    I have it and I’m a fan. Making greasing easier means it gets done more often (at least for me).

    This was my free tool with the purchase of 2 5.0 batts. Didnt need any of the other free tools as I had everything else that they had for that promo.

    My shit is all stock.
    I have one of these. I dig it.

    Just a quick note about it. It will overinflate whatever you’re blowing up by a pound or two and then bleed off to the target pressure. Give it a chance to do that. I thought that there was something wrong with it at first. But, after watching it do its thing, it’s fine.

    I have the smaller compressor that they sell as well. It does not do that. It just inflates until target pressure is reached and then cuts off.

    I didn't think about using it yet. I should have hooked up to my tire and gave it a test. I may do that now, well not right now but tomorrow.
    I also got the 3/8 impact. Needed one wanted one so I got one.

    I absolutely love mine. We take it everywhere and use it a lot more than I ever expected.

    I had the m12 one and now the m18 - top notch in my book. If it had a high volume mode, it would be perfect but not a dealbreaker.

    I absolutely love mine but other people here are very unimpressed with theirs. The biggest thing I would note is to keep in mind its not as strong as even the m12 stubby impact(which is also amazing), you could think of it as a m12 ratchet with impact force if you wanted. I use the 90 degree impact for times when there is no way to get a impact on a bolt without removing lots of other parts, for example I worked at a ford dealership when a 2020 mustang front lower forward control arm recall came out, to remove one of the bolts you had to remove the front bumper if you wanted to use a impact and had very very little swing if you used a ratchet with the bumper installed, I would break the bolt loose with my 2 foot long 1/2 drive ratchet and then slip the 90 degree impact in and zip the bolt out and back in easy as pie(then torque the bolt down when at ride height with). A electric or air ratchets did not have enough force to keep loosening the bolt but the 90 degree impact was perfect. For jobs like that it is invaluable but I admit since that recall is largely done I use it maybe three times a week working 8-10 hours days, its like my big ass Ingersoll 1/2 impact which I rarely use(maybe once a week) but when its needed nothing else will do.

    Absolutely the m12 stubby is awe inspiring, planning on buying the gen 2 version soon.

    i've been using this instead

    it has more speed and torque than my off-brand cordless ratchet, and that's really all i need. lots of situations for me where i can use a right angle adapter with a standard impact, but that's just a pain. it's nice to have it all in one tool that i don't need two hands for.

    Christmas gifts to myself. M12 Bandfile and M12 XC 3.0 2 pack. The Bandfile was offered with a free M12 CP 2.5. But since I knew of the XC 3.0 deal ($50 off) and I have 3 CP 2.5s, I used a discount code to get the Bandfile discounted and opted out of the free CP 2.5. First use with the Bandfile was touching up my mower blades (JD 54D). No need to remove blades from deck and worked like a charm. I figure I can get away with this method 3 or 4 times before I have to remove blades to check balance.

    I've thought about one of those. Just not sure what I need it for. I have a jig for my mower blades so I would have to find another use for it. Lol

    Picked up a M12 1.6gal Wet/Dry vac tonight from my Local HD. No screaming deal but I am happy with it. Looking forward to not dragging the 6gal craftsman around for small jobs.
