Is it nearly payday already? Gonna be a tight one this month
All good insight though, thanks!
With grease and sealants though, i seem to see multiple types used during a job. Would a basic all purpose grease and gasket sealant be ok or do specific jobs needs different ones depending on what it is and what its used on?

have to say the farm have a dewalt one and then we had an option on some smaller milwalkee ones at the right price and we all bought them..

got more power than dewalt and fits in smaller spaces and can set the torque for 4 different settings, super bit of kit..

mine is covered in oil in last post on my thread on one job leads to another..

toolbox looks nice i am thinking of some lower wheeeled section for mine as it is a pain keep pulling it out of shed etc..or moving it round workshop

that’s an extremely good price and at least u know it will last

funny enough i just ordered a small air wrench , with all the suspension / turbo, ARB, etc , work i’ve got coming up i know i won’t be able to get the full size air wrench in a lot of places

thought for the money and nothing special , will be ideal for those hard to get to places and also comes with different torque adjustment

would never use one for tightening bolts etc , always use a torque wrench

small powerful 3/16 impact gun and long handle ratchet,is what you want,youll just bash your hands with the air rachets

gstuart said:

have got a more powerful impact gun but simply won’t go in there, agree ref a longer bar but will rip the hell out of my back and got to be very careful because of all the pins and plates i’ve got

jamesmartin said:

tightening bolts is their better function as any torque is felt in your hand

jamesmartin said:

well a air ratchet is pointless then, get a smaller impact gun it has hammer action,your ratchet is pure torque through your hand

gstuart said:

the torque wrench i got is about 2 foot long , always worried me using an air gun for tightening , ie snapping bolts off

gstuart said:

thks, did have a look earlier , all i found was the larger impact guns , admit though i was only looking on ebay

jamesmartin said:

tightening isnt the issue,that can be done with a ratchet or bar,its the undoing

jamesmartin said:

an impact gun uses a hammer action an air ratchet uses straight twisting torque against your hand but suddenly
