You know, I had to think but last time I used the m12 3/8 was to replace the lug nuts on the kids Rubi with McGuard spline drive lugnuts and it did fine. But that was maybe 80-100 ft/lbs of effort. Meh.

Well I gave her all the way on a lower shock bolt and now I have to slap the back of the cap to get it to work again AND it's starting to smell like burning chinesium as well lol
I have not had any issues with the M12 1/2" impact. The M12 3/8s impact is not the same animal.

Which is weird bc it's just a different sized anvil. The rest of the tool should be the between the 3/8" & 1/2".

I got the 3/8" because those thinner wall sockets tend to fit into more areas on the Tacoma and Volvos.

And I'll say it again, you need a pair of these knipex wire strippers. I have every other kind of wire strippers and I never use them anymore. The ability to dial in a set length of wire you want to strip everytime is a game changer.

I bought those things many moons ago. I like them.

Got a 2.5A high output M12 battery off Scamazon to try out.

Got in a new garage door opener belt for my Ryobi garage door opener along with a 4A lithium battery for the garage door opener "battery backup". Man, Cryobi batteries are cheap.

Thing is those batteries are really no different internally than the red or yellow ones, but those cocksuckers charge and arm and a leg for them.

Because they know their customers are assholes who will try to warranty everything they can. They build the price knowing the primary buyer is commericial and going to pay it.
