Advice needed on this impact wrench

[visedog]

Please advise whether this made in England 1/2" drive, 740 N-m (546 ft lb) wrench is any good:

Thanks.

I'd look for higher output from a full size impact.

I wish I could help you out but you made me check out the company:

Seems ok I guess

For my two cents look into IR air tools if you want a company that has been around for some time.

IR tools are priced much higher here. Chicago Pneumatics is another option (1/2", 900 N-m) but costs twice this one.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know it was made in Taiwan. I guess it is scrap then.

Taiwan is not necessarily bad. Better than Chinese. Torque ratings for impacts are notoriously subjective. Jus' sayin".

Some taiwan air tools are top notch but expect you can do better than that one linked.

That probably cost more. You pays your money and you takes your chances.

Thanks for all the responses. Instead of the one above, I have ordered this wrench (1/2", 850 N-m torque) from Indian company Everest:
