Default I feel a new tool coming on

went to undo the drive shaft nuts on the Tourer I recently got, no chance with a ordinary socket set so I ordered a 3ft 4 inch breaker bar, just under £17. Felt the bar was going to snap, the nuts holding fast.

A neighbour lent me his 240v impact gun. It needed a few attempts but by god it did both nuts.

This is what he has, Clarke CEW1000 Electric Impact Wrench 240v,

450Nm of torque



Feel I wasted my money on the breaker bar but never expected the nuts to be that tight, I had un-peened them.





Generally it would be quite a faf to use, get extension lead, get impact gun where ordinary socket and extension bar normally will do but in times like this, it is worth the agro of getting the extension lead out.



May be a new toy for myself.. really impressed with it
