@MudRunnerTD Ok - I have tried to insert the picture again above.

Don't have a large area haven't measured yet, but probably around 40 sqm.
Side note.
If I go the Ryobi I'll get a brushless 18v chainsaw. It would only do light work.

A chainsaw for mowing your lawn? Might be a little untidy mate!Quote:

I reckon one would be perfect for your place

Toying with the idea of a cordless rattle gun again, having seen the Makita I think would suit me for $399. It would be a 'travelling tool' with the aim of simplifying a few things & saving me a bit of pain & grief. Athritis is becoming a thing for me, & I find exertion can often be followed by pain for several days if I'm not careful. Disappointingly I don't think an electric rattle gun is suitable for doing up wheel nuts, but could I think be very handy for undoing a variety of fasterners. Just a few days ago I was lent an Hitach one to undo the front diff plug - so easy!
Anyway Makita will be the brand as that's what I have batteries for. I'm wondering if anyone else has a Makita DTW700Z 'mid torque' model & if so would you recommend it as a general 'all rounder'? It is physically smaller & lighter than the Hitachi (HiKoki) one I used, but more powerful & with a variety of settings. It's weight is probably much the same as the long length of pipe I carry for leverage on stubborn nuts, & more flexible to boot.

FWIW Cuppa Mate I used to always carry onboard a 1,000Nm Milwaukee 1/2” drive rattle and after wrist surgery had to downgrade to a 600Nm which felt like half the weight in reality and still getting the trackside job done [emoji106][emoji106]
Brands….whatever…..1,000Nm nut busting home/work power is too much for us Young Blokes out and about with GVM’s to also consider every added bonus weight reduction necessary too [emoji23][emoji106]
EDIT: Milwaukee’s older 1,000Nm nut buster was heaps heavier than that looking great sounding tool to your kit Cuppa Mate Apologies [emoji106][emoji106]

Not impressed with some of the design features of my new Stihl. I found out, the hard way, not to overreach the kick back lever. You badly burn of all your fingertips on the exhaust. Yeoww!!Quote:

When I bought my 1000Nm model, the Bunnings units were made in PRC but Total Tools sold the Japanese-made ones so I bought there.Quote:

A friend has a 1/2" Dewalt impact gun that can pretty much break any stud he wants it he lets it go. I am prone to believe that any good brand impact made for 1/2 will have enough torque to wheel nuts.
On a side note, my "hobby" 1/4 impact is still useful even for wheel nuts and panhard nuts... I just break them with a breaker bar and let the toy impact gun do spinning for me...
Hey Cuppa, I just went through researching impact wrenches to add to my collection.
Looked at high/medium and standard torque ones.
I ended up with a standard 340nm purely for its size and weigh.
Unless you are working in heavy machinery or construction anything more IMO is an overkill.
To give you an idea, I stripped my sons Hilux and put it back together with this little thing. Pretty much every bolt. And never even tried it on a high setting
I have a Milwaukee kit so went with them but Makita would have something similar.
This thing fits in the palm of my hand.

Hey Cuppa, only had Choinese-made DTW700Z at Total Tools and Bunnings. Might not be a choice there for you. The 1000Nm unit is still marked as made in Japan, or as the Total Tools guy told me, "made in Japan". He said every crate of Makita comes in from Choina.Quote:

Hey Cuppa, I'm a Makita man. I have a couple of 1/2" rattles. To be honest this one gets All the use these days. Does the job great. Not sure it will crack a wheel nut but everything else is a winner. I crack by hand then zip off and zip on the torque to spec by hand anyway.Quote:

That will do wheel nuts no problems Daz ! From memory wheel nuts should be aroun 100-130nm.
If not throw it in the bin and get a Milwaukee…lol

What’s everyone’s thoughts on this relatively new release found from Milwaukee for their 18v 12.0Ah battery recommended range that we have already have quite a few yard batteries to suit:
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2021/10/93.jpg
Claims it’ll do up to 135psi and weighs under 15kg which would be worksafe handy for one man carrying around the bone yard for truck tyres and the like instead of mud wheeling/dragging diesel powered compressors through winter sludge [emoji90]
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2021/10/94.jpg
I just don’t fully understand the elecy 70% “Duty Cycle” techy stuff listed, would that mean it overheats after pumping up a first/second/tenth tyre?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The duty cycle is normally stated over a 10 minute period. So at 60% it would run for 6 minutes and need to rest for 4 minutes. It could even switch into a thermal/overload protection during this period. It will be in milwaukees product information. It doesn't have a lot of flow so could take a while on the larger stuff. If you compare it to the arb twin compressor the little milwaukee is 4 times slower.
Thanks Mat Mate, Appreciated!
Thinking I’ll wait until the technology gets better then.

Stolen from FB. A good read....
TOOLS EXPLAINED
DRILL PRESS : A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
WIRE WHEEL : Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh sh*t'
DROP SAW : A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.
PLIERS : Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.
BELT SANDER : An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW : One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.
VISE-GRIPS : Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
OXYACETYLENE TORCH : Used almost entirely for lighting on fire various flammable objects in your shop. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race..
TABLE SAW : A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.
HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK : Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.
BAND SAW : A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST : A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER : Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.
STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER : A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.
PRY BAR : A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.
HOSE CUTTER : A tool used to make hoses too short.
HAMMER : Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
UTILITY KNIFE : Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.
ADJUSTABLE WRENCH: aka "Another hammer", aka "the Swedish Nut Lathe", aka "Crescent Wrench". Commonly used as a one size fits all wrench, usually results in rounding off nut heads before the use of pliers. Will randomly adjust size between bolts, resulting in busted buckles, curse words, and multiple threats to any inanimate objects within the immediate vicinity.
Son of a bitch TOOL : Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a b*tch' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.
