Clarke CIR13C 1/2" Impact Wrench Kit (12V)
Bought one of the above recently, as I was unable to get the front sprocket bolt of my wifes SV650. I had tried to do it with a 20” torque wrench, but it just wouldn’t budge.
A few second was all it took with this 12v impact wrench. I don't know how robust it would be for heavy/prolonged use, but for this job it was fab. Highly recommended.  Mark |

I've got something similar that I bought from Aldi. Well worth having. I think I only paid about £15 for it.

You tried to undo a hard to undo nut with a torque wrench? They are not designed for that.
A 24 inch breaker bar will crack most nuts. |

Quickest way to ruin a torque wrench is using it as a breaker bar - oops! Looks like you need to save up for a new torque wrench.

The torque wrench is good for 230nm the sprocket nut is set to 145nm, so I don't think it would have damaged it! |

Breaker bars are for cracking nuts (or that impact wrench you bought). |

I got one of those little impact wrenches to get seized damper rod bolts out of my old bike forks. Worked a treat
