Not forgetting that a 4% error on 20Nm is just 0.8Nm.
Indeed. - The lower the Nm (eg. some type of sparkplug need to be torque set and the sensitiveness. But 4% is certainly sufficient for many applications. The facom stuff my dad used was pretty expensive .. at that time in Deutschmarks 4 digit.

I don't buy many cheap tools but for the amount of concrete/brick work drilling/chiselling I do this comes in about right at £90 including new bits.
Has replaced an ancient one.

I bought the same one for drilling 110mm core holes in brickwork and concrete blocks when altering bathrooms , it did the job but burnt it out. Still worked out cheaper than hiring the kit including round trip for collection and delivery.

Did you find it needed greasing at any stage?

No I didn’t😳. Maybe the lack of greasing is what caused it’s demise 🤔
mine has a top hatch that takes standard lithium grease. says chuck some in after every 5 hours operation.

I fully expect it to burn out after some heavu use though.

Is that greasing the machine or the bits?

I have just bought a "special tool" 😉 to open the battery/fuse cover.
@DCPU, now it will soon go on. (y)
It is unbelievable that this is needed at all. The covers should be able to be removed quickly without tools.
With my cover, this will soon be possible.

I think there are other applications for this very flat BIT ratchet with 1/4" and 5/16" output.

Certainly looks better than the other option

Can you reverse the drive without swapping ends? My mistake was winding the bolt out until the tool got jammed with the height restriction, and my ratchet wasn't reversible.

I've been looking a these bit driver kits, so I take your recommendation to be for a reversible ratchet?

Yes, you can reverse the drive with a small switch. (1/4", 5/16")

If anyone feels they are missing out on the utilitarian, cost-effective functionality of an Opinel pocket knife but have yet to get one and would be interested in a bespoke version (damascus blade, special wood handle) for around £250/£300 for a No:8 blade my son would entertain commissions. It does make a great present but is perhaps no longer cheap albeit (for the amount of time needing to put in to create the knife) it is good value!
