Remembered to check model number today!! It must be 3 or 4 yr old now and not done much as it’s a disappointment everytime it comes out of box. It failed to open some rusty M flipping 10 bolts today! Would expect it to either open or shear them! Half inch swivel bar was shapping them like carrots!!

What batteries are you using and how old?

What batteries are you using and how old?

The original 4ah batteries that came with it

I bought one of these It's very powerful with four torque settings and far cheaper than anything like it here in UK.

 

[Vizslaman]

I ended up buying the DeWalt Brushless 1/2 and so far it does everything I have asked of it.
One of the deciding factors for me was I already have DeWalt batteries

But the £480 combi set is a good price i thought
Best local shop could do was 480 + the dredded

i might be wrong here but if you go to milwaukee's website and have a search for 1/2 impact wrench's youl get 52 variants of one.......
i wouldnt go on price until id do my research on whats the difference between all, the prices vary quite a bit.

This looks like the official Millwaukee site, although I may be wrong.

yes, your right, i wasnt looking too hard tbh, just what i found quick.
it dose look the part tho dosent it.

altho id assume there is as many on the oem site if william is doing it right.
quite possibly different packages of the same tool but even so, there is a lot.
its nearly as bad as metabo is for their grinders.

I’ve just had one delivered by Moore’s after being ordered on miwaukeeonline website. Service was great,arrived next day.
Some tool, we went for the highest torque 1/2” drive. Changing metal on Vaderstad rapid, it didn’t miss a beat, did every bolt without trying.
Only two problems, it’s pretty heavy and would shear new bolts clean off if used on any higher setting than 2 of 4.
Also bought a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter for bigger impact sockets and fetched tractor tyres off without any effort after being done up with big bar.
Ours was £350 plus VAT with 2 5A batteries. They also do 12A batteries but £200 ea.

Whats people’s thoughts on the big makita gun ?

 

[joe soapy]

Whats people’s thoughts on the big makita gun ?

the spare batteries are 3 times the price they need to be, also think what the use it will be put to, if using allday everyday maybe a 4 amp is usefull, otherwise why carry round all that expensive dead weight you probly naver take advantage of

 

[joe soapy]

same with electric cars, all the marketing is towards that magic 300 mile range on a charge, yet for 80%of drivers a 30 mile round trip is an adventure to be planned
