Those reverse threads on certain things get alot of inexperienced people in trouble
That's right if it did 100 lbs it would take SUV and car lug nuts off consistently.The next thing your going to figure out is these tools only produce about 65-75% of their claimed torque using the biggest battery offered, using the small battery you'll be lucky to see half the rated 1300 inch pounds. At a true 100lbs of torque those little 1/4" hex shafts snap right off. Where these tools shine is in the variable trigger control, it should work excellent for machine screws, wood screws, deck screws , m6 shanked bolt and the majority of m8's. FYI hex/allen/torx/safety torx/flat/phillips all come in 1/4" , 3/8" and 1/2 drive. The M18 battery cases break on the upper half where the tiny safety torx screw into, warrantied 2 so far and super glued a 3rd due to to the 1/2 drive fuel impact having crappy tolerances in the battery receiver and 0 extra reinforcements for rigidity so when it gets down to business the heavy 8ah battery is beaten around a lot. The m12 batteries like to break at the squeeze release points if dropped.
Haven’t checked Ebay but Lowes had a great deal on batteries a couple weeks ago. You got one 8AH one 5, and one 3 for $169.My dewalt batteries from 2013/14 are starting to go. But I didn't treat then well. Luckily i find new ones on eBay pretty cheap. I don't buy the generic chicom ones.
I'll second that. A friend worked for an outfit that sold Dewalt, Milwaukee and Makita. He turned me onto Makita brushless as he said they where the best. I don't know how they compare to Milwaukee but Makita is definitely better than the Dewalt stuff I had before.We use 18/20 v Milwaukee, Dewalt and Makita cordless tools at work, oilfield service company. Overall the Makita is the oldest set of tools and are the best of the 3. Impact wrenches, reciprocating saws, circular saws, drill/drivers, flashlights, grinders, etc.
That's a great deal they used to be 129.99 for one 4 or 5 amp battery at my local HD and on eBay I got 2 for 109.99. Just have to zoom in on pics for date codes.Haven’t checked Ebay but Lowes had a great deal on batteries a couple weeks ago. You got one 8AH one 5, and one 3 for $169.
Maybe dolmar makes the cordless toolsWe use 18/20 v Milwaukee, Dewalt and Makita cordless tools at work, oilfield service company. Overall the Makita is the oldest set of tools and are the best of the 3. Impact wrenches, reciprocating saws, circular saws, drill/drivers, flashlights, grinders, etc.
I had good luck w/ batterybatterybatterydotcom and they have Milwaukee?My 20v dewalt batteries are finally dying after about 8-10 years of use. I need ro replace them. Haven’t had any breaking issues with any of my Milwaukee batteries YET, and hope I don’t. Definitely not impressed with the Milwaukee cordless chainsaw but that battery is an absolute beast in other tools.
