Calling all Impact Wrench users!

I swear by mine. had it three years " makita btw251 ". its saved a lit of rsi on my wrists and its a lot faster, especially when you get job and knock.
 
I have a panasonic 14.4v scaffolding wrench 3 torque settings 26kn low just nipped 50kn tied off medium industry standard to tie a fitting and 200kn when a fitting is seized I would never go back to a spanner very very light battery lasts 3-5 hours depending on use fully charged in 30 mins this is a scaffolding impact gun not for taking car wheels off make a slow scaff fast and a fast scaff lightning
 
Its slightly heavier gary, but the batts last a little longer and they have a indicator on them so you know how much life you got left.
 
Spot on mate had it 7 months been back once which was just 2 days to I received it back and that's 6/7 days use all day I battery easily last 4 hours for a 20 minute charge all the lads here got hilti
 
Anyone know of a socket that comes with a pin to hold it on please?
 
Any makita socket mate, but i would go for the stubby socket as the longer the socket the more strain you put on the anvil at the end.
Sockets are available off ebay.

As said Makita do one but the pins do snap .made my own pin out of a nail just put gaffer tape round the out side to keep pin in place a nail is much stronger than a pin
 
Cheers for that. My drill got covered in bulk release and the socket just keeps falling off!
 
I used a nut and bolt for mine, then put a spot weld on the nut to hold it in place and put a bit of black gaffa tape just as precaution.
 
Pins, nails , bolts :eek: isnt the little ball bearing on the gun good enough to hold the socket on or am i doing it all wrong :wondering:
