Only use them connecting low wattage light sources. Homeowners try and use them instead of wire nuts in electrical boxes and they do not hold up well.Piggy backing on the electrical connectors I've learned of this since I started working in the trade again. Makes converting ballasts lights to LED a breeze.

I don't want a mini-impact. I want to have a major impact!
Oh...that's a given in the trade. Only for light fixtures with fluorescents or LED ligths.
I was at Rural King today looking at 56 series batteries and the Sig P365 sale they have going on.....
Always liked to drool over the 5 horse Quincy compressor they have in stock... Its the large commercial one with the HUGE pump and the " real " 5 horse electric motor with a 1 1/8" shaft....... 2 years ago it was a few bucks over $1800 ( RK seemed to have an awfully good price on them) They have not had one is stock for a while but today they had one... $2900...
Really hit home how much more expensive it has become to live now in such a short time....... it was depressing.........

My wife goes grocery shopping once a week. Here lately her favorite thing to do is tell me how much more things have gone up from one week to the next. It's not insignificant amounts either. My son likes chocolate milk in the morning, so she buys tubs of Nesquik. In one week the price went up a dollar. It was $4.89. Now its $5.89. Everything is like that now.
As a single guy I do my own shopping and see the weekly price increases.... Besides the price, the reduction in Quantity gets you too.... I try to stay away from carbs, but I had a craving for some Triscuits and cheese the other day....... I grabbed the triscuit box and something didn't look right.... MOST of you don't remember the small boxes of Animal crackers or maybe Cracker Jacks..... This box was about that size......
I feel for you parents with kids,,, clothes, food, gas to shuffle them around..... That has to be tough.....
How come I see 9% or smaller increases announced by the Media every month when items double or at least go up by half?? Not a Mathematics major here, but isn't that more like 100% or 50% ?????
I have not figured out the math either. But a 100% increase over 3 years, divided by 36 months could be reported as a 2.7% (monthly) inflation rate by a spinning news organization or government report.
That's the common core math lol... Seriously every company is trying to grab as much profit as they can before people admit we are in a serious recession, starting to see the used car market slashing prices trying to unload before that implodes.
I just checked KBB, and our trade in value on a 2019 is 10k more than what I bickered and bargained for it from a dealership right when the rental car places were dumping inventory. I have no desire to trade it in, but this bubble should pop when chips and other parts are easier to get for new cars.
Was looking for a deWalt mini impact so I could use the batteries I already have, but the combo 1/2” drive and bit holder sold me.
I've been using the crap out of mine today, cleaning up after a-holes that use air impact guns to install wheel lugs onto golf carts.
Kick him in his mom's dick if I find him.
I have taken to buying normal stuff I don't need now for later, when maybe it costs twice as much or not available at all.
I have extra spark plugs for every vehicle I own. Extra air/fuel filters. Enough oil and filters to do the next 4 oil changes.
All of the vehicles have new tires. Ect. Ect.
Maybe it is a waste of time and money, maybe not.
I try to live by the motto "It is better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it."
Guns and ammo included.
Oh, and booze. Lots of booze.
You can't be sad if you are 3 sheets to the wind...or at least you forget why you are sad. Lol

My buddy asked me if it was good for wheel lugs. I haven’t tried it yet, but I guess it breaks them loose?I've been using the crap out of mine today, cleaning up after a-holes that use air impact guns to install wheel lugs onto golf carts.

I always use the torque wrench when tightening anyway, so that’s not an issue.
Not at all like my big electric ugah duggah. I was using it to tighten after chasing threads that are already FUBAR.
I have roughly 6 wheel studs to replace because somebody should have been aborted and wasn't.
I will say though, that it made more torque than I was expecting. It seated all the nuts on boogered studs.
I’m not sure that’s possible, at least with most families.I've been using the crap out of mine today, cleaning up after a-holes that use air impact guns to install wheel lugs onto golf carts.

Maybe if she named her son Richard? But I’m glad the cordless tool works well.
I have a 1/2" 20 volt Dewalt impact that has causes mayhem. My secret weapon is a 1/2" air impact powered by a compressor putting out 150 psi at 15 cfm. I will own your nuts! LOL
I won’t be using it on too many wheels anyway, but knowing it’s got some balls makes it worth the money.Not at all like my big electric ugah duggah. I was using it to tighten after chasing threads that are already FUBAR.

If it can drive a 2 1/2 or 3” screw into a stud with no issues, I’ll be happy
And even if I’m not…… I’ve spent $100 on way worse ways. Lol
No problem whatsoever.
I haven't tried it yet but I'd guess that a half-inch thick lag, 6 inches long wouldn't be a sweat either.
