Used mine today, saved me some time and feels pretty solid. More than happy for the price, even with the delay.

Ok, well mine's going to have to go back for a replacement. All started out working well this morning, but after a bit the 'hammer' action of the ratchet stopped working intermittently. I took the front off it and managed to free the spring which got it to work again for about 30 seconds after I put it back together, bit then it went back to not working again.

When it worked, it worked well and I was very impressed with it, but then it just became intermittent and then nothing at all which was frustrating and I ended up resorting to hand tools instead.

No idea how long it'll take to get a replacement, considering the length of time to get this one! I'd urge anyone else who's bought one to try it out sooner rather than later to check you've not got a dud like mine.

Same here - mine turned up Wednesday. I'm (oddly) quite looking forward to replacing the shocks, wishbones, droplinks and ARB bushes on my wife's car this weekend now. I've had all the bits sitting in the shed for ages (over a year!) and the weather looks to be nice this weekend so I'm going to get on and do it.

got a camel price drop notification set up on this.

Thank you op!!

Received a couple of days ago, will need to find some nuts to loosen ... lol!, sad when you laugh at your own jokes, work stresses having a impact on normality

Well this eventually turned into a huge win. After complaining that they had lost my package after waiting 4 months to ship it they did a recall and ordered another giving me a free months prime for the trouble, then the new one that was in stock at the time got delayed and went out of bloody stock so I moaned about this and got a £10 credit, it finally shipped from France and arrived today, total cost £8.06 :face_with_monocle:

I finally received a proper dispatch notification this morning, so although I don't actually have it yet, it does seem to be on its way.

Got mine a few days ago it works brilliant well worth the months of waiting... Must admit I did nearly cancel it a few times lol :raised_hand: thanks op

Mines been sent today arriving Monday finally ;-)

Remember to register for your 3 year warranty certificate. Takes about 2 minutes max.

Yay!

Mine is here! Looks very solid; have my bike to fix today, so not much opportunity to test it there, but very decent feeling kit for the money.

Happy!

‌ :grin:

Seems a bit strange that only two of us have made comment about receiving our order.

just got mine - looks good , I might give it a go tomorrow
anyway supprised to say the least

Anyone else got it delivered?

Just received mine.

It seems very odd that there are so many issues with this order (mine now says that if I don't have it by Thursday, I should contact them for 'other options').

Maybe it's just that the orders are so old?

Maybe this is how they get rid of orders that they can never fulfil?

Strange.

‌ :unamused:

OK, so after an online chat with Amazon support, there was apparently a problem with my original order on their system which is why mine still keeps getting pushed back and not actually dispatched. They advised me to re-order it and then adjusted the new order to price-match it to the price of the original order, before cancelling the original order. It should be dispatched tomorrow and delivered by the end of the week, although in reality the chat advisor said it will likely arrive tomorrow, through Prime.

If anyone else is finding that their order is still being pushed back, even though Amazon now claim to have stock (see the "Other Sellers on Amazon" bit of the page), I advise you get in touch with them.

Mine is now out for delivery. Getting this information when I click on the order on Amazon website.

How are you guys getting such detailed tracking information? Mine still just says "Expected by 14 Aug" (which is today) and "No tracking information. We're preparing your order. Carrier information will be updated soon." I've not had any dispatch notification yet though, and am fully expecting to get yet another apology email from Amazon and for them to push the date back again.

Mine is now in Glasgow, only 35 miles away. Looks like it is almost here.

Arriving tomorrow, wonders never cease.

Mine is also lost in transit.

Very odd. One might even say suspicious.

So near, and yet so far.

‌ :disappointed:

Mine apparently stopped off for an overnight 'break' in Belgium on Friday, now arrived in England somewhere. Might have it in my hands by the middle of the week. Was it worth waiting for something I don't really need as the last impact driver I bought is still sitting in its case, unused! But that was a 12 volt one, so a bit of a faff to attach to car battery, this one is straight into a wall socket in my garage. Thanks again to the OP.

And mine got lost, and now apparently found again so delayed by a day and a free months prime. ffs.

We thought you'd like to know that we've dispatched your item(s).

If I had known I wouldn't have taken her to see the damn thing, hate the car, it's crap to work on.

Whoo hoo, mine has been dispatched too. Thanks for posting the deal championadam I just realised I now need to buy a generator so I can rescue my wife who has been waiting 4 months at the roadside for me to change her wheel.
Can anyone point me in the direction of the one with the longest lead time? It's so quiet at home.

Even with the car jacked up? What a PITA. Get a Subaru next time; easiest car I ever worked on. :smile:

timing is good as I think I will be dropping the subframe off the wife's mini in the next few weeks, who the hell designs a cars front anti roll bar bushes with less than 10mm from the top of the thread to the chassis, you guessed it, BMW/Mini
A half day job at best when I can do the ones on my BMW without removing anything other than the ARB bush bolts in less than 20 minutes :rage:

I'm still on "Dispatching Soon". Fingers crossed.

