impact gun recomendations

I am looking for anyone's recommendations on an air impact gun.
Pref a reasonable quality cheapy off eBay.
I have a few jobs to do on the fender this year and can see one being usefully. I have a decent size compressor so that's no worry . But can't afford a snapon type price so any recommendations are welcome on budget priced ones

Hi i might have one at home in if you are interested i think it is a sealy but will have to have a look where about in sussex are you.

Got a sealey one which has been great. Not sure of model number but can find out if needed. Think my wife paid around £80ish - was a birthday pressie a few years back

I got one from aldi,not much good and it now dont work but to be fair, they would have repaired it if i still had the receipt.

I got the same one, tbh almost all the ones I saw on ebay looked identical, clarke, sealey, etc. All chinese crap.

Might be better getting a good 2nd hand one from the bay.

Sealey 1288 odd duel trigger ain't bad

I'm looking at getting an m7 Impact gun at some point, bit dearer than the sealey and draper ones out there but from what I've seen of my mates one they're bloody good.

Not air, and far from cheap, but best tool I've ever bought was Milwaukee Fuel Impact Gun -> 18-volt half inch fuel High Torque Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring Kit | Milwaukee Tool

Saves naffing about with air lines and the batteries last an age.

Ive got one of them excellent bit of kit, but as op has a compressor I would go for cheap air gun as A its cheap, B its physically smaller and C you can treat it like utter crap as it only cost 20/30 quid!
I would avoid second hand air guns as they are most likely worn out regardless of make.

Might go and have a look at one of these tomorrow..https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/clarke-cat141-professional-12-air-impact-wre

I must admit I hadn't thought of machine Mart and there is one just down the road from me in Brighton ..
I don't fancy A battery one as they are pricy . Plus wouldn't ever be charged when I needed it , will only be every now and then ill need one

I've got one of these..https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/clarke-cew1000-electric-impact-wrench

But it's so bloody heavy and almost impossible to use one handed but it certainly gets bolts off easily

Now that looks interesting

It's really good but if you're trying to get a nut off whilst trying to hold a spanner to the other end of the bolt then it's to bloody big, either that or I'm a bit of a weed

its also vicious , i wouldnt like to be trying to hold a spanner against my cew1000.

its a cracking tool though , it will either break it out or break it off..... its either on or off , no softly softly so use with caution.

I was going to get one to use on the 3 nuts that secure the exhaust down pipe ,as I have a new stainless one to fit ,, what are the chances of them coming undone or is this likely to rip them clean off along with the stud.. Have tried a spanner with no sign of it budging ..I've been soaking it in wd40 for a week as well

Have you tried after a good run when the down pipe is hot - watch your hands obviously!

WD40 is not penetrating oil. I find a 50/50 mix of auto trans fluid and acetone works well but be sure to keep it away from plastics. Make sure it's well mixed.

Dam that wd40 ... New I'd been doing somit wrong all these years lol

If you've got new nuts and bolts would it not be easier just to cut them off with a grinder
