Which impact wrench for wheel nuts etc?

[Chippy]

Which impact wrench would everyone recommend for day to day jobs such as cubicle bolts or tractor wheel nuts? Which have lifetime guarantees?

 

[RWG Contracts]

Milwaukee every time

Doesn't have a lifetime guarantee though

 

[Lincs Lass]

Dont think any brand has a lifetime guarantee ,,have you got any cordless tools of a brand now or is it going to be a complete purchase of tool,batteries and charger

 

[Lincs Lass]

Ill be slightly biased and say Makita ,,only because all my stuff if is 18v lxt

Milwaukee fuel range pigneys sell them
I think 2 yr warranty on batterys
3 yr on gun its self
Mines an animal would be lost without it

I would not think an 18 volt tool would be man enough for most wheel nuts.

Yeah they're still going, send the odd one for repair but not that often really.

The makita stuff is all dead, all three batteries have failed now. Need to take them back and get them replaced now. Poor display from something 2 month old really

My mate here had a Milwaukee fuel gun and it's not much cop really. It's very weak and been back twice and still crud so he's binned it. I gather it's not a fair representation of Milwaukee gear but I thought I'd put it out there that they are not invincible.

Wants to take it back and really kick off. My experience with Milwaukee is they'll sort it for him. I had a problem with a 3/4 year old machine and they couldn't find the fault with it and finally they rebuilt it completely, came back a nearly new machine

Millwaukee, you have to tread carefully not to snap things.

Yes you have to be carfull there is a few versions of milwaukee in 1/2" format read the specs to make sure your wanting the high power one

I bought a draper 1/2 drive and it's been brilliant, came with 2 18v batteries and charger. Cheaper than Milwaukee and done 3 years with no bother at all!!
