Nice! I'm a Milwaukee guy. I wasn't sure if the 12 would have enough torque. In fact, I thought there was only an 18?

Ingersoll makes a nice impact but I went with the Milwaukee M18 cause I see more of them on the trail and I figure if my battery goes dead chances are good someone will have another.
mine came with 2 batteries and have to tell you they last a long time between charges

Many wheels require thin wall sockets - a thin wall 19mm is good

I don't have one but I'm very curious to see how it does. You'll have to let us know. I've been thinking about getting one for trail use and around the garage.... Just wasn't sure what brand I was going with yet? I know the air impact has awesome reviews.

I've been using a cheap Ryobi for awhile now and it does OK, but when it's cold out, it really struggles. This HF one got surprisingly amazing reviews and wasn't a whole lot cheaper than Milwaukee. This will strictly be a garage gun for axles, pinions, rusty bolts, etc.

I agree with overlander. Spend $100 more for the Milwaukee

It was right in front of me, impulse buy. About 100 bucks cheaper.

I will definitely have to check this out.... Probably for the same uses as you're going for

I got 90 days to take it back if I'm not happy with it. I can use that other hundred bucks for other tools I figure. I wouldn't have even considered this a week ago, but in online reviews this week, this one kept coming up and people were happy with it for the price. I was at the store today and said fuck it.

No worries. I’ve read good reviews on them too. I know it’s comparable to the snap on. Lol I love my Milwaukee stuff. Their impact is on my list of tools after I get a house.

Might be comparable to snap on, worst $1000 I've ever spent. The snap ons are good guns, but not keeping up on technology. The 20V dewalt or Milwaukee are a better buy.

Worst 1000 as in it failed or worst as in snapon is overpriced?

Keep an eye on the charge for those 90 days and use it. HF generally uses shit cells, not the Panasonic's like Milwaukee, Dewalt, and Mikita. That is where they are saving their money, and a cordless tool that says it's charged and dies 10 min later is useless.
I went overboard with the Makita, but I can do a 5 tire rotation on 8 lug wheels and still have 75% charge left when I am done.

This.
And the convenience of buying countless other tools based on the same battery platform readily accessible from your local big box store.
I’m a snap on fan boy but I’m looking real hard at Milwaukee to change over to. My 10+ year old 12 volt NiCad snap on is getting awfully tired.
