A while back there was a thread on battery-powered nut drivers people use
for spinning lugnuts off and on at events. Several brands and models were
mentioned.
Gee, I'd like to have one of those, thought I, and I showed my bride the
e-mails. She went to Sears. Under the tree was a Craftsman 18.0-volt
cordless 3/8-inch Drill/Driver model 9/11305.
Uh, it's a drill/SCREWdriver, not a nut driver. It has a chuck for taking
drill bits, and a couple of screwdriver attachments. Doesn't have a
3/8-drive boss (nor accessory) to accept a socket. Yes, she specifically
told the salesman I wanted it for doing lugnuts. Salesman said this was the
tool. Wrong!
Took it back to Sears. "Gee, I don't think they make that," says the
salesman. "Can't find it in the catalog," says a different salesman, and the
catalog was not only Craftsman, but also Makita, Porter Cable, and several
other brands.
Soooo ... those of you that have such a tool -- what is it?!?!?
Brand? Model Number? Voltage? Spare Battery?
I want to trade this for the right tool, but obviously I need to tell the
salesman what the right tool is because he is as clueless as I am right now.
