Im looking at getting a decent impact wrench.. my mums partner already has a lot of dewalt kit which means I can use his 18v batteries so I can buy a bare unit.
How much torque do I need? the larger one delivers 415nm and the smaller one 180nm. Advantage to the smaller one is obviously getting into smaller spaces but will I need that extra torque from the bigger one? Theres about 100 quid between them as well.
As far as I can remember there aren't many nuts/bolts that require more than 150 Nm on the car, with the exception of the driveshaft-hub nut which is 340 Nm on the Mk 1/2.
Oh my god this thing is awesome, did a headgasket today with it.. the crank shaft pulley bolt would not move.. used a bar and it just slipped off the cam belt. Gave the impact wrench a good charge and it just smacked it off with seemingly no effort or having to lock the flywheel.
Why ive worked on my motors for so long without one of these is beyond me lol
