In theory the smaller one is a better "fit" for use on the 'trol (wheels only go to 118Nm), but is the (much) larger capacity of the 889 "worth" the expense of the much bigger unit? Especially considering that it will be travelling around in my drawers.
G'day Jon, I have both siszes, albeit in another brand in my workshop. I usually take the larger more powerful one with me when we go bush. its not just the torque for wheel nuts you need, but in the case of an emergency repair you may want to undo chassis bolts or other "tight" nuts and bolts.

2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

true enough.. Although we don't break our patrols do we? (mine's in the repairers *again* at the minute)
I guess that i won't be using it for extended periods so the heavier unit won't be too much of a drag that way, although it's bound to be too big to get into some spots that we need it to (thanks Murphy)
true enough.. Although we don't break our patrols do we? you might want to help out a yota or landi driver. If it's a jeep you will get by with a shifter and duct tape.

If you hire it out to yoto drivers it will pay for itself in no time.lol
IMO I would buy the more powerful, less strain on stubborn bolts/nuts
might want to check if the battery is reversible ,

04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
being a chippie, ive got both sizes in milwaukee and id definetly go the big one, while the smaller ones might be rated to 200+nm at that point there working real hard, having tried both on wheel nuts the smaller ones (got 3 brushed and brushless versions) and it can be a struggle for them to crack the nut and get it moving where the big one just undoes it effortlessly. the bigger one will also allow you to get bigger bolts like harmonis balancers undone. i never even use my older air powered guns at home any more straight to the cordless
Cordless tools have come a long way in a few year eh?
It’s only recently I’ve understood the difference between an impact wrench & an impact driver. I have an air impact wrench which has saved my bacon a few times, but can understand why a battery one would be a great addition to the tool collection.
My 18v lithium ion cordless Makita collection continues to grow. Most recent addition was an impact driver which I scored brand new for $70 (skin only) & I’ve been using it for the past couple of days building myself some workbenches for the new shed. I reckon I’ve put in 250+ 75mm timber screws plus 60 or 70 50mm screws & have found the little cordless driver so much better than using a drill. I bought it not fully understanding quite what it did, just put faith in the fact that people who own them rate them highly. I was quite disappointed when I discovered it had no clutch, but have found it very controllable & a joy to use. Don’t know how I ever managed without it.
I can easily envisage a cordless impact driver joing the collection, maybe Santa will bring one. Trouble is the collection of batteries is growing too & they are not cheap. I reckon I have $500 just in batteries now with a recent purchase of two new 3Ah to add to my 3 3year old 3Ah’s.
