Impact Driver Set, 1/2" square drive. [Recommendations for new]

[Poignard]

I have recently smashed my impact driver. I think it was a Kamasa

All I did was hit it with a hammer and bits flew out of it. Perhaps I shouldn't have done that.

Can anyone recommend a replacement that can withstand the attentions of a frail little octegenarian?

My Hilka was purchased in 1972. Still in good working order.

Some Hilka stuff was Taiwanese, some Japanese.

Dont know about a replacement, they use air or electric impact tools now.

Amazon or ebay perhaps.

Halfords professional stuff is good and has a lifetime warranty- or at least used to.

That’s the one I use for screws

For undoing recalcitrant nuts I use one of these:

Sorry!

I didn't make it clear.

It's the type you whack with a hammer I want.

For hand tools you will find either Teng Tools or Bahco make real quality stuff. If you are feeling rich then Snapon. Sealey and Draper stuff is alright but not in the same league as above.

I’ve had Snapon stuff in the past but no more.

We have a Dewalt version; they are a fantastic piece of kit.

£561 for an impact screwdriver??????

Well, yes, that certainly does have some impact. I'd definitely feel screwed

In your eighties, that guarantee doesn't mean too much ?

 

[Poignard]

Perhaps I might negotiate a discount on that basis! ?
