Another vote for Milwaukee. I have a 1/2” impact gun that seems unstoppable. Also a 3/8” impact and a 3/8” ratchet. Around home I use a leaf blower to clean the garage and the rain gutters.
I bought them from SOR probably a decade a go and never opened the box until today. $50 plus shipping, or pickup in Altadena, Calf.

I use a jam jar and a piece of rubber tubing. Add enough brake fluid to the jar so one end of the hose is submerged. Use a binder clip to keep the hose in place. Barely crack the bleeder screw and put the other end of the hose over it. It has to fit tight. Pump brake pedal a few times, refill...
