Saves hours stripping stuff down!

Has your gun gone gutless in this cold spell??? Mine used to be able to rattle off crank pulley bolts with ease, now it cant remove wheelnuts, and charges in like 5 mins, where as before charged in hour or so....im hoping its the charger/battery being effected from the cold.....

You feel like an animal when in charge of a 1" impact gun, im never a fan of having to hold the spanner on the other end of the bolt! 18v snap on gun definately the best/ most used toy though
