There are a load of Chines copies of Makita impact wrenches on Ebay. Has anyone here got one and tried it on wheel nuts ?

I’d make sure that you’re equipped with another way of refitting the wheel if it manages to remove the nuts!
Joking apart some of these are competent at the price & are significantly better than earlier attempts, having said that I’ve a reciprocating saw which has cut its way through much much more than it was intended to do.
The marketing of this type of item is clever, a well respected manufacturer is name dropped when referring to an aspect such as battery compatibility, implying a connection between the devices that isn’t there. Some sellers post devices at blistering prices only for you to find out when it hits your doormat that the batteries are not included.
Torque is everything with these & that need not be reiterated here but my son has a Milwaukee gun & it is impossibly powerful to the point where I won’t use it, not wanting to present to A&E with my right arm in a carrier bag having had it ripped off while putting a wheel back on.
These are probably quite good but won’t recover if dropped from above- - - - - - - -. I’ll let you fill in the figures, any guesses anyone?
Caveat emptor.

At work and at home I use Hilti and Bosch professional battery rattle guns the 2 Hiltis 3/4” and 1/2” drive are for heavy work and the Bosch 1/2” and 3/8” drive ar for medium and light work respectively, I find the quality of these makes for ease of use, more control and less hard on the hands than the el’cheapo stuff.
Having said that
I keep an Aldi cheapie in the Ute for emergencies, it’s not bad for the money and I won’t be heartbroken if some scumbag junkie vermin pinches it from the back of the Ute.
