I keep seeing these things advertised.

Anyone got or used one, and if so what do you think of them?

I have a cordless impact driver from B&Q. Not sure if it is 12 or 14v but has 2 batteries and I use the hell out of it.

on the other hand you can buy a snap on one for about £300-400 and they are very good

mines 19.6v. They are good but nowhere near as good as an air gun. They do come in handy for shifting crank bolts though.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/24V-Cordless-...id=p4634.c0.m14.l1262&_trkparms=|293:2|294:30I have one of these

only used it on one job but took 10 wheel nuts off my disco without trying.


Looks identical to the sealey one apart from the sealey one uses a snap ring to retain the sockets and this one has a ball bearing.

i was goin to say that too, if yer goin to buy one ( electric) go for something 14 - 18v min, i have an 18 v dewalt too, well used with 3 batterys , 1/2 hr charge , never let me down, on the other handin the workshop i use mostly sealy / snapon / britool and MAC air tools, well worth the money if yer want to shift somethin quick, or snap it off !
