If you need a half-inch impact wrench at an affordable price for your home workshop or garage, yet don’t need or want the added expense and weight of a battery-powered version, Machine Mart have a great offering that’s also a best-seller on their website which is highly rated by buyers.
It’s called the Clarke CEW1000 1/2in Drive 450Nm Impact Wrench (230V), costs just £87.59 and is available from Machine Mart both in-store and online.
A big part of the CEW1000’s popularity is due to its robust, straightforward and simple design.
It comes in its own rugged plastic carry case so can neatly and easily be stored or taken to jobs; has reverse and forward drives, delivers an impressive 450Nm of torque from its 1000 Watt, 230V motor, has a maximum ‘No load’ speed of 2200rpm and ‘’no load’ impact rate of 3400ipm and will drive bolts up to a maximum size of M14.
The CEW1000 also comes complete with four drive sockets in sizes 17mm, 19mm, 21mm and 22mm which also click into place in the carry case so that, once plugged in, you’re good to go!
The result is Machine Mart’s best-selling impact wrench and has also received well over 100 glowing reviews, so you don’t have to just take our word for it.
“This was a nice surprise, got the lug nuts off my van tyre without any problems, saved me a lot of bother. If you’re after something to change your car or van tyres go for this... it came with the correct size sockets, and you can plug it into the mains supply. I know batteries are always what people go for, but for an at home repair, this just says ‘no’ to stubborn lug nuts... Machine Mart saves the day again,” said Daniel.
While Ian added: “After struggling for hours to remove a 36mm, and a 32mm nut from a UTV clutch I gave up and ordered an impact wrench from Machine Mart which did the job in about two minutes!”
