Air tools question...

[cstone]

I am thinking about getting a 1/2" Milwaukee M18 Fuel impact. Not cheap but much more portable than any pneumatic.

For the price of a 'decent' air impact, you could be a nice electric one.

I have this same one if you plan on using it a lot get the 9.0 MAH Battery if it is for once in a while the 5's are fine. I use mine for work HVAC commercial on pumps chillers flanges mostly 1" + stuff and it works great a 9.0 Battery will last me a couple of day use no issues and holds a charge very well in the van even in the winter

I have that impact. It is nice. ...

Have you had a chance to determine how long the battery holds a charge while just sitting in vehicle before needing a recharge? One of the reasons I like that impact is it would be nice to throw it in the truck during the week and swap batteries when I get home.

Having a 1/2" breaker bar and the correct socket makes lug nuts easy to crack but the impact sure would cut the time on taking them off and getting them snug. Jack legs or an awning on a truck camper would really benefit from a nice portable impact with good battery life.

Can't speak for the Milwaukee but I have a bunch of 20v Dewalt batteries and they last for at least several months between uses. They can sit all winter in the shop and still work for long periods in the spring without another charge. Milwaukee should be just as good. The DeWalt impact driver I have has been up to every challenge I've handed it. It's nice not being tethered to a hose. I have a pneumatic impact tool (probably Chinese) and never use it. It'll last forever I guess.
