This is the one i had my eye on, but then had second thoughts of it being overkill for what i need it for. But yes, this is a very nice pice of machinery :tup:

Ill look into it, thanks!

This is one of three contenders, just behind the milwaukee m18 and a makita model i cant remember.

Im curious, how did the craftsman fare against the jobs you did with it?

I saw this as an option if the other three were too powerful for the jobs im thinking of doing.

Thanks for the tip! This is precisely what has me overthinking what to get. Although im just considering it for loosening bolts, to tighten ill just use natural powa!!! My muscles :rofl2:

It's probably overkill, but i'd rather have too much power than not enough

I got this one because it is compact and makes it easy to navigate under the car in difficult and tight spaces with the smaller head. Plenty of torque too at 135 ft lbs max.

I have had my wheels on and off at least 10 times in the last 2 months since I went to the track twice in Nov and once in Oct.

I zip them on and off with it. I do not even check the final wheel torque. Dont need to.

To get into the control room. You have to wait for someone to quit, die, or get fired. When I retired. I was 1 of 2 left from the original crew. :eek: Guys would come and go to pad their resume. :shakes head:

Give you guys a heads up. Where I work at part time now. We deal with most of the battery operated power tools. If you buy any of them. Try a get the commercial version of it. As they are better built and normally have metal gears vs plastic. Plus I get to see with ones have the most returns too.

Anyone looking at the Harbor Freight "Earthquake XT" model? 1200ft-lb and has excellent reviews... price tag is a little higher - around $210 after coupons.

The Craftsman did ok. It took lug nut off but if the battery wasn't fully charged it would start to struggle. Honestly the craftsman isn't in the same league as the Dewalt and Milwaukee stuff.

With Sears circling the toilet and the Craftsman brand belonging to Stanley Black and Decker now I wouldn't even consider a Craftsman power tool until there is some brand stability established.

Great youtube review of it by everyone's favorite Canadian. He's got other videos regarding Dewalt and Milwaukee stuff to.

Awesome. Gonna have to put it on my wishlist. Listening to that guy talk about tools got me strangely turned on.

AvE's youtube channel is definitely on my favorites list. Some of his videos are even better than that one if you're looking for a good laugh.

His voice reminds so much of michael buffers :icon17:

He's definitely one of my fave youtubers