Yep, mine is also dispatched!

I'm glad I didn't cancel; assuming it works it's still a bargain even with the wait.

‌ :grin:

Wow, it's actually been dispatched 4 months after ordering! :astonished:

Finally received it

Yeah, I got a 'payment declined' email because the card I paid on (all those weeks ago) has expired! :grin:

So things are looking better!

‌ :smile:

Dispatch email received

Mine's been pushed back (yet) again. Received the following email yesterday:

We’re writing to let you know that the following items have been unexpectedly delayed:

"Silverline 593128 400 W Electric Wrench"
Estimated arrival date: August 11 2017 - August 14 2017

got a were dispatching email today

I've got a classic Impreza that's just coming up to be due a timing-belt and I was going to do it myself this time. I hadn't even thought about using this for it, but that'd be perfect timing (no pun intended!) if it does turn up.

Same here. I'm never going to cancel it. Never.

Originally ordered it to break the crank pulley off my Subaru so I could do the timing belt. Did that months ago with a scaffolding pipe!

Not actually sure when I would next use this if it turned up, but that's not the point, is it?!

‌ :grin:

I've just received the same email. Not going to hold my breath, but it does look promising!

Delivery Estimate:
Tuesday, 8 August 2017 - Wednesday, 9 August 2017 by 9:00 pm

Finally got a shipping date "Estimated arrival date: August 08 2017 - August 11 2017", has everyone else got an email?

Did mine, used an allen key and vortex socket to get them tight, been a couple of months and she is still here to tell the story!

Should it ever show up I will wang it up or may see if the 12v bosch one I bagged manages to turn it.
Good job they are locknuts :smile:

Yeah; I've left the order open, but I doubt they'll ever turn up. Shame as it's the only electric impact wrench I've seen with good reviews.

obviously we are not getting these - it was too cheap, I would just do the shocks!

Anyone else get the feeling that we'll never see these? Getting a bit irritating now, as I've got some new shock absorbers to fit to my car and I keep putting it off. I know it'll be so much quicker and easier to do when (if!?) this arrives.

Estimated arrival date: July 18 2017 - August 04 2017

Arriving 19 Jul - 3 Aug

Now arriving 24 Jun - 4 Jul

I have had an email


Never expected this to happen! :face_with_monocle:

Still waiting patiently for mine. Currently showing as: Expected by 7 Jun

Never got mine delivered and now says June but for that price il wait.

I've been knocked back another month to June... ffs amazon, cancelled it

We’re writing to let you know that the following items have been unexpectedly delayed:

"Silverline 593128 400 W Electric Wrench"
Estimated arrival date: June 01 2017 - June 20 2017

Ties in with the delay email they sent me then.

Now saying Arriving 23 May - 7 Jun

No, I had hoped it would arrive in time to do the front shock swap on the wife's car to wang up the top nuts.

Is true; nothing has been shipped yet. Oh well. :disappointed:

you missed nothing - still waiting , nothing (second deal from amazon I have gone for that seems to be a pointless wait for nothing)

Can this still be had anywhere else? Or a similar good one?

Missed a good deal by the looks of it :disappointed: And it's not in stock any more!

hmm missed the deal

So long as people remember to hit the rusty nuts with a shot of plus gas a few hours in advance you shouldn't shear off any nuts.

and this a much cheaper option

surely this is more handy

Car wheels are usually sub 200nm

The rep on the phone/live chat relies on a positive outcome as each time they take a query and mark it as resolved + customer happy will keep the performance rating where they want it!

Depends whether or not customer has opened box before deciding to return.

Amazon have to take it back but can not sell as new.

Processing a return and new order is probably no more hassle for Amazon than issuing a partial refund. Yes it's more hassle for the customer but I guess that's their intention.

I of had some

Some people shouldn't be allowed to possess tools.

​oh i dont know, a good british tea can be quite thick, a 10.8V impact might struggle for that

Great spot

Heat, ordered

I know the feeling...it brings out The Man out of you. Gets the jobs done proper in no hesitation. In other words, no nonsense.

Ok you might get away with a breaker bar..

That's what I said when I bought the rotating bow-tie

This is cheap... You'll regret not getting one when you need it!!

I think the Bosch is more suited for screwdriving.

Bosch specs give it a torque rating of 110Nm, just about enough to fit a wheelnut, but useless at removing a fitted one. Could use it to stir tea I suppose.

if the threads got damaged undoing then that cant be the fault of the tool, its possible they where cross threaded when they where put on maybe by a tyre shop.

Its good when it worked!
i bought this impact wrench a few months ago . worked great used it for suspension mounts and wheel hubs . But it broke last week .amazon gave full refund though . i paid £35

Air gun or cheaper, slip a length of scaffold pipe over the breaker - behold the worlds longest spanner!

