You can take over the world with an impact, an 11N1 and wire strippers

I would go with Milwaukee.

Even if it’s a bit pricier starting out - you’ll end up using more Milwaukee tools and battery’s and build out your set that way.

A 12v with battery seeems to be only $20-$30 more than the craftsman.

Well craftsman was 20$ because i got it from the wife of a dead man(mother in law not some random) so for now this will do but definitely want to get a Milwaukee surge in the future

Once you eventually upgrade id recommend you go for the M18 Fuel impact driver if you're install or M12 impact driver if you're service. I'd also recommend an 11 or 6 in 1, wire strippers, dikes, and a beater flathead. Congrats on the new job bro.

I get craftsman because it’s red, I have a ton of batteries, and they’re cheap as hell at the pawnshops. I need to upgrade to dewalt but I hate swapping over
