Hi Guys I am Just looking at getting a Impact Wrench for 4WD trips and camping...
Just to have in the 4wd to use on EVERYTHING from Wheel nuts to Head Bolts and Crankshaft, harmonic Balancer ect..;)
Budget 200ish..
Rockwell ShopSeries Cordless Impact Wrench - 1/2", 18 Volt Li-Ion - Supercheap Auto Australia
Anyone tried the Super cheap one?
i have a Ryobi 18 volt absolutely brilliant undoes wheel nuts and axle nuts with ease
I'd bet my last dollar that the damn thing would have a flat battery when I needed to use it.
At least the old breaker bar doesn't need recharging.
Supercheap may be cheap but I doubt it would be value.
Ask LandyAndy, he did all the legwork on them.
I recently bought a Ryobi which is $149 at Bunnings.
It doesn't come with a battery, but I have 2 Lithium batteries for the rest of my Ryobi tools.
Seeing you are asking the question you probably don't have Ryobi 18V system, but IMHO they are great. I have had a drill , vacuum, and cut off saw for 10+ years and a blower for 8 and all are still going strong.
Regards Philip A

Otherwise a brand name with a good battery , as this determines the price and life of the driver. Milwaukee etc but will exceed your set budget. All of the brand names mentioned so far have very expensive batteries which are about the same or are more than your current budget.
I mean like camping in 4WD accessible area's and I need to take a control arm off or undo a drive-shaft..ectQuote:

I was just reading through this thread before I bought one. I ended up getting a new model Ryobi One+ (I already have the batteries).
Ryobi have two models - One that has 265Nm and One that has 360Nm and 3 speeds. Both are $159 for the skin only. It also comes with an adapter to make it a 1/4" impact driver, which I wish I knew before I bought an impact driver earlier in the year.
I stumbled across the higher torque model in Bunnings as a kit ($300 with a 2.5Ah and a 5.0Ah battery and charger) but couldnt find just a skin on the shelf (only the lower torque older model). After a few phone calls and some explaining it turns out they do have the new ones, just not on the shelf. You need to specifically ask for the model number and they may have to order them in.
I haven't had a chance to use it yet (it's a Christmas present) but if I remember (or if I have trouble with it :p ) I'll post back once I've used it.
