No experience with either of them.

Does your 1/2" not have multiple torque settings?

I've got a couple of the 2553-20 1/4" impact drivers, and I f'ing love them...carry them with me everywhere. Those little bastards are rated at over 100 ft-lbs.

 

[Bomar]

I was having to bust the tail section of the t case off and the 1/2 that I have is huge size wise to get in anywhere. Great for busting off wheels.

The power of it yes I can dial it down.

I do have a couple of the 1/4" as well I forget about them.

I have all 3. The monster, the normal impact and the stubby

I use the stubby 90% of the time. 1/2”

Midrange I use for lugnuts

Big Boi for breaking s*** off

No experience with the milwaukee, but I have a 3/8" makita and I use it more than my 1/2" one.

Damn sure don’t get the friction ring though. That’s some OSHA s*** that will make you throw that thing in a bush

I’ve been super happy with my new SnapOn unit.

That’s a bad dude but the price is ridiculous. I have the old style that has been used daily for the last 4 years without any issues. It’s amazing how long those little battery packs last on a charge.

Aye that is expensive. What is a comparable drill that is compact like that?

I bought the little m12 one. It’s a bit small for airing up big tires but perfect for airbags and balls and s***

I bought the big 2 gallon one and it’s too big.

Need that one …

 

[Bomar]

Napa had 20% off on it the other day so ordered online.

I have the 2 gallon and I agree too big.

I like the presets and I carry these batteries in Karavan anyway.

They are coming out with a top handle chainsaw Q1 that looks awesome.

 

[Papalud]

If you're just getting one 1/2" impact, which is the best all purpose one to get? About to start switching tools to Milwaukee as all my dewalt batteries are craping out.

 

[Bomar]

I would go mid torque the high torque is just too big.

If you can wait they will start running sales soon.

Friction ring. Get ready to cuss a lot

Last time I looked at HD, friction ring was all they had. You know it's cheaper to mfr, so they are gonna push it.
