There are 3/4" drive units with dial up torque settings - we have a couple at the mine , they are calibrated every 6 months and they are dead accurate, just have not seen one in 1/2" 18V. If they are not calibrated, then yes, indicative only I agree.

Agreed mate, I’ve been able to deliberately shear up to M14 maybe M16 mild steel bolts at work with only 1,000Nm

I was a little off but yeah, 1600nm.

That's astounding torque, absolutely amazed, thanks for confirming that, I will store that gem away for future use.

Looking for a static belt edge sander/drum sander for the workshop...needs to be dust extractor compatible...have a 6inch flexi collection system.
Wonder if there are any brands or sites I should be looking at. Looking at Second hand.
Something a little smaller than what's in the attached pick.

Cheers.

Hi mate, just to revisit this, the machine I have is actually the Big Boy Linisher. I rate it and 8t gets the job done very very well. As I stated above I used it constantly in an industrial environment for a few years and it never missed a beat. A fair bit cheaper too. See the pic below. I don't hesitate to recommend this although I am talk8ng about my machine built in the 1990s v the current jobs but look identical.

Please do keep in mind that most of our Patrol OEM torque specs are circa 130Nm ish for wheel nuts I believe (double check your manual/model variants) to be sure!
No particular favour but I’ve just downgraded my onboard 1,000Nm beast Milwaukee 18v 1/2” (ring drive a must/never pin) to a 600Nm 18v 1/2” ring drive purely for usage weight with crook hands.
For tool longevity it is best I believe to go 1/2” drive as O-TJ-O kindly suggested above and I’d personally suggest at a least 300Nm minimum for cracking (undoing) stubborn wheel nuts especially on trailers that may sit around for a while.
NEVER rely on your rattle gun to torque up to OEM wheel specs properly again when refitting.
A torque wrench is the only way to be fully sure for that last correct nip up after spinning the nuts back on quickly with your new coming gun of choice

Thanks for the info so far guys. Does anyone know the torque required for pulling studs through? That’d be the minimum torque requirement for me. Sick of doing it by hand lol

You're game posting that on here! Haha I don't think you're supposed to pull studs through.. I think they need to be pressed in... Not that I ever had a wheel drop off, but there ya go ha
