If the cross bar is only 200mm that's only about the same as the tool you get with the saw. It's only a short plug, if I couldn't get it out with the 350mm bar above I'd wait until I recovered 😄

geekIT:

Thanks for the further comments. Yes, the saw starts - I just wanted to be prepared to remove the plug if I ever decide to check it. And I'm a retired builder, I have several impact drills.

The linked Ryobi could be useful I guess, but the price is more than I want to spend, especially since the pictured unit would also need batteries. I have a couple of Einhell cordless drills and batteries, so I'm good for general cordless drill requirements,

sir1963 and wellygary's comments on the bar torque are interesting. The socket extension bar is around 300mm long but its cross bar is only about 200mm. Maybe if I lashed a 1800mm long waratah stake to the crossbar?

Einhell may be the same as the ozitos at bunnings so have a look if they are and then get the ozito impact - they are quite ok tools for the price.
