Will this cause my death? And yes, I know we all die eventually
 Attached Filehttps://www.harborfreight.com/automotive/impact-wrenches/20v-cordless-34-in-xtreme-torque-impact-wrench-kit-with-40-ah-battery-fast-charger-and-case-64350.html Needed an impact wrench to adjust the stabilizer jacks on the new trailer and to be ready for tire changes (yes, I have a non-Harbor Freight torque wrench). It was on sale. |

You’ll be fine. If you own other brands of cordless tool, may not have been a good idea since the batteries aren’t interchangeable. I try to stick to one battery platform.

I bought there 20 volt 1 gallon spot sprayer for those weeds that seem to pop up after it rains here. I bought a adapter to use my DeWalt batteries that works pretty well. The sprayer rocks, I may buy the impact gun and another adapter as I have a few spare dealt chargers and batteries. Just keep it in the trailer.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just keep it in the trailer. That's the point; I'm putting together a tool kit that will be kept in the trailer. Probably use once of those budget mechanic's tool sets, a good wiring kit, and a reasonably priced meter (no, I'm not buying a Fluke for this applications). Have a 4ft level that will go in the trailer storage, as well. |

It was on sale. pro-tip: if the power tool you're looking at, at harbor freight has packs of motor brushes for it, right next to it, do not buy that item. why would someone need to buy a pack of motor brushes, the same time they bought a power tool? |

Accessories for a 3/4" were insanely expensive so I returned it and bought a different 1/2" model I had a 10% off coupon for.

I don't evern buy HF battery powered tools.
The reason is that they change the shit too often. Where as, all the major brands are still pumping out tried and true stuff. I have a Rigdig 1/2" 20v impact. I bought it 10 years ago. I can go right into the homeless despot and buy a new battery for it if I so desire. |

Sometimes, when people want to borrow my Milwaukee tools, I just go buy them a Harbor Freight version to use. Oddly enough, all my Milwaukee tools still work and are accounted for. No idea where all those Harbor Freight versions went. Saves me money and sanity in the long run.
