    I have Dewalt and Milwaukee 3/8" and 1/2" impacts. My newest Milwaukee 3/8" mid torque now gets most of the use. It will do 600 lb ft and it's lighter than my 1/2 versions.
    I use it around the shop extensively. I carry the 1/2" DW in the F350 and the 1/2" Milwaukee in the F150. If I ever need more than the mid torque 3/8" will do I just walk over to one of the trucks and get one.
    In the F350 I also carry cordless drill, grinder, and flashlight..

    I see no difference in quality or how they work between the DW and Milwaukee

    Total: $349.00

    from farmandfleet.com

    I had called around to various dealers and found this sale was as deep as anything I would see Black Friday.

    Still deciding if I should get a torque stick - probably will. Is the 80/100 ft lbs the one I want for lug nuts?
    I wouldn’t trust a torque stick for final torque. It’s great to set 2nd stage torque below final spec then use a torque wrench to do final torque

    I run my lugs in by hand all the way, then use a 90 lb torque stick for second round then do a final torque to 120 ft/lbs with a mechanical torque wrench.

    Here is a link to the “official” specs and procedures. https://gdrv4life.granddesignrv.com/...eel-nut-torque

    120 ft/lbs final torque covers all 14, 15 and 16” wheels.

    I agree torque stick is just to get close and final should always be a torque wrench by hand. Right now I only do 100 on my 16" rims with 1/2 studs (chart shows 90-120). Maybe I should bump up a bit, but so far no issues. 100 is what Discount Tire said to use when they put my new 16" wheels and tires on.

    Thanks for the post

    My 50 year old S-K 1/2 inch 150 ft/lbs beam wrench isn't going to cut it any more. Guess I'll need to upgrade. Hope GD is using bolts and not flange nuts with the 17.5" wheels....
