I have no complaints.


I have a number of Ryobi and Dewalt cordless compressor and flashlights. They last and work ok for carpentry around the house.
These were used to build a 2100 square foot garage which I am selling soon-- too small.


The BEST cordless tool I have is a MATCO cordless impact which shoots out about 650 foot pounds.
It's not part of a platform and built by Ingersoll Rand exclusively for MATCO.


I also have five special Army battery-powered 1/2" drive impacts which I am selling after keeping three others for myself.


These impacts are used for taking ALL of the lug nuts off a HMWWV or disassembling a rim. Since the Hummers have 24 lug nuts, they last a long time but usually require an overnight charge. They are set up to use lead-acid or gel car batteries. Will probably sell the five since I don't need that many any more, just keep 3 for me.


I also have an Ingersoll Rand 1" impact that I use for disassembling Traction frames, separating the engine cradle and FWD power pack from the rest of the chassis. I have a spare version of same in Makita.


Like them both. I just fear shearing bolts so I heat and oil nuts a lot before tearing them off. Power has to be used judiciously.
