[Shop-talk] Battery impacts, was: weak impact

[Scott Hall]

I forgot--I got a DeWalt cordless chainsaw for Christmas, so maybe I do
have a battery ecosystem already. Though I won't be upset if DeWalt 's
impact isn't the way to go. I haven't opened up the saw yet since it's been
snowy. I *think* it uses 20v batteries. I'll look to confirm when I get
home.

A battery chainsaw. I remember 8-track tapes. And we're buying my wife a
battery-powered car, with OEM 22-inch rims. The world has changed. I think
I'm old now.

Followed all the suggestions, still not budging the lug nuts. It's running
off a regular yellow coiled air line, straight from the compressor tank.

Everyone is so bullish on the battery impacts maybe I need one.

So...which one? I didn't have any other battery tools (lost in the same
fire that got my air tools), so I don't have an existing battery ecosystem
I want to use.

Twenty years ago I had a Milwaukee 18v impact that was no more impressive
than the 2131 and I didn't use it except at the track. I assume they've
improved since then.

Are they all about the same or is one clearly better than the others?

Thanks fellas.

Scott
