Lidl cordless rattle gun.

Some time ago when looking in the centre of Lidl on a DIY day, I saw a cordless impact driver. Used the same 18v battery as the drill, jigsaw and circular saw I'd already got, so bought one. It's only the size of a cordless drill. (I don't have a garage, so air tools out of the question)
Gave it a try on the crank pulley bolt on my RV8 which can be a pain especially as my car is an auto, and after a couple on minutes of screaming away, it came off. It is only a crude device with no torque settings, but in this case worth every penny of the low cost.
Instructions say the peak torque is 180 nm.
Never ceases to amaze me how such things have been invented in my lifetime. I can remember the grief I had undoing a crank pulley fixing first time I did it - many years ago - on another engine, likely a BMC B series.
