Thats interesting. I had a look at the Makita but wasn't sure about the quality.

A group buy could be worth looking in to: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/7-MAKITA-18-VOLT-BT...#ht_1143wt_1165

Works out at around $228 for the unit (no battery or accessories).

These are the Australian version with about half as much power as the Makita BTW450 model. I checked these out and my impact screw driver drill has more torque than this model.

I have both, I find that the Air powered rattle gun is better for daily duties in term of reliabilities and durability, eg. If you work in a workshop i would go the Air powered rattle gun and if you work at home then I'd rather the Battery powered rattle gun

It seems like all of the brands are decent, some probably better than others.

Has anyone tried the KTC Impact Wrench? I'm having trouble finding a KTC supplier in Aus. Could order one from Japan, but I'd like to try one out to compare to the Snap On/Dewalt/Makita etc

ive tried 3 cordless rattle guns (hitachi, bosch, Makita all JUNK) my current one ive had for 4 years and use it everyday. Its a 18v snap on item and is the best one around, its damn expensive but is spot on. It comes with 2 batterys and i only have to swap it once or twice a week

i have a few air guns (GP, bluepoint and snap on and again the snap on / bluepoint one is hard to beat)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
