I’ve seen a couple marketed by Machine Mart. 1) Clarke CIR18LIC 450Nm, £137.99. 2) Draper Stormforce CIW20LISF £155.98.
Some of the reviews on these cheaper wrenches seem to indicate that they are not up to the job and as I will probably be using said wrench on the likes of hub nuts and crankshaft pulley nuts instead of a breaker bar & scaffolding pole etc. I don’t want to waste my money on something which will not do the job.
Observations/advice/comments please.
I would save your money and stick to your old methods , these power guns are responsible for all the rusty wheel bolts you see on volvos too ...
