akyakapotter Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Looking at getting one to make life easier any one recomend one not looking at spending mega money so snap on is out of the question. Edited February 19, 2015 by akyakapotter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I got a Clarke CEW1000, 1000 Nm of torque and will undo anything. The only downside is it's quite bulky so not ideal to get in those hard to reach area's and its corded. I've used DeWalt and Makita ones before, they are a bit more versatile in terms of size, don't get the same punch like the Clarke though but plenty good enough for most jobs.

Ollieh17 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Ive got a clarke CIR220 maximum torque is 220nm i think but it has the added bonus of being battery powered and charges fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidAshton Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 +1 for the Clarke CEW1000 Never failed me on a Starlet bolt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Its okay for most bolts.struggles on a few of the very tight bolts. But crack it with a ratchet and a breaker and its fine. Its better than the airgun i have, that is shit lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bean Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I've got a 1/2 inch ingersol rand impact gun 20v 7150 I think the model number is. It's a great bit of kit I love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shaungt Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I've got some 18v lithium snap on gun it's ok prob not worth the £630.00 I paid for it as there must be better for less money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ashep91 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Is the battery powered clarke got enough torque to get the bolts off I had a look it was 220mn I wasn't sure so didn't buy one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
