Thanks for the replies guys. I reckon you'd have to go a long way to get better value than that Ryobi brand. I have a plan. I'll buy a trimmer and a blower + 2 batteries for a Christmas present for the garden. Then I can sneak in drills, saws etc etc later on.

The most important part of getting the right torque on your wheel nuts is to Grease your Wheel Studs. If you have never put lube on the wheel studs then friction will give you torque settings that might not be true and could be significantly looser than expected.
I hand thread to a couple of turns then rattle on then Torque wrench to finish. Grease every time the wheel comes off though.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Oh OK, grease 'em you reckon. It's always been one of those Do I or Don't I things with me. Grease 'em, you can get stuff caught in the grease in the threads, don't grease 'em they can become really crappy to spin the nuts back on by hand.

I've only just started greasing mine and they are heaps easier to get started. Haven't had any issues with them coming loose after correctly torquing them up which was my concern.
I only use a very light smear of grease on each stud.

Why not anti-seize?

Just what I have handy mate. I find anti seize a little messy too as I have that silver stuff. I will use grease from a tub or spray lithium grease as it's generally handy. It all gets the job done though.
