    Based on pricing, this is a winner.

    Thanks!

    Electric ratchets and impacts have come along ways. My 1/2" impact is a known wrist snapper if you don't turn down the power, heck my 3/8" impact could do the same if I'm not careful haha.

    I've got on board air that lives in the truck, AND a CO2 set up that now stays in the garage. I've got a full assortment of name brand commercial grade air tools (that also stays in the garage now days) Rechargeable impacts not only match, they often exceed the capabilities of air tools. Less trouble and less crap to carry on/in truck.... An air powered tool is only as good as the air source. Hard use requires a decent size compressor.

    Batteries fit a number of tools I frequently pack for trips. So....Better performance, easier to use, takes up less space, and less overall weight. No reason NOT to use battery impacts. Just buy a GOOD one.

    Yeah there’s some shit ones out there. The best ones are pricey that’s why I just stick with corded (and a portable generator).

    Just replaced an old drill with this one, hard to beat, 10amps, 1200rpm, made in USA, can be found for about $100

    I'd blow the studs right off my truck's hub if I didn't drop it down to the low power setting. Accidentally left it on high and snapped a 5/16ths or so grade 8 in half.

    I agree, the electric tools are really really torquy nowadays. I remember when the 12V drills and impacts was the rave. Now 18V is the standard with upgrades to 28V and 30V with some manufacturers. Too much for me to be honest. The 18V drills and impacts will do MOST of your work without struggling :thumbsup: 20 years in commercial/industrial construction I'm happy with the 18V electric tools :thumbsup:

    Yup, I'd second that. I have a
    $85 Milwaukee M18 Cordless Lithium-Ion 6-1/2" Circular Saw - 2630-20 - ( MILWAUKEE ) - BARE TOOL
    Milwaukee M18 1/2" Mid torque impact, a crazy flashlight and a drill. I have 2 5ah batteries to go with them. I never run out of juice.

    The problem with electric is you buy one and a battery, get a 2nd tool and a battery and boom! You're hooked!
    Now I'm looking at an M18 angle grinder, a ratchet and all kinds of other things.

    Edit: I just bought that M18 angle grinder. The addiction continues.
