They came out within months of each other

AP said they are brining a new one to SEMA

The ICON is 90-tooth and one of the cheapest so that's you top bet there. Otherwise, they'll recalibrate your Matco pretty cheap as well, at least mine was

I've always like STR's methods simply because it's more relatable. But he should worry about being pushed into obscurity with these numbers. Last year he was testing 1" impacts and showing 2,300 ft-lbs. Now he's getting mid 2,000's with 1/2" impacts. If that's true, why ever watch another...

Can't say I was really referring to HF at all, but don't disagree

Correct, Apple doesnt make phones, but people consider them Apple phones and if they got worse or better it would be due to Apple's decision making. I think a more fitting name for the thread would be "tool brands"

I think they already mentioned making one or a prototype but that the flex joint is still normal size of a 3/8" so eliminates a lot of the size advantage. Tekton again using 1/4" torque limits, can use a 1/4" flex joint.

Plus AP has 1/4" and 1/2" models as well. But agreed. I think they said more models will be at SEMA?

Pros: It's small, very much like a 1/4" ratchet size wise. Not a tiny 1/4", but smaller (mainly thinner) than the AP Nano ratchet bodies. Cons: Same strength as their 1/4" ratchet, so 1/3 the normal 3/8" drive torque. Meaning it wont replace your daily 3/8", and probably why they arent available...

Well when your goal posts are matching air power with a tool 1.5-2X the size, yeah that's an easy win for cordless. game over. But air impacts like these match mid-torque sizes more than high torque sizes these days, so I'd say cordless still has some ways to go.

This says it fits all of them https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JBNOZWK/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I think that was when discussing traditional huge body size 3/4" impacts, not larger lines in general which they did use on the 3/4" Thor

With a 3/8" airline and 1/4" hi flow fitting on the 1/2" G2. I bet 1/2" line 3/8" NPT Hi Flo closes the gap given the new air motor is hungrier, or makes them pretty close

Agreed, and yet there's a design and utility patent on them nonetheless since it seems no one put those things together before. Milwaukee changing the numbers of cells in their lithium battery pack to 5 to make it 18V and securing a patent for that seems even less defendable and yet here we all...

When can we get pinless deep sockets?

That 401K looks like the smaller .401 shank air hammer Eric O. of South Main Auto has been using for almost a year now

I'm the opposite, i'd rather have 1 button. Less things to accidently hit, or press, or go bad. I'd love mine to double press to turn on both sides. One switch It remembers your dimming setting each time you turn it on, so I dont find myself spending much time playing with the thing as is.

It's gotta be nice to be both the person to design a tool and be the person designing and knowing all along how it's going to be tested against your competition in your own video. Not that it's obviously not tough.

I don't know how you guys do it. I've gone through 3 M18 XC5.0's (the screws just pull out and the halves separate) and 2 M12 batteries (the batts fall out of tools) in the last year alone. In that same time my air hose needed a repair on the end that cost me $1.10.

Yes, which is 60 tooth with offset pawls to click one then the other. Which is why they say 120XP instead of 120 tooth. Maximum tightening torque has little relation which how rusted solid a bolt head is to what it's mated against. I've broken a extra long 3/8" ratchet on a 17mm hex head bolt -...
