Cordless Impact Wrench

[sydsider]

Any quality impact wrenches for under 300 bucks that will do the job on the VE Commo, or any other models out there?
After using the spring compressors on the struts, im not doing anything by hand anymore except the small stuff.
What a ball breaker that was.
And anyone know what the highest torqued bolts are on the VE?
So im not stuck in the middle of the next job without the power required to undo any nuts or bolts?

I recently got this Ryobi one for wheel nuts. No complaints.

I have a toolpro one...Got it through supercheap.....Set me back round the $170 mark with charger and battery....Good enough for everyday mechanical work on a car, including undoing wheel nuts....Had it for about 2 or 3 years now and still going well

do not try the front balancer/engine pulley with any cordless impact wrench on any LSx or
SIDI 6 cyl engine. They just do not cut it, not enuff grunt you see!

I can barely crack the balancer bolts with an air impact gun let alone an 18v one.

Would it be this one?
Cause the reviews on Supercheap on it are a bit suss man.
Or is it another. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p...VEtEWBR3X_AiEEAQYASABEgKIHfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Yeah, im already leaning towards it. I used a Ryobi electric wipper snipper recently, and it started smoking. And stopped working. So im a bit suss as well.
I like the Makita ones.
