Very nice! Do you have a lot of other Makita kit?

Me too, been waiting for a new Makita to come out for a while as the old one had rather poor specs. Saw that recently, looks rather nice! Doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere yet though

Yes, I part own a small building firm and still work hands-on quite a bit. Loads of 18v Makita gear, all of which is fantastic especially with the 5ah batteries.

Bragging rights

Nah i just love tool talk.

For some daft reason Milwaukee underrated their gun, it's closer to 1220nm fastening 1700nm nut busting as a guy on YouTube tested it on a skidmore.

I finally got around to purchasing one of these, it is awesome!. Undid a transit front hub nut (450nm) like it was finger tight

The battery life is excellent with the 5ah batteries. It is rather heavy though, nearly as heavy as my old c.p. air gun

Got one too, also finding it very good - albeit haven't used it for much yet!
