I'm guilty of having 3x 1/2" impact guns and truth be told, I really want another, a compact model for when working on suspension in wheel arches.
We have Milwakee or however you spell it, 1/2" battery guns supplied by the firm for removing wheels etc, but I don't like using them for anything other than wheels, too bulky and heavy.

450nm is pretty decent for something that compact but I reckon it would struggle on seized/loctite fasteners on some bigger 4x4s etc
Eric O at SMA uses an Astro branded version and he likes it, but sometimes has to crack the odd bolt loose first
TBS Aachen are pretty good on prices though if you like European brand tools!!

I only found out about them from some American mechanics who use them to ship tools from the EU to the USA, they hesitate to buy American tools anymore as it's becoming unclear where they are made anymore. Yanks buying quality German tools to stop $$$ going to China!!! I just don't understand the UK, we were really gòod at this stuff 50 years ago |

Price looks ok to me, certainly compact, but I’ve got too many tools already (2 brimmed rollcabs at work & 1 1/2 at home) looks good though, may be tempted in a moment of alcohol fuelled weakness (happened before) 😂 |
