    Steven,

    If you can wait until tomorrow, I can take a look and see what I can do for you on a Milwaukee impact. I’m a distributor for the brand. I may or may not be able to get as low as you need it to be, but I can get it as low as possible. We are actually kicking off a sales blitz with them tomorrow, so I’ll have their guys available to see what can be arranged. The Milwaukee guys are extremely helpful and easy to work with. They actually gave me a over a thousand dollars worth of tools to give away at my event this past Friday.

    Beautiful job on those boulders! Not a very nice looking rig but a mechanical beauty nonetheless and with the agility of a goat and the purr of a large cougar - content in its world. So what is it a GM-powered Tundra?

    And the point being...? Don't wander off point? :threadjacked: Desk bound and insomnia, makes for a rambling man. :sorry:

    Well since we’re overflowing with free tools to give away, I’d like to reserve a spot in line for the 3/8” Mid-torque 2852 (tool only). Thanks ahead of time.

    I would never use a 1/4" impact driver/wrench for automotive work. Fasteners that small typically have small torque specs. The only time I can think of using it would be to drive screws into wood. There's just no need for it on the automotive side. 3/8" .... maybe? When you're using an impact wrench though you're typically dealing with really high torque spec'd fasteners, which are 1/2", so you need something with a lot of oompf. 150lbs is really weak (I'm guessing it's a driver, not a wrench) so make sure whatever you buy is a 'high torque' version.

    BTW, Dewalt makes fine products. I've been using them for well over a decade w/o any issues. Here's their impact wrench:

    Jason - Bossman...Thanks for the offer but I have already settled a deal for the Ryobi at a price I can manage well. I also had to spring for a red wagon this month, the one with the wooden side rails, so I can take my 5 yo grandson down to the river with me. So I am tapped for now. What extra cash I am holding on to now is for an ABS scanner should one appear.

    Jason - OKC...Sorry, didn't mean to trash your Dewalts, and know that they are indeed better than many others. Although I have never owned one, I have owned its parent - ole B&D. In fact, when I had my Milwaukee sawsall stolen from a job site I had to replace it in a hurry and it turned out the only one available was a Black & Decker. I still have it and use it on occasion still. Oh, its about 31 years old. Speaks to longevity for sure.:sawzall:

    Jeez, you guys are good at spending my money.
    I just jumped on that recon 1/2" impact posted on page 1.

    If you can't afford cordless get a corded one. I use my corded for wheels as the 3/8" I wasn't sure if she'd have the power.
    the downside of corded is the things huge.

    Any chance of a Milwaukee impact group buy? I have been in the market for a cordless impact as well.

    Milwaukee is kind of different in how they do things. While they will on occasion drop a price, 90% of the time they prefer to give free goods. (Buy this, get this free kind of deals.) It’s generally not junk they give away either. They do some pretty nice promotions.

    I’ll have to check tomorrow to see what the current offering for this sales blitz is.

    They also have a trade in program that’s pretty nice. Bring an old broken Dewalt, Ryobi, etc in, get $100.00 off a new one.

    Yes, but for what was available on Amazon that wasn't over the top and sorta on budget with the ridgid, that was only one I thought looked decent. And the fact that it has a pretty cool chuck on it caught my eye.

    Im also skeptical about how companies rate their products. Kinda like 24 volt vs 18 volts. They are the same thing. 24v is just the max rating of an 18v battery pack.

    Good battery power impact wrenches is a limited market ATM, but its starting to open up with more competition.

    Well in the spirit of trade, might they want to make a tender trade for a well used and fully operational Milwaukee worm drive saw, circa 1981, for an impact wrench? The big, ole 7-1/4", 15amp worm drive circular saw that would beat the pants off any SkilSaw, anyday of the week?:duel: I would trade dear, though. I am the original owner and can honestly say this saw has been around. From Alaska, to Washington state, to California and Arizona - building dreams and keeping boats afloat. It might very well be the million mile equivalent in circular saws! :oldglory:

    The fine print states one (1) cordless tool with (2) batteries equals $100 off.

    I did some quick math and the $100 off on the Milwaukee site equates to about $50 off if one went through Big Gurl from Brasil.

    The Milwaukee site prices are higher than Big Gurl generally speaking.

    The Milwaukee deal is good if you have loose kits laying around. All my ni-cad stuff died years ago.

    They usually don’t even ask for the tool we took as trade in. I guess it depends on where you do it at.

    Lol, I've never burned a motor on my Dewalt impact driver and I've put it thru far worse than they did. Not sure what was going on there. That being said, my finishing carpenter neighbor has switched to using Ryobi tools. He's used Milwaukee, Makita, & Dewalt (still has them all), but keeps using his Ryobi products and keeps buying more. Who would've thunk it?

