Right folks, this was a fooking bargain at £23 from machine mart. It's the clarke CIR13C. There were other ones around that more or slighly less but were shitty makes such as cosmic etc. According to the Auto express reviews it was the best bang for your buck but that was the 120ft/lb version, this updated version is 250 ft/lb.
The bloke at the shop said it would be no good for rusted bolts as it's only 20 quid and 12v, and you need one that cost £300+ for those... what a load of bollocks.
I was having problems with the strut top mounts as we all know they are a crap design. A few seconds with this and they were off as you can see below. Don't let the plastic contruction fool you it's a very powerful tool indeed.

Just look at some of the bolts and nuts it got off, i couldn't believe it, even the throughly rusted ones, and the big one... the hub bolt, took it off without breaking a sweat!! All from a 12v £20 tool it was awsome.

In conclusion i recommend you buy one as it's a bargain and you won't pull your hair out with rusty stuck shit again!!!  |
