how much do you have to spend? is the main question i have tree impact wrench's a cheap sealey one that would struggle to undo wheel nuts and rod craft that would probably snap a wheel nut off, i lost that one somewhere, and now a luna very powerful and haven't found anything it wont undo.

Upto £150ish, i don't want rubbish. I want to get wheel bolts off though lol.

I'm guess the nm force makes it good or bad along with build quality and all?

Thanks

up to £150 will see you with a decent impact wrench, and yes you need a decent high enough nm of force to undo the tight stuff such as hub hunts and front pulley bolts although subaru torque settings aren't as high as other manufactures, there's nothing to say that wont need to undo them at some point.

what compressor do you have ? its no good getting a all singing and dancing gun if you have a 1.5/ 2 HP 50 ltr tank Compressor if honest, you want a 3 HP 100 ltr tank @ least to keep a good gun going.

I don't own the compressor myself, i will be buying it for my job, but i'm sure they have a good compressor.

I guess around 1000 ftlb torque should cover me.

Thanks

Hi Ingersoll Rand are top guns as long as you have ample air supply. I have a Snap on gun like above and the Ingersoll's are stronger and alot quieter.
