    Also forgot to mention, one thing I do like about the handheld battery gun over air, is I will take it with me when ever going to a shop and just do my nuts up myself, so it will be alot easier with that. Once I have all of the nuts done up with the m18, it should mean no issues whatsoever with getting them off. Cheers

    Yes, the high output batteries will make a little difference in overall torque. Last tire I changed on the side of the road, a fully charged 5ah wouldn’t break loose a couple of the nuts. I was about to break out the breaker bar, when I thought I’d try my spare 12ah battery. The 12ah battery broke them loose.

    You're so on the money. I love the cordless impact. I wish I had it when I did rigging and machinery moving/hauling.

    I just bought a few Chinesium 3/4 drive tools to use on my red impact. Tracking down adapters to either go down to 1/2 or up to 1 is a pain. Now I got a decent metric deep well set and some extensions for under $100.
