I have a couple of Hitachi 12v units that I use as nut runners all the time. Torque available depends on state of charge of the battery. Bigger nuts/bolts such as wheel nuts, flywheel bolts etc I always crack with a power bar first. I always finally tighten up with a torque wrench or spanner.

Invaluable in speeding up servicing during rally service breaks and in the pits at race meetings. Also for general workshop use.

Cheers
