There is a slightly bigger engine available for it and once the beds secured that might be the next thing on the priority list so I've got some confidence in the engine. Scotland might be a little far until some sound-proofing (read covering up gaping holes in the floor) are done first. Although I'd more than happily throw a trailer on the back of the 110 the next time I head up. I do know of a shaper, big vertical mill and big lathe becoming available - unfortunately I've got dibs on them as mine just aren't big enough . I think the Land Rovers would manage them but moving them a few miles on the back-roads of the badlands of Wales is one thing, trying to not get pulled with a severly overweight trailer on a 500 mile trip to Scotland is another .

So if you're potentially interested in selling one (absolutely DO NOT just bung it in the post) then I'd be potentially interested in buying one.

Ed Poore Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Well the very least I can do is if you want something collected or posted down here for me to bring up later you're more than welcome. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks the new workshop will be able to have some stuff moved in so I can have some more storage space. Will also be travelling again to Surrey in the next week or so so could potentially collect / shift stuff enroute. Might be coming back with a trailer but won't be leaving with one probably.

De Ranged Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Ooooo nice, I've considered upgrading to Milwaukee..... just for the strength of there rattle guns, the Milwaukee is almost 50% more than the Hitachi/Hikoki catch is all my stuff is Hitachi so I'd have to buy a whole battery and charger with it... and I have other toys I want first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwards Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'd never had a rattle gun, air or otherwise, but I'd already got a Milwaukee M18 drill and a couple of batteries, so I went for the 1/2 version of this, and I wished I'd done it long before. Awkward jobs, where big torque is needed, crankshaft nuts etc it's just a great piece of kit. I find it particularly useful on rusty, gunged up things - shocks, track rod ends etc. The kind of thing where I'd previously have been lying there working away with a ratchet or ratchet spanner, and they're just off in seconds. Since added the grinder and the multi-tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I've had the high torque 1/2" impact for quite a few years now, between that and the little 1/4" driver I find they cover most eventualities. Kind of been tempted by the 3/8" version for something more compact but don't think it's small enough. Very tempted by the 3/8" extended reach ratchet though for those nuts that are a sod to reach and need lots of winding up and down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use both the M18 and M12 Milwaukee stuff at work.... look at the M12 3/8", another tool in that range that is a go too is the M12 variable speed die grinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Oh if I had the choice I'd probably get one of everything but if I'm honest between the 1/4" hex with adapters and the big 1/2" they do everything I ask of them at the moment. I like the idea of the ratchet one because if I can't get the 1/2" in then chances are the 1/4" isn't going to fit either. It's not so much for doing silly torque stuff, just difficult to access areas where the compactness of the ratchet head will be useful. I seem to recall Rich from Deboss Garage saying if he only got to keep one tool from Milwaukee's line up it would be that one because even if it can't crack off the nut you can use it as a normal ratchet and then wind it off with the motor afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Inspired by this I’ve also been and bought myself some .. Kinder Bueno bars - wow they are fantastic ! Strangely addictive - good job they don’t seem to do them in bigger sizes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
