Fair enough, I didnt see the bundles, didnt come up searching for the code.
The "Sold by Amazon" items are not going to be fakes, they will be genuine.

There is only one rule rule with Milwaukee gear, it has to be the Fuel versions.

Sure I will. It was indicated as dispatched 32mins after I placed the order so hopefully it'll be here on Tuesday or Wednesday. It'll be getting a good work-out this week once it arrives that's for sure.

Glad to hear it.
That paid for itself the day I bought mine.
If a pipe bursts on the back actor of a 3cx you cannot move the arm to release the clamps to replace the pipe. That wiggled in and did them. You’ll find loads of uses now you have it. I know I did.
Pleased it’s useful

Blasting out 20mm bolts today. It obviously doesn't have nearly the thump of the heavy duty Makita impacts but it's rattling off standard torque M20's where I cannot get the impact in.
What I really wanted it for is running off the nuts on bolts that have got rusted so much you need a spanner to wind the nut right off. This was losing me too much time with the load suspended on the crane.
So yeah, it's doing a good job.
Pete.

Well, this finally gave up after 8 months of gruelling everyday use. Thankfully, it packed up on the day we got the last bit of steel down so it did it's job and is due a rest I'd say.
Gotta say I'm impressed with this little tool it's un-done thousands of M20 nuts and bolts over 8 months. Apart from someone stealing one of the batteries the only issue it's had is that it's done so much work and battery-swapping the casing was starting to wear at the retaining clip for the batteries, and occasionally you'd have to re-seat the battery as it would lose contact. But I would class that as wear and tear rather than a design issue as this tool has done a hell of a lot of work.
No, what killed it is the gearbox in the head has seized. I'm surprised it didn't happen long ago, this tool is not designed for M20 construction steel bolts. Overall I'm mightily pleased and in normal used I'd expect it to last a very long time. Have to say the socket retention system is damn good too, it holds even 30mm sockets very well unlike the makita friction-ring which were'nt man enough to stop the heavy socket falling off.

I know for the ratchets they said its designed for access so making it M18 would make it too big thus negating the accessibility side of things.
Possibly they apply the same principle to the "tight access" ratchets. Although in this situation something harder hitting would be beneficial.
