check this... its an electric wrench that plugs into the cigarette lighter.

EBAY LINK HERE.

anyone used these before? i think hot4s was offering these free with a 12 month perscription.

jase.

i dont know but i doubt it would be any good the info reads like a script straight from danoz direct

if it will do wheel nuts inc 4wd & light commercial it might be ok,but how long will that little cheap a$$ 12v motor last?if its not to exspensive might worth stashin one in the boot for emergencies.

I wouldn't get it, but that's because I have aftermarket rays wheel nuts which say no to impact wrenches.

i doubt that piece of **** could even turn open a bottle of beer

I have one and have checked it against a rattlegun using a rated torque bar at my tyre dealer. It is supposed to tighten wheel nuts to 250KN and did so against the rattlegun with the torque bar. It was able to repeat the process and probably could have stripped or broken the stud if we had kept going. It does not rattle, rather it winds up and then releases- three hits and the nut is off and three hits again and it is tight. I have not had to use it as I run Cooper tyres on my Cruiser and I've never had a puncture in them after 2 sets, which is about 200,000 km. But anyone who is strong enough to handle the spare could change a tyre with one. I paid $80 for mine at the NSW Caravan Show 2 years ago.

doesnt sound bad coming from a guy who owns one... but would you recommend it to others who were thinking bout buying it?

Yes I think they are OK. Why not ask to try one before you buy?

kinda hard to do that when im thinking of getting it off ebay..
