Dunno... had such machines in the service van for years, winter or summer, and the batteries never failed me... heat was more of an issue (HVAC)...
Made a good deal on a Bosch Professional 18V set consisting of GDX 18V-200 (rattler, 1/4 & 1/2") and GSR 18V-55 (drill) incl. 2x 4Ah Li-Ion batteries and charger...
However, the GDX 18V-200 can "only" handle 200 Nm, so for heavy stuff like a clutch basket lock-nut I too have a mains power unit handling 500 Nm...
And for small stuff, like stubborn carb bowl screws a little GDR 12V-105 (1/4")... but would first give my Vessel Megadora impact screwdrivers a go...
Yeah... I guess I'm a tool addict... ???
OTOH good to be prepared for all eventualities...

I rate the Clarke products, they do spares for them.
I bought one of their pressure washers about 30 plus years ago - still going strong had to have a replacement lance about 5 years ago.

I've had one of the small red Clarke parts washers for over 20 years Ted and it gets used and abused on a regular basis. The motor gave up during the summer. A new pump actually costs more than a new complete parts washer but at least you can still buy the spares I guess. I bought a new parts washer from eBay for half the price of the Clarke unit the only difference being the eBay item was blue and not Clarke red otherwise exactly the same. All was good until I switched it on, the pump is so powerful the cleaning fluid bounces off the cleaning tray and all over the floor! I need to find a way of turning the motor down.
Bloggs:
If you want to reduce the flow add a orifice 'plate' into the pipe work.
Possibly a metal disk between the pump outlet and the pipe, drill hole in centre to suit required flow. i.e. start small and increase until you have the flow required.
Just bought a 'SGS' version in black, cheapest I could find, same as all the others apart from colour! Added a hose mounted 'brush' from machine mart and also needed to reduce the flow or all the cleaning fluid would be on the floor!
