    Just the basics
    Aside from Packout I've become interested in Milwaukee tools. Mainly for use around the house but also would be good to have a driver of some sort in my truck. Question is this, if I get a combo kit should I get impact drivers and/or impact wrench or hammer drill? And what size is recommended? I know I want an M18 for the power and ability to use certain other Milwaukee tools such as the inverter and compressor.

    Not that kind of vessels pressure vessels lol. I did construction for years and worked in a fab shop for a while. Then late in my career I worked in maintenance at a plant in Rock hill that no longer exists we could have done a better job apparently o_O

    Awesome. My good friend was a welder over there from Summerville? Anyhow he's now the Supervisor of the weld school on SUB BASE Kings Bay.

    For work around the home and on the truck, at least need a drill for house and impact wrench for the truck. Would highly recommend also getting a impact driver since its good for both.
    I do not do large home projects so I dont need the power of m18, I am a auto mechanic though, I have fuel m12 drill and impact driver for around the home and its enough power, for mechanic work I have both m12 stubby and m18 mid and high torque impact wrenches. My brother did home construction for a few years and he bought the m18 fuel drill and impact driver, damn those have a fuckload more power then my m12 tools, but they do also weigh about 3 times as much.

    To work on your truck the best starter impact wrench is the m18 mid torque impact wrench, big/stuck bolts require the high torque impact wrench but I use the m12 stubby impact wrench more.

    Ace Hardware is having a sale on some of the Milwaukee tools. It's a buy this and add a something for free. HD is having a similar sale, but I believe Ace has some better deals.

    There's this 3/8" compact impact with an option for two free 6Ah batteries. Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3/8 in. Cordless Brushless Compact Impact Wrench Tool Only - Ace Hardware
    Pole pruner, extension, battery and charger with a free add on attachment for $499. Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2825-21PS 10 in. 18 V Battery Pole Saw Kit (Battery & Charger) - Ace Hardware

    No issues with kickback on top handle saw? I’ve never used a top handle so just curious.
