You'll find great reviews on it and they come with spare bushes. Only downside is it's very noisey lol but who cares, gets the job done!

Never let me down, i use it for quite a few tasks, but usually months inbetween me using it and its always good.
Won't undo really tough bolts, i still slacken my wheel bolts by hand first. I find it great for undoing the inner cv bolts, i stick about 1m of extensions on it so don't need to get under the car.
Also good if a bolt is rounded, i just stick the irwin extractors on it and it gets them out. I probably use it more for awkward things than undoing tight stuff.
I had the Sealey CP2450 before this clarke. Turned out to replace the battery on it cost more than getting a new unit :lol: which i think is the case with most of these.

Mine was used, they do about £250 for the 1/2 and £150-200 for the 3/8
add "snap on and mac tools for sale" on facebook, some cracking deals on there
Bet 75% of the stuff is hot
That's probably a conservative estimate :lol:

What's everyone using? Need one for occasional use so no need for Snap On or anything that fancy but at the same time I don't want it to let me down when I'm using it.
Any recommendations?
