I'm probably getting my terms mixed up. I mean a simple socket wrench. I...just put it in reverse. It gives a bit more leverage, especially for people with arthritis etc. I see nowt wrong in that, ive used em on stuborn bolts loads. Works a treat

here you said it lol

I never told him to put it in reverse. You asked about that.

And who cares lol, no offfense, this is a little tedious. I have a wrench, it clicks tight one way, and switch the lever and it undoes bolts. Simples.

He swears by it round the house.

Thank You Lambert, what an excellent suggestion!

However, (don't you just hate those) at over $300 local dollars, Its one for the wish list. :(

Maybe its time for Suzuki's Free Roadside Assistance they gave me last week!


I don't know what the exchange rate is but HOW MUCH! The one I got dad didn't set me back a hundred quid. Although I suppose if you needed batteries? There's other alternative options than Makita that don't command the premium and are perfectly serviceable for a bit of DIY work.

I got dad a 251z and lend him a battery which I charge for him as needed. I also have had good results using Amazon and getting there warehouse used ones. Effectively they are things that people have sent back because of damaged packaging or something, they test them and punt them for a decent discount. My combi drill is from there and so is my chop saw. Also have a look at brands like ryobi or even store brand ones, loads cheaper and for occasional use perfectly adequate.
