Thanks again everyone.
I use a Makita 18V hedge trimmer around the house and then a leaf blower to tidy up afterwards. Only have a few hedges but it does a good job. Options are endless!

Get "Blue" professional Bosch series tools especially this kit as it has everything you will ever need either at home or in the bush.
2 piece 18v brushless 6 ah combo kit
The 1/4 impact driver ( Impact Driver GDX18VECBB) will undo wheel nuts on Patrol (133 Nm) and bonus is that it has inner 1/4 driver with outer 3/8 drive on it.
So you can use 1/4 bits and get 3/8 drive impact sockets for it as well. Absolute gem!
They also throw in a bonus angle grinder with it so getting 3 cordless tools!
My workmate uses this thing at work and can't kill it. It will undo trucks chassis M16 bolts,
The drill is the same it just keeps going no matter what abuse.....
I only wish I knew when I was getting Milwaukee 3/8 impact gun/ratchet combo .....
Note: Don't ever rattle wheel nuts back in, especially alloy wheels.....
Regards

They are very good too I agree mate, recently worked with some Bulgarian’s that swore by Bosch Blue daily.
Out of honest interest though, is it ok if I rattle lightly back on my wheel nuts before final torque up/check? Steelies not Alloy I run always. Cheers!

FWIW I hand thread mine back on, then rattle one or two ugga duggas around the pattern, then torque the rest up around the pattern. Can't see a problem with that. I don't just ugga dugga right up like tyre shops.
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

Cheers Plassy, I’ve always hand thread started and then run them up lightly but fast. Never in a circle I was tought, always incrementally opposite each shot. Finally torque up same same again. Is this correct, I hope?

Sounds same as me. Don't think you have to be a rocket surgeon to know to fix them up as opposite as possible and to spec torque. Light spin up with impact wrench once threaded, then finish with torque wrench. I actually repeat circuit after first torque up just to make sure nothing moved.

Being a Makita slut this is my choice of impact wrench, however seeing some of these cheaper units in this thread I'm thinking why spend the $$ when it's an occasional tool? Different batteries, chargers everywhere, etc gives me the sh!ts so I'll just stick to what I trust. Japanese only though, Makita make different stuff in different countries. Cheaper Makitas of same tool are made in different countries.

As long as you start by hand and then only drive them in sequentially until they touch/light torque you'll be fine. Steelies are more forgiving than alloys.
