      Bought it while on a ice storm deployment in Oregon two weeks ago and it is the perfect weight to power ratio. I flew out on Delta without it, but with a PackOut system. I was close on my max weight requirements. Adding this to my kit only added a couple pounds, but took care of a wheel, several hitch assemblies, and just worked so well. Thanks for this video.

      Ahh, for me it all started in August when I wanted a cordless ratchet and came across the M12 3/8's ratchet. My next tool was the M12 1/2 stubby and this thing is a BEAST. I just picked up the Impact Driver from Home Depot for $99 with a tool bag, charger, and battery and I am loving it!! I highly recommend the Impact Driver if you work on vehicles a lot, it comes in handy when doing fasteners when you don't need a lot of power form the impact wrench.

    I'm working on stripping down a Cummins ISX, going to swap out the motors in a Kenworth T-2000... I had to remove an inner fender, 24mm bolts x 4 holding this fender to the frame rail. A tight spot to say the least. I tried my 3/8" Stubby, it got in there, but did not even budge any of the fasteners. So, I went and grabbed this thing, unboxed it, grabbed a battery and slapped a 24mm impact socket on her and went to town! The tool barely fit in the space, but I had just enough room to let her work. She removed those four bolts like butter. I doubt I could have gotten these bolts out with simple hand tools, they look like they have not been removed in years. I am keeping this 1/2" little MONSTER.

I saw a few pics of the snap-on ct9010 3/8 brushless gun a few days ago. It looks good but spec wise I have no clue.

    Goddam, it's fucking gigantic. Powerful as hell but impractical for anything other than wheel bearings/suspension unless you've pulled a motor and it's accessible. I've been using a Dewalt DCF894P2 for the past 2.5 years, and while it doesn't deliver nearly as much torque, it's held up well over time and can squeeze in tight areas. This Milwaukee is priced extremely well, however. Just can't see using it very often.
    The Milwaukee cordless 3/8 ratchet, however... now that's a tool I've never regretted buying.

When I take my foot off the brake and start accelerating the voltage comes back and everything gets brighter. Could it be an issue with my alternator? And if so can I upgrade my alternator to an STi alternator that runs 90 amps instead of the wrx at 75. Thank you ! Keep making great videos

    Upgraded from an older 18v kit. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.

    The real question; is does it have enough torque to break loose wheel nuts on the Subaru? I have bought a similar impact wrench and it won’t crack loose those wheel nuts

      It removed 1-1/8" bolts on tractors and bulldozers. It removed 1" lug nuts on a commercial vehicle. Yes, 85ft.lb, 19mm Subaru lug nuts are nothing to this gun.

      @@MrSubaru1387. While I agree that when properly tightened the wheel nuts shouldn’t be a problem; I have yet to get any tire shop to actually use the proper tightening technique. Every single one grabs those torque sticks and blasts it on at 140 foot pounds or more. I have had to get the car towed to the stealer ship for stud replacement on the right rear wheel because those idiots broke 3 of the five.
