re: OB Recommendations....on cordless tool sets

My 1/2" cordless impact broke the studs on my trailer when I was rebuilding the hubs after it sat for several years. Rated at 1,200 ft-lbs and I've retired my air impact (old IR super duty). Keep it in one of the top drawers of my tool bench alongside it's 3/8" little brother. I haven't used an air impact since. The 1/2" is definitely heavy, especially with a 5Ah battery but I'll take that penalty over dragging around an airhose and keeping it lubed. The 3/8" impact is a great tool too, great for most jobs and will zip off lugnuts of most things as well as rearend cover bolts and similar. I grab it far more than the 1/2".

I had to completely spin 3 nuts off some 3/4" gr 8 bolts on my gooseneck plate last year. Bolts were wiped clean of threads when all was said and done. I ended up cutting the rest off, because it was such a PITA.
Last week, I had to do the same for the top nut on my gf's strut on her Benz. Had to sit on that mf'er for like 5 minutes. That wouldn't overheat or kill the battery on yours?
The tool I use the most now is a 3/8" battery-powered ratchet
