lol, I actually bought her a kid's hammer, about the size of a biro, wasn't impressed...

The biggest problem is your statement, "I haven't got a lot of money to spend.." The only way to get a good quality impact gun is to pay for one. BEst value on the market IMHO is the Sumake 1,000ft/lb 1/2". I sold bucket loads of these when I worked for Sulco. Best of the 1/2" guns out there. For CV joints you may need a 3/4" as many of these nuts are frozen and no 1/2" gun will shift them.

I can get guns, or anything else they sell, from Sulco and offer at a better price than you'll get anywhere else. The Sumake is the most powerful 1/2" gun on the market with a RRP of $569.25. I can do it for $483.65. Not a cheap gun but you've already got one of those...

You need a minimum 90 psi but as important as pressure is, so is flow and the gruntier the air-tool the more air it sucks and I'd recommend a minimum 50lt tank.

Now your talking.
Big air lines and big tank required to run those things.
Need to spend a little money on them to get something half decent.

Yup! One thing people forget about are the fittings. 1/4 BSP connectors are restrictive and when I finished at Sulco we were recommending changing them to high-flow; even with 1/2" lines they made a big enough difference to allow the guns to operate properly.

Air-ratchets are probably the hungriest for flow. DO NOT USE THEM AS CONVENTIONAL WRENCHES! I had to repair or replace so many 3/8" ratchets as the guys would heave on them to crack a stubborn nut that the ratchet wouldn't shift!

Time for a whip round then! Dig deep guys

Get her one of those pink sets and she'll kill you with it!

Just adjusted that to fit in with my reality a bit better, bless her she wouldn't even know what it was. Had to explain the other day what a wrench was. I shit you not. Asked her to get me a 12" adjustable wrench from M10 and she made me get a picture off Google...

She's English mate (like me), until I came to NZ I thought a cresent was something to do with the moon. We only call em spanners, funny how Kiwis have 3 words for the same thing.

My mate who has just gone back to darby after being here for a couple of years calls them shifting spanners. I was wondering what the fuck he was talking about,when he wanted one, I was thinking why would anyone need a spanner for moving house.

Do you mean Derby? I come from near there, although as a Notts Forest fan the mere mention of the word Derby sends me into a murderous rage.

Never heard of shifting spanners (you gotta watch those Derby folk, odd bunch)
