Hmm yea that's the one I have . 300lb. There's a 160lb version also.. Works great for me .I took 2 cj7 apart this summer . I deal with a lot of rust stuff as u know. I also have that 18v dewalt screw impact that thing built my whole house with. on a Plus side it yellow. I got to have everything yellow.. [emoji16] I would look into that 20v dewalt . 1200lbs would break anything. Lol

Yeah including the stud!!!

One thing is that even the strongest gun will get real unpopular real quick once you break a stud. If I know the jeep is really rusty or can guess that that wheel hasn't been off for a real long time I will try a few first with the larger breaker bar, 1 -2 per wheel.
 
I have the 20v Dewault... no complaints :) but I have barely used it as it has been a recent acquisition.

That it?

How long do these batteries last (as in before you have to replace them)?

I don't have experience with the Milwaukee impact, but I have several 18 volt tools (portable band saw, sawzall, hammer drill, vacuum,etc.) on my service truck.
The batteries used to have a five year warranty, they are now three years.
I haven't had any problems getting them replaced at the supply house, after explaining to them that they were still under the five year warranty.
 
I got 3 years out of my 2 battery's . but I worked them to the bone . they still work but don't last as long as fresh. I just bought another set on Friday. 99 bucks for a pair.

Old school vs new

Weight difference is amazing and brushless too to boot

Same one here too. Works great! I also have its BIG brother at work. 900ftlbs. It'll break your wrist and will break loose anything you need!

Yeah, I noticed that the Dewalt 18V batteries I bought were made in Mexico. The old ones with the tool were made in Japan. I picked up the new ones at Lowe's so I could get a recent build code, so got some made in April of 2015. Luckily I figured out really quickly the impact didn't work worth a crap and I was able to return them.

One of the Japan made batteries (probably 10 years old) would still hold somewhat of a charge and had as much power as the new Mexico batteries, but it just wasn't very powerful.

Maybe I'll revisit the cordless and get a cheaper set of air tools.

Anyone use this setup? It actually gets really good reviews, but who knows if the reviews are filtered. Seems too good to be true for the price.

I have an aircat nitrocat 1200 composite. I love it. I think I got mine on sale for about 149$ it's super quiet compared to the old harbor fright one I had. I don't use an oiler because I don't really want to use multiple hoses. I just put a few drops in the tool before I start using it.
 
Only problem with cordless tools is that they seem to redesign the battery every few years. Sure you can still find batteries for the older stuff and occasionally chargers but why do they need a different shaped battery every 2-4 years. My brother has all cordless stuff, mostly 18v and I believe all one brand. He has 15 batteries and5 chargers because they don't fit in each other.
