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

I've been going back and forth on the decision to get a battery powered 1/2" impact in addition to the pneumatic one. I already have a 3/8" one that works well. Not even close to as strong as my 3/8" pneumatic, but they are similar in size, and it is very handy.

My biggest gripe with pneumatic is dragging everything out, and the biggest problems with battery-powered stuff are battery life, price, size, and weight.

I've also had to cut new threads in stuff with my air impact, that a battery-powered one probably couldn't do

I am set up with Milwaukee, have a bunch of their 18v tools. I get anywhere from $100-700 every quarter with NorthernTool, so I just load up on the cordless stuff. Think I am up to about 15 tools now. Its awesome to be set free of the damn cords but you have to have enough well sized batteries and a multi charger.

Anyways, have the Fuel 1/2" and I think they are around 1000-1200 ft lbs and I believe it. never had an issue it will almost rip my arm off if not ready
