You sir/ma'am, ****! Congrats!!!

84t all the way

I just have a weird love of ratchets and sockets so I always end up using those if I can. Wrenches are my back up and then ratcheting wrenches last.

Any more news on this?

I have the Ridgid Gen 5x cordless impact (450 ft ibs) and I so far I really like it. I actually sold my Milwaukee impact (rated at the same 450 ft ibs) and went with Ridgid. One of the cool features is that it has a setting that automatically stops tightening when the impact begins to hammer so...

That's what's confusing to me. The old Gen 5x is rated at 450 ft ibs (it doesn't say anything about fastening vs. breakaway torque) and the new one is divided up between fastening (485 ft ibs) and breakaway torque (620 ft ibs).

I got the Maxilink ML629 and like it a lot! I believe I paid a little more than a hundred bucks for...

My dad has that vise. It's freaking awesome! Nice score!

I have the Ridgid 1/2" impact and love it. I agree that it won't do everything but it does most things extremely well. If you're looking for total power, Milwaukee high torque and HF Earthquake is the way to go. But for 99% of my DIY uses, Ridgid is perfect.
