Impact 3/8
The new IR 20v cordless stuff is pretty nice.

No need to wear yourself out with overly detailed posts 😆
Typing is tiring conductor, the topic name was descriptive enough 🙂
Price I am liking the Milwaukee m12 Fuel one….Haven’t used it yet but planning on purchasing one. If you are using this for work, I’d go with the IR stuff, but Milwaukee is a good alternative.
Milwaukee is hard to beat right now with the depth of their lineup.
I think the IR line is emerging though. They’re expanding their lineup and the quality is there.
If you don’t need everything immediately IR is worth taking a chance on IMO.
Dewalt is the only one to come with a 4.0 ah battery. IR Impact comes with 1.5 Ah batteries (you may be able to find one with 3.0Ah batteries). IR’s has a little more torque according to the specs but Dewalts also costs $100-$200 less than IR’s. Dewalt’s is also shorter at 5.7″.

Milwaukee’s only comes with a 3.0 Ah battery.
The fuel one comes with 4.0 batteries.
Ive been on thia topic for a few weeks…power wise the two tops guns are the m18 fuel 200ft lbs and snap on 230ft lbs… I decided on monday and bought the 3/8 m18 fuel… Great power smaller and lighter then the snap on gun, oh yeah and warranty is better. I ordered the 3/8 and circular saw bare tools and got the free 4.0 battery… Thats saled ended the 28th tho
Oh and ↑ way cheaper then overly priced SO…. The IR is great alternative but the power isnt on the same level…

You’re right, just saw they have a Fuel version. It’s about $80 – $100 more than the Dewalt however.
I love me some yellow but idk about 3/8 in DeWalt…. I think fuel on this one…
What is best? My Milwaukee 2454 M12 will fit in a bunch of places an M18 won’t…
