Recommend Cordless Impact Drill

[10G]

I'm thinking of getting a cordless impact drill for work on the Patrol.

I don't know alot about these things. A mate said you must get one at least with 5aH battery. It'll need to be capable of undoing wheel nuts, I hate them, and everything else.

Any recommendations?

I have a Panasonic one it does the job .

You can't use your normal hand sockets with these drills can you? Don't they shatter or something?

Yes, I def recommend you purchase impact socket/s.

For Wheel nuts I the 12v corded style driver (and turf the sockets that come with it) as no worries about flat driver battery when it only gets used rarely.
Either way it makes changing wheels a breeze

Milwaukee 1/2" rattle gun.
We put them through hell and back daily at work and never had one fail ....
We even work live with them on 22,000VAC and they still keep on rattling on .
I have one at home too and for working in the car it's very handy !

Milwaukee 18V gear rocks Hodgey mate! I was previously going to set up my ute for all air tools but just carry 2 x 9.0AH 18v batteries now. Rattle Gun, Grinder, Sabre Saw for tight tracks too. Their cordless grease gun and die grinder stay at home but took the water transfer pump with a 30m hose up the Murray for kids fun camping recently. Huge range of work toys they have, addictive;-)

5ah would do a lot of wheel nuts.
I have an old Bunnings special ryobi 18V 1/2 rattle with a 2ah battery and it gets the job done no worries. I could undo all the wheel nuts on my car 5 times before it started to struggle because of not enough battery.

Very versatile range indeed Marko!!
Of all those... The leaf blower is by far my fave.
It gets a campfire going in no time !
One of the very first things I pack every camping trip...

Ryobi One+ 3speed impact wrench, quite a handy series at a reasonable price

My new favourite is the 2x18v (36v) cordless chainsaw. Will cut multiple nights worth of firewood into 18" lengths on one charge.

As to brand - whatever brand of other cordless stuff you already have.

I've got a number of Makita 18v tools & am happy with them, but if I were starting over I reckon I'd go for Milwaukee - I used a neighbours Milwaukee impact driver & it just seemed stronger/heavier duty than mine.
