Its just a Marlin 1895S, but its not a heavy gun, so kicks like a mule,or at least it did until the mercury slug was installed, and I use a slip on limb saver as well. Should be just smooth when the muzzle brake goes on.Quote:

I have some ozito stuff, I find it will do the job just not as nice. I have a mitre saw which the deck deg settings aren't quite right and an angle grinder which has always had a nasty vibration.Quote:

Aldi cordless tools... Wait till theyre in the clearance basket at half price. 4 amp hour batteries with a digital display, 29 bucks. Where the fark do the brand names get off charging 100 bucks for theirs. Clearance prices: Brushless saw $69. Brushless grinder $same. Dual battery compressors $49. Brushless impact $49.. and my favourite cordless slide compound 216 mm was just 99 bucks. If they are shyt, which quite a few of their tools are, bring them back next time you are there, no questions asked!Attachment 80967
Check this out mate. Game changer! Anti fatigue to the Max!!!!Quote:

I have this on every tool and had it on every air tool in my shop. If I was setting up again I would simply fit it to each Air Hose. Assuming you run 1 or 2 hoses only then you only need 1 or 2. Best Shit Ever!!!

How many of your nail guns did you have to sift through to find one with the safety not jammed....😜
Bhahahaha. Back in the day working at a bench doing production runs every gun on every bench was jammed for sure.Quote:

Here is another option for adapting but more likely to get pinched on site. I made this for flexibility in my shed.

I run all makita battery gear for work, love it, so many different tools in the makita battery range. Am looking at getting a battery rattle gun to make wheel rotating quicker and easier. There’s a few different options though. What would you guys say would be the minimum impact rate/torque required for rotating wheels on the patrol?

I have a little 1/4in dewalt impact driver rated at 200 something nm. Not designed for that but I have rattled a wheel nut off before.. It wasn't exactly expedient and I thought it was going to sheer the socket adapter haha. If I was going to buy something for that purpose I'd look for a 1/2in gun.
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!Quote:

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.Quote:

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.

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?

There are 3/4" drive units with dial up torque settings - we have a couple at the mine , they are calibrated every 6 months and they are dead accurate, just have not seen one in 1/2" 18V. If they are not calibrated, then yes, indicative only I agree.

That's astounding torque, absolutely amazed, thanks for confirming that, I will store that gem away for future use.
Hi mate, just to revisit this, the machine I have is actually the Big Boy Linisher. I rate it and 8t gets the job done very very well. As I stated above I used it constantly in an industrial environment for a few years and it never missed a beat. A fair bit cheaper too. See the pic below. I don't hesitate to recommend this although I am talk8ng about my machine built in the 1990s v the current jobs but look identical.Quote:

Thanks for the info so far guys. Does anyone know the torque required for pulling studs through? That’d be the minimum torque requirement for me. Sick of doing it by hand lolQuote:

I hate buying stuff on line. I don’t like to wait. If I want something I want it now. I’d rather pay the little extra if it is just to have it straight away. Impatient I am...Quote:

Some safety warnings first though but not limited to:
#1 = Safety glasses or shield a must
#2 = Both hands needed at all times
#3 = Purchase quality bits
#4 = Allow tool to reach full RPM before insertion :-)
#5 = Never operate wearing slippers :-)
EDIT: All jokes aside, this is what happens when a bloke starts up the die grinder already within the steel hole!

Like this:

Apart from the obvious socket connecting part of the drill, what's the difference between these 2 types of drill?
And with impact drills, how do I connect my 1/4" & 1/2" sockets to it? They just seem to have a small hole in 'em. I'm guessing I need some sort of extra adapter or something???? Does that adapter come with the drill usually??? And do I need an 'impact' type adapter like I need impact sockets???
I was looking at the Ryobi 18v stuff as we already have Ryobi 18v gardening stuff.
This gear won't get alot of use, so i don't need top shelf stuff.
Thanks for any help guys.
Depends what you want to use it for... first one is good for driving things like bugle head batten screws into timber, second one is good for wheel nuts. And other nuts and bolts.
Get a brushless one if they have them.
Oh shit, glad i asked. It's for work on the Patrol and stuff like that, yep, wheel nuts is high up on the list.
So if it has a 1/2 drive, do need to use impact type 1/2" - 3/8' adapters etc????
Just trying to build the shopping list.
Definitely use GOOD impact sockets with the gun. I've seen the injuries normal sockets cause when they shatter.
Also this is the result of using the lighter normal sockets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oc9N5LDtB0
Or some brands of socket https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMZcf76f0W4
A bit basic but good info https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdZ8nSqsI34
