I use mine for building decks, metal roofs, installing plywood flooring, etc, etc.. I can’t wait to go the full 9 miles with it, I misused my old gen 2 impact and I lost the ball detent and couldn’t find a replacement so I had to hop on this deal because 176$ for 3 batteries, drill (without that electronic chuck of the old gen 2 drill) and impact

I have this; I also have the 1/2" impact m12 wrench. When throwing in timber bolts; I use a beefy 1/2" square to 1/4" hex adapter to run them in. The driver does it; but too slow because the timbers are 1/4" in diameter. You can get the wrench for around $175 bare. Basically saying; get both and the hex adapter. Youll be able to do all.

I will still continue using the Bosch for final assembly and more delicate task due to its lower rpm.

Not true, all the high output batteries use cells with at least 25 amps discharge rating instead of the 15 to 20 amp cells on not high output branded batteries. The cells on high output batteries can provide more current with less of voltage sag under load. Non-Fuel branded tools can take advantage of these inherent characteristics of the battery packs.

Well I've been going back and forth all week on what to get, M12 or M18. Guess you answered that question in the first 10 seconds lol. I just don't want to be in a situation where I need more power and have to go buy another drill. Just the price tag on the M18 combo is more then I wanted to spend.
@mfcbuilds Жыл бұрын
Can I ask what you are primarily using it for? Do you own any other M18 or M12 tools? Regarding power... think of it this way, I've owned the M18 in this video for a few years now and have never been underpowered, this M12 is just as powerful. BUT, I'm not driving 4" lag bolts all day either.

Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" kzfaq.infoUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.

Firstly, thank you for watching. It is appreciated. And look how small my channel is. I can assure you HD isn't paying me lol. In reality I ran than test multiple times, actually learned that High Output batteries do nothing for old gen tools. Not sure about XC and so on. But @8:26 the M12 clearly wins. Even if it tied or slightly lost, that would still have been amazing for a much lighter, smaller, and less expensive tool.
