Ahh yeh..it's Tool time baby!!

The new Durofix 18V Impact Wrench / Driver is a unique and powerful tool which is like no other in terms of price, power, capability and versatility. At only 1.3Kg and very compact it is an easy tool to work with yet packs upto 190Nm of torque and the tool is powered by Sony Li-ion batteries, considered by many to be the best in Li-ion battery technology. The tool is accompanied by adaptors that allow it to be used as an impact driver ( so making it the most powerful 18V impact driver around ) and that allow it to be used with 3/8" sockets as well as the 1/2" sockets. As well as the adaptors the tool is accompanied with an LED light bar which provides super bright white light to any place you may work and spare brushes and some screw bits. The tool is beautifully presented in a small, hard durable carry case. There is no other impact driver or wrench that represents as much value or capability as this tool and it sets the standard for others to follow. Durofix is fast becoming 'The Compact Li-ion Solution' for tradesmen.

My brother is in the building trade and also uses Makita stuff, and fair doos I'm sure its mega but I bought this just to change some wheels etc at Sprints so thought it was worth the gamble at the price it is.

Sems to get good reviews online etc so we'll see how it goes, probably more than good enough for what I need it for!

To be honest, I couldn't warrant the difference in money a couple of years ago and as I don't datalogue my pit stops, I decided to spend the extra

would be interested in knowing how you get on with it as its a bargin price. will it break off wheel nuts? I spent ages reading up on different ones but have a soft spot for makita Li gear as they are the best in my trade at the moment.

The Rolson one has done the honours for me over the last two or three years. Also used it when breaking the GTR and Betty.
