I agree. the M 1/2" Fuel is heavy. but it does the job my Ryobi 1/2 18vt won't. I only use it when my ryobi sticks it's finger out at me. like the 5/8" Shank bolts with 15/16 heads that hold the blades on to my woods 60" deck and their left handed
This is my most used impact outside of the 1/4' impact driver.. The thing is real smooth and a beast for its size.I'm the OP and that's my original post in wanting to buy a 1/2" drive 18V impact gun for basic farm, auto and tractor work.
After all the very helpful comments and because I had Makita things already, I wound up with the 3/8" Makita 18V and it's perfect for me. I mail ordered from Home Depot after Amazon sent me an open box return I didn't want.

It's lightweight, shockingly powerful and easy on the battery. Just for chuckles I tried on my 150 ft lb Tundra wheels and it zipped them off. no problem. It has multiple power settings so I use the lightest when putting nuts back on and now I can easily hold the difficult "hubcap" in place while installing.
1/2" impact would have been too much for my use. Sure, for tough stuff I would need it and if I still had big equipment it would be a universal tool for all of that and everything else. For that I have a 1000 ft lb air gun so that's my backup. FYI
Do you have a magnetic socket for the 1/4" hex bits yet?I'm the OP and that's my original post in wanting to buy a 1/2" drive 18V impact gun for basic farm, auto and tractor work.

those are good. I have a metric & sae 1/4 dr set I bought 25 yrs ago before I retired as a auto tech. these are the sunnex and work really well & warranted for life, never broke one. they were $68 back then, I have no idea now. I also have the makita 12vt drill & flashlite kit from 20 yrs ago, & ryobi 18vt flashlite,drill & 1/2 impact I still use a lot. I only break out the heavy Milwaukee 18vt impact when the job is too hard for the Ryobi
Yes, I have a magnetic socket but is not impact rated or anything like that.
I'm the OP on this thread and let me thank everyone for helping and convincing me to buy a 3/8" battery impact gun for farm and shop use. As mentioned, I went with Makita because I already had batteries and chargers but I suspect most brands are as powerful. I see a lot of Milwaukee and DeWalt around.I'm the OP and that's my original post in wanting to buy a 1/2" drive 18V impact gun for basic farm, auto and tractor work.

If you say so.
My snap on 1/2" pneumatic impact will run circles around my 20vlt dewalt impact.
Until the battery looses it's poop and then they are all rocks.
That is why I have multiple spare batteries
I'm on 8 years of heavy use on my dewalt impacts. And that 1/2" gun has seen serious usage daily. Half of that was inclement weather.
No, they are not. TTI owns Milwaukee, and they make Walmart's Hart, not Harbor Freight. They also make Ridgid and Ryobi power tools sold at Home Depot.
