I bought a dirt cheap one from MachineMart, must have cost only £40-50. 400lb/s torque and literally got any nut unstuck, even the long rear hub bolt.
Im trying to find it on there but it seems to have disappeared...

Cheers for link, i was thinking about getting a battery one, but to be honest electric one might be better. As will mainly be using at home.

I have a Makita 18v impact wrench, and in all fairness it is a bit gutless. Great for taking most bits apart, but for example if a wheel nut is done up really tight (as in, it's either rusted on there, or a tyre shop has gunned it up), or a a crank bolt is really stuck on etc, it does not do anything useful.
It's great for loosened up nuts, and nuts that aren't crazy tight (ie normal wheel nut style), as it's nice and easy to manoeuvre into place etc.
I also have a silverline air impact wrench, and that's has about the same power, but of course needs an air line etc, which is annoying if access is tight. One benefit is that it's a bit smaller than the Makita, so sometimes it just about fits.
My third wrench is a snap-on "blue point" wrench from last century. It leaks air, doesn't hold on to sockets anymore etc etc (bought cheap off ebay), but it's amazingly powerful. I have not come across a bolt/nut that it will not undo yet.
I tend to reach for the Makita first, and then use a breaker bar, or failing that, use the old air gun.

That dewalt dcf899 is the 1, glowing reviews on the track time pages on fb, fawor is on about another model as this is the 1 to have, bit bulky compared but top.
About £150 for body and £50-£60 for a battery n charger separate works out cheaper

Dewalt are black&decker, we have a good few of their drills in work and impact wrenches. I think clever marketing sells them over how actually good they are..........personal opinion.

Agree, I went with real life reviews of owners by reading etc and the dewalt, snap on and Milwaukee were the top dogs. But the dewalt price buying it seperate came in cheaper which encouraged me. You can also get copy Chinese batteries which I've read are pretty decent to save some money too.
