Took out the transmission mount just to find out that it's welded so I can't use the BFI insert. I got nothing accomplished

Team Red lured me in with their ratchets and stubby impact wrenches. Sure beats kicking the cheater bar wondering if the car's going to fall off the jack stands and crush a leg.I only have a large electric impact, which won't fit for the brake bolts

I have a few cordless tools of theirs. The stubby impact is on my "need to buy list".
It’s pretty much perfect for anything on cars like ours, don’t really need anymore power than it has.
Not to help the Acadia budget, but on sale for 190 now with charger and 2 batteries…

Already have a charger and M12 & M18 batteries, so I could do it even cheaper with just the tool only. That is the one I plan on getting, eventually though.
I’d love that set up, but not sure I could air out…. Might have to look into that tho

Ah fuck it.
I already have their full sized M18 Fuel 1/4" hex impact driver that I use all the time. Figure having a littler one around would be helpful as well.

Yea I was gonna say may as well. Tool only is 179 for stubby, or like 160 if your really hunting, may as well get some batteries for only 10$ more.

I got involved in the Milwaukee ecosystem from about 5 years ago, I got a free M18 Drill/Impact Driver kit free from Uline for spending like $10k on an order at work lol. I've since got their M12 cordless ratchet which I use frequently.
I've wanted the stubby impact for some time. This is my current one:

I got it on sale for like $100. Really, it's only good for taking off wheels because it's so big and bulky. The Milwaukee stubby should have similar power, while being a fraction of the size and weight.

Shit I’m half tempted to grab one too, if nothing else but to avoid this when I have to do the rear brakes this spring:
Ah then you've got more than me fo sho. Jake convinced me years ago to get that stubby impact......has paid off uncountless times
I need that cordless ratchet in my life

I don't remember if it was my old RX-7 or Mk5 Rabbit but it was sketchy enough that I've used a lift since then.
