I have the $120/$165 Ryobi versions... just because I had lot of 6Ah batteries.

Night and Day difference how much an impact helps... ANY IMPACT...

Never use on an Isuzu Trooper... studs gall... no idea why, but common knowledge.


Wrestling the tires around are enough, especially on the motorhome.

I go with Milwaukee because I gave away all my other gear so I just had a single brand battery to keep around.

Use to be 100% Porter Cable with battery tools until Dewalt bought them out and bastardized the product line to compete with other low end products.

Nothing has ever come close to the old Porter Cable battery powered tools but they were stupid exspensive.
Their entire line was built like that Milwaukee impact, lot's of metal involved, had some that worked hard on industrial jobs for 20+ years and never gave up.

You could disassemble the batteries and rebuilt them yourself.
Just loaded with rechargeable 'C' cells soldiered together, cases had easy to remove screws.

They don't want us doing that anymore, no money in it for them.
