Been a member for a while but never posted but I just needed to tell you don't waste your money on this.

I purchased the above impact a few years back charged it up, put it on a wheel nut and to my shock horror, couldn't remove it! Specs are a joke, I reckon it does a true 120NM on a full charge, not 260NM as they quote.

But for your needs, it may be sufficient, but don't expect much. The thing is loud too, the impacts make your ears ring.

I have 3 makita impacts now, and I love them.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it. That's disappointing about the wheel nut as that would be one of the main reasons I'd buy the drill. There are a couple of youtube videos using the drill on wheel nuts and it looks so easy that the drill powers through them.
