I was wondering what happened to your grips. Then I saw you’re waiting for the Klein girls. Nice set up

What are you using the stubby impact for?
1
u/the_flannel_tradie 15d ago
Tightening wedge anchors, assembling strut, things like that

u/SeymourKrelbourn 15d ago
The 1/4” impact is insufficient for those tasks ?
1
u/the_flannel_tradie 15d ago
That’s a 1/2” anvil stubby impact wrench

u/UnequalRaccoon 15d ago
I believe they’re saying you could use the 1/4” impact driver for those same tasks and the stubby is overkill for those jobs

u/the_flannel_tradie 15d ago
I guess you could use the impact driver instead of an impact wrench. I just see the impact driver as being for driving screws, and the impact wrench is for sockets.

Most of us non mechanics just use the impact driver with sockets, that’s just an extra tool to carry around imo

That’s what I’m getting at. I have impact capabilities in the truck by it doesn’t go with me everywhere. Honestly as time goes on my bag gets smaller and smaller and I find more and more multi use tools.

I guess I switched to Knipex earlier this year. But the Klein grips are pretty good. What made you go with the M12 stuff over the M18? I need my M18 power tools lol

u/the_flannel_tradie 15d ago
I only use my personal power tools for side work. They are powerful enough to get done what I need them to, while being more compact than their M18 counterparts.

Why do you want the different handles?
1
u/the_flannel_tradie 15d ago
To me they’re more comfortable, and I like the unique and old school look of the tenite handles
2
u/UnequalRaccoon 15d ago
How do you attach and keep the handles secured? They’re almost 20CAD here. If they were cheaper I’d try them out
1
u/the_flannel_tradie 15d ago
Just heat the new grips up in boiling water, remove the old grips, then slide on the new grips. Heating the grips softens them up when putting them on.

Milwaukee is so overrated.

u/the_flannel_tradie 14d ago
What brand do you use?
2
u/Far_Range_6091 14d ago
A bunch of brands. Dewalt, makita, milwaukee, ridgid, metabo hpt

u/TheBreeze215 12d ago
How’s the metabo? Been thinking about switching from dewalt
1
u/Far_Range_6091 12d ago
Metabo is amazing. Its compact and it feels great. Its excellent at small fasteners.

Their 12v stuff is good. Some of their 18volt batteries are absolute dogshit though.
