Just got ours back from Sinclairs after it wouldn’t change direction with the switch, for some reason they said it wasn’t under warranty as nit been registered 😏 strange how everything else I got at same time had been but not that 🙄 so cost about £100 to fix
Switch comes as part of a switch kit, which includes all the wiring and speed switch and Bluetooth if it's a onekey model

I’ve been looking at switches for one at work, as you say they’re an unit and quite a pricey unit. But anyhow, not to worry, someone else has sorted the problem and ordered a new one! A flipping Makita one, half the power and old generation with 5amp batteries for double the price of a bare high torque new one!! we had batteries and chargers etc!!:X3::X3::X3::rolleyes::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Is there a problem with the trigger mechanisms ? Seems like there are a few with the same(ish) problems

mine is more a mechanical problem with the f/r slide switch. switch sticks out more on the reverse side than the forward side, its more or less below the body on the forward side so you cant just knock it across easy.

Its probably the plastic gears in them? That's what often goes wrong I think.

Is there any difference between the 12v M12FRAIWF12-0 and 18v M18BRAIW-0 right angle ratchet wrenches? Apart from batteries before someone says it! Which is better?
I think one would be useful for wheel and disc changing where we cannot get at the studs with the impact we have(18v)
