Portable Rattle Gun' ??

Struth GB, 265Nm of torque. You'd want to be watching the wheel studs with it on it's strongest settings.

Forgot to say after two hits use a torque wrench to get exact setting

I use the same beast but only one hit when doing up.

Yep, I use a torqstik in conjunction with my 18v Makita impact wrench. I used to have a Shentai (same as KC Easy wrench) and they are great too; just that you have to muck around with a 12v cable, so for me the cordless Makita is the way to go.

I have a number of other tools that are also Makita 18v and have 5 x 3amp batteries, so there's always a fresh battery available.

TIP: these battery operated tools are MUCH cheaper if you buy them from the USA by mail order or off US ebay.

This is the style of unit I would get, being a drill as well can come in handy and for home use?? They are smaller and lighter than the dedicated impact wrenches like the KCI .

Panasonic are pretty pricey but exellent quality, you might find a cheaper alternative of the same setup

I've got one of these Dewalt Impact driver
It runs up to 150nm, has hex quarter drive, you can get drill bits and socket drivers to suit, very small and compact.
For the hard to undo stuff I've got one of these Dewalt 1/2" impact
with over 400nm it works well, the same battery for both tools and the recipro saw with 12" blade for cutting firewood.

Yep, thats how I got mine a few years ago, best value ever.

Is the KCI easy wrench adjustable?

yes, It has 4 different size sockets plus an extension.

Dodger, they have only one force in reverse and forward.
The sockets as supplied are rubbish so if you get one get a good quality impact socket the size of your wheel nuts and you will not regret it.

Cheers, Bruce.

The sons and us all have one of these (KCI Easy Impact Wrench). The standard cables that come with it enables it to reach all four wheels, and the spare, on the Toyota. You could get an extension cable if needed from any car 12V accessories place.

hi all
i know this is a late inclusion but just found
magstore.com.au have a kci ezy wrench for special price $75.00
no connections with the company just relating cheaper price freight is plus and is calculated by system to yr address
cheers

Bought a similar one at Repco for the same price, put an Anderson plug on it and made up an extension lead.

I stripped it down and found it was well made, I just added some grease to the gears. It is identical to the KC impact driver in looks anyway.
