Looking to level up your toolkit? Say hello to
Now, we were recently sent one to test – and as we are automotive journalists, we came up with the perfect thing to test this on, our Mk II 16V VW Golf engine. We had to take this engine out of the car around eight and a half years ago, as the oil pump failed, causing the engine to seize, so this is one of our long term projects that we have in the Planetauto world, and our VW Golf has a new engine...sweet!
Join us as we put it through its paces.
First off, this isn’t your average impact wrench - it's powered by an efficient brushless motor that cranks out an ultra-high torque of 1800Nm. That’s enough raw power to tackle stubborn bolts, heavy-duty nuts, and just about anything else that stands in your way. It’s well built and durable, with exceptional resistance to wear and tear, so it should last you a goodly long time.
With it’s stepless control, you have precision speed control, making all tasks manageable, whether you are working on an engine or putting furniture together – and because its brushless, its quieter, cooler and more efficient.
This wrench comes in two colours—red or blue—and is available as a standalone tool, or with accessories:
Tool Only = £63.00 (RRP £74.00)
Tool + 2 Batteries (EU/UK/USA Plug) = £76.00 (RRP £89.00)
Tool + 2 Batteries + Plastic Box (EU/UK/USA Plug) = £82.00 (RRP £97.00)
More than just another tool, it’s a great go-to solution for a wide range of tasks, from changing tyres to tackling engine repairs, building decks, sheds, and furniture, tightening stubborn bolts and so many other things in between!
Do you have one of these, or something similar? It's the first one we've had, and it's been a lightbulb moment (as in, why on earth didn't we get one ages ago????) If you do have one, give us a quick run down on the best job it's done...we love a good success story.
Thank you all, and enjoy!
