Cordless impact wrenches for HGV and truck workshops at Truckstop Group
Impact wrenches are among the most-used tools in any commercial vehicle workshop, and the difference between a well-specified unit and an underspecified one shows up quickly on heavy wheel studs and chassis fasteners. The range here covers everything from compact 3/8-inch stubby units for access-limited work to 1-inch high-torque wrenches capable of 4000Nm for HGV wheel removal on lorries and trailers. Milwaukee, HiKOKI, DeWalt and Ingersoll Rand are the primary brands, all professional-grade tools suited to sustained workshop use.
For HGV wheel work, the Ingersoll Rand 1-inch 20V brushless 4000Nm kit is the high-torque option. Milwaukee M18 One Key FUEL covers both 1/2-inch friction ring and 1-inch D-handle high-torque variants — the One Key system allows torque and speed customisation via a connected device, which is useful for workshops with strict torque protocols. HiKOKI provides 18V brushless stubby 1/2-inch and 36V Multi Volt brushless 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch wrenches, with body-only and kitted options across the range. DeWalt covers 3/8-inch compact, 1/2-inch mid-torque and 1/2-inch full-torque variants in 18V, in both naked and kitted configurations.
Body-only units suit workshops already invested in the same battery platform. Kitted versions include two batteries and a charger. Confirm drive size and torque requirements before ordering — 1-inch drive is needed for HGV wheel studs, while 1/2-inch covers most other commercial vehicle fasteners. UK nationwide delivery.
Frequently asked questions
What drive size do I need for HGV wheel removal?
1-inch drive is the standard for HGV wheel studs, where torque values typically exceed what a 3/4-inch or 1/2-inch wrench can reliably remove. The Ingersoll Rand 1-inch 4000Nm unit in this range is specified for heavy commercial vehicle wheel work.
What is Milwaukee One Key and do I need it?
One Key is Milwaukee's connectivity system that allows torque and speed settings to be programmed via a smartphone app and stored on the tool. For workshops with specific torque protocols or calibration requirements, it provides a practical way to enforce settings across a tool fleet. For general workshop use it is a useful feature but not a requirement.
Are batteries included with all impact wrenches?
No. Body-only units do not include batteries or charger. Kitted versions include two batteries and a charger. Check the product listing for kit or naked designation. Body-only units are better value for workshops already using the same battery platform.
