An old chestNUT

Don't forget the factor of 9.8 m/s/s for gravity when you are
translating them kg weights into newtons.

I think you dropped a dismal point there, 'cos apart from anything
else that's two orders of magnitude.

"A bucket of prop-wash" is the standard aviation equivalent.

 

what is the real term for a "rattle gun" - compressed air socket
driver?

 

Impact driver, isn't it? Different to a plain socket driver.

When it reaches the set torque, it "rattles", hence the name.

 

Air impact gun, although air impact wrench seems common

thanks (and to Eddie too).

 

I am sure it is coincidence, but I note that some of the Clarke DIY
range compressors are 'Champ' models. Is there something we should know?

Pneumatic impact driver.

 

Mine's electric.

 

There's always one.

 

Mine's a pint, ta.

 

You can get some rather nice cordless impact drivers which shift a lot
of stubborn fasteners but they're not cheap.

 

Mine's an 18 volt Dewalt with a 1/4" chuck. It works great for the stuff
[1] I use it for. I doubt it would do much on heavy jobs. I see Dewalt
now has a 36 volt line.

[1] Unistrut, conduit straps, assembling breaker panels.

 

*proud*

 

I'd be happy to buy a few if I ever get back over there.

 

We have 'champ' car racing here.

 

That doesn't appear to be a problem around here.

 

Those little blue, diamond-shaped pills are working, then?

 

Don't need those, mate. The little pink one's rock though.
