new bit of kit

[Mazza]

bought a decent bit of kit online yesterday and it arrived today ….

One Milwaukee nugger gun

variable settings from ‘ snap your finger ‘ to break your wrist

a max torque of 2065Nm.

Got it to do some work on my sons Subaru in Norfolk this weekend. A 4 day break, at a fishing lodge on the broads. and a weekend comprising of a couple of gigs ( not me), a couple of days fishing, and working on the car.

But I wont be leaving the new toy with my son or I’ll never see it again !!!!

Should have bought one about 4 years ago but better late than never.

One of my favourite tools the nugga. Another for low torque fasteners and the lazy, me being one, but does save some time.

I bought a cordless drill from the well known Chinese retailer site Temu for £2.99

Its very rarely used but when I find a screw that er needs screwing I go out to the smart carry case and take it out and of course the battery has depleated to zero. So then I have to charge it up for two hours while staring at the screw which annoys me to the point I just get a screwdriver out and do it by hand. This then leaves me with a fully charged cordless drill that I don't need that will slowly depleat until the point I need to use it again.

When you look at these tools there are actually loads to chose from , very confusing !!!! so after I found this one, and to make it was ok, checked with Lee first

Ah it's a well known but poorly documented fact that if you don't rev the tool at least twice before you use it, preferably in both directions, It wont work next time you go to use it...

a max torque of 2065Nm.

Presumably that was a typo...265Nm maybe?

Milwaukee seem to be making everything lately, or at least putting their name to it. Not sure of the brand, as it was a 'cheap' brand when I was buying tools for work 10+ years ago. Makita and Bosch (blue not green) have always been my 'go to' brands.

Although Panasonic did make the best cordless drills about 35 years ago. Never see them anymore.

I have had so many decent power tools stolen over the years (from working on building sites with thieving arseholes), I gave up buying quality stuff for a long time.

Holy Dooley, thats a lot of torque irrespective of the typo. I certainly would not want it on my nuts,
