Nicr, but are the sizes only painted on? Gonna be a guessing game real soon.
I have a slightly smaller milwaukee set, got the diegrinder out for the sizes.

They are stamped and ink filled so hopefully won’t be an issue

Mine inflated a very flat telescopic tyre on one battery, takes a while but you can leave it to it.

Great if you are out of reach of some bigger source of air.

This, they are great, very convenient. Programme the pressure in and let it get on with it.

Have a slow leak on the straw bedder giving me hassle past few days and today none of my compressors would work with the cold. Then I started scrolling eBay for a Milwaukee 1

I haven't had trouble with my milwaukee one in the cold but it is probably a lot colder there than in Essex if my daughter in Inverness is to be believed.

I had that trouble with my little electric compressor not starting on cold days Dave and found if I emptied the tank of air it will then start

Both a draper and a sealy in the workshop wouldn’t start. It was -7 here last night.

I have to push the lock-out button (or whatever it is) on the side of my workshop compressor when it is very cold even here in Southern Softie Essex

Probably one of my most used purchases. Very very handy.
Even got the old fella (79) trained up on it! If I can't find it......he's squirreled it away to use

Same here in the cold but if left full at least there's some air to use, not sure which way's best.

Those milwaukee 's are sounding handy though.

I think so, mine was less a couple of years ago.

Obviously the message there is 'buy that Milwaukee tool now'.

Spent the last 30 mins trying to decipher the Milwaukee website.

I am looking for a 1/2" drive impact gun.

which gives about 11 options, a few I can rule out just by looking at them but still leaves about 4 to choose from??

I think I want the high torque version, open to being convinced otherwise, but on that proviso it leaves me with:

M18 FHIW2F12

M18 FHIWF12

but there is also a "one Key version" what is that?

Also would a mid torque do tractor wheel nuts / grab tine nuts etc and if so would that be a better tool to use?

Also what is the difference between an M18 fuel and a normal M18?

​

Fuel is top of the range brushless and more powerful motor, not got a non fuel nut gun to compare to but have a standard and fuel impact driver, chalk and cheese. M18 FHIW2F12 is what I went for, just under 900ftlb. You wouldn't want any more on a 1/2" drive and it doesn't give up on much. Think one key can Bluetooth to your phone for torque settings on an app.
