Screwfix only offered DeWalt X amount per tool, so as a result DeWalt had to build each tool for that X amount.

Nonsense, If you buy a flagship impact driver from Screwfix like the Dewalt DCF899P2-GB, then it will be exactly the same quality as anywhere else you could have got it, except in this instance, you would have got it for about half price.

I would find this hard to believe as well, it would surely cost more in R&D trying to redesign the tool using cheaper components than any savings using those components would yield

Do they put a phone number on the package?

Cocoon · 22-03-2017 03:01PM

Received mine this morning too, nice bit of kit so it is.

Yep....the wrong one in my case.

Mine is waiting for me at my delivery address in France, cant wait to collect even though I dont need it for anything atm :pac:

How much does it weigh roughly? COuld it be taken in a big backpack you reckon?

7kgs approx. It's in a Tstak box which are standard L x W so roughly 17"x13"x7". Awkward on your back I'd say.

I'm just trying to register for the 3 year warranty, does anybody know where the serial number is on the impact wrench?

dodod · 22-03-2017 09:24PM

It's on the side of gun its on box as well like b62bwu

Bullocks · 22-03-2017 09:31PM

No sign of mine yet , I ordered it Sunday so not here within the 2/3 working days . I'm probably sound hopefully get it tomorrow but just wondering are they usually delivered within the 2/3 days

m-i-m-m- · 22-03-2017 09:32PM

Happy days, mine arrived today also. Seems like a fair few of us got in on the deal before it was too late. Good work!

Torque about a massive saving. Really made an impact on the de-wallet. Cough cough splutter. Seriously though quite the bargain, used it already swapping tyres over today, made the job a breeze.

You'll have it tomorrow I'd say. I ordered Friday, got shipping confirmation on Sat, and it arrived today.

I see that number on it alright, but on registration the DeWalt registration page only allows a numerical serial number?

Nope, for serial no., just enter the alpha-numeric opposite 'Made in USA'.
2 minute job to register and get confirmation-Pics 3,4,5.

(Pics 1 & 2 just there to annoy those that missed the deal

)

But one gripe, I fecking hate loose batteries. I'm sure they are all the same for the rest of ya. Should be a tighter fit for a premium tool.

Puntastic, a post with plenty of impact.

Thanks Dodzy, it went through on second attempt. A quick question regarding the battery, when you press the battery check button on the back it only shows one green bar which I assume is only partially charged but the charger shows that it's fully charged?

I'd imagine anyone selling for profit on adverts will get a hard time.

The battery has to click in to the charger.

As an aside seen as its not likely someone is gonna decide they dont need theirs and part with it for around face value, can anyone reccomend a similar wrench thats not big bucks for work on the car? Ive heard milwaukee mentioned before as an excellent one but again your looking at €500 lids or so. Is there anything out there for up to €250 that is in anyway decent?

Turner · 23-03-2017 02:13PM

Its back on the irish website again. €434.95

Doubt they will ever sell it at the discounted price again.
