Power Tool Perverts

See if you can get a kit @Sidnancy

Seems more expensive but I wish I'd have got a massive kit from the get go

 

[Flat Eric]

Did you get a lotto win or something 🤣

Thing is, ive not got a lottery ticket. Also, im rarely gonna be using these. Im just pissed off with getting the torque wrench out every time. Lazy I know. Shortly we are gonna be putting a ford back together and I wanna be able to give some bolts the old dak dak sauce

Speaking of lotto wins. Completely random. I had a dream last night that you won 68million on lottery and shared some out to a select few on here (I was one of them)
100k you gave me. Thanks for the thought.

It was that vivid that when I woke up I told the Mrs that a guy called sidnancy has given me 100k 🤣

most of the kits I looked at on that site were out of stock. Might wait till Black Friday and see what deals are around. Couldnt see any that were the combi drill and then a decent impact wrench but ill continue hunting

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

1 lotto and 1 euromillions. lucky dips. 8.5M on the Lotto and 48M on the euros. Cheers @Flat Eric could be in for 56 milly

 

[Krarl]

Thankyou for the thought

If you win now though I have contractual evidence😈

@Sidnancy i wouldn't bother with the impact gun you showed above. It wouldn't be worth the money and you'll be kicking your anus that you didn't spend a bit more on the high torque one.

The way I see it is why not save up a bit more and get something that you know will undo every bolt you throw at it within your mechanic lifetime than something that won't. I'd be gutted and wonder why I even bought it in the first place

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

@Flat Eric Not a single match on the Lotto. So theres £8 milly down the drain. Hope your dream contained the Euro's cos thats the big one. Just think of the tears @Romanian Shlong Stroker will be excreeting if you get this wrong.

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Im swaying towards some Makita gear now. A builder friend of mine is always upgrading and so I would get a few bits chucked my way.... Basically I need to find a comparable kit from Ryobi, Makita & Milwaukee and see if I can justify the price difference. Yeah, having the 2000nm ugga dugga big dick would be great but do I really need to spend £350 on one unit that I might use once a year...

 

[dann2707]

Yes

 

[Jonnio]

Some random landscaping blokes that broke down on our road once have had more use out of mine than I have. I also now park a Hilux up against the garage door.

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Whats realistically the most nm most people are gonna use tho? Obvs 2000 is excessive. Doubt ill get close to 1000.

The first day I got mine I went round 3 doors up my road and started making the old boys air tools looks like s**t

Transit wheel nuts *BRRRBRBRBRBRBR*
13.5 tonner wheel nuts *BRBRBBBRBRBRRR*
44 tonner wheel nuts *BRBRBRBBBBRBRBR*

Old boy "not bad that like, how much was that?"🤣🤣🤣

He now has Milwaukee tools and his life has changed

when I read this I literally thought you had just started undoing random car wheels

Surprise when they drive off and end up with a Reliant Robin...

 

[Krarl]

Nah he has a yard full of stuff so I went to test it out. The old boy up there is pretty sound and most of the s**t I undid was sat there for at least 3 years 😂

Will 881 ugga duggas be enough for general work on the clio?

I'm looking at ordering this. I like how its also very compact.

Nah you need one of these at least for the rusted crap on a Clio.

But yeah that will fine, handy to get a ratchet too for the tight spots.
Tbf I’d probably get a ratchet first I use it the most out of all of them.

Would that be powerful enough though? For example im going to be changing the suspension and i know the damper bolts can be a pain to get free which is why I thought the impact wrench would be better

i have this one and a 6ah battery

Ratchets are good for smaller jobs

If you think you should use them to crack off suspension components then you should stick to Fisher Price👀

Apparently these aint that good. I was looking into getting one but they not quite there yet

 

[jameswrx]

Pretty sure the torque channel did a test of those compact 18v ones vs the 12v and the 12v was just as good.

I’m hoping Milwaukee come out with a new battery fit more than anything. Im on my 3rd 12v 6.0 battery shell now. The small batt is perfect on the 12v but the 6.0 is too big for the design of the fitting. You get a lot more poke on 6.0 though so I want to use it.

I only realised the other week that the arrow setting is the most powerful for undo. I’d always assumed 3 was full power either way. Bit annoying really as you wanna undo and do up something that was really tight and you have to press through the modes to go round to 3 again. I know people will be like woopy do but when it’s your job and you’re rushed off your feet it all adds up. I’d honestly rather it was just full power either way all the time as (when you do it hundreds of times a day) you can know when to stop. I get get average Joe will just be breaking or over torquing stuff though.

New work guy has 18v 1/2” big torque and battery just seems terrible fit too.

last time i changed suspension it was really difficult to get them off by hand

 

[Louis]

Tried my new milwankee grinder for the first time today. Really impressed! I've only ever has the cheapest corded ones from screwfix and the like which have vibrated like f**k and been super loud.

This is insanely smooth and lighter than the corded ones even with a big boi battery!

Yes but a battery ratchet ain't gonna crack them nuts off, my 3/8 stubby impact doesn't crack those nuts loose. Need to get a 1/2 at least

Thats what i linked originally mate, a 1/2 impact wrench with 881nm

Is that on the M12 Stubby you mean?

Arrow mode 4 is auto shut off in forward, in reverse it 'should' be the same power as mode 3...

I've never noticed it being anymore powerful between the two modes.

There does seem to be some freak tools though, like you say the torque test channel did one between the 3/8 and 1/2 and the 3/8 had slightly more power.

Yeah, stubby.

Mine definitely seems to be more powerful in arrow mode. I tested it a couple of times now, when in 3 and it has that ‘not gonna touch it sound’ switch to arrow and it gets it off fine.

Before I tried the other week I’d always just left it in 3 (unless I wanted to use the low torque wind down of arrow mode). Had a bolt that wasn’t budging in 3 and for some reason just tried arrow and it came undone.

I think two modes would be enough for me, full power both ways and the arrow mode can be handy sometimes for tightening stuff you want to torque.
