Electric rattle guns - recommendations please??
PHILIP2908:
Hello All,
Hope you had a good day yesterday. I did and got an Amazon voucher in amongst all the socks and scarves.
I have been thinking about getting an electric rattle gun as I've struggled with rusty nuts on bikes (and cars) since about 1968 - I've rounded more corners than Lewis Hamilton. It will have to deal with hub nuts, clutch centre nuts and wheel bolts.
The questions are:
- Best brand - I want to stick to De Walt, Makita, Ryobi if possible.
- Corded or cordless - I favour a corded one as I don't want yet another battery charger.
- Budget is about £100 - £125.
Any recommendations or advice welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Have a good new year (its got to be better than the last one...)

just a word of warning if you are ordering off the internet in that price range check what drive they have as some have 1/4" hex drives.

I ONLY use Ryobi ONE+ items... I have one battery charger and 3 batteries for Drill, Angle Grinder, 3/8" rattle gun, 1/2" Rattle gun, Jig Saw, sander, and last one (for now) 165mm Circular saw.
I also have garden tools that use the same 18v battery system.
We get 6 years warranty here on the skins at least, not sure on the battery.
So far I havent had an oz of trouble and I have given them all a pretty decent workout. Not sure how pricing stacks up between Aus and UK but I find the Ryobi gear to be excellent value for money.

Normally I too rather stick to brand MFGs, but at the price of € 39.90,- a thing from LIDL jumped on me...
Turns out that this Parkside item beats my air-powered rattler by far...
the lock-nut of a '96 ST1100 clutch-basked was open within the fraction of a second... same on loosening the damper bolts on a CX500...
If only used occasionally those knock-offs will serve OK, but I see issues with (battery) comparability, lifetime and of course support on spares later on...
