I use my 2753 for larger screws and self tappers, and my 2450 (m12 brushed impact) is used for sheet metal screws. The 2753 doesn’t get the fourth mode used much at all because I was using it to drive in some larger self tappers and it would drop down in power to start hammering, but the screw had a long ways to go yet. It also doesn’t work with 3″ screws in wood, or screws of about that size, so I hardly used it. 

One thing I started using the fourth mode for is when putting tapcon screws in cement, that works fabulous actually, it can be really easy sometimes to snap the screw, or strip out the concrete when driving those screws in, but it actually works very well to put it in the self tapper mode and not have to worry about a split second miscalculation. If the screw just doesn’t seem to want to drive in, and you are afraid of snapping it, remove the screw, and run your concrete bit back in the hole, and out again, in an attempt to clear the hole of residual concrete specks. Then drive the screw back in and that usually takes care of it.

Yes agreed the precision modes are good for shorter screws, anything north of 2″ my patience runs out

You must like maple syrup if you can rifle off the cost of half a gallon…

…thats a lot of syrup

And thats a steal for that impact!

Indeed. One gallon is $46 and a quart is $14

My uncle makes it on a large scale in Michigan and we grew up on it

It would be kind if pointless if it didn’t work, wouldn’t it?

I tried to send you a PM regopit not sure if it went through.

I sent a PM too, no response. I am probably going to loose out on the deal, actually I predict I will loose out on the deal, but whatever, it will go to the person who most needs it I guess. I don’t even own not even 1 of them impact drivers, so I could use one but whatever. lol

You need it the most you dont have one! I could get my hands on a dozen different impacts right now if I needed one, so I dont really need this one, I will pass on this for you to get a chance with it

Ya I told my brother I’d save my money for dental, and I am. But for only a measly 25 dollars, I see no reason why I can’t pick that up from Regopit. I can pay him with paypal, and have him send it over to me.

Yea I hear you teeth are overrated anyway.  From what I’m seeing here you and Kruton would like to have this. So I will let you two decide.

I’ll bow out and let Protoolnut snag this one. My old man has an extra charger and battery so I figured for 25 bones I couldn’t beat it since I have been wanting a second 18v impact to use. Guess now I’ll just have to buy the Metabo I’ve been drooling over!

It’s yours PM me your info

Glad this worked out for Protoolnut.  He will wonder why he didn’t buy one years ago once he gets to use it. Especially with those 4.0 batteries he has.

Thing is, I’ve never used an impact driver before so I don’t have any experience with them. I guess they are better then a drill for certain things right?

The impacting means it doesn’t strip out screws as much and generally drives fasteners better than a drill.  One of the biggest advantages I’ve noticed is with the right power mode a fastener will pretty much stop moving right when the head lands so you don’t have to worry about overdriving or clutch settings like a drill.  There’s also no reaction force if it binds up so it won’t throw you off a ladder or scaffolding, smash your hand, or twist your wrist.  With the right bits you can even use it as a drill.

Yes not twisting an arm or wrist around is huge

Proto your gonna love it brotha!

a clutch system on most drills will give you more options for setting screws, however as mentioned an impact will do close to the same if you get the right feel for it. Also as a rule an impact driver is faster than a drill, and it is on a free floating drive system so ya it won’t bind and twist.  

truth be told, I hardly use my drill I use anyone of my impacts probably 90% of the time. unless I’m doing a lot of counter sinking…… nice to have them ready to go with the right bit in each…..

All I can say is your are getting one hell of a deal $18.00 to ship. Just let me know when you get it and  will paypal you.

hmm send it to Milwaukee for warranty, tell them something wrong…….and give them the buyer’s address for return….lol so when they look at it find nothing wrong…they send it back to well new owner…lol…..

I know that it sounds pretty funny to do at first. But if you really think about it, you and I both know it won’t work. Because people have abued warranties before, so Milwaukee will double check the address its going to with the information they ahve on the warranty claim, and they will see a discrempency and choose not to do so.

yes it was a joke…lol

I’m not sure but I think he is referring to one hell of a deal because it was $25 shipped and $18 of it was shipping cost…. 

Medium flatrate box would have saved you 6 bones

Very awesome of you Rego always hooking up the crew!! 

The deal was 25 bucks shipped to you so I made 7 bucks. I have 2 fuel impacts and this one and I got the one key so one had to go. 

You cost me a lot more! That Metabo ain’t cheap compared to $25!

It should sink those lags you have way faster than your drill did, I use my impacts for almost everything.
