JustBashIt Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Thinking of getting an electric screwdriver type thing to use when stripping the Baja? Preferably with some bits too (Allen keys etc) what do u guys use ? Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan_bench10 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I use a lidl one not the best but does the job in hand and comes wit all bits needed lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMaxxDave Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 No electric for me. Its just lazy IMO and no risk of stripping bits. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I have a Bosch ixo and it's spot on for undoing bead locks, although I wouldn't recommend using it for tightening up screws or bolts, it's always better to get a "feel" by hand in my opinion......

Noj Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Agreed Gaz.... Power drivers can be handy for quick disassembley, hands for reassembly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJJ Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 EDS hex bits and a macallister power driver has served me very well for a number of years. It is very useful but as above I also hand tighten a lot, even beadlock screws. You can feel it pinch up, makes a lot of difference at times and saves headaches.

Sharkfat78 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 DDM bits (you get a couple of suitable handles so can use it to crank down if you have to) And for a driver in the field I use my Bosch IXO and for home I use so 10.4v grey and black thing from B&Q. Its got a 'P' logo on it but I can't remember the name. Has torque settings which are bang on. I use it on 2 for plastics and 3 for anything metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(-:AD:-) Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Second the makita stuff, use it day in day out at work and its fantastic. Not a big fan of the new makita 18v stuff. Seen too many fail. Hence why I tried milwaukee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I tried milwaukee Pretty much all of us use theyre 18v stuff at work on the sites and touch wood not heard of any failures so far. Did have a look at the milwaukee stuff myself but ended up going with makita, heard good things about milwaukee though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyP Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I never used a driver or drill before but I got a Savage and that has lots of + head screws. I don't have a driver so used 18v DeWalt I have and worked fine. Dismantled the Savage in no time. Will see what it's like reassembling it to find the right torque setting.
