HD should have them on display, mine do. Once you get a feel for what size/power you want then order online from places like Acme, International Tool, Tool Nut, CPO, etc when they have specials.

I pretty much never buy Milwaukee cordless stuff from HD, this yr's Bf was the first time.

 

Thats what I thought. My wifes car burns oil like crazy from getting stuff trapped in the intake. So much so that if you step on the gas hard you can blow smoke out the back sometimes. I've thought of putting one on her car but I always hesitate to. I never thought of doing it for a taco. Mine seems to run pretty clean from what I saw on my valve gasket job.

 

My local HD only had the 3/8 mid torque on display. Only 200-ish ft-lbs. The kit I linked was 600 ft-lbs.

 

Are you already on the Milwaukee platform? If not check out other brands too if you only want an impact. Makita's are good as are the Ingersol Rand cordless impacts. I've been on the Milwaukee platform for a while so it makes more sense for me to stick with Milwaukee cause of the batteries. Well I do like the selection of tools they offer too.

 

I’m sold on Milwaukee. DeWalt is nice but I’ve hear they have issues. Milwaukee is what I prefer because of all the tools they Have. I’d buy Milwaukee solely because of that neat soldering iron they have.

 

200 ft lbs is the Compact. Mid Torque is 450 ft/lbs, 600 ft/lbs peak. Mid Torque is about the size of a 1/2 air impact, well slightly bigger. The High Torque is huge & heavy!

 

Anyone want a wire from a Titan II Missile silo?

 

This os just my work stuff. I have more at home

 

HD and in orange box? Tool store?

 

Only tool store around here charges 30% markup from Home Depot

 

I have insider info

 

Milwa-Gate. Nice.

 

Wym I work for the company

 

Oh I was making a watergate joke haha.

What kind of impact wrench would you recommend?

 

Milwaukee are good but you’ll pay out the ass. Black Friday deals were good tho

 

Air?

 

Wat, I meant in the Milwaukee line. I’ve got a good air impact at home. I need an electric for junkyard and mobile use.

 

I remember when one partially exploded. That was a hell of a mess that could have been very very bad..
