    I have the Kangaroo Creek imports 12 volt rattle gun if that's the term. Fully rebuildable great on stubborn nuts.
    Plus saves my back as not using a wheel brace, Quicker when changing wheels at home.
    Cost was $80 and think they aren't much more these days. Never tried the 240v jobs but can see you are limited to home use only.
    18-24 volt jobs way too pricey so this may be just the thing for home workshop.
    Had mine since 94 and never let me down yet.

    G'day all,

    Gun would be purely used for tyre rotations at home. I try and do it after dropping the oil but sometimes
    cannot be buggered swinging a tyre brace especially when its 40+ degrees in the shade,just thought this
    might make life a bit easier and motivate me a bit more.

    If you've got cordless drills at home, then have a look for the skin-only rattle guns in the same model and use your existing batteries.

    I've got cordless and pneumatic and I know others that have the style that threedogs is referring to and rate them but I don't think they would last with regular use

    For what you guys do it's probably a little overkill... But as a diesel mechanic I payed $900 for a 1/2" Snap-On 18v cordless jigger, it's a big gun, but for a cordless gun it's got balls that match and sometimes outperform pneumatic guns (outperforms my JBS pneumatic gun) but with the portability that means I can nearly forget the compressor on the work ute!
    Honestly the best $900 I have spent so far, but if you guys want any suggestions I reckon Makita make the best in the 2-300 $ range, we have between us makita's ryobis and hitachi s and I would definitely say Makita wins hands down.

    And I say $2-300 as you can get cheaper ones, I just have seen them in action and they aren't worth the box they come in!
