The ones I see listed there are around $169 and only have 600 ft-lbs of tq. That is not even close to being in the same ballpark at the Dewalt. The Dewalt is 1400 ft-lbs of max breakaway torque.

With the deal posted the Dewalt is not a whole lot more money and on a system with a TON of different tool options.

What a short extension is for last time I checked.

And l’ll put that short extension on a battery powered impact in a heart beat where time is money, in the field w no compressor and 6” of space to break a nut torqued to 300 ft lbs on a skidder you need to repair within minutes.
There is need for tools like this and although a 3’ breaker bar is half the price, spending a half hr trying to do a repair with old fashioned sockets and drive as opposed to spending minutes w an impact, equates to the expenditure eventually anyway.

We have to make repairs miles from home an a cordless impact is a lifesaver when you’re in a hurry.

Also - does that fit my plethora of DeWalt 20V max and FlexVolt batteries?
I think not.
Like I wrote:

For those of you who are DeWalt users and who work on tractors and trucks this is a killer deal IMHO.

If your a Milwaukee user this would be of much less value to you.

Now you’re just being silly.
If you’ve ever taken one of the cheap ones apart,
you’ll see why they make them cheap.
One item for instance that smacks you in the face is the use of nylon drive gears in the cheapies as opposed to sintered bronze in the pro models

I have the Milwaukee and it's a beast. Been changing blades on an old flail mower and breaking the bolts loose for the hangers is a piece of cake.

You need to go watch the Torque Test Channel's test on You Tube and then comment. It kicks the Milwaukee's butt hands down, not just in reverse torque but in price as well Not that I'd own one because I prefer air anyway. Sintered bronze (aka) powdered metal is no match in durability for machine from steel gears anyway. Won't find any sintered gears in the Thor I own either, nor the 1" drive IR

and your air hose is how long?

I also have the Milwaukee Both 1/2 & 3/8 Both work great. And love not needing a compressor
