I'm due for a new pair and unsure what to get.
I'm looking at the $150-200 range.
Steel Blue, mongrel, cat is there much difference between them all?
I know that everyone says that they want a comfortable boot, but I really do mean it.

Thongs! Double-pluggers if safety is an issue.

Sounds like from what you said that the driver may be the way to go, the type of work I'd do would be lighter stuff so the driver may be a more appropriate option.
Thanks everyone.
Wrench turned up today, gotta be happy with that service, ordered on Thursday, turns up lunch time Monday in rural Vic.
Not opened it up yet, will later on.

Bought one of these 'reluctantly as its probably going to be used once every 20000yrs. Need it right now to drill out a snapped stud in the block tomorrow, simply could not do it any other way due to clearance issues, or had to remove the radiator. have a pile of batteries i use for my chainsaw, so that worked. I suppose if I put it into a shop to have them do it it would have been twice the cost of the tool.drill.JPG

Gee I've had a few uses for something like that over the years. Will it be out of warranty in 20000 years?

How's it going mate? They are an awesome tool but with very limited purposes. Often wanted one for cabinet making etc but have always gone the tightass drill adapter approach, they are about $300 right?

Yes Nic, on the shelf at Total tools for $298, but got it for $270. I have the chuck 90 deg adapter, but they are a bit weak. I have a 100% metal one I found some time ago, but it still is longer in the snout than this one. I am hoping its going to make the stub removal easier tomorrow.

Is the bolt broken below the surface of the thread?
If it's not then just weld a nut to it and undo it. Even if its snapped flush you can still weld something to it.

Nice, i have one is a Corded version which i did a Heap of work with back in the day. generally only used it as a Screw gun though for a specific product in my range. It has been handy for the odd hole though over the years for sure. Could not justify an 18v one these days and you are right it will be used little. The guy that built my shed had one and he used it for tek screws in confined spaces and it worked great. Up against the fence for the boxing for the concreter was also handy.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!
....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

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.
