Good impact wrench?

I'd wait if at all possible... They are mandating all power tools use universal batteries and chargers, much like they did with usb-c and got rid of lightning cable, I think starting in 2026.

Who are "they", and where is the reputable source that you read this?

I don't see how "they" can make a private company make the parts they manufacture compatible with another brand.

The current administration (can't get too political or they shut things down). I'm with you, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of tools and batteries that already exist. Would it be nice if all batteries worked on all tools? Of course. It Is awful late for that now.

Lol well guess I'm late to thr party on the April's fools joke... Buddy told me about the battery thing and I took his word for it. I just googled it...It was an April's fools joke.... But it would be Cool to have universal batteries. The USB-C was great move.

But back on topic, I been happy with my craftsmen v series. Does what I need it to do... And a few reviews said it's basically a Milwaukee, I think, at a lower price point. Bought it sale and now all my power tools are crafstmen (don't hate)

I already had a DeWalt drill, so I got their 1/2" impact with a set of SAE sockets. Since Im already in their ecosystem, was a pretty simple choice for me.

Literally bought it about 2 weeks ago. Lol

Next up will be a set of metric and imperial sockets to round it out.

Most of their tools have a belt hook, which hangs just fine on a nail, screw, peg board hook, etc. And I didn't need to buy anything.

Pretty cool. If I owned a 3d printer I'd make a bunch of these.

Hey, I've been using the hell outta my ProEagle jack. Just not on my stuff. Just rescued some CalTrans guys a few miles from my house while returning from AZ jeeping.

For my purposes I don't need fancy-shmancy tools, but I have been very impressed with the quality and capability of the Lowe's Kobalt line thus far. I already had several other tools that used their 24v batteries, so stuck with it. Powerful enough for my needs. Currently on sale...

Kobalt Next-Gen 24-volt Variable Brushless 1/2-in Drive Cordless Impact Wrench (Battery and Charger Included) KIW 4024A-03 at Lowes.com

I got this at the same time on an awesome deal and it is really good...

Kobalt 24-volt 3/8-in Keyless Brushless Right Angle Cordless Drill KRAD 1224B-03 at Lowes.com

I've got all sorts of adapters to let me size up/down to whatever 1/4, 1/2, 3/8 attachments I want, so works for my needs.
