I’ve got an arsenal of air tools, but my Milwaukee tool collection seems to be growing by the day. I think I left an unusually amorous drill alone in a dark drawer far too long with a particularly promiscuous impact gun. Every time I open the drawer, the family of red power tools has expanded. If they were suburbanites, they’d be purchasing their 3rd minivan right now.

Since I’ve gone deep on red tools, I’ve also amassed a collection of batteries that’d make old Elon blush. The (financially) dangerous thinking at work is now: “Since I’ve already got all the batteries and chargers, I might as well have all the tools”. Faulty logic aside, it’s easier than dragging around an air hose.

Note to potential buyers: This does not come with a battery or charger. Also, verify part numbers and specs when purchasing a Milwaukee impact. The Milwaukee 2767-20 M18 Fuel High Torque 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench with Friction Ring has 1400 ft lbs of reverse torque and 1000 ft lbs of fastening torque. My local hardware store had a very similar model for sale for the same price that was rated for about half the power.

Also, please use impact sockets with your ugga-dugga or it will turn into a highly efficient chrome socket splitter.
