sorted byYou shouldn't rely on this to accurately torque bolts up to a set figure instead you should use a torque wrench. The figures quoted here are more for telling you what torque this can go to to undo bolts etc (edited)
Obviously It's not just wheels. Though, as most people now take their car to the dealer to change a pair of wiper blades, I can see where the misunderstanding occurs.
Rest of the car essentials

Cracked off two of the front wheels on my Octavia with the 400nm setting. Did have to persevere for a little while, and I've never had the wheels off the car
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like it's essentially a clone of the 20v draper stormforce?
Draper (edited)
Poor old Newton, being denied his capital letter in Nms!
I've really always considered these things were intended for undoing rather than fastening. When ever I have used one for car wheels, when it came to putting them back on I only ever gave them a few quick blips with this to get them on their way then did the actually tightening by hand.
Some of us, who know our ways around cars/bikes/trucks actually like this kind of thing, some even create extra space just to store these types of goodies.
Yh only 3 in Wishaw store were I am well 2 now
Alright, you’re wrong.

Same tool different colour, draper one is more expensive around £66 for just tool body can be modified to use parkside batteries
Parkside one is cheaper comes with a case, battery, charger, a few sockets
Lidl app shows Thursday 26th of September
thankfully my neighbour had a Mac gun which undid the tightened wheel bolts.
Edit - i see the new corded version is now at 500nM! (edited)
With a calibrated torque wrench.
Unless it's your job and you're self employed I struggle to understand why anyone would want tools like this taking up space for the 99.9% of the year they don't need it
I get having a torque driver for screwing screws and bolts for DIY but agree, I can't see much use for a vehicle socketed version... how often are people changing wheels?!
I'm sure these things just encourage people to screw in the bolts so tight they never come out, or snap and as for using a torque meter to check, well if the likes of Kwikfit can't be arsed I doubt Job public will (edited)
Where as I and a lot of my friends have been building and modifying cars and bikes for the last 20 years and have used/needed one countless times. Thankfully I have access to borrow a good one.
Impact drivers work but a ¼” hex shank isn’t that strong you’re asking for it to break and it will push a driver to hit maximum performance, the ½” square is so much stronger and removes the wobble and flex you get with adapters. It is one of those “it will work but you shouldn’t if you can” situations.
If you do anything more than pads once every 2 years then these are invaluable for automotive maintenance, all suspension take 1/8 of the time and effort with a proper impact.
Body only would be nice but I know why they have done it as a kit as using the smaller 2AH batters with the single layer of cells are not best suited to their current draw.
I think one person on here said they have one although afaik its never been sold in the UK before so you might be better off with looking at youtube.
I want both
AHH noo, can't get there until after work just hope my shop has one left for me!
Considering the batteries are readily available sperately in most of the stores 4ah and 2ah .. I do wonder why they've started. Although with the frequency that they offer these tools nowadays they've perhaps downsized the number they buy in. They did have the push on the performance tools a while ago which seemed to be a wet squib. Yeah in Germany you can buy on line which is handy
Doubtful they've never been on sale in the uk before. Corded/air will always win on power. But if you don't have 240v where you're working, it's going to be a long day. I have the cordless angle grinder, convenient but if i need to grind the beejesus out of something i get the corded out
Will be interesting to see how it does on nuts that have not been loosened for a while...
Even just for the convienvnce when taking wheels off it's worth £60 to me.
Yep, I've got an old scrapper in my yard that's pretty rusty, set torque to 300 and the wheel nuts whizzed off in 2 seconds. This will be really helpful when I'm refreshing suspension components
Mines has the same hole and the picture on the website confirms this I thought it might have had a small metal indented ball, similar to ratchets, but ours are as they are supposed to be. (edited)
