Anyone bought a cheap cordless impact gun off ebay.
I'm away from my windy tools and have some heavy duty nutting to undo!
Looking for any recommendations >£40
When I was in Portimao recently, they needed to change the front sprocket on the GSXR1000 I was riding.
Out came the Makita 18v impact jobby.
Wow, it came off easy. I need my 18" bar for the job when I do it.

Unfortunately doesn't quite come within my budgeting constraints!

If you are spending 40 quid expect 250 to 300Nm no matter what the advert says. I have two what are claimed 540Nm. Probably closer to 300Nm max. They do take abuse mind as one i use a lot and is coming up for three years old.

It's for a top strut bolt.
It's either buy a specialized kit for @£60, or get a leccy dugga for £40 which will come in far more use. The one I'm looking is Makita battery compatible.......which maybe means some new/sh DIY kit coming my way!
There's a method in my madness!

Cant quite remember for sure but i did two steering bearings on my van and i am sure i used the cheap one. Once you have the pressure of the bearing it should not be that tight, well that may depend on who did the last bearing.
What about a Torque Multiplier. This may depend on the footing. Great also for in the boot of the car when the garage rattles your wheels up to not fucking budging tight

Not "purchases", per se..... but on Sunday I picked up a few things from my Dad's old workshop....
These Draper socket sets were always in disarray when my Dad was working on something... but even after what must be at least 40 years now... there's only 3 sockets missing from the 3/8" set! (the 9,12,14 mm sockets and a couple of extensions)
The 1/2" set is complete.
A load of taps and dies : mostly imperial, but there were a few metrics as well
And this:
it weighs a metric fuckton.... empty!
This is probably why:
The only reason I grabbed it is because the missus wants it for her leatherworking tools.
I've still got and use the exact 1/2" set, bought it off the wife's catalogue (that most women used to run, Janet Frazer and Freemans etc.) told her it would be useful for jobs around the house lol
King Dick was the brand supplier to all dockyards/naval bases, I still have them all that were supplied during my Shipwright Apprenticeship.
