Searching on ebay is really hard, (leccy impact guns)
Turbo Mini Forums

ive got a killer hangove, and trying to search in 'garage tools and equip." but it just searches in all catagories?

cant seem to narrow the search down?

anyone else finding this?

also, while im here does anyone know if those £100 leccy impact guns are any good, or should i save my pennies and buy a pukker one?

cheeers

I have found adding things NOT to search for easy.

For e.g. if you search for Peugeot Turbo, the vast majority of stuff is turbo diesel. If you then enter -diesel -TD -derv (the "dashes" being minus signs) it will omit all listings with the words you specified in the title. This helps to weed out the dross! Hope that helps.

yeah, i always search:

mini -moto -minimoto -pitbike etc to help cut down all the bollocks.

but it seems ebay has changed since i last looked, and you cant seem to search within just one catagory any longer? or is it me?

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

i've been told the leccy ones are shite to be fair.

but i've never used one. Also had people telling me cheap air ones are crap too. All depends a bit on what you want to use it for, i'm sure it would be ok for the odd wheel nut etc.

i just search from the main page, then select the catagory that i want after then. worked for me just now.

It depends what you buy I think. My mate has a Makita one, was over £450, but 6 years on and it is still good enough to undo driveshaft nuts etc.
I think when buying these if you buy cheap you definitely get cheap.

turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

yeah i know sumone who had a snap-on jobbie strapped it in the back of his rally car to change wheels...definatly not cheep tho but it could definaly be worth it if you think about it.
if my friend burst a tyre on stage and had to retire 'OT' or somthing that could waste a few hundred quid

Mate has an 18v Snap On 1/2" drive. It is very good.

In this instance, you need to spend a lot of money, to get one that really works.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

I bought a £50 jobby last season just to use for undoing the wheel nuts on the mighty mini, certainly saved a lot of time and effort! Very much doubt it'd be any good at undoing anything tighter than a wheel nut though.

although i got it from the wholesalers so it's probably the same as ebay £100 one.

just type in impact gun in the search thing theres not that many of them anyway.

all depends on what you wanna do, the 18v snap on one will undo most nuts on a car, brilliant but very expensive, if your only gonna use it now and again then a cheap one will prob be ok if you check the nuts/bolts afterwards but i know somebody that bought a cheap one and got a refund a week later cause it were poo

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

i think clarke got the best rated in minmag & practical classics or ppc, has quite a high torque rating for a leccy cheapo! 200+lbs i think not 100% though as i'm hung over


i use a +brace for my wheelnuts, fast & works!!!!

SKYLINES ARE LIKE CLITS, EVERY FLANGE SEEMS TO HAVE ONE: see this sticker on my silvia

the Search-section on this forum is blummin superb & simple to use, unlike some other forums, without the search-section & the help of this bunch of chaps on here i'll never be able to !!!Start the day with a 998cc turbo!!! :) i'm getting closer though!
