Thread: Battery socket driver?

I have a set of socket (1/4 - 3/8 - 1/2) to 6mm hex adapters. I use those in either an impact driver or battery drill to twirl sockets when I'm away from my pneumatic ratchets.

I have a 1/2 and 3/8 adapters with a 6mm hex shank that can be used in my small battery drill. Used it today for example spinning off and spinning up nuts when replacing shocks on the 110. Do the initial loosen and final tighten with hand tools and the same sockets. Even used it for the wheel nuts.

AEG sub-compact drill / driver combo set with 2 2Ah batteries, charger and another battery cost me about 250 last year at the green shed with the P/pass.These things are a joy to use.

For cjust spinning nuts the driver is great. Just use quality hex to 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 square .drives. I use P&N.

I have the bigger versions of these tools and they've done a heap of heavy work with no real issues.

I have about 8 batteries, mostly over 6yo, only one that's a bit suss, most are 6Ah.

The sub=compacts get used heaps more than the bigger ones now. A bit like chainsaws................. I have a big old stihl, but I use an 017 way more often.

TTI own AEG and Milwaulke.................. and I think still owns half of TTI.

cheers, DL

I'm doing some work at a fab shop at the moment and the owner has a huge set of these sub-compacts. Everything from right angle drill to die grinder. His are Milwaukee, but same same. I have to say they're an absolute revelation. Wish I could justify a set myself.
