I have just used a rattle gun for the first time in my life , had to remove a ktm clutch (no holding tool) it is a 2017 model so it was at factory torque with nut lock ,
what an amazing bit of kit , span it off with ease , I don't know how I would have managed with out it . If I never use it again it is worth the £70 for this job alone

Yeah they are great! Front sprocket nuts come off so easily, not even in gear. Great for stripping engines down too!
Watch you don't accidentally set it to tighten. I stripped a disk bolt doing that!

I bought one about 18 months ago, but not had cause to use it yet. Look forward to doing so now.

I have an air operated gun, but I’m looking at investing in an electric one - they’re capable of some big torque figures nowadays!. Cheers bezzer

Cheers bezzer it is battery , got it off ebay , along with 5 impact socket for £70 , I think it is 350 nm (or 250) but it span that clutch nut off so easily , I tried it on my car wheel nuts , they flew off as well

Cheers for the info Doddy, 250-350 nm is pretty righteous in my book!. Average car wheel nuts are around 125/150 nm so will easily cope with them too.

Had mine years, got it from Aldi, works off the compressor and always works a treat.

Bought, mine an electric wall plug type.. 12 ~15 yrs ago. Quickly became an essential tool. Make sure the Impact socket used is of decent enough quality, so that it properly fits the intended nut. Sounds odd.. but may simply don't.. makers/vendors are often content with saying "impact" in the brochure babble and only that. Crap ones will otherwise quickly beat the nut to death. Yeah I've done it :-)

I don't like using them on bikes, but yesterday i changed some clutch plates on a DR 500 and had nothing to hold the clutch with. So also put the rattle gun on it. They are a very handy tool when used in the correct circumstances. Mine is an air powered dinosaur capable of over 200 nm.

Ergo an electric type for moto use... Far less powerful / Brutal.

Not tried the electric one I just bought, it claims 350 nm
Was going to buy a battery one but then realised it would not be used often so the batteries would suffer
