Jerry,

Nice find!

I have their 1/2" drill and small impact screwdriver.

As I use them only when I'm in the USA (4 months per year) I've found that the NiCad batteries leave a lot to be desired. I charge
them fully when I leave but they don't hold a charge while I'm gone. Plus after sitting a year when they are fully charged now they
don't run the tools very long.

I intend to contact the guy that rebuilds batteries and see if he can replace the NiCad's with NiMh.

Regards,
Rob M.

Harbor Fright now has an 18V NiCd 1/2 in impact wrench. Their ad says it has 220 ft/lbs of torque but the box says 330 (?). Anyway
I went ahead and
bought one for $120 and of course I had my 20% off coupon, so it came to $96. It comes with a battery, charger, 3 in extension and
a reversible 17
and 19 mm socket, plus a carrying case. The purchase of a spare battery for $15 was mandatory. It may not last long and of course
the batteries will
die, but for the time being, "I got mine".

Also, this is the first time I walked into a HF and they actually had an 18V battery in stock AND on sale.
