Picked Up the DeWalt Mid Range Impact

[Fringe]

This would give me another 5 Amp hr battery to use with my other Dewalt stuff.

pull the trigger then!

Makita XWT08Z you won’t ever have a problem busting anything loose ever again. Absolute beast.

Way too big and heavy to be really useful for automotive work. The XWT18Z is more than powerful enough for almost every job and much smaller and lighter, a much more useful tool.

Adjusted what?

I sold my dewalt mid torque, the milwaukee m12 fuel replaced it 95% of the time the other 5% i just grab the big dcf899 model.

IF I wrenched everyday having all 3 would be fine but after not touching it for 4 months.. decided to let it go.

Get a good ROI on it?

I have the Mid torque model and like it. My use is production equipment mainly(palletizers, augers, baggers, forklifts, trucks and trailers) and I also use it on the farm and for caging air brakes when necessary. Most of what I ask of it is 5/8” bolts and smaller. I have a compressor on the truck and a 2235 I can pull out if needed but the Dewalt sure is handy.

Since I paid 160 with 2 5ah batteries and sold it tool only for 125$. Not too bad.

I have the 1/2" drive Milwaukee mid-torque impact. I like it, works great for home car repairs

any reason you went with Mil over Dewalt?

Best price at the time from Home Depot IIRC. I'm sure any would work for general shade-tree mechanic maintenance

For most the decision starts with what is your cordless tool strategy. If you already have a bunch of DeWalt 20V tools then this would be a good choice. But if you have a bunch of Milwaukee M18 tools already then stick with Milwaukee.


If you have no cordless tools then look over what tools each company manufactures and see what you might want down the road.

Why are we being presented with a random tool video?

Some commentary about why would be nice.

Are you just trying to promote your own video? Are you just bored and this is one video on youtube?

Is there pizza involved? I love pizza.

Frankly it seems pretty stupid to already have a competent impact wrench then buy another one for ideological reasons. I mean if it fit in a much tighter space, there's that, or if you don't have any impact wrench yet and only want to buy as much as you need, then there's that, but in this case, seems like someone with more money than common sense.

I do think this size and impact force makes more sense for the majority of tasks the average home gamer would need, but there's always going to be someone who paid more for more torque and insists that is what everyone should have.

Personally, I don't care much for the Stanley B&D pricing model on their batteries, The size and torque costs more than it should in this already established Li-Ion battery format, and now common brushless tool universe. It seems like this is something SB&D had to think a lot about to decide how much to degrade, or keep the same, their newer craftsman line with this torque.

In the end, I am not at all a fan of overpriced batteries. Marketing nonsense aside, I know what battery (cells) cost in bulk and they're reaming customers.

Something is very wrong, when I view my reply it is strung together text instead of formatted, then when I quite it, formatting comes back. Someone, please fix this.

Enough.

Bickering I've had to remove.
