1/2" drive Cordless Impact gun
Recommendations please for car servicing/maintenance work (wheel studs and general maintenance). I had an air impact gun but could do with a cordless to save having to cart the compressor or pipes around the garage. Don't want too flimsy but don't need too heavy. My old joints are getting past heavy spannering but don't want to give up altogether! By the time I get all the wheel fixings off I get too tired to remove the wheel!!! I already have a small driver that is OK for running on or off once the nuts/bolts are free.

I think that wheel studs/nuts will be the biggest torque that I will need now!

I have a Milwaukee M18 impact. It's a handy tool although when rattling off
something very tight like a KV6 crank pulley the battery does have to be fully charged. Wheel nuts are a breeze. As a bonus Milwaukee has a range of tools that use the same battery. I have their circular saw, shop vac and leaf blower and string trimmer.

I ended up going to a garage in Eastbourne which literally used blood, sweat and one of those thermal coil things.
Back on topic, I bought an air gun from LIDL middle aisle. A total waste of money, I could hold the socket and the ratchet would slip. |

I will second the Milwaukee M18, they come in a range of powers depending on what you are intending to use it for.
The kit including a battery and charger is often on a special on SGS if you are patient. I have the biggest one and it has yet to fail but as has been said the battery needs to be fully charged on some of the tougher jobs.
