@Chuckster in NJ did you get the M18 1/2” drive impact? Or the stubby M12 impact?

I got the 1/2” M12 stubby for $144ish:



I know you the cheapest, son of a ***** on this site, so I trust your cheap *** skills, but just making sure 🤣🤣🤣.
I purchased the M18 1/2” Impact…….. NOT the stubby.

BTW! I am not the cheapest SOB here…… I am a "cheaper than cheap" SOB! :beer:

Not sure that this is a great deal, but I needed a portable fan, and have M18 batteries available, so I took a chance on the M18 Packout Jobsite Fan, 0818-20. $129 ("was $149") at HD and other places...

Ran it for 2 hours (at the speed setting shown in the pics) on a full 5.0 battery today, still had 4 LEDs showing when done.

We used this at a youth baseball game (in mid-80s temps, in full sun, but under a popup tent), did a decent job moving air. It's pretty bulky considering it only has a 7-inch fan blade diameter, and it would be better if it could be easily hung upside down.

I'm hoping to be able to use it in the RV at night as well (hoping it's quiet enough). It has a 120-volt AC inlet, but I most often camp without connecting to utilities.

I took a peek at the larger M18 Fuel fan (0821-20), which at 18 inches is HUGE (for my purposes), and a bunch more money ($269). I might buy one with a 20% off (or better) deal.

Follow-up review...

I'm SO glad I bought this thing!

I've been using it a lot over the past two weeks, in the RV. I

Last week, I was working on some plumbing, and cleaning out mouse nests in some compartments, on pretty hot days (windows open due to the mouse odor, so no AC). Got that cleaned up (and bleached!), and ran the fan on high for many hours over multiple days, and I only needed to charge the 5 Ah battery once.

I've been sleeping in there this week, and running the fan on low-medium (for 6+ hours a night), and haven't used much battery at all.

I keep forgetting to plug it into electricity to make sure that works properly.

The only three things I'd improve is:

1. Make it oscillating.

2. Build in a charger, so when it's plugged into electricity, you can charge a battery while running the fan.

3. Make the base smaller.
