It funny you posted that, I was looking at one last weekend, made the comment to my wife I wish Milwaukee made one, I would love to have one for the convenience, but I dont want to invest in another line of batteries.

Makita brought out a tool a few years ago that I almost went for, but green clashes with red. They have an 18 volt coffee maker

I just bought this bad boy from KMS. Regular $380.00 for $250.00! Like others have said, once you start down a brand road with batteries and changers its too much to swap out.

Specifications:

• Drive: 1/2" square drive with socket retaining ring
• Maximum fastening torque: 740 ft-lbs (1,000 Nm)
• Maximum breakaway torque: 1,180 ft-lbs (1,600 Nm)
• No load RPM: 0 - 900 / 1,000 / 1,800
• Impacts per minute: 0 - 1,800 / 2,000 / 2,200
• Vibration level: 18.0 m/s²
• Noise level: 97 dB(A)
• Overall length: 9" (229 mm)
• Weight: 6.7 lbs (3.0 kg)

Our service truck runs Blue stuff, I've have never had an issue with aftersales service, warranty or repair. The guys are HARD on tools. We run several corded Dewalt grinders, and issue after issue with them, and it takes FOREVER to fix simple stuff like cord, plug replacement.

this is the one I was looking at in Home Depot. I thought it was a good price including battery and charger, but it doesnt look like a regular dewalt battery? A cheap version? I dont know the dewalt products, you would probably have a better idea?

Makita 9005B grinders were always the go to grinder for me. There was a time when Makita was a god in the cordless tool market, back when I couldnt afford them.

I bought one, returned it the next day. Only DeWalt tool Ive ever been unhappy with.

550psi is nothing for a pressure washer and the volume is very low.

I can get more washing done with a garden hose.

How come makita tools are not on the chart on page one? I would love to see if Maximum 40-20volt battery plugs into makita. I was just thinking in the 90's milwaukee battery tools were just garbage 7.2 volt if i remember right... not no more.

the cordless market has indeed come a long way, but, in some instances, and air tool is easier on the pocket book (if you already have the compressor etc) than the same tool in a cordless version.

That would be a good one for project farm.

1 inch cordless impact vs 1inch air impact torture test.

My money is on the air tool

I think the battery does play into it a lot.

I have a 2,5 and 8 amp milwaukee battery and the tools with the 8 amp on them just hit HARD and don't stop

You are correct, but a guy has to be careful. I have 16 milwaukee batteries, (not including M12's, thats another story) and there is no doubt the horsepower increases with the batteries. But I learned the hard way you have to be careful. With my 3/8 impact I wont use anything bigger than an XC5, my 1/2" I wont go over the XC8 and my 3/4 I use the XC9 with the XC12 for just in case.

If you use the XC12 on the 1/2 high tourque and continue to hammer on something, you will burn out the gun. She will get real hot and miserable. If you use anything bigger than the XC5 on the drills you stand a good chance of letting the smoke out.

I learnt those lessons the hard way. I was doing some truck repairs 6-7 years ago and had to ream out a few hole in the frame. I put my 7/8 reamer on my 1/2 drill, first hole was fine, but a little slow so I put an XC9 battery in her, reamed well for the next hole but started getting warm. By the 3rd hole she was hot but I was to bullheaded to stop. One more hole and there was smoke and bad smells.

About a year later I was using the 1/2 high tourque to do some trailer tire rotations. I got to one wheel where they nuts were overtourqued, I grinned and said watch this, put the XC12 battery in her and hammered away. It was tuff going, lots of rust and grim, but Im bullheaded, I hammered at it. The impact go so hot I could barley hold it. It still worked after that, but it was no no longer a high tourque impact. It was then I bought my first 3/4 impact. A smarter guy would have pulled out the 1" air impact, but the impact was up on a high shelf, the big hose was put away, just seemed like a pain in the ass. Expensive lesson.

Maybe thats why i kept on frying milwakee vacuums using a 9amp battery.

They should tell you that though.

oh there is a story there as well

we have the compact vacuum you put the battery inside. Wife decieded it was time for spring cleaning the vehicles. I had just gotten the XC12 battery. She came in complaining the vacuum quit working. I took a look, she had to pry the XC12 into the slot and it heated up so bad the plastic melted around the battery. She had always used the XC5 before, figured it would last longer with the 12. She said with the 12 it would suck a golf ball through a water hose, but it only lasted maybe 10 minutes before she let the smoke out.

This is a pretty reasonable deal:

DeWalt Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit with Batteries and Charger - 3-Mode LED Light - Brushless Motor

Drive screws with efficiency using this DeWALT driver and drill combo pack. Both tools utilize brushless motors and XR lithium-ion batteries for long...

good video, nice looking impact, interesting to see the 1" at the end.

This one is for Stompin Tom, as i mention earlier ..the IR impact driver. 3000 lbs of nut busting power

That is a beast no doubt. $2500 us, I might have to hide that receipt from the wife.

12 change overs at the tire shop cost about $450.00. So really it is only about 5 visits to shop .....................

As far as dewalt battery tools go.. their finishing nailer is awesome, circular saw is amazing, 1/2 impact worked good and the one handed reciprocating saw worked awesome. I used their drills for years they always seemed to work fine. Milwaukee kind of owns the impact market right now. High marks to canadiantires maximum 40v grinders, hammer drill and impact.

One thing that is a joke is a 2000 dollar air compressure with a 1 inch impact up against a 1 inch millwaukee battery impact. So if you are going with air tools make sure and spend a lot more than 2000 on the compressure. Or you could go out and buy a 750 dollar makita 40v. But if you are only taking off truck nuts you might want to consider the 1/2 inch dewalt which will do way more than one truck to 145lbs on a single battery.

I have the Dewalt 1/2 and the compact 3/8 impact, for the average guy they are great. Never use my air impact anymore. But for metal work finishing and die grinder I still prefer air tools, just burn through the batteries to fast. I don't have any of the new Dewalt batteries to test yet though.
