As in the m12/m18 line being their primary line of cordless tools before something new comes out?
5 years? 10? 15!?
There's so many good sales now but I'm having trouble buying tools I won't use frequently knowing they'll be outdated someday
I'd go for a 3/8 impact since you don't have one. I've got the m12 fuel and that thing is powerfull for it's size. Good on most bolts up to 18mm. To give you an idea itll remove lug nuts on most cars but not always and often struggles.
Just wanna add that if you are going to buy expensive tools on a budget you might want to look into starting out with midlength sockets. Works for more applications than either shallow or deep alone as well as some shallow or deep won't. I use midlength 95% of the time they're my go to sockets...
You sure they weren't 3.0's at HD?
Online/local store is showing a single 5.0 and charger, a single 5.0, or 2 3.0 XC's for 99. The 2 pack of 5.0's is showing 199.
I'm not that familiar with the design of either. Generally speaking, batteries aside, based on the design what will last longer a quality air impact or a quality brushless electric impact?
reviews? Good or bad?
The impact comes out to almost 160 for me after taxes through HD. I'll gladly pay $5 to not have to drive to the store and do a return
