Rattle Gun

[Ross J]

Wow, I've just bought a rattle gun for my air compressor. What a difference to my garage workshop. The ease of removing sometimes rusty nuts or bolts is awesome. <br />I know, you guys have likely got one but this really brings out the "boy in the man" syndrome in me!<br />My brother has already booked it to do his trailer.<br />Ross

Re: Rattle Gun

Re: Rattle Gun

Sorry Wannabeboater, <br />It's a matter of our different style of the english language. <br />I guess they are the same, it looks a bit like a big drill and uses compressed air. It impact drives nuts and/or bolts off or on up to 250lbs torque.<br />Is that the same?<br />Ross

Congradutations Ross. Now I Know what all the noise was coming out of Auckland.It was Ross taking his wifes tyres on & off all weekend.I bought a 3/4'' drive to get the wheels of my truck. If you jump of the ground when you pull the trigger on the rattlegun you can do 4 x 360 spins B4 you hit the ground again.But I can't land on my feet yet. Mike Paengaroa Bay of Plenty.

Re: Rattle Gun

Hello Mike from the BOP. It's always nice to meet another Kiwi on this board. It's great isn't it?<br /><br />12 footer LOL!<br /><br />Yep I've had a few uses for the new "toy" as my wife calls it. Boy it made mincemeat of the old tractor bolts yesterday. It's a project for a mates beach house! Gotta love these devices that make life easier. Since I'm left a wee bit weaker in health I've needed a bit of a hand at some things and this makes me feel capable of anything again.<br />Ross

Ross J<br /><br />Be careful if using your "rattle gun" with wheel lug nuts.<br /><br />I had some tire store oaf tighten my car lug nuts like it was a Mack truck.<br /><br />Not only were they so tight they warped the brake rotors, they were also too tight to remove with the lug wrench, which was all I had, 50 miles from the nearest service station.<br /><br />Enjoy.

Re: Rattle Gun

Hi Ross. Spotted 4 Kiwis so far.Ham,Inv,Auck and Bop. I've learn't so much on this forum in two weeks about motors, the knowledge base is awsome.<br />I fish the area around Motiti Island mostly which takes me over the Kaituna bar. Somedays its a kitten and others it will claw you to death. I fully respect it though. Sorry your health is a concern. Boatings the cure.
