[Shop-talk] Impact wrenches (heavy duty)

[Paul Parkanzky]

I felt the same way until my latest batch. Times have changed and the battery technology has improved dramatically. I’m still using Li-Ion batteries that are six or eight years old, can sit in the garage or my truck for several months, still have enough charge to work hard all day, then charge back up in half an hour.
