Same unit from same place that I've been using for a year and quite
satisfied. Once the battery gets a little low it does not break the nuts
loose without a lot of "hammering" so I usually break them manually. I used
to subscribe to the "spin the 4 way wrench" technique but this really is
easier. Also less chance of the spinning wrench coming off the nut and
hitting the wheel.
While I was searching for the link to the tool shack you posted this note
and I find it interesting that the price from the same place that I had was
a "sale" of 186.99. Use Etgar's link if you want to get the better price. I
wonder about these Internet store pricing policies.
