I have the previous “biggest” 1/2” impact gun they done, at 1491Nm. We no longer have air tools in the workshop, air is only used for inflating tyres now...

My local tyre guy recons it’s the impact gun that knackers the RR wheel nuts, so always does mine by hand.

wizzy guns are ok for undoing wheel nuts but you should be careful doing nuts up.....remember to use a low torque setting and to finish of with a torque wrench.. |

Mine gets used for timing belts, stripping dashboards, stripping engines etc. It’s effortless. And if you opt for the M18 range, all batteries are interchangeable |

I have the Milwakee radio which as well as being indestructible it also charges the batteries. The jacket is also the business in the winter and uses the 1/4 inch gun battery to power the heated jacket 2015 4.4 AB

They seem to have so many models - which one would make my life easier for suspension bolts? Cheers |

I’d get the same one I did the High Torque 1/2”, they also do a 3/4” with a bit more Torque but that will easily snap M16 bolts if you are not very careful 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |

The new model 1/2" has the same motor ( and subsequently) power of the 3/4" model. 2015 4.4 AB

Stan, the new models from Milwaukee have 4 settings, they link to your phone by Bluetooth and you can change the Torque Settings, speed and trigger sensitivity with the OneKey App for each of the 4 settings - it also lets you track the location of your power tools in case they get nicked, plus a load of other features. They are absolutely brilliant as you can set a dedicated Torque up for several different uses or vehicle wheel nuts. 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |
