I have the big brother 059 300 ft pounds impact, I was looking at this model to get for smaller jobs/tight spots instead of a electric ratchet? help?

Let me put it to you this way...when I put a socket on the gun I was able to stop the socket from turning with my bare hands. In my opinion the tool is next to worthless.

i sure like mine for 5/8 inch bolts and smaller. one day i will have the second one. i abuse it sometimes and still run great.

I do find that the smaller size and light weight makes the tasks you mention a lot easier. Especially when you are limited to one hand to use the impact gun for hard to reach places. The led light does come in handy. I also feel like the balance on this impact is great. I too have the big brother so having both fit the bill for a wide range of tasks. I would recommend this tool.

I use my half inch Dewalt impact very often. I was very impressed with the power it has. It's a tool I wouldn't do without.

Well you might want the PS130 as it has the Hammer Drill feature used in concrete. Impact rate from 0-19,500.Sorry earlier post said PS131 but I ment PS130.

i can add that it doesn't have full power for me. I think it is due to being under-air powered. I have it running through 50ft of standard air line, but the compressor only generates 120psi. I haven't had time to work it out yet, but beware if you don't have a large and capable compressor, you may not get the full rating force rating of the impact wrench. also take this with a grain of salt, as I am not an expert and haven't resolved the issue. I trust Craftsman in general. the fit and finish of the gun is nice.

the impact driver definitely creates more power for almost everything. I would only get the standard drill if I was doing light detailed work only

Bit works fine for me....I would suspect too deep a cut rather than the motor. Try several shallow cuts if you haven't tried this already. Note that I used a Porter Cable model 6912, which is 1 3/4 hp, same as the router power you used. Of course if the router vibrated before it touched wood then you have a balance problem. Unlikely.

Absolutely not recommended. The leverage would make the connection unsafe even dangerous, depending on the load. Some states have legal restrictions; consult your states regulations.

My recommendation would be a variable power drill either corded or cordless that you can put a hose clamp on to vary the speed. They have a much greater range of variance without damage to the motor.

it would have to be a strong drill, air impact would probly work better but then the threads would probly come out. i used a 1/2 rachet with a socket i made just for the lift..the threads came out of the block..its a POS and i would not recomend except for light light duty couple times a year. if you value your hands and fingers get a better lift. read my review and use you own jusdment

I'm not sure how much pressure you need but blow 10 lbs it doesn't seem reliable. I think I would look for a different source.

I use a turbo head that runs off the suction and has rotating brushes - One advantage is that if you are cleaning larger areas this will allow you to get under furniture with out moving it, also you might need an adapter to go from 1.5 " to 1.25 but worth it. I have had a cleaning company for 35 years and have been using proteam back packs for 25 of them and still have the original one I purchased (OK so we have replaced the motor 5 times or so in that time , still worth it.

I am currently using the TR1200DT model. I am over 350 and it works just fine. That said, they do have a heavier duty model, the TR5000DT, but it's almost $1000 more than the 1200.

The power setting is 100% adjustable so you just use what you need. The motor is pretty efficient so you should get a lot of time from your battery. I would not go to the 55lb for a raft but this should be fine

This 5/16" link is rated by Master at 5000 pounds, for applications like towing. I would de-rate it by a factor of at least 2 for lifting overhead.

I certainly does for me, but I am a wood turner and I do not trust kewless. With a key I have personally tightened it and KNOW, it will not fail and at 3000 rpm that is a great import to me. for normal use, I am not sure, but for my quick changes I have five of them and have incamentally larger bits in each one and they work very well. Hope that assists.

as a garage door installer we use the "impact" drill as it has more torque. a drill would suffice for a homeowner

I'm using one on a 5/6 weight rod that I've set up for trolling flies. I never cast with it, so the heavier line isn't a problem. A heavier rod would increase the chance of breaking a light tippet on a strike.
