garages undoing wheels with rechargeable drills
went to a fast fit brake type place at weekend
i was amazed to see instead of using air lines they used a rechargeable drill, it got the wheel on and off in no time.
the spanner jockey reckons they are 320 quid each

Unless you order it from the states...in which case they are $400 
That's a £200 mark-up, robbing barstewards
(we actually kicked out our local snap-on-van-man. All he wanted to do was sell new stuff...couldn't give a stuff if anything he sold broke or needed spares 
We now have a MAC-van-man
