm 400nm etc, I was thinking 300nm would get the bolts/nuts off but then for should I go for a 400nm one to be sure 👍🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/24v-Li-Ion-Cordless-Impact-Wrench-Gun-1-2-Drive-2-Twin-Lithium-Batteries-/221818482739?epid=632142251&hash=item33a5697033:g:g-EAAOSwyQtVjW4g thats the one I have, broke once and they replaced the whole thing. 300nm is plenty for most jobs tbh. For a hobby it will do the job, obviously not mechanic standard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
