Milwaukee for me, had it 2-3 years now and been faultless apart form when a bit of plastic got stuck in the valve from a cartridge.

I've got the 3/4 makita impact which Milwaukee do an equivalent the one in you're link is higher torque but not by a lot. What i can say is they are v v good but no where near the air impact gun my tyre fitter turns up with.Praise indeed

Got their 1/2" onekey impact wrench seems decent quality. Has built in GPS and can lock the tool via the app. Although has to be near someone with the onekey app activated to lock or show GPS if you haven't already locked the toolPraise indeed

Yeah was one the key points when was looking to replace the bits the scum took. Not a massive amount of the range is onekey and it's been around a while but would be nice for more of the range and more manufacturers doing something similar.Like, seen it but not tried that.

Whether it's hackable I have no idea but my impact drill and wrench are always set to lock when put back in the box

It's a bit of a gimmick imho it's not like an immobiliser on a car or digger which means you can't move it they can still pick your drill up and take it so you still lose it. Yeah so if they can't hack they can't use it but neither can you ffs.

Maybe, but if there's two tools on site one with it one without which will they nick? I get it's maybe a gimmick but need every bit u can imo.

Nothing stopping them taking them, but if someone sends it off to be repaired it just goes back to the registered keeper as you can set it to lost or stolen

Reviving an old thread, but thought this was worth sharing.
Makita finally released the proper battery grease gun a few moths ago and I bought a couple. Honestly they’ve sat in the shed until last week when I finally got round to putting a cartridge in one and giving it a go. I put G Couplers on them both, for anyone doing the same they are M10 and not BSP, just for reference.
First impression was, it is a bit of an arse to get the cartridge in the barrel fully (enough to screw it in) without getting in a bit of a muddle, but once you know what’s going on then it’s ok. In operation it works brilliantly, very fast and if you really want a battery grease gun and run the Makita platform then it’s a good bit of kit.
BUT the joy soon turns to frustration and anger once you need to get an empty cartridge out of the barrel! Maybe not all cartridges are the same? But of the two brands I’ve got, both have small ridges around the end, I’ve noticed them before, no idea what the purpose of them is? I assume they are intended to keep the cartridge from sliding into the barrel, but every gun I’ve ever used let’s them go in past the end regardless. But whatever they are for, they are there. Anyway, once you get a cartridge in the Makita gun and screw it in, the cartridge gets pushed fully into the barrel. Due to what I can only assume is a manufacturing oversight, the cartridge gets pushed past a tiny ridge/lip around the edge of the barrel and it’s is a total PITA to get out! Cartridges can sometimes be a pain to get out at the best of times on any gun and messy too if your not careful, but this is just feckin ridiculous!
So......my advice for anyone choosing the new Makita battery grease gun, do it, it’s excellent, BUT before you get a cartridge anywhere near it, trim that bloody lip off from round the edge of the barrel! Five minutes with a de-burring tool and I had it sorted on the second gun, but I wish I’d have know that before I put the grease in the first gun!
Sorry, I’d trimmed it out before I though of taking a pic
