I have the MAC tools version. Supposed to be different and the batteries have and a few other differences. I've had it since about 2014 and I use it a lot and it still works great.

Anyways, that thing has been through it, as you can tell, and it's almost too strong, will break a stud right off when tightening down wheels. Those batteries are the one's that came with it as well. I have some aftermarket amazon specials too and they work too but are more lilely to fall out. Also have the 3/8ths version as well. Everything else is Snap-on.

Milwaukee is good, and I wish I bought some back before Milwaukee figured out they could charge more and reduce quality.

Only used it on my lower shock bolts so far but it ripped them right off where as my compact 1/2 wouldn’t even budge

I have a few 5" and a 9" corded angle grinder with no guard, much better. Also take the guards off my bench grinders.

Nice. I worked in the shop of a research lab while in college and all we used was Dewalt.
Most of my stuff is Ryobi now. My stuff doesn't get used hard and I can't cuss it for the cost/value. The cordless impact wrench is so much nicer for rotating tires.
