My last cheap air impact died a few years back and I bought a replacement at the time. I don't think I've actually used it yet. Despite the name, it wasn't very expensive. It is the bottom of their model range and Screwfix used to sell them for not very much money.[/QUOTE]
With that Metabo impact gun, don’t use WD40 to oil it ...... I did and it dissolved the air seal in the trigger mechanism. I rang Metabo to get a replacement & they don’t supply seals for that model, apparently it was supplied as a special to Screwfix. I ended up buying a kit of seals for the next one up the range & the seal I needed was the same, cost a tenner for the kit & there was only the one part that fitted, a rubber seal worth about 20 pence! Good rattle gun though.
