Cordless 100%
Milwaukee, DeWalt or Makita. Depends if you have any other of their tools so you can share batteries.
If not, Milwaukee for me. I've had experience with their warranty service and it's spot on.
I paid £138.40 for 4 brand new from Renparts.

Not ideal, but they can be used if the bolts are tightened right up otherwise they can slip. Where as with the tabbed washer there's no where for it to slip to because the tab inside fills the gap.
Need to wire brush any loose rust and then brush the Hydrate80 on.
It neutralises the rust, turning it a black-ish colour. It does work.
The metal then needs painting to protect it.
Bilt Hamber stuff is the dog's b****cks for rust treatment and protection.
I've used their Hydrate80 rust convertor in the past as well as the Detox C rust removal stuff.
General all purpose cleaner or fabric cleaner on the belts, work in with something like a nail brush.
Pull them all the way out and trap them in the door and pressure wash off or you could use the wet vac to extract them.