    Milwaukee is the best of the best and my preferred brand when I was a carpenter. My first boss out of carpenter school as I served my apprenticeship, was a Milwaukee guy. Everything to include his shop-vac was Milwaukee. Oh he had a few SkilSaws, but when he got to the larger timbers it became an all Milwaukee game. Heavier and more powerful by far, the Milwaukee worm drives far outclassed the SkilSaws that most contractors were using. I had more confidence in them because of the extra power and the unlikely chance they would bind and kickback. His drills and drivers, his big boxy Holesaw, all Milwaukee red. Spoiled me to the point that I bought my own early in my apprenticeship and used it instead of the ones supplied by my boss. My favorite, though, was the 1/2" hammer drill that I bought and used to drill into concrete. It was so cool, to me, seeing how easy in would drill into the concrete and with very little vibration flowing into your arms as it drilled away - smooth, unbelievably smooth and powerful. It got stolen, also, in a home invasion. The thieves sure liked the red, they know a premiere piece of machinery when they came across it, unfortunately.:ballchain:

    ColoradoTJ...Is that you in the boulder garden, doing the near vertical? Impressive, whoever. Like the trials bikes, doing the impossible.:bikewhoops:

    Thank you for the visual. Do you have a thread that explains the vehicle, what it is, etc.?:anonymous: Crawling, doing the impossible and moving beyond speed, that is my type of 4 wheeling though I am only an observer and not a participant. Some scary schit at times, how you keep from falling over, rolling, etc. Beautiful sound coming from your rig, smooth and clear.:popcorn:

    Oh my. I can sense the feathers a rus'len' as thou hast angered the old timers most sacred skilsaw 77.

    You're a brave man.

    On topic, I saw a preview on the YouTube just a but ago and they had a Tekton 1/2 impact wrench 24v on. For those who aren't familiar with Tekton, they are a smaller company that is focused more towards online sales. They make really good tools. Like really nice.

    They are a mechanics hand tool company that has a large portion of their tools made in the states. Those that aren't are slowly being brought over too.

    My point, if they release their impact wrench soon, it will be inline with the big brand offerings spec wise and should be cheaper in price. Life time warranty on all current tools, no questions asked. Just take a picture and they mail you a replacement.

    Good company that not enough ppl know of.

    I think the guy with the dewalt was covering the vents on the back of the impact with his left hand. Good chance that's why it went up in smoke.

    I've never seen any impact driver do that before from any brand. I've seen and used almost all of them for extended periods of time and full day work loads. Normally its the transistor on the trigger that over heats and fails.

    I'm kinda shocked to see that happen.

    If you're on a budget I wouldn't knock the harbor freight stuff or the ryobi stuff ryobi makes some good stuff. I know Milwaukee makes better impacts than dewalt. If you're just getting into it id look at Milwaukee. But I'm a die hard dewalt guy all I got is yellow. I beat the hell out of my 1/4 inch impacts and my half inch day in and out and they keep working I even got one smoking and it works fine. My 1/2 inch dewalt gets dragged through the mud and snow and everything else and works great.

    All I'd really say is go for whatever platform you're already on alot better to have more Batteries but that's my opinion.

    More like a truthful man. As I recall the Milwaukee is a 15amp saw whereas the SkilSaw is 12amps. My 15amp saw would eat their 12amp saw for lunch, happened all the time. Like I said, when we went to cutting the larger dimensional lumber we would put the SkilSaws away and break out the Milwaukees. Sure the SkilSaws had their following and there were more of them, but I never knew of our Milwaukees going in for repairs like the SkilSaws did. And I never knew of one kicking back like the SkilSaws frequently did when handled carelessly. I attribute it to the increase in weight of the Milwaukee and its extra power, it just tracked better through the cut and didn't jam up like the lighter saw. And boy could she cut - I don't recall ever bogging down in any material that I would cut, whereas the SkilSaws would bog often.

    The one drawback of the Milwaukee was that you had to strengthen your forearms to handle the saw well. On the job you would typically cut using one hand to hold the saw and the other the material, and the extra weight wore many a guy out early that wasn't conditioned to it. You sort of developed Popeye forearms after a while. And strong wrists from holding that sucker throughout the day. I, of course, no longer have those forearms, yet I still would pass on the SkilSaws simply because ole big red was so much safer to use IMHO.

    Do you have existing power tools? If so, I recommend sticking with them so you don't have to buy more batteries, or chargers etc.

    If you're looking to upgrade, the rigid is actually a pretty decent tool set. However, Milwaukee is where it's at if budget was there.

    I had all my battery powered tools stolen along with my Milwaukee hammer drill, several hundred yards of 7/16" synthetic rope which I used to pull trees down by the roots, pulleys, hand winches, jacks of various sizes, a seemingly endless list of possessions gone in a flash. And no one saw anything seeing how I live in a forested area. Authorities believe two truckloads would have been needed to empty my cabin out. :fenforcer: Anyway...

    I spent yesterday taking advantage of the Home Depot's Ryobi Days Sale and purchased their 1/2" impact wrench with the 4Ah battery @300 ft/lbs torque. I then purchased their twin 3Ah battery pack and choosing their 3/8" right angle drill as the freebie. Yes, they are consumer grade but affordable. I'm now set with the power tools for the moment, as my needs are strictly for my tinkering around the Tundra and not for any serious work requiring professional quality gear. I just think I am too old to retool everything in first class gear, too much money. The loss of the synthetic rope, was very disheartening, that stuff is incredibly expensive, at over $2 thousand invested (takes a lot of rope and pulleys to pull down 32" diameter maples - roots and all). All in all I am happy with my purchases, I stayed within my budget while picking up another set of batteries that meet my needs, and I didn't have to shop China's merchants to do it. With the little savings I had left, I visited Harbor Freight and picked up some impact sockets and adapters on sale. I'm now set.

    Thanks for the tips, insights, and such. Having members as a sounding board, in addition to the suggestions, is very helpful and made for a quick resolution of the matter in my estimation.:hattip:

    I agree with you. I always found I funny that the skill likes to claim it built america.

    For those who are interested, Milwaukee and Ryobi are both owned by TI industry. I'd imagine there is a bit of trickle down tech that ryobi uses.

    Makita is still the reigning cordless champion overall though.
