The ryobi one+ is a good impact wrench. Cordless means more versatile
Grab 3 high drain 18650's like some Samsung 25R's or a 3 cell li-po.

Hardly the kind of thing that the average user can gather together, safely charge and use.
Also, your comment is really in the wrong place in the thread.
not for main power?
Does not seem so
The Ozito Impact Wrench is ideal for the removal and fastening of car wheel nuts. With the included kit box, it can be neatly stored in the car boot so you will always have the tool on hand when you need it the most. It is also suited to other applications where high tensile, heavy duty bolts and nuts are used.
With a Car 12V DC socket adaptor and 12V Battery adaptor, connecting the tool to power is a simple and easy process. The battery clamps enable the impact wrench to be powered directly from the car battery when a 12V DC socket is not available.
The 4 included sockets suit the most commonly used wheel nuts, making this kit ready for use straight from the box.12V DC
260Nm torque
4 Drive sockets

12V battery adaptorChanges flat tyre, ends up with flat battery
Bring an air-powered battery charger
And if it can really do 260Nm, broken or stripped wheel studs/nuts if you are not careful.
That's when Eneloop collection comes into play.
- 2 10 amp fuses. The sockets are 17,19,21 and 23 mm. There is no torque adjustment tho, just forward and reverse, but they are normal 6 point /12" drive sockets.
no
No mains power . You just need to carry a car battery around with you. ; )
You just need to carry a car battery around with you
For use on cars. You don't need to carry a battery because the car is already carrying a battery.
I wish I got flat tyres more often so I could justify this.
…im buying it for no other reason than to piss off the neighbours with the noise :P
Air operated does that better….especially when the compressor kicks in too
Mr fox, it's just $10, man. Come on! Where's your OzBargain soul, dude? :)
Oh Daddy.. hes got the true ozbargain spirit. its $10!
Touche! lol
what's your address?
I wish I knew what an impact wrench was or what one might be used for. Re-inflating flat tyres perhaps?
i got one of these works ok
just keep in mind it doesnt operate like a traditional impact gun
it basically takes an internal run up before engaging and slamming the bolt/nutThis is an important point ^^!
Can potentially strip a bolt if the sockets is not correctly placed over the head. The slamming action is quite brutal.
*speaking from experience.
"The slamming action is quite brutal" How long where you in jail for?
The manual also warns you to pre-tighten the nuts before tightening. I'd be more inclined to use the wheel brace to tighten, and this to take them off given the lack of torque adjustment.
So if i got this for the missus, there is a high chance she is going to thread the (profanity) out of the nuts….
Just advise her to wind them with her fingers until they are quite snug, alternating across as they get snug, then give them a little nip.
The slamming action is quite brutal.
Thats what she said.
Where the heck is this convo going.
At this rate these would be worth it even if it was just for the socket attachements lol. Good find OP
260Nm is not bad from 12v.. must draw a few amps!
Haha yeah, change you wheel and find out your battery is flat!
Haha might as well be sponsored by RACV
ah is that all :/ I will stick to my air powered rattle gun.
Nah, it just winds up a flywheel and then drops the clutch.
It doesnt "rattle" like normal gun, more vvrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-clang
Nothing a PC power supply couldn't handle
80W at 12V is 6.67A. Not much trouble for a car battery.
Wouldn't mind taking this out for a spin!
Nice price! Cheap enough to bolt 4 or 5 of them together in a jig to do all nuts simultaneously :) Even cheaper for those odd folks out there with vintage Renaults and their 3-stud wheels ;)
Shut up and take my money!
change tyres like a F1 team
Id buy it only for the impact sockets
This^^^ the four impact resistant sockets are worth $10
I'm wondering whether anyone managed to get it. I was told that the deal isn't active yet
Bought 2 from Hoppers Crossing in Melbourne. They were in a weird little clearance ozito section. Had a 12v air compressor for $25 too.
Just grabbed on from Marion - two left under the shelf…
Finally managed to get one from Port Melbourne. Thanks OP.
For the price… should I buy one even though I don't know how to change car tires? (never needed to)
cmon its pretty simple…its not a bargain unless you need it or can use it. youre just hoarding otherwise…
racv or substitute state. doesn't matter about wait.
I don't see who this is supposed to appeal to. If you need it often then you'll buy something better. If you don't need it often then you're probably better just using the tyre iron in the car toolkit.
They suck and cause injurys when people resort to bad lift technique or stomping on it or cracking nuts while car on emergency jack.
Its $10, has no stupid battery so it will still work in 2 years when needed, will crack a stuck nut.
Its for roadside flat tyre use not garage use.fair points…could be handy if you couldnt get the nuts off manually roadside with a wheelbrace. may consider now…
You can always get the nuts off manually
You can always get the nuts off manually
Unfortunately, like many guys I have needed to resort to that many times.
Or you could buy a 2 ft breaker bar and it will still be working in 100 years.
Yeah but $30 plus more for socket.
And thats el-cheapo quality which may not hold up for long (through certainly at least as reliable as the gun).
At $10 with 2 year warranty and free impact rated sockets its still ahead.
Just grabbed one for $10 at Bunnings Balcatta WA
Honestly avoid this and buy a dependable breaker bar. I have a 50cm bar and it will crack anything. If your nuts are to tight, this tool will not undo them.
Breaker bars also double as defender weapon.
If your nuts are to tight, this tool will not undo them.
