Impact Gun

[yates]

First of all sorry Mario for taking up a thread.

Does anyone have any links to a good impact gun? I know there are a few out there, I cant view ebay tho, been looking on machine mart, has anyone got one?

Thanks

A good impact gun will cost pal, what are you using it for? Home or work? Do you have a compressor at home your going to use it with and how big is the compressor.

Ill be honest if its for work use get a snap on or mac! If its for light home use a Sealey one would suffice

As Craig said snapon are the best ones, I have a 24v one and runs I think 400 lbft torque? But are not cheap, sealy one are a decent budget ones but bushes and batteries lasted 2 years

I bought (not brought) a 18v snapon one a few months back with 2 battery and it's genuine case in very good condition for £250 delivered!

And what you trying to say?????lol!!

Snap on are the best. But you get what you pay for.

Oh we talking about battery impact guns I was on about air guns. I guess the same applies, snap on top of the list. They last years too. Again all depends on what kind of usage to justify price

 

[Simon@NTS]

Battery guns are the best IMO as they are durable, deliver good power and can be used anywhere compared to air powered

Only prob is sustained use, we thought about one in the breakdown van but its the holding a charge and when we finally get around to using it will it have enough umpf left, we got a compressor in the van and also in workshop so max power all the time. I suppose also on cars a battery one is ok not so much trucks

Tbh I keep mine in the van it's 3 years old and doesn't loose charge, and these days it can be standing for months without loosing charge, saying that the sealy one didn't hold charge, also snapon one is one hour charge, and I've used it to remove head bolts from a qsk30 generator!!

well just for the car, not work, not big jobs either, was looking at the clarke ones from machine mart. I dont think id ever get the use out of it to justify paying snap on prices

Have a look on eBay at a used one... Prob grab a steal and it will keep going. Not heard of Clarke only lower priced ones I know of really are sealy but as already said batt not too good at holding charge

Makita is quite good with lithium-ion battery.

used to use a air powered ingersollrand titanium till it ate its self one day , so got a air powered taskmaster tmua800fl to use as a stop gap till i got it fixed and after 2 years im still using the task master daily , cost less than £150 and will undo most things on your avarage car :O)
