Went to Nue's yesterday to check out the impacts. The bosch and Makita offerings for Impact are no where near the torque ratings for comparable Milwaukee units. I didn't even look at dewalts. Pretty much sucks. I'll either be sticking with air or looking to see what else is out there.

i have the bosch 18v stuff. very tough, and feels high quality. its even a lower-end set and the torque on both the drill and impact are very good. the 'impact' screw guns arent any good for automotive bolts, though. different tool.

Never tried the one at RA, how are they?
I haven't been to a winter one, but their summer events seem to be run pretty smoothly. They run on the small track obviously. they just put a few cones out to keep the speeds down a bit.

Just buy the damn thing and be happy lol.
You are resisting this way to hard for a "crappy drill" six years ago.
You sound like most peoples wife's

Ive had a Milwaukee Impact for over a year now with the 5.0 battery and I have zero complaints other than it being sort of heavy but that's because of the huge battery.

Meh, I'll just keep looking.
My milwaukee hatred goes a little further, and it is really similar to my Apple hatred....it stems from the people who have them. All I was told for years was how unbelievably awesome the Milwaukee tools were. Back before the super sawzall came out, a plumber was going on and on how awesome his milwaukee sawzall was He even demonstrated how quick he could cut out the boot holes I was going to cut in. I grabbed my portercable and cut out 2.5 in the time he cut out the 1. He then saidd it didn't matter how fast it was, the milwaukee was still better. Blind allegence at it's best. When the super sawzall came out it was equal to my portercable, but cost twice as much.....completely stupid. The drills were about the same when campaired ot my makita's back then.
If I buy a milwaukee tool, I'll be that guy, I'll be the one badmouthing other tools because they don't say Milwaukee on them. I can't be that guy.

You are that guy right now just in a different form. Instead of bad mouthing other tools you're bad mouthing other people for their decisions. How about you stop giving a fuck and commit to something.

With your logic, you should hate BMW's because 99.9999999% of the owners are doucebags.

The piece of shit harbor freight impact I bought for $29 that I plug into my wall has taken every bolt/nut out on my car. If the tool works it works. But I guess I didn't get a sick case for it.
-
lol you really are butthurt about milwaukee, yet you've never owned one? you're like that guy who says 'that new movie sucks. no, i didnt see it, but i heard on facebook.'

I agree with all your points. Maybe it's a phobia? I've never owned an Apple product, yet badmouth them too. I always tell people I can't own one because I don't fit into skinny Jeans......c'mon, that's funny.
And yes, 99.9% of BMW owners are D-bags, I can tell you, I'm in the majority. Besides, there is no better way to compensate for my small penis.

We are the 99%

I was the same way about Apple products. Then I bought an iPhone 5S. Now I can't wait for the 7 to come out so I can snag one.

Do the skinny jeans chaff?

I used to bash apple products and then I stopped caring. At some point I realized that for my purposes all phones do the same job as long as it's a high end phone.
