Tim Member 142 Member For: 16y 10m 6d Posted 05/06/10 12:31 PM Share Posted 05/06/10 12:31 PM I have the Hitachi http://www.hitachi-powertools.com.au/productdetails.aspx?Product=WR18DL(HD)does a pretty good job. Thou it wouldnt undo the wheels the other weekend, Not sure how tight they were done up from the tyre place. Also wouldnt undo the brake caliper. Unsure on battery charge. Possibly half charged. Has done other cars easily. Once the bolts were cracked with the breaker bar its handy to get the wheels nuts done quickly. Also usefull for getting the scissor lift up and down real quick.

Battery lasts really well and gets nuts undone that we couldn't get with a 400mm breaker bar. Not cheap but I'd highly recommend one.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68605-cordless-wrench/#findComment-1013790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replaced it with a hitachi 14v unit that has been going strongfor over 5 years of trade use, the big surprise for me was how good the $150 Ozito (yes from bunnings...!) 18v lithiumunits are. They will do wheel nuts, caliper bolts and I even used it to remove all bellhousing, clutch pressure plate AND flywheel bolts when swapping gearboxes in my car! For home use I would probably go for that! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68605-cordless-wrench/#findComment-1013798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
