Electric rattle guns

[Winnie]

I bought a Ryobi one from Bunnings. I already have the battery and charger so the gun only cost $130. It's torquey as, did all my wheel nuts
Mate has a makita 240V one which is insane. There's nothing it won't turn.

@ Winnie that's good value, at $130,

I'm also a fan of the Ryobi, I have the 18v Impact wrench. I use it to swap tyres regularly and it's great for the quick trackside swap as well. I leave it with a spare battery in my draws full time.

I get through 2.5 vehicles before it starts dying with a 1.3amp battery.

Great bit of kit for $99 from Bunnings (on sale).

Sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone,got pissed instead after night shift and too hungover the next day.
Well after a dubious start,i can highly rate this piece of kit.
I initially had the battery clamp extension on but blew 2 fuses in about 2 mins,don't know why it chucked a spaz,but it did.
Reverted back to the cig plug connection (fuse covered in cigarette foil) and the rattle gun worked like a gem.
It took about 3 rattles on average to remove the nuts from the front ,rear wheels taking on average around 4.
Putting the tyre back on i rattled them 3 times and pinched them up with the brace(which took bugger all)
All up, 5 tyres changed and rotated in less than an hour.Very very happy with the rattle gun and price.
