Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Einhell Professional Cordless Impact Wrench 450 Nm sits at number one in this guide. It is an 18V brushless impact wrench in the Einhell Power X-Change family, listed at £114.98 and rated 4.6 out of 5 from 2,637 ratings.
Two things in that listing are worth reading twice. The name and the first bullet say 450 Nm, and the same bullet tells you what that figure is for: "simple loosing of nuts and bolts". The spec table on the same page then gives two torque lines — "Maximum Torque: 450 Newton Meters" and "Torque: 400 Newton Meters". The bullets also say "IMPACT WRENCH ONLY": the £114.98 buys the tool body plus three sockets, a bit adapter and a belt clip, and an 18V battery and charger are sold separately. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we have carried out.
