It's hard to impress upon people how big a change in capabilities there was when things like Milwaukee's M18 line came out and became common. I can remember when it was unimaginable to have a battery powered sawzall worth a damn, and it's even crazier to think the battery powered M18 impact guns now often will do better than most pneumatic ones. The 18 volt lithium tools (Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, etc.) are everywhere and cheap now and kind are revolutionary in what kind of stuff they enable.

- quickthrowman 1y agoI went to an NHRA drag race event this year and watched some mechanics rebuilding an engine between races, I was surprised to see them using M18 impacts, but that’s a hell of a lot easier than dragging around a compressor and a bunch of lines!
