I'm not sure how long those sockets will last with an impact driver?

That's not an impact socket from the Halfords 3/4 set. Cocoon is just showing off:D

I think he might just be letting the great unwashed masses know he picked up two of the best BA bargains this year

It's actually a good picture to gauge the size of the socket set though as the dewalt, as big as it is, is simply dwarfed. That large socket is just massive.

Im a mechanic by trade and used this today im well impressed. I was lookin at the milwaukee half inch as i already have the three eigth one but it was nearly three times the price.
Anyone not used to air guns or battery guns be carefull when tightening or you will be replacing wheel studs :-)

Looking for deep impact sockets to go with this kit. Set of teng on ebay for 50 euro delivered.

Any recommendations

rocksolid · 24-03-2017 03:24PM

Got mine today also....some piece of kit.....

Jumped on this Saturday as soon as i seen this thread as i know it is retailing for bout €500 in the shops here.

I thought there is no way this can be sold for €210, it was a pricing error as i rang screwfix on Monday last and was told that they made a mistake and that it should have been just the impact wrench and x1 battery (probably not a 5ah) with NO case, 2nd battery or charger that should have been listed.

Have to say fair play to them honoring it, many wouldn't have....

Cheeers, any suggestions?

Have a Clarke 240V impact wrench and using sockets that came with that and they seem grand - takes the effort out of removing the car wheels!

I have one albeit the Bosch version, it's probably my favourite piece of kit.
Million and one uses.

The dewalt got it's first real test this morning. Removing a thoroughly rusty tow hitch. Normally this would be plenty of wd40, hit with hammer and chisel a few times to try and break the rust bond, and foot on the breaker bar job.

With this however, from the time the socket was on the bolt to fully off about 3 seconds! A few knocks, a little cloud of rust and it zipped off. Some job. Also coped with removing two front shocks not a bother. Very usefull bit of kit.

Great to see it getting use M-I-M-M.

If anyone has second thoughts and would like to sell for a reasonable profit drop me a PM.

26-03-2017 09:07PM

Is it worth the original price that its on screwfix for now? I need one regardless and whilst itd have been nice to get it for good money is it still worth it?

Obviously the €210 was a steal. It's current price is about it's corect mark when compared to Amazon (£359) so not any savings to be had there monce you factor in shipping.

If I had to have one, i'd buy a bare unit for £150 and grab a battery and charger for somewhere in the region of £100. It's unlikely that you would need a 2nd battery unless it was going to be in constant use - the 5.0ah fully charged should be up to quite a bit of graft. You could basically save yourself about 100£ by dropping a battery and the box. Not an ideal solution, but it's an option.

I'd sell those pics to Dewalt. Superb!

Well the drill was a once off adverts buy. But the kit combined is pretty much the same as this less one battery. Look at the price!