Amazon will refund the difference if the price drops within a certain time after you bought it

I dont think this would have done it tbh... would still need to crack it with the bar i reckon

Very, very tight.

Wheel lugs are usually 100-150.

Crank pulley I did last week was 180, and that was plenty hard.

Ordered, be rude not to..
Do have to replace the cam belt on the STi and the crank pulley bolt can be a battle with a 6 foot scaffold pole.
Thanks OP.

Max torque 350 Nm - I dont know what that translates to in practice, wish I had this tool to undo the hub nut I had to undo this week, I had to stand on a 600mm breaker bar and Im about 14 stone, but it didnt need all my weight. One of these would feel safer.

​what you do in your spare time is of no interest to me

Would be nice to have an impact gun without having to get the compressor running...
3 years warranty if you register with Silverline apparently so worth a go.

This was £19.11 yesterday, but the price has been jumping about the past few days. £26.05 seems like a decent price.

or the 200 pound gorilla

Too cheap to say no !

​Good reduction in the Bosch, but will need to add a battery and charger to the cost.

Nice, just bagged one. Have looked at the cordless ones in the past, but at this price it seems a cheap way to add some brute force to help my arthritic hands get tough nuts on the car moving without risking injury/pain.
Thanks OP.

I don't really know much about these things, but theres also a cordless Bosch Impact Wrench for £25.60 which has just dropped from ~£100 so seems like a good deal :stuck_out_tongue:

Its temporarily out of stock but still lets you place an order to be delivered when in stock

If only it was battery powered :disappointed:

I think the Parkside one is off/on though isn't it?

This one has variable speed/torque depending on trigger squeeze so should be easier to avoid nut stripping.

​Just as well you are trolling behind your keyboard Adam as you might find the said tool massaging your prostate!

To quote AVE, "is it the tool or the tool behind the tool"

​it was probably the tool using it

if that happened I can assure you it wasnt the tools fault!!!

thanks op hot and ordered!!!!!

it will drop further if all cancelled their order :stuck_out_tongue:

Hmmm..... another tool.....must resist :wink:

Thanks, ordered one.

thanks OP. ordered one as I have been stuck a few times with various bolts and have been using heat to remove them as I dont have a garage to store a compressor and air tools. I didn't realise they do wired ones as I had only seen the battery powered ones that are a few hundred quid.

good price , ordered , thanks op

That's a cracking deal. Been waiting on one for ages. Thanks championadam!

I wouldn't use on wheel nuts if its anything like the almost identical Parkside one I bought. It stripped the threads (undoing) and I had to get new discs on the back and a new stud on the front.

I want one but I don't know why.....

You can't have been holding the gun straight then... not the equipments fault

Its out of stock, its expired but STILL showing in the top 10 deals...

14st = about 90kg = about 900N
900N *0.6 = 540Nm - so this tool probably would not have done the job.

well done looks like you got the last one. send it my way if you get bored of it!

I could have done [with one of these for my 1990 ducato motorhome that has stubborn nuts,[img]charts.camelcamelcamel.com/uk/…png?force=1&zero=0&w=725&h=440&desired=false&legend=1&ilt=1&tp=all&fo=0〈=en[/img]

I've missed it, Horlicks.

Have to say my experience of Silverline tools is that they're cheap for a reason.
They're OK if you're only likely to use them a few times, just don't expect them to last.

Well, I cracked and ordered one. I had better think of a plausible use for it.

doubt this would of done it at only 350 Nm
i used a jack to undo one before getting a battery type

nice bend in the breaker bar now lol

Max torque 350 Nm LOL
should of had your weetabix

mine does 950 Nm and rips the head straight off

Damn.. looks like i'm too late.

If your curious, your weight on a 600mm breaker bar would be around 525Nm.

Same torque as my Bosch 10.8v old style impact driver but has the panel on top to set the limit so ideal for smaller fittings. Worth a punt!

I will await the cancelled misprice email :disappointed:

You're not joking, I hope they ship this. I have the old impact driver and drill driver, this will go nicely with the kit for small bolts. I have extra batteries and several bosch tool bags after the screwfix deal so it will have a home, I expect the inlay for my spare lboxx will be under a tenner though.
Also ordered the Silverline for jobs on the car.

​if its within 14 days of delivery, you can legally return it for a full refund and buy at a lower price. so, in practise, its better for everyone that they refund the price difference to save the hassle

Amazing deal! Looks like the dogs danglies, bought 2 just because!

In my experience, they no longer do this. I don't think it was ever a published policy anyway.

Most cars I have had spec wheel nut torque at 120 ft/lbs which is more like 160 nm. That Bosch is more like my impact driver specs - for putting screws in wood and stuff like that.

ordered thanks ive got a makita 18 impact driver that i usually use with an adaptor but its not strong enough to undo tight bolts this will do nicely thanks

do they still do this ?

thought they changed the policy a while ago
