Which Impact wrench....?

[dirty harry]

My old 24v Sealy impact wrench has died & the cost of a new battery is making me wander about just buying a new one?
mostly used for changing sprayer wheels etc , 30mm nuts?
Wandering about getting a 3/4” one this time but cost a fair bit more than a 1/2”?
experiences/opinions?
cheers dh

Snap on or Mac, for serious stuff, otherwise makita. Have to say I don’t rate Milwaukee, can’t put my finger on it, but makita anyway.

Another vote for Milwakee. We purchased one of these a few months ago and we are very pleased with it so far.,

We've Milwaukee grinder, drill.1/2" impact wrench. Never let us down yet. Batteries are past there best. Do I just have to buy new ones or does anyone refurbish them or exchange them.

Do you have any other brand of power tools already? Easiest to carry on with the brand you have so all batteries interchangeable! If starting from scratch Milwaukee probably best. Milwaukee do bigger sized batteries than some of the other brands. Used a 1 inch brushless m18 fuel impact gun the other day with an 8ah battery what a weapon!!

You can get copy ones but can b variable in reliability

Milwaukee here,rips all the tractor wheel nuts and Manitou 30/32mm nuts off. Just check which power,higher the better

Bought a Clarke from machine mart, don't use it much, but a battery still died far too quickly.

Is yours a 1/2” or 3/4”? Cheers dh

 

[dirty harry]

Am thinking along the Milwaukee lines, only seem to hear good things generally, my old 18v drill is v old aswell so could start with an impact wrench & drill & add as necessary? Cheers dh

Also do you have to crack the nuts off with scaffold tube etc or will it whizz em straight off? Cheers dh

 

[Suffolk Serf]

All my cordless tools are Makita, i've got a small, quite puny impact wrench of theirs which is okay for everything except high torque applications (eg wheel nuts). I expect that they now do suitable high torque impact wrenches now, are they okay?

Will your 1/2” get stubborn nuts straight off or do you need to crack them first manually? Wandering whether to go 1/2 or 3/4”? Cheers dh

if you just using it on wheel nuts and ay 16mm bolts upwards, buy the Milwaukee 3/4 with friction ring not a pin detent.
It rarely beaten IMO.
