Sealey Cp1203 Impact Driver 12V 1/4In Hex Drive 80Nm - Body Only

Found this had plenty of power for smaller bolts and easily put a 6 inch size 12 screw through a fence panel end into a post with no pilot holes. Unfortunately the bit holder failed the second time I used it .I liked the balance and weight of this tool so much that I decided to order a 3/8 drive to go with my rachet.I had no problems returning this product and have been issued a full refund .Judging by the quality of the sealy ratchet I have . think I was just a bit unlucky with this one .

Already had a Sealey cordless ratchet with batteries and charger so plumbed to start buying the Sealey line of cordless tools. So far I'm impressed, seem well made and the price of the bare units are very competitive. Can't find any aftermarket cheaper batteries though, eBay seems to be the best place to buy the batteries, I haven't seen them any cheaper elsewhere.

I purchased the Sealey CP1203 outside of Amazon, but post here as there aren't currently any reviews (please keep this in mind when I talk about quality as mine is used, and second hand).It's a great little tool, and one that I'd highly recommend getting -- even for the home mechanic or D.I.Y enthusiast. I've only used it a couple of times in the short space of time that I've owned it, but it immediately became obvious how much it can speed up even the simplest of jobs. I've gone with using this and keeping a set of 1/4 drive bits handy to swap out for the job at hand. Saves time fiddling about with allen key sets etc. Makes locating bolts into their thread so must faster -- providing that their lined up straight and you don't round them out.The trigger is nice, and pressed with varying force is easy to control (there aren't any speed modes, but its not just full on or full off). Build quality is as expected. The trigger on mine (again note used) does need to be pushed in all the way for it to work, so may be a sign that after some use the little directional switch can ware down. Sound it emits reminds me of a drill.I prefer this over the Sealey 3/8 CP1202 as this seems to have far more loosening power which speeds up jobs and saves time. Think I'll probably stick to using this for day to day jobs, and use various other tools I have when more power is required. So, yes, I'd get this over the CP1202 any day.The limit factor of this tool would probably be space. On cars I can imagine in places like the engine bay it may not work so great, but on motorbikes with many open spaces this is perfect.Eventually you'll probably need 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 imapct drivers (or ratchets etc) if you spanner enough, but on the cheap you could get this CP1203KIT and then get a 1/2 breaker bar for anything bigger if you're tight on cash but still need to do jobs. These tools often come up on Amazon Marketplace either individually or as kits (be sure to read description as sometimes their missing chargers etc) so be sure to keep an eye out daily for those if you aren't in a rush (just search Sealey as opposed to specific items).Happy with the tool, a lot more than the CP1202 that I paid a lot more for.
