i struggled quite a bit getting the wheel nuts off, because of my back, even with a breaker bar, so thought getting one would help me a little getting things like that undone :D:D

i certainally wouldn't go anywhere near or attempt a wishbone change , seen them being taken off with an angle grinder :eek::eek:

Plus, you get to pretend you are in a Grand Prix team, :p

Obviously , do not use to tighten the wheel nuts back up again.

Never really seen the need for an Impact gun, always managed with the old manual tools.
No doubt if I bought one , by the time I went to use it the battery would be flat:(

Found the same thing! Ive often looked at the the tool "porn" site at SGS, even added stuff to the basket, but when I get to check out, I realise I dont actually like impact wrenches!
Its probably a subconscious thing, I dont want to look/sound like a Kwik Fit fitter!
But I do have an impact driver, its 30 years old and works a treat, very good on brake drum/disc screws!

PS An ordinary battery drill with a socket driver is great for removing/installing the small bolts on the TD5 sump/oil pump, though!
 
To the best of my knowledge, regards to the power tools only, an impact driver is for screw type fixings, mainly wood and it impacts rotationally, and impacts into the screw, push it into the wood etc. So it impacts in 2 directions at once.

An Impact wrench has a square drive on the front to fit sockets, and only impacts rotationally, and puts out alot more torque than the impact driver, often more when removing.

Smaller one :)
Theyre all mostly 1/2" drive

The MachineMart ones i think are great VFM, but i got the makita just because i have the 3ah batteries already
 
I have a Ryobi Impact Driver (their description) and 2 4ah batteries, use it for wood butchering and built a few decks and a workshop with them
(used other tools as well)

This was my first deck built out my head! prior to treatments
 
Epic decking!!!! Fantastic! Do you have a band to play on it!
My impact driver is the type you hit with a hammer, but I guess a "modern" impact driver is the battery powered one!
My favourite battery impact driver is the small Makita 10.5V, does a great job and doesnt mash up screws.
Ive noticed in the UK that star drive screws dont seem too popular, they are absolute best for decking!
 
Think it was a bit over engineered, you could probably park a land rover on it, with the amount of concrete underneath and also the fixings
 
My daughter would love its similarity to a fort!
Shes been bugging me to build her a fort/castle!
It could have done with searchlights and flag post!
