Makita impact gun.

[Lewis]

Seems like there's alot to choose from for impact gun for general farm duties. Ranging from £80-£300 .

Which would be the model to go for with a 1/2 inch chuck key ?

Looking at soley Makita due to having a range of other tools and hopefully pick something up in a black Friday deal ..

Borrowed this one off a neighbor to tighten a load of cubicle bolts was a revelation, so looking to get my own.

I've got the 1/2 one. A 1002 I think. Good bit of kit

But very heavy

We have the DTW300, it's quite capable on M12, and will handle M16 at a push. It's so handy it gets used *all* the time. I'm sure I'll get the 1000 model at some point but it looks a heavy lump unless you have lots of 27mm/30mm bolts to do.

The 1002 is an absolute weapon, love mine

 

[Lewis]

cheers guys dtw300 sounds like it will be the one for me then,

Have a 285 here and love it. Light but powerful. Not enough power to break too much tho.

Buy the most powerful you can afford.

I bought a 3/4 milwaukee with over 2000Nm of torque and have yet to regret it and haven't found an intact nut it won't slacken.
It also has settings to allow you to tighten M10 bolts safely.

Was asked by a neighbour to help take wheels off an old lorry trailer as he was standing on a 4ft long bar and bending the socket bar.
The impact driver has the nuts off in about 3 seconds each.

A brilliant thing.

2000Nm?! Is that right? Sounds a hell of a thing if so.2000Nm is a hell of a lot of torque.

The makita 1001 has 1700nm busting force and 1050nm fastening ,,

Similar to the Milwaukee high torque that’s 1800 IIRC, we’ve got the Makita 1000nm at work, it’s not quite upto ten stud wheel nuts everytime but not a lot stops it fair play. Personally would be buying the red one!!!

 

[Dukes Fit]

I've a DTW1001 wouldn't have anything smaller.
It fires M16 thunderbolts in to concrete very well and also comes in handy for plough bolts
