	I'm after this sort of thing... www.google.co.uk/search?q=torque+wrench+battery+powered&rlz=1C1GGRV_enGB750GB750&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiYnpfl1sPZAhXMLFAKHep9CdMQ_AUICigB&biw=1108&bih=463 For swapping wheels at shows etc. I want to make sure it's strong enough to swap wheel bolts, decent battery life (enough for 32 bolt changes at least so i can recharge between shows etc) Also I guess they all have a torque setting so you don't overtighten? If not I'd want one with that feature unless it equals a much higher price. I've only ever used manual wrenches but as i'm going down the swap wheels on site route i want to do it as quick as possible. Cheers Phil F&M

	You mean impact wrench. I have a Kielder one, they are meant to be pretty good, I struggle with wheel nuts with it if they haven't been off for a while. It has ran for about 3 weeks on 2 batteries without charge at the most, in constant workshop use in a professional environment. One that will actually bust off really stubborn fitting is going to costly. They just are.

I'd use a manual wrench for stubborn age tightened nuts - this would be for tightening up to 140nM and loosening back from that on nuts freshly fitted.

Now I just need an advert to appear up the top of the board!!! admin... Feel free to close this now.

Back on topic my experience with wrenches is the same as Rich. The Kielder is good but it will always struggle with fixings tougher than correctly tightened wheel nuts. If I were buying one again the Makita D1002z would be at the top of the list. It's alot of gun for the money.
