When I needed to replace a broken rear coil spring for the MOT, I couldn't shift the bottom damper bolt. So I looked online and found this. It is a Milwaukie Fuel M18 onefhiwf34.
There are 4 settings on it. Fastening torque is 800 to 1800. Unfastening torque is 850 to 2400 Nearly five hundred of your Inglish squids, but it got the bolt out with ease If any forum members nearby need a bit of help, PM me Posted without piccies

I've got a Ryobi one which I'm impressed with for wheel nuts etc. I'm sure it wouldn't touch a crank bolt tho.... |

A long breaker bar and a good grunt got mine out!

I tried that. Not enough room for anything long. Also it was just as stiff all the way through unfastening until it was almost out. Then it was a nightmare screwing it back in. I'm sure it reached the recommended torque with about half the bolt still to go

Before I retired my engineers got me to buy them one of these. Came from the local tool Van not snap on. From memory it put out torque up to over 1000 lb ft. I personally use a Ryobi one it is good for 340 lb ft fine for wheel nuts and caravan jacks. Just Friday there I had taken the van away for the daughter. As I was setting up there was a man trying to brake his wrists using a battery drill to wind down his van jacks. I went over and gave him my impact gun he was so impressed that he went online and purchased one there and then.
These guns are great but some are extremely powerful and able to sheer very big bolts with little effort. Love your choice Alan Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Always best to run a tap down the threads to clean out all the crud first!

Yep, I got one out with a cheap mains powered rattle gun, but it picked up all the way and damaged the thread. Ran a tap down it and all was fine.
The next one I did had the end bit of exposed thread cleaned up before removal. |
