Boy she is beautiful, you can tell it’s a hell of a lasting tool because even the case is beat to hell!

These are just the types of things you cant get from Harbor Freight

Impact drivers are my favorite tool now. Makes putting in fasteners so much easier!!

I’ll agree to that. We had to drive some 6 inch screws into treated fence posts. It was a breeze with my impact wrench with a bit socket.

Yes, but an impact gun is really a mechanics tool, mainly used to drive bolts/nuts on/off, and they can stand up to the torque of impacts. However, I would imagine that using an impact gun with a drive bit could possibly damae the screw head or break the screw in half. I am surprised to hear that you had no problems with it. 0.o

I do more automotive work than woodworking so the wrench was the best for me. It only has 130 ft lbs of torque wich isn’t much more than today’s impact drivers.

BremonMember since Dec 2014Jul 5, 2015 7:58 PM CT

Big difference between a high torque and a compact impact. The compacts are basically impact drivers with an anvil and slightly more torque.

You can never have enough tape measures! I have my Milwaukee 25ft go to but it sometimes likes to go on long walks by itself without giving me a heads up. I’m looking to add another one or two soon!

Hell yeah thats a tool! And finally somebody uploaded a pic big enough for me to see what it actually really looks like. Dam stock pics of this thing show me shit. Awesome radio, how is the base in that thing. I am kind of a picky person when it comes to sound. I can enjoy high fidelity just fine, but if the sucker has got no base to speak of, then I usually pass for something else.

I love that I can use it with my battery, givesmg me freedom to move it around. I also like the sound quality although it does lack on the bass. It’s no Bose, but it gets the job done and as you would say “It looks sexy too”. Lol I do agree- you are a nut…[emoji2]

I have the Dewalt Bluetooth which I like a lot but never get to use it cus the wife and kids always have it :/ I’ve been wanting to pick one of these up, it would look good next to the rest of my m12 tools 😉

BremonMember since Dec 2014Jul 12, 2015 11:28 PM CT

You’d probably be surprised at the clarity and volume you can get out of jobsite speakers and radios. We used the old M18 style one for ages at work, had no problem hearing it throughout an entire house. You just have to realize its an inexpensive audio solution, even the pricy 300 dollar ones.

My Paradigms powered by a Denon at home obviously sound much better, and should, for the price, but at home watching TV or a movie I’m paying much closer attention to the audio, whereas in a buddies yard, or a garage, or busting ass at work I’m more focused on the task at hand.

Don’t go into it expecting something you’d read about on avsforum or head-fi.

Thanks Breman, which radio would you specifically recommend?

my only real experience is with the M18 ones, and they are very similar sound wise, just comes down to whether you want Bluetooth and a charger. The older style one goes on sale for smoking deals multiple times a year.
