    Lol! Don't become an electrician then. I use my arms, back, and knees. And, I stand and walk on concrete all day. Plumbers and sprinkler guys make the most $$.

    Ha-I meant to remove the lug nuts. Plumber... not sure at this late in life I want to take that on. I am thinking a reinvention that has me sitting on a beach with a drink in hand AND getting paid sounds pretty good...

    Well, if you only want to buy 1 impact, I'd recommend the mid-torque M18. Should have no problem with lugnuts, but still reasonably sized.

    By the hour, probably not. I think they only do really well when they travel and work overtime.

    The sprinkler guy I was working with last year was making over $120K without OT.

    The mid torque m18 is awesome.

    the right angle impact is hand too, but it’s not super powerful

    I've used a 1/2 M18 torque on my lugs before. Works great and the Milwaukee stuff holds up really well

    Test fitted the fitment on the new rims on the truck today. Should be good with clearance with the upper control arm. I may need to invest in some new mud flaps because they stick out a tad bit further than I Thought. Also took off those little mud flap lookin things that are in front of the tires
    yes I know the truck needs a wash I will do that this weekend these past couple days with this weather we've been having has been hard on the cleanliness
