Keep an eye on it in case it pushes all the grease back out of the hole straight away - the little spring and ball in the top of the nipple acts as a one way valve to keep the grease in there. Tom

Daleside Welding, Kirkby Lonsdale John Metcalfe, Crook Probably your best bets. Whereabouts South Lakes are you?

Lithium complex grease is exactly that chaps. It can be dyed any colour of the rainbow. There is no difference. What you must watch for is the spec of the grease, not the colour. We stock 12-14 different colours/grades of grease at any point, varying from just over £1/tube to over £20/tube. The point being however, grease and oil are cheaper than steel and if you use a known brand you will certainly get what you pay for.

Fuchs Reiner. There is no other way.

Rottweilers. Big ones.

+1, all good outfits with plenty of experience. You will get sorted between them.

To the best of my knowledge the A-C version was a re-badged Milwaukee, not the other way round. Atlas-Copco bought the Milwaukee Electric Tool Company in 1995 from it's second owner - third if you include the founder. Sold about ten years later to Techtronic who also own AEG and Ryobi. Milwaukee does seem to have hung onto its heritage and quality though.

You mean the impact driver screwy thing or a 1/2" drive impact gun/nut-runner etc? If the latter then they won't look at our Snap-On guns but I must admit they are very good considering the weight, or lack of it.

Milwaukee were sold by Atlas Copco in 2005 I believe. Now owned by Techtronic.

There's only one van. Get a Sprinter.

As plant fitters/fabricators on the road and in the workshop we get through a reasonable amount of cordless power tools and have tried most makes, Hitachi, Bosch, DeWalt, Makita, Metabo, Snap-On etc etc. We currently are on Milwaukee 18v and I must say the drill is the best cordless I have ever used. The power, chuck and build quality are just unreal. The 1/2" impact gun is a fair tool too and the batteries are getting better with use but I think the Snap-On gun still has it licked. Milwaukee drill is just awesome though. We also have cordless grinders from Milwaukee. Good kit.

Does it feel fuel related? Or does it just stop dead when it cuts out?

Thoughts are with you both, may she make a full and swift recovery. Stay strong.

Turret and bolster height probably as critical as anything, along with knuckle projection.

I'd be interested in the tooling if they need re-homing...
