    Report on this, have used it a few times over the last week. Removed my alloys on the 335d to touch up calipers, and replaced the rears discs, pads and a caliper on the girlfriends Cooper D.

    The torque is lacking, it puts out 440nm, which you think would be enough, but you have to bear in mind, an unfortunately so, more garages will torque nuts far past this!

    I think the torque spec for my car is in and around 110nm, and this will torque past this easily, I've tested it! But when I initially went to remove the bolts they would not budge with it. I had to get a breaker bar to take them off.

    For me, where I'm always tipping about on my car it's perfect, yes I wish there was a more torque, but genuinely that's only to overcome the ridiculous torque that someone else has incorrectly applied to a bolt.

    If I was purchasing again, I'm still in two minds whether I'd spring the extra £100 for a 950nm battery powered device.

    Its has made my life easier
