    1 High Value Cordless Impact Wrench for all Drive Sizes

    But the M12 only has about 125ft-lbs torque. I also need it to be able to work on cars, and small engines to include tractors and zero-turn mowers. I am getting the 3/8, for the small size. Snap on's has 30lbs more torque, but whichever of the M18 or the snap is more compact is gonna be my...

    1 High Value Cordless Impact Wrench for all Drive Sizes

    Will do. The Milwaukee's specs are better than IR, and cheaper at 260$ and 200ft-lbs. Great warranty too. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-Fuel-18-Volt-Brushless-Lithium-Ion-3-8-in-Impact-Wrench-Compact-Battery-Kit-2654-22CT/203807309 Now its just down to Milwaukee or snap on. If its...

    1 High Value Cordless Impact Wrench for all Drive Sizes

    Thanks I think I fixed the links. Since I'm working on small engines I'll probably be in tight places a lot, I guess I'll go with a 3/8 impact.

    Any experience with Craftsman's heavy duty impact wrenches? This one is li-ion, has 300ft-lbs torque and is only 160$. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-c3-189-8221-heavy-duty-impact-wrench-kit/p-00945195000P?TecPara=159_4555

    1 High Value Cordless Impact Wrench for all Drive Sizes

    So If I wanted an all-in-one cordless impact wrench, to use with 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2 in. drives; should I get a 3/8" impact and use adapters, since its a step away from 1/4 & 1/2? Or get a 1/2" with adapters for more torque? For mid-price can't really beat the snap-on with sep on value there, only a...

    But looking at the IR 1/2 in. cordless impact wrench, http://www.tooldiscounter.com/ItemDisplay.cfm?lookup=IRAW7150-K2&gclid=CjwKEAiA18mzBRCo1e_-y_KLpXISJACEsANGZwTJpfYM8cLZbKwXpfpp66dKSBfuxLNWWRwr98UdARoC96bw_wcB it has a lot more torque than the snap on 1/2 offers. Theres no difference...

    If GJ were the only tool buyers in America this would be a fact. China's tool market is growing because most people like cheap low quality tools. You might be right though; but what are the chances that tooltopia will stay around longer? Idk about online tool sites much, and I bet noone does...

    Then I think the 43 piece craftsman combination wrenches will do. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-43-pc-standard-and-metric-12-pt/p-00944048000P?prdNo=7&blockNo=7&blockType=G7 I have a set of Husky ignition wrenches already or I'd go with 63 piece set...

    Ill definitely stay away from trucks and their brands for now, but I want at least mid quality. I want to build a set that will excel for at least a year under pro use, and I'll get to use as a backup/road set later on. Only thing is that I do see myself transitioning to Snap-on in the future...

    Lol hell yeah those are great prices. So basically youre saying, for a backup set I should get china or cheap US, whatever is better value and has best warranty. Generally though, whats a better choice between matco/snappy's Taiwan/China stuff, vs cheaper American tools ( Proto, SK...

    I do qualify for SEP on Snap-on and Matco, probably Cman too. It makes a huge difference from what I've checked out.

    I know there's a lot of these threads, but with tool brands getting better or worse/diversified every year I figured the Internet could benefit from this as well as me. So I'm building my credit, and plan on getting lots of snap on tools with sep sometime 2016. But til then, I want practice...
