/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I barely use the 18V drill or impact driver either unless I need to drill though the masonry exterior walls on my house.

It’s funny because with Li-Ion and brushless tech, the 12V drill and impact driver have pretty much replaced the 18V ones, the 18V brushless 1/4” hex driver takes the place of a 3/8” impact wrench since it will easily doo >100ft-lbs, and the 18V 1/2” impacts have taken over air tool.

You should try out a mid-torque 1/2” fuel when you have the itch for another tool purchase. You might find that you don’t need to try and maneuver the big one around other BS 90% of the time because the light mid torques will do lug nuts and other common stuff no problem.

It’s like that impact wrench I just got rid of, the companies don’t want to sell you the best tech in a power tool unless they can sell you on the batteries too. Once you’re $200+ into the batteries, there’s a much higher chance you will buy more tools from them.

That drill and impact set is on sale for $99 as well. I will keep shilling the M12 stuff though because they’re the only company with a good 12V lineup

Home Depot just had these deals pop up, that’s fire for a homeowner duty set. The M12 batteries are quite affordable too compared to the 18V lines and you can get the Hackzall with a 4.0 and get some work done.
