I agree with more $49 tools, but 1/4" drive on this thing makes it essentially worthless. I opted for the 1/2" version:

1/4" drive is actually safer when working with lower torque bolts that significantly reduces chances of snapping them off. It's also lighter causing less fatigue.

A 1/4" drive impact is a very different tool with very different uses than a 1/2" drive impact. They are not interchangeable. You would use a 1/4" drive on most hardware inside an engine bay, whereas a 1/2" drive is used for things like suspension and wheel lugs. Using a 1/2" impact on M6 or M8 bolts/studs is a great way to turn a 5 minute job into an all-day ordeal due to shearing off the fastener.

$49 for a 1/4" impact is a great deal and I'm in.

It'll be a trade on using a 3/8" ratchet or impact driver vs a 1/4" wrench

Ok, maybe I need to be educated.

I don't see why I would use a 1/4" impact wrench instead of a 1/4" impact driver. I think a driver would be much more versatile.

I already have an impact driver, hence why I opted for the 1/2" wrench.

a few weeks ago this was on sale for $79 with the 4ah highoutput battery. Lowes is having a hard time selling the 1/4". if you are not in a rush, that deal may come back again
