I know we all love the milwaukee one but this is a wicked deal for a gun that has the same performance as the milwaukee and at a wicked price. I might pick this up as this is a huge step up from the basic 18v one that I have.

Pulled the trigger! They have an adaptor so I can use the battery for my old tools too so this works great. Just pissed I didnt get in on the adapter battery deal.

Hey Bryan, any deals on variable temp soldering tools? Seeing as you have a nack for finding these.

Although I love the versatility of my M18 it doesnt have anywhere need the power my IR pneumatic guns do. And is also heavier and bulkier then any of my other guns. But its a great deal for those that occasionally need a 1/2 impact gun.

I will keep my eye out for one and let you know if I find one.
Its definitely not something you see normally.

Yeah it will be at least another two years before I have a compressor able to pump the air for a nice pneumatic gun so for now I am super happy with this.

Will be able to tell you on Tuesday as that's when Amazon says it will arrive.
I have already sold my old impact for a little less than what I paid so very happy camper right now.

So I got it yesterday, feels good in the hand for sure. I like that it has a direction selector instead of rocker as I goofed a few times when using the old one. It's definitely heavier, I have an axle nut I need to get off so going to go grab the socket size I need and see if this will rip it off. It also has speed selector switch which I am very happy about cause this way I can use it to lightly tighten on the wheel nuts than use the torque wrench to get the proper torque. Will report back once I actually use it for something.

Finally took it for a spin. Definitely glad I grabbed it.
It effortlessly took off my lugs (I got a flat so temp switching to summers) and it's fantastic for putting the lugs back on too cause you can set it to speed 1 (there is 3 settings) and it will slowly screw it on so you don't ever torque it.

Thanks for update Bryan.
I use cheap Chicago Electric unit and does the job of removing lug nuts and it also broke loose my axle nuts too.

It uses cheap NiMh battery but somehow works really well. I got my 90$ out of it for sure. Plus i take it to junk yard with rest of my tools and not worry about scratches or accidentally dropping it. Leaving it unattended is not an issue because it's unlikely someone will want to steal it haha

Nice! Yeah I need to grab the socket for the axle nut so I can test this out on that too.
