Abarth Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Does anyone know where to get a cheap one locally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCADTA Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Ive got an 18v dewalt one, theyre real handy but not to cheap (bless work ). Hitachi makes a good one too, think mine does upto 110nm. Id get a good one though, reckon a smaller one would be frustrating. Just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abarth Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yeah had a look on trademe, they are pretty expensive. I will only be using it on the odd occasion, so a Dewalt one maybe a bit wasted on me. There is tonnes of smaller ones on ebay UK which are perfect, but none here.

Unclejake Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Cheap battery powered tools are FTL. I have a 19.2V(?) medium priced one that is very good. Cost about $390 I think. I am not certain what you think is expensive though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiemk Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 for that price would it not be cheaper to by a small compressor and run a pneumatic one?for that price would it not be cheaper to buy a small compressor and run a pneumatic one? /a bit off topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 ^ I would not have thought so. A`powerfull pnuematic rattle gun uses HEAPS of air so you would beed a decent compressor. Since I bought the battery rattle gun I never use the pnuematic one. Convenience etc. means the cordless unit gets all the work. I think mine is branded Techway and it is the same to look at as other average brands such as Kingchrome. Mine is years old - I expect they aree cheaper now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abarth Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Cheap battery powered tools are FTL. Yeah true, maybe there is a reason no one sells them here. The one that I am after has a cord with cilps so it can cilp on to a car battery for power. I might just have to wait for a cordless 2nd hand one on Trademe.

Unclejake Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Secondhand electrical stuff on TM is nearly always pwnt in my experience. I wont ever buy used electrcial stuff from TM anymore unless it is seriously old and awesome (like 40 year` old english drillpresses etc.) as I got fried a few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCADTA Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 All depends what hes using it for i guess, ideal for changing wheels, havent used a wheel brace for a while Personally i would buy a descent brand name, you get what you pay for, and the cheap brands have cheap batteries that dont hold a charge and crap componentry that craps out.

Abarth Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 No doubt its shit quality, but for the amount of times I am going to use it it should be sweet. They get the nut off the end of a scooter engines crankshaft without turning the whole shaft. Such a shit job to do if you don't have an impact wrench.
