Impact Wrenches, Which One??

I've never tried any of them, which is a good start to answering your question

I use one of these with success. Well, not that particular model but a similar thing.

Other option.. air ratchet set

Perfect if I had an air line

air ratchets are nut spinners. NOT impact drivers for cracking things off at all. you'll just end up slamming your hand into the nearest hard thing

a breaker bar and copper and hide mallet is all you need in siuations like that, as often you won't get the impact driver in. apply the torque and give it a clout where you can. 60% of the time, it works everytime.

most battery impact drivers won't free things that a short breaker bar couldn't anyway

ETA - don't get me wrong, they have all sort of uses while working on a car, but aren't suited to taking caliper carriers off

I tried that Tom, I whacked and whacked and whacked and whacked to no avail

I feared an impact wrench wouldn't fit either, I still want one though

Maybe a good soaking, leave for a few days, soak again and have a go.

You need a bigger fekin bar.

Or Chuck Norris

I couldn't fit any any bigger in there due to the room available...

I wouldn't mind but I go to the gym 5 times a week
