nubco (not sure if they are nation wide or just in tassie?) have Hitachi on special..
its only failed me once, yesterday, trying to get a the bolt of a harmonic balancer at slydars. had to go to the backup breaker bar i brought.
does a whole car worth of wheel nuts once or twice, leave it in the garage for 2 weeks, then it does it again, and again etc, i cant even remember where the charger is, came with 2 batteries. works well.

we use hitachi at work (i work at a paper mill) and use them all day every day in worst conditions and haven't had one fail yet.
what evry brand you choose they are worth there weight in gold
where u guys ordering your trade quip ones ? bursons down the road just quoted me $395 for it people been saying you can get them for $260 so dont think il be going there anytime soon, can someone shed some light ?
so AUTOBARN has a ROK 450nm 24v impact wrench for $250 bux!
now this is an ebay type brand and their 18v wrench only had 120nm at $170 which is just shit house so i have no idea how they made the 24v so much better.
who wants to buy one and give feed back

well I have my modified Dewalt running now and it leaves my air powered gun for dead. I am actually worried it's too much and it will start ripping my sockets to peices.
Might any of you guys know how these portable guns go in terms of life? like before the rattle mechinism or something else wears out?

Sam, is there anything in your garage that is as it came?
i really think you need to be working for nasa or some shit
hahahha! errrr hmmm ahhh, nothing readily comes to mind apart from some hand tools and some electric tools. it's not like I do it out for the sake of it, it's just that I end up improving things when I see something I don't like. Anyway here is the same battery pack that I use for my impact gun as it sits in my drill, I know it's rough but works great:
5A/h and gives a whole lot more torque than original

thats useful, good work.
i see thats a 18v impact drill? not a impact wrench
i use my 18v drill with a socket extension which makes it useful on already cracked bolts.
the sale at autobarn finish's on the 10th of this month, might go down and see if i can test it out on my wheels.
I have an impact wrench that the this pack clips into also, I was a bit vauge in my description. When I use it it makes my wheel nuts fly off like they where done up finger tight when they where at 90Nm, is that normal?
