I have bought all mine through Home Depot, only because they do not have
a store local to me. I bought the M18 Fuel units, and they have been great!
I purchased them online and was free shipping to the house. If you use a 1/2"
impact a lot, buy the BRUSHLESS one, a little more cash, but should last you
a lifetime. Good luck wherever you buy from.

 

Altho I don't have Milwaukee, or a 1/2" cordless, I went Ridgid. They offer free lifetime service and warranty on ALL Ridgid cordless. No brainer for me....I have a bunch of their stuff now, just bought a 7 1/4 circular cordless circ saw. $200 Cdn all in delivered with a 4ah battery and charger. I have their sawzall, drill, 1/4" impact and handheld wet/dry vacuum.
Just my 2 cents.

 

I’m a mechanic, the brushless 1/2 in impact is the best tool I have purchased in 30 years well worth the money . Huge power !

 

I dont like the weight of those impacts. Have to agree on the power though.

 

Agree a little heavy , but never met a mechanic with weak wrists

 

My problem is tendonitis. It's nice to have options. I love the IR composite titanium for every day use. Don't always need all of that power. But I digress.
