Will do. The promo on at Home Depot (until end of Oct) buys you the impact for $180, and you get a battery and charger with it thrown in (worth $150). I'll let you know how it goes.
Kool, I have a Makita Li Ion drill with 2 5.0 AH batteries so I'll likely get an impact that uses the same packs but that will depend on if I can get one that cheap.
The only thing I ever use an impact driver (the air or motorized kind) for is installing car wheels. The manual ones I posted do well for loosening and tightening. Plus, most motorcycle stuff has torque numbers, so you're not using an impact driver for much.
Yeah I totally hear you guys. I won't be using the thing for tightening stuff up, just for breaking loose bolts and the like. There have been a few occasions where a bolt has been my undoing, however -
- no longer. This thing is the absolute dogs bollocks, got the clutch nut off without blinking. Winter tire changes are going to be a walk in the park with this thing, and with 450ft lbs of torque I can't imagine many situations where I'd need more. Unless that build-an-Eiffel-tower itch needs scratching.
I've got a Chicago Pneumatic impact wrench running on continuous 105psi and a Milwaukee battery powered impact wrench and the Milwaukee shits on the CP, so much so that I haven't used the air one in a couple of years.

My Chicago Pneumatic 3/8 and 1/2 are good for spinning in/out already loosened bolts. Their air ratchets are good for spinning themselves with no load.
It's a beast. I won't be using it every day (sadly), but when I need it it's gonna be invaluable. Neighbours are lining up already to use the thing come winter tire change time.
Clutch bolts, fork bolts, axle bolts, cylinder studs...just wish I got to work on these things more often. This thing's the shit.
Yep I had a corded electric first and it was heavy and it worked until one really stuck bolt and I burned the motor out of it. Went compressor and pneumatic after that.
