The mid torque and 2.0 battery is $199, $10 over the bare tool cost.

I used a 2.0 battery with that gun or the high torque dont know which one. Was using it on a pipe extractor, and the battery went from full to dead in about 10 or so seconds of impacting. It wasnt actually "dead" just couldnt provide the ampacity or "c" rating the gun wanted. "Blinking red battery indicator while it was running. The battery recovered a few seconds after showing full charge again. Or maybe 3/4 bars. Switched to 5.0 battery. Ran gun no problem. I would hope it wasnt the mid torque, considering they giving that battery with it.

They are including two 5.0 batteries plus an impact socket set. I've been thinking about buying one of these for about three months, this deal put me over the edge.

Sounds like an anomaly.
If the pack was fresh off the chgr it might be temp related.

I just bought that gun, but with a small battery for $200.

So nice. A few days after getting it, I was trying to remove the thermostat housing from an excavator, and was afraid I was going to snap the bolts. There really wasn't any room to work - no space for a hammer. Too much diesel and grease for heat. Set on "low", I very slowly backed the bolts out and didn't break either one. I'm fairly certain I couldn't have removed them by hand in one piece.

The "mid torque" blows the lugnuts off my 1 ton truck with no problem, but is smaller than the high torque unit. Awesome tool.

For an extra $30 you can get the high torque set.

True, but the mid torque model is supposed to be the most useful. People complain that the high torque model has too much power unless you're disassembling bridges or battleships. It’s also a lot heavier than the mid torque model.

Yeah it's smokin alright. Smokin crack.

That's a smoking deal because you'd have to be smoking something to pay that much money!



Wtf is you guys hang up.


The last couple days I vacillated between the 200 and the 320 deal. Then I realized since I already have five 5A batteries and absolutely no need for yet another minimal set of impact sockets I was basically paying $130 for two batteries. So I just got the two hundy deal tonight. At least the battery that comes with it won't go to waste, I have a few 18v tools that do just fine with those.

This. The mid torque is awesome. The time and effort it saved me rebuilding the front end and rear suspension on my 4Runner was worth the price of admission alone. Probably my favorite power tool outside of my impact driver.
