    Is 3/8" Pneumatic Impact Still Relevant?

    its relevant but the category isnt as big as other category's like the 1/2 high torque impacts, and day by day people are buying less and less 3/8ths pneumatic impacts and buying cordless 3/8ths impacts like the m12 milwuakee stubby, m18 milwaukee mid tourque, snap on ct761, dewalt DCF932B

    Cordless ratchet recommendations

    i love the my Milwaukee 3/8" fuel high speed. im in the autobody trade so i dont need the power that maybe some of you guys need but its quick so its good when you need to take off a bumper or fender. if i needed power i would go with a snap on they are just slow and expensive.
