Power Tool Perverts

[Krarl]

I'm looking to replace my Snap-On 1/2 impact gun with something Makita... Or even DeWalt. The Snap on guns are limited with a 4aH battery which are quite frankly shite compared to a Milwaukee/DeWalt/Makita 6aH 18v. My dad has a DeWalt impact driver a drill which have sen 4 years of abuse and still run like new

Can anyone recommend me a decent gun/deal as I'll probably want a 1/2 impact, 3/8 impact, impact driver and a new combi drill too... Maybe even an SDS and a grinder because why the f**k not. Oh and brushless earns you bonus points too <3

Cheers

Don’t know about dewalt ect but I’ve abused my wilfookies at work daily for 3 years and they’ve never stopped working , even dropped my 1/2 gun from high up and it survived ( battery fell apart but still works lol )

usually see them come up onsale at euros/ toolstation as a kit for decent coin

 

[Bluebeard]

We have a dewalt impact gun (with the biggest battery they do) at work for taking wheels on and off and to be honest, it’s way too powerful for that. Can snap a wheel bolt off piece of piss, We tried it on a scrapper.

 

[botfch]

Either of the big brands will be decent I’d go Milwaukee personally given the choice.

 

[Krarl]

I've not got the coin for that tackle @Dr HMS Derv Destroyer 😂 I'm only a part-time Romanian tyre fitter...

@Daniel is that the 20v 8aH big b*****d? A mate of mine has one and I felt like my wrist was gonna give way removing a transit wheel😂😂

@Archtronics if you're paying then I insist

Oh I’ve only got one piece of Milwaukee kit(impact wrench), the rest is a mix of Ryobi, Sealey other budget stuff etc.

Milwaukee is fantastic quality but a complete waste of money for weekend warriors unless your loaded in my opinion.

 

[frayz]

Got the DeWalt DCF899 at home. So far been a great bit of kit with plenty of torque. its a big old lump though. 😅

Yeah I cant see myself buying Milwaukee yet as I'm too tight😂 Snap-On are alright but their power tools are s**t compared to other brands

This Snap-on one I've got atm weight a metric f**k tonne😂😂

 

[frayz]

I can weigh the DeWalt for you tomorrow Kyle. It’s mega but not cut out for tight spaces. 😅

 

[frayz]

This dude is a super geek but torque tests it against the Milwaukee and IR.

 

[bashracing]

What's the impact going to be used for ? and how often will it be used ?

Load of stuff mate

Gearboxes, engines, wheel bolts, rear axles, the occasional van wheel, whatever you can throw at a gun. It just won't be used every single day. I 100% know I want a 3/8 gun for doing boxes because this 1/2 is a right fucker for doing some jobs

 

[Pistachio]

Don't know anything about them, but the project binky guys use kielder impacts on the Escargot, so can't be too bad 🤷‍♂️

 

[dann2707]

These are just for my home use so no hardcore garage use but I fully recommend the 1/2 inch Bluetooth jobby. It's ridiculously powerful and you can change the torque and speeds from your phone. It is an utter beast.

Got the 3/8 stubby too which i use the most I'd say. Can deliver many many torques for the size too. Wheel nuts are a piece of piss etc.

The drill is powerful too I'd fully recommend that if you're upgrading your drill too. Has Bluetooth too so you can choose your speeds etc but that's a little pointless imo.

Stubby shown for size.

Yeah they look good but not mainstream enough for me

I want to buy 1 brand so I don't have to mess about with batteries. At the minute I don't have 1 single brand that shares a pissing battery and I'm sick of buying 2 batteries for each chuffing bit of tackle haha

@dann2707 but you're a rich sod

 

[dann2707]

I think that milwaukee are just really killing it with new tools released and they're super durable too.

They come with a 3 year warranty as standard.

 

[JamesBryan]

Get a DeWalt and rob your dad's batteries.

 

[dann2707]

Get a Milwaukee and become a man

Their tools are boss but I don't have that sort of money... Well, I do but it would f**king hurt me inside to pay their prices when a DeWalt/Makita/Ryobi will do the exact same

We already share tools anyway 😂

Or this.

I've got the mid torque one which has done anything I've thrown at it up to now.

Also the sub compact 3/8 and the extended ratchet.

 

[Louis]

I have this - https://www.sgs-engineering.com/milwaukee-m12fiw38-0-fuel-3-8-impact-wrench-body-only

It's great when I remember to actually get it out and use it! Find myself using a ratchet like some sort of peasant and wonder wtf i'm doing.

 

[Brigsy]

I have the dewalt dcf899 and it has plenty of poke. I have damaged mine somehow though as the impact mechanism is noisy on it now, i think it was when i tried to undo a bolt that was tight as feck and rattled it for ages. Bit disappointing to be fair its not had tons of use as only occasional use at home. Batteries last forever on It.

If i was to buy again id prob go milwaukee though.

Spent all night looking at Milwaukee tools and pricing everything up. I was surpised there wasn't much in it compared to the Makita stuff tbh

I mean I guess red is my favorite colour... 😂

 

[RSRowe]

You may of already purchased. But I’d highly recommend these

Pardon our interruption...

Pardon our interruption...

The half inch one will easy blast off the most stubborn bolts such as crank pulled pins.
The 3/8 one gets the most use though, as it’ll quite happily undo most things on the suspension and wheel nuts.

 

[davo172]

Milwaukee all day long had 2 dewalt impact guns at work as above link both lasted less that 6 months snapped drives!
Dewalts warranty was s**t too didn't want to know!!
Now had a Milwaukee for 2 years bomb proof it is an way less expensive!

 

[JamesBryan]

Can't fault Milwaukee's warranty either.

Had my drill back to me in 3 days, after the trigger went funny.

 

[Krarl]

Added £1200 worth of tackle to my cart earlier🤦‍♂️

Cant fault Makita, they dont break in the first place

 

[JackJack]

The Milwaukee sub compact impacts look handy as.

All tools break.

 

[JP83]

Touch wood (giggity), my Makita gear has been good as gold so far.

After getting one of their cordless drills for a good deal few years back, I ended up adding to my Makita arsenal. Now I have an impact gun, garden strimmer and chainsaw (dual 5mah battery mother truckers).

Just pick up a drill without a battery for £60 job done shouldn’t need anything more than that?

 

[Eddie555]

All the electric tools you'll need IMO.. Keep them in the boxes and you can just throw them into the pit car for track days..

You've clearly underestimated my bodgery if you think that's enough power tools😂

That £1200 is this lot

I'm currently waiting an eBay 10-20% off code to order it as I know this seller usually has these offers on😂 20% brings it down to just a smidge over £900

Do you really need four of the m12 batteries??

 

[Krarl]

An and another M18 5Ah battery

 

[Krarl]

Yes

They're cheaper than your Mrs' bog roll stash

Haha. Just trying to save you wasting money. I'd rather the better quality fuel impact driver and drill instead of extra batteries.
