    Impact wrenches

    Ok now I feel a little foolish.. you see I have on-road and off-road tyres and I never knew you could get 12v (some even cordless) impact wrenches ops:

    These would make changing the tyres soo much easier.

    Anyway now that I saw the post on the For Sale section saying repco had some on special, I thought I'd have a look around.

    I've found one that looks interesting and it states:

    Four heavy duty impact sockets: 17mm, 19mm (3/4"), 21mm, 23mm

    Will this cover the wheelnuts on my '94 Defender 110 300tdi?

    I'm not in Australia to check at the moment, else I'd just wander down and have a look :?

    You need a 27mm socket and a impact gun with a bit of umpf to do the job.
    Make sure you use a torque wrench to double check the tension of the wheel nuts.

    Yeah but $49 for the 12v Impact Wrench and another $13 for a heavy duty 27mm socket which still fits easily in the case was a great buy IMO... i tested it on a few nuts on the rangy and disco and did them wth ease... i love my new toy
