Default Parkside Pneumatic Wrench

Hi All


Does anyone have any experience with one of these?
Just picked one up from the bay, basically new, never been used. I don't plan any heavy wrenching, so it will only get light use, changing wheels etc

The problem I have is that the Forward/Reverse plunger won't budge tried without & with air, no difference. I've just used my thumb so far.
How much force should I use?? never had one before so I'm probably being a bit of a wuss.


Steve

I did consider that, but I'm worried I will do some damage!

dont know what it says in the instruction manual but have you tried rotation forwards and back of the socket drive whilst trying ? hope this is not the reason for not being used ... but lets hope not. maybe others on here have similar or same type of tools that may advise. good luck. !

It will have a three year warranty so nothing to lose.

Not this one , came from the bay & the seller has said he doesn't have the receipt anymore. I may have to send it back to him if I can't sort it.

Maybe just me but could that be the reason they stuck it on eBay in the first place.

mine moves quite easily, have you tried pulling the trigger as you try to move it or manually turning the square drive? I had an old drill that would have this issue, turn the chuck as you changed its direction and it would be fine.

But it may be worth considering buying one (providing they are the same version - they have been updated since I got mine) when they come back into 'the middle aisle' and returning it then for a refund with a new receipt. They are about £20/25 from what I remember. It wouldnt really be that immoral providing it did originate in a Lidl at some point in the last three years.
