i have to say myself i love my battery tools. i use them at work so the home transition was easy. i have alot of air powered tools but i keep going to the battery powered ones for convenience. and yes i like the variable trigger pull speeds as well. plus i dont have any air lines stopping my creeper from moving...

For raw power and torque, I go to my battery powered 1/2" drive impact every time now. When I had a customer with multiple stripped/cross threaded wheel studs, the battery powered impact made quick work of a terrible job. I simply put it in forward and power level 3 and it snapped off the 9 1/2" wheel studs in 3 to 5 seconds each. With 1100 ft. lbs. on tap, they never stood a chance. My Snap On 1/2" drive air powered impact would have been beating on those studs for an hour!

Thanks for the update on the nibbler. Sounds really tempting.

I like mine also the 1/2" drive impact. I have Stihl gas powered chain,weed,broom,tiller, khombi system.Then I tried Ryobi battery lawn garden tools. Batteries didnt seem to want to charge after getting to low. Soo I bought the Milwaukee battery 18 volt weed, broom,chain saw tool. It has power and batteries recharge easily and I'm using my 18v tool batteries for almost endless time in yard. Balance on weed wacker is good,one hand at times.
