I would second this. I LOVE my AWP050, it replaced the SK that I bought in college (and also loved, this was before SK went to...)
I recently purchased the Mac AWP050M, which is the mini version of the original. I work full time in a busy shop and own absolutely zero battery-powered tools. In the past 2 months since I bought the mini, I've only had to grab the big brother 3 times. Once for a Honda crank pulley bolt, once for a subframe bolt that ended up needing a huge breaker bar, and once for an extremely rusty axle nut. Besides that, the mini has handled absolutely EVERYTHING. It even fits between the radiator and crank pulley on Subaru's! No more using the breaker bar-and-starter trick. There's 4 tech's in my shop, and as of this week every one of us has purchased the mini. I guess I started a trend.
As an added bonus, I noticed an IMMEDIATE reduction in hand fatigue due to the even better balance and lighter weight of the "M" vs. the full size. At $299.99 with a 2 year warranty, it was a no brainer.
