If you already have 18V Makita stuff this is a bargain. 440Nm currently £185 on Amazon.
Comfortably does wheel nuts, flywheel bolts etc. Was invaluable when I did my new clutch and
Defender to Disco transfer box ratio swop.

Just spent 9 months doing a m51 Sherman tank restoration using a Milwaukee 18v 1/2 drive there was nothing it wouldn't undo

So am I. Have always used Ingersoll pneumatics. Trouble we had was the wind down time on an electric gun made them too slow to use, but the Milwaukee is instant stop so we can rattle off hundreds of bolts as fast as pneumatic. Trouble is estimating torque. We're looking for 60-80nm mostly. The Ingersoll pneumatic usually checked at around 130 with a torque wrench. The Milwaukee squashes the steel together and within a fraction of a second winds up hundreds of torques. It'll also take my lorry's wheel nuts off which are around 600lbft. We also have the lightweight half inch version but its a bit slow on anything over m10. They have a new mid power version which we are going to get. Hopefully it will be perfect for tightening and the big gun will just get used for take down
 
I thought they were about £450 with charger and 2 batteries. £170 for naked tool. You don't get a compressor with a pneumatic gun ;)
Ours seem to be lasting. We've got 3. one per squad since August last year doing crash barrier. Not killed one yet
 
I finally got myself one, Makita 285. Really impressed for the first week, now its got a horrible high pitched noise and is going back! Im guessing ive got a lemon...

Not sure how i lived withouy one before tbh haha
 
Still happy with my Kielder.....LOL.
Not sure how it compares with the Makita 285 tho.

Cheers

Only went with Makita as im damn impressed with their combi drill, been using that to get nuts off quick and cracking off by hand + uses the same battery! Makes a £250 tool £150!
