I have a Milwaukee M18 FUEL in 3/8" and 1/2" Drive, they are perfect.

I'm considering a cordless impact and the reviews for the Ingersoll Rand W7150 is pretty impressive.

Since going 100% to China, Milwaukee is not what it used to be. Their tools are made in the same place as Ryobi. This can't be a good thing....

When buying an impact gun you have to "go big or go home" Get the Ingersoll Rand 7150 or one day when you use one of the other brands and it doesn't break the bolt loose you will regret not getting the 7150 the first time.

I have the big Makita 18v and it is awesome, it will take all 32 14mm lugs nuts off my truck 160ft/lbs. and put them back on with one battery and its still good to go.

Love it

I have a snapon 1/2 drive in the limited edition midnight blue. This impact does a great job.

Interesting. What's the model number of this machine?

Just got the M18 Fuel 1/2" myself. 1100 ft lbs of breaking torque is not bad for a cordless.

I had wondered about this. I see a bunch of Milwaukee tools at Home Depot now, when I didn't use to.

Generally I assume that most power tools sold at Home Depot are going to be **** chinese crap. Thing is, I don't know that there are any power tools made here anymore. It has pretty much all gone to China in the last few years.

Mine has worked out so far, we'll see how long it lasts.

Milwaukee 24 volt 1/2" here. It's a little heave but good power and great at the track changing tires!
