Recommend Cordless Impact Drill

[MudRunnerTD]

Hey folks thanks for all the replies.

Yeah, I'm looking for something to undo & redo up wheel nuts and also to do up nuts and bolts when I'm feeling lazy, also for undoing rusted on stuff. I don't mind using hand tools, but when I'm stuffed, I'd kill to be able to just squeeze a trigger rather than yank on a spanner.

I don't have any 18v stuff and don't do anything heavier than work on the Patrol.

What sort of power would I need to undo a Patrol wheel nut? 100Nm, 300, 325????

Hey that could be a bloody good way to start off. I'd ditch the sockets and get a couple of deep quality ones. I think this is what ET was talking about???

Yeah they are a beast mate. The first time I pulled the trigger I thought it was a joke! Paid it no respect at all. Junk. OMFG was i wrong. BEAST.

For what you have described above I don't think you can go past it. It has cracked quite a few nuts I could not get near with ease. Cheap as chips and bloody good kit.

Valentines Day is nearly upon us blokes. Aint no better gift than an 18v kit, to get things done around the house and garden together of course ;-)

10G - Yeah, it is... well, one of the many variants on Ebay and not my particular one but they all seem to work as well as each other

and

MR - Yeah, they are awesome on wheel nuts eh.
I've also used it on differential gear bolt thingies that were down up to a gazillion Ft/Lbs as well.

Why do you think blokes upgrade to 9.0AH batteries, just greedy little monsters I guess :-)

I'm thinking of getting a cordless impact drill for work on the Patrol.

I don't know alot about these things. A mate said you must get one at least with 5aH battery. It'll need to be capable of undoing wheel nuts, I hate them, and everything else.

Any recommendations?

How fast & simple & expensive is this beast on “Lug Nuts” lol :-)!

Other “work on” your “Patrol” mentioned, say ‘drilling’ out old broken studs for ‘Easy Outs’, ‘grinding’ back rust or prepping for a weld I still honestly believe a starter cordless kit of any decent brand is a good long term investment for productivity IMHO.
As BennyBoy previously mentioned an ‘Impact driver/drill’ which comes in most kits these days will not crack a wheel nut but man they are fast and handy on them and all other Patrol bolts prior to final torque up properly I guess :-) Select a cordless brand of your choice and inform all of your loved ones that Dad no longer accepts socks & jocks each fathers day, only your tool brand ‘Skins’ to add to the growing collection :-)

... reminds me of some of the Torque Multipliers we used in the military to hold the really important bits on the plane

Thanks for all the replies folks.

I think I'll get one of those eBay wrenchs, I can't see how I can go wrong for the price. Later on I'll probably look at the 18v range of stuff, I don't mind a bit of gardening so that all looks like a really good idea.

Thanks again everyone.