That's what a GF is for!
THanks OP! Bought one.
instore?
I have this and have used it several times, not only to crack wheel nuts that have been on too long and are a bit rusty or were tightened with some kind of Mjölnir wrench at the tyre shop, but also to remove rusted on brake rotor nuts, a very stuck ride on mower blade, and a go kart rear crash bar that refused to budge with normal tools. I had a 70cm metre breaker bar on a wheel nut and it wouldn't budge. This little impact wrench has removed everything I've thrown at it. For the ones that took longer (some took maybe 20-30 hits from the wrench but they eventually gave in), I made sure I was running the engine to stop a flat battery. It doesn't operate like a proper rattle gun - it takes a big run up and then bang, it hits the hut, then runs up again, etc. I have never used it to put a nut back on as you can't control the torque. For $10, this is a must have.
Isn't the torque be just right (fit for purpose) to put the nuts back on vs doing it by hands which may over-tighten your nuts?
You can't adjust the torque so it's 260Nm or nothing. I think most wheel nuts should be done to about 100-120Nm?
Glad to know. Thanks.
For 10 bucks why not. Better than having nothing when the time comes.
Just picked one up from my local store. Thx Op. With this power tool, it'll be less of a pain to do my own tyre rotation. Cheerios!
@pork chop I also bought it for the same purpose. What is the interval that you usually rotate the tyres? Thanks
I do it every 10K. It'll now take a fraction of the time to get all 4 rotated - Front <—-> Back
Thanks. Hopefully I will make use of it.
Can you buy online and click and collect? i can add the item to wish list but not checkout?
Got the last one from Morley WA. Need one due to tyre-monkeys over-torquing my wheel nuts.
Use these only to remove nuts, never to replace them!
Got 3 of them one for me and 2 for presents.. There going straight back tomorrow!! You have to undo the bolt before it can do anything!
What are you trying to undo?
Which branch are you returning them to?
Good for women, amputees etc
You're a brave man putting women in the same category as amputees :).
Women who are amputees? To be honest amputees probably can work around their impairment
It works fine for me. Take a few seconds to get up to speed, then BANG- it hits the nut.
After a few hits, the nut starts to move. Then it is quicker to use the wheel-brace to finish the job.I just need to loosen all my nuts with this tool, then hand-tighten with the wheelbrace. Last time I had to change a wheel, it needed a ten-foot steel pole to lever it.
Thanks lyl.
Ten foot!? Are you driving a giant mining tipper truck?
OK, I think it was actually a six-foot pole slid over one arm of the wheel brace.
Still needed a lot of weight. I was amazed that the wheel-brace did not snap in the middle.
How come Bunnings doesn't have Click and Collect, or online buying for that matter? Even if you wanna know that a product is available at a specific store, the site suggests that you should call the store. Come on, now! It's almost 2017 so get on with the times, Bunnings!
10 left at modbury, have to ask staff to pull them down from capping.
Very happy with the quality, used to work in engineering and these are on par with $70/trade price ones we were buying in for the staff.
For doing the odd job around the home (tek screws etc) and for wheels on a car not bad at all.
Thanks. Got one. When the guy at Bunnings saw the price he said that he will get one too
same with the girl who served me, she has no interest in powertools, just figured be a good idea in case she has to change a tyre lol.
Brought 3 from villawood. Sales lady was shocked at the price. Thx
Oxley store have 3 left. rhs of tool section waist hight wall shelf. Not with power tools.
thanks op. one Christmas stocking fixed.
Good luck trying to find one on the shelves at your local store.
Just a FYI, the wrench was in the automotive section of the 'tool shop' part of our local Bunnings (Bundamba Q) - not with the other impact wrenches in the power tools area.
There were supposed to be a few but could only see the one I purchased on display.Have zero need to buy one - will buy one anyway!
I taped a cigarette lighter female plug on my drill charger ($1.50 from EBay), soldered up to positive / negative charging terminals (from inside), drilled 2 holes for wires to come out. Then simply place drill battery in charger dock and plug in any 12v device like this into lighter socket and they become portable. Now it doesn't rely on your car in any way, and you can use it away from your car. Obviously it doesn't impact on the charger in anyway either.
In my case the 240v plug disconnects from the charger. If not I guess you just wrap it around.*I use an 18v drill. Airbed tool spins up Uber quick, but is fine. No idea how this would go above 12v, but a running car can be around high 13 volts, so 14.4v drill should be no problem.
I just added a 5.5mm DC socket in some spare space inside a 12V battery.
That was NiCd. If modding a Li-Ion, use safety glasses and be very careful not to drill into a cell :)I have a gadget to put a lighter socket on 18V powertool batteries. Many car gadgets such as USB chargers are actually rated at 12-24V input.
All this sounds great, but if all this thing does is a take stuck nuts off where are you going to use it either away from a power point (where for 2 bucks you can buy a 240v DC cigarette lighter adapter) or an actual car with a battery?
Just trying to find a real use case for this thing
Huh??? It is for cars. But as said above, you could use it with a good 12V powertool battery.
@manic: i mean the use case for having the battery, you are always going to be in your car when you need to undo a wheel nut and what are the odds of having a flat battery while needing to change a tyre?

I got excited for a moment then remembered I have a cordless Ryobi one - with more torque.
Good find for those who don't have an impact already - they rock!
