I'll pm you some pictures of the tool chest, it really is nice. I have heard nothing but glowing reviews for the fuel 1/2" cordless impact. I mean 1,100 Ft/lbs of torque, who doesn't like that? LOL.

Yes please do send some over! 1100 ft lbs is fine with me. Beats firing the air compressor up every time I need to take 1 big bolt out.

Had to re-crimp the catch/connector on the left, back onto the cable.

I have the 1/2 drive milwaukee fuel impact (1,100 ftlb torque model). Recently bought it, used it to pull the front axle and suspension out of the jeep. So far I absolutely love it!

Have a 5.0 amp hour battery, after I was all said and done pulling the axle and all front suspension the battery was still at 4 bars. 5 year warranty on the tool and 3 years on the battery, id buy another one in a heartbeat.

Ive been looking at those as well. Is it the 12volt or 18 volt?? I only have milwaukee's 1/4" bit drive impact and the 1/2 inch (both 18v). Air ratchets are one of my favorite tools so I was wondering how the electric stacked up.

it's an M12, so it's the 12V. I never really got around an air ratchet, so I don't have anything to compare to. It does have a 30Ft/Lbs lock out, if it senses the bolt is torqued down more than 30 ft/lbs (this is indicated by the battery light flashing) it will want you to loosen by hand a few turns to break the torque. Then it will zip it right out. This is so the thing doesn't put a crap ton of torque a bolt and spin itself smacking your hand on something.

Just did rehab on my whole cooling system with the thing. I think everyone knows how a man can bond with tools, cars, whatever other mechanical objects. That tool, I consider him my little buddy. Really handy at speeding things up.

I'll have to get one eventually. All the cordless power tools I've used from milwaukee have been very high quality.

I have some Milwaukee tools from the 70s and 80s that still work flawlessly. I have zero complaints on that company

Hopefully they keep it up. they were sold to a Chinese tool manufacturer know as techtronics. They make some of the bottom dollar brands like Ryobi. Its been about a year or two since they were sold, so far so good. I just hope they dont start down the road of bad quality.

Anyways, check out this tool ****. Its my tool bag for work. Im a industrial process control tech and carry it everyday, all for about $100 bucks too:

Room for both my fluke DMM and Fluke 725 Multi Function Process Calibrator


Laptop storage


Its Raining??? Who cares, got a rain fly


Screw driver and hand tool storage


Top of bag storage, i keep all kinds of stuff in here
