Draper CIW24

Best price: £148.48 | Battery: 24V NiCad

If you want an impact wrench primarily for changing wheels, this is the one. It had a little more trouble loosening our test bolt at its maximum, but it did it and at around half the price of our top two. And you get a side handle, plus four impact sockets in common wheel bolt sizes. Draper hasn’t skimped on batteries – as with the other kits here, you get two. But this is the heaviest tool on test, with a lot of nose weight, so it’s hard work over long periods.
