Tools you have bought/want to buy feedback thread

Came across this. Be better than my current one, even with the long ass cable that I made it's still a pita.

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 [emoji106]

Happy to call past yours one arvo mate, I'm working in the west ATM so most arvos go home though GB. mine develops 2000nm I believe, have always tried to nip up the nuts after tightening by hand but have never been able to turn much more. Fwiw yes it's Makita.

FWIW: I’ve sheared wheel studs off at 200Nm with my bare hands :-)

I've seen your hands mate, they are untamed machines...

I am hoping Rusty means 200 not 2000? Typo I suggest. My 240V 1/2" driver runs out at 600nm and that will shift just about anything I will come across.

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

Is there a 12V impact wrench with an adjustable torque setting with display? My Hitachi is 'on or off', so I use it to rattle up to nip torque then finish off with the torque wrench.

I’m sure they’ve probably invented mate but unsure if I’d personally trust it.
Do know your boss will kick your arse if you were to drop his calibrated torque wrench from a massive 20cm height impact let alone rattling built into a gun all day?
