£29.99 for an electric Impact Wrench seems like a cracking deal especially for the occasional diy-er. Available Mon 28th March from Lidl.
For direct drilling into concrete and wood, loosening tight screws or assembling car wheels
High-power mechanism with safety limited torque to avoid damage to the workpiece or rims
With robust metal mechanism housing, non-slip soft grip handle and selector switch for right/left rotation
Includes carry case with compartments, 4 impact wrench sockets (SW 17, 19, 21, 22) and 2 spare carbon brushes
450W
Looks tempting for occasional use when compared to air or battery that's if the spec's are accurate anyone had one to comment on? :smile:

I just ordered a Clarke CEW1000 from ebay for £62.50. These look like the same tool but branded differently. Don't know whether the internals will be the same.
The clarke one is 450nm torque whereas this is 320nm so I guess it is different parts.
The reviews i found online for parkside power tools were all good. If I hadnt ordered the clarke about 30 seconds before coming on HUKD then I would have probably held out another week for one of these.
I want it for undoing a crankshaft pulley bolt on my car and other general garage work.

They don't look anything like the same model rebranded to me - usually the plastic shells are identical bar colour, but these two models look completely different right down to the switch, the metal drive section, etc.
Either model looks like a good buy though, if I didn't already have a pair of air powered ones this would be on my shopping list.

I don't have a crankshaft pulley to do but I wished I had one of these when I was doing a wheel-bearing - to tighten 140 nm then a further 90 degrees (bloody audi I had to put a scaffold pole on my 600mm bar to get the pressure on) you should have seen the problems I had in taking it off (you had to get someone to stand on the brakes to stop the car from moving while you did it) - anyway I could have done with this (I will get one now) - not sure if 320nm will be enough?

Would be very interested in reviews on this.

My mistake. I had a image of a Moss impact wrench open still from my lengthy search and confused the two!
In that case personally I'd have more reason for concern but reviews do seem good. Still voting hot.
