    Hello all. I'm looking into buying one of these under $100. I want it to be cordless because I don't have the air pressure machines. How much of a torque power do I need and any recommendations?

    anything above a 14.4 should do just fine. You can get an air compressor for about $200 and sometimes comes with a few tools like an impact gun, air ratchet and such. I think you may have to get the hoses separetly.

    Do you know any good one or recommend one? 200 is too much.

    auotzone, kragen, home depot, lowes usually have some on sale. wrenching and tuning does not come cheap. I am a big believer of you get what you pay for, butt thats me.

    ^I get what bras_33 buys me(22mm socket)! LOL! Ty buddy.

    I dont ohmeohmy, I have over $15k of tools and I still finding myself needing more. Like Bras_33 said you go cheap you get cheap and then stuff breaks.

    Milwakee makes some nice cordless impact guns, but the kit will be at least $300. I agree with the others, don't go cheap, buy something decent that will last.

    With wrenching, your best friends are: an impact gun, mitsubishi tool xp 5000 (rubber mallet), zip ties and duct tape...If you cant fix it with zip ties or duct tape, its really broken, lol :D

    You can try the Good Year 24v cordless impact wrench. It's just about 100 and read some good and bad stories about it. If you are local in Cali I'm sure there are a couple guys down here that can help you with whatever you need it for. i.e. pulley?
