Greetings,

Just quick reminder if I may, wear safety glasses and ONLY ever use hexagon impact sockets with an impact gun as standard sockets can shatter :shock:

I also prefer impact sockets because they do not tend to attract the 'magpie' looking for shiny things.

TTFN

Hugh.

we bought the biggest one from Machine Mart that will run off a 13A supply--runs air tools fine including an air saw, die grinder, mirka polisher etc. For a ratchet gun we have a BIG DeWalt Li Ion one--and that shifts anything, the air one is ok but the battery job is much more useful being portable.
I just use a 3M set of noise cancelling ear defenders with built in radio (or will plug into an Ipod etc)--bought from Newark auto jumble at about 12 quid--no questions asked--brand new, as were a lot of other useful consumables on the stand--we run air sanders as well.
