It is fully charged reading over 27v 
The seller said he couldn't hold it like that (must be lieing or weak) and the torque machine said 325lb/f they don't usually give the exact torque, usually around that number, so now i'm thinking they have screwed up and not admitting it ^^^as there is the proof.

I've never had any problems with my Ingersol rand impact gun.
With these things you get what you pay for.

Interesting, the guy said he personally checked it as well, must be talking shite then, I'm just going to get a brand new one instead, I think they have reconned them with scaletrix motors.

OK, my new one turned up and I put on a sealey impact socket to make sure, I could hold the socket with my hand again but this time a bit more difficult, so tried it on a wheel, I got 2 off after a while then it broke like the shaft has snapped or something as the motor turns but the drive doesn't seem to turn at the same speed and has a delay and the impact hammers are fucked too.
AFTER 2 WHEEL BOLTS!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not buying these shiters ever again.

wheel bolt  they are only meant to be tightened to 90nm
if it can remove a hub nut at 295nm then il be impressed
i think all electric ones are wank tbh, the best ones are air powered

I've used them loads of times though its just these sealey cp2400's don't like me.
What torque is a decent amount? I need to do suspension bolts as well, it wasn't just for wheels.

most bolts on the car will be under 150nm
as said though hubnuts are one of the tightest at 290nm

I think they are sold as 325lb/f ones as people like me would go "oooh got to get that more torque than expensive ones" but they are still wank.

This looks exactly the same with clarke on it, same torque too.
