Cordless 1/2" Impact Driver

I'v got an 18v Milwaukee and have been abusing it for over 7 years. Just getting nicely run in. It's so easy taking wheels off that sometimes I do it just so as to hose the mud off the underside of the car. So well worth having. I like the Milwaukee 18v batteries too. They seem to have used the same battery fitting for years, so they've very interchangeable. Unlike De Walt who changed their fitting a while ago. However, you can get adaptors so as to fit Milwaukee batteries to other brands of cordless power tools, and they don't 'arf go!

We use Milwaukee 1/2’’ and 3/4’’ drive M18 at work and they are excellent, expensive but you never have good tools if you don’t buy good tools. Slowly renewing my own cordless tools with Milwaukee now.

Milwaukee's are great but I prefer DeWalt tools.

I have 3 dewalts , the big 899 which i seldom use and a medium one which i do use a lot , Also a baby one which doubles up as a driver , i put a driver adaptor on for screws and is used the most of them all . How did i live without them , they make life so much easier so its really working out what you will use it for the most . Or go stupid and buy all 3 sizes as i did .

Yes, they're good.

Better than good, bloody brilliant.

For work use, get a quality make
For diy any of the cheapies will do, dewalt are pretty cheap, and seem to have some decent grunt.

Any of the 1/2 ones are real weapons, but simply to big for most car stuff.

3/8 one with a decent selection of sockets/torx/allen keys is a real time saver, 4 prop bolts 30 secs max, by hand you cant do one in 30 seconds.

I bought the 899 a few weeks ago, £179 in a TStak without charger, £52 for the 5.0 battery, done what I want it to do so far.

I've got a dewalt, not sure which model it is but it's bloody useless. It won't crack my landy wheel nuts and if I use it to do them up, I have to give them a half turn with a wheel brace.

I think one of these could be more use, yet to buy one but looks like it could get in more places.

I'm really tempted to get one of those. Pity DeWalt doesn't do one so I can use the batteries I already have.

Milwaukee do one and i have batterys that fit

One of the you tube guys (diagnosedan) who shows how to read fault codes and find the fault uses a 1/4 drive one and often has the bits apart while he's still talking, it seems to say a lot of time.

I went with this one:-
