And alloy wheels in contact with steel disc hub, always use a smear of copper grease.

Hi

I have the Snap-On cordless one... but its very expensive, I use it on the wheel nuts AFTER i have cracked them with a socket and bar, it would be strong enough to tighten them actually , but I like to FEEL the last tightening by hand so use my socket bar again....sometime I use my torque wrench if I am in no rush but again its Snap-On so drastically expensive..but you really do get a lifetime guarantee with their tools so you only ever buy them once...

The cordless impact wrench is around £400 from the van...

All the best Brett

I have had a snap on one for about 15 years and use it as a nut runner on large ones, and alway check by hand or wrtench afterwards.
NOT all snap tools have a life time garrantee, especially air or electric tools, unless they have changed it recently

I've got a Clarke one. It's really useful. Comes with a spare battery. I got it from machine mart. Although beware, going into a machine mart you'll end up wanting more tools you didn't know you needed! Really good price too. Can't remember how much off the top of my head.

On Personall experinace I would only ever use clark stuff to wedge the garage door open

You see I thought that was a recipe for disaster too. Steel nuts on alloy wheels?

I thought all alloy wheels had steel inserts that the nuts tighten against, therefore the standard Porsche aluminium nuts must surely oxidise - anyone experienced this?
