    Air, mains or battery?
    Got a decent enough 220v Clarke International online from the UK for70-odd euro. It arrived here next day. Fine for home use (and got a hub nut off that I'd been trying to get off for weeks in less than five minutes!)

    Pneumatic, electric or battery driven ?

    We buy them from www.airimpact.ie

    We also have Makita battery powered ones and they are the dog's -but expensive.

    Aldi one is ok. Just make sure you use lubricating oil on it before you use it. If you don't it will never work a second time.

    Don't ask me how I know!

    I didn't know mains impact guns were available! EBAY

    That ebay mains powered one is 450Nm, the Aldi is 310Nm, a big difference

    Neither did I - it was a very pleasant surprise!!!
    This is the crowd I bought off - http://www.ebay.ie/itm/1-2-Corded-Impact-Wrench-240V-Sockets-Case-Clarke-CEW1000-GO-NEXTDAY-3-99-/400398257241?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item5d39988c59

    Delivery to Ireland was pretty fast.
    Comes with a set of spare brushes and a handful of impact sockets.
    Perfect for what I need it for.

    If you gotta have an air gun, spend good money on it. And you need a compressor with a good size tank and a decent hose and a set of sockets.

    For 'home' use I bought the Clarke CEW1000 Electric Impact Wrench. £52 stg at the moment and that includes a case and a set of impact socketc. It's 450Nm for £52 Stg, I reckon it's the best bang-for-buck unit on the market.

    I had an impact wrench years ago, before I bought a battery impact wrench and then an air compressor, which looked exactly like the one in the link, I cant remember the brand and I don't have it anymore, but it was one of the best investments I made at the time. it was strong enough to loosen Honda crankshaft pulley bolts and that's saying something. When mine broke I remember trying lots of places for a new one but no luck.
