The only difference is the anvil, the slight extra torque you get from the 1/2" is just from basic physics. You have a slightly longer leaver arm on it therefore more leverage and a little more torque.

Havent noticed any difference in my 20v tools in power with the 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, or 4.0 batteries. I have 2 1.5 batteries, 4 2.0, 3 3.0, and 4 4.0 and always swamp them around never noticed any power difference in any tool. I have the brushed impact driver, both brushless model impact drivers, dcd 985 hammerdrill, dcd 995 hammerdrill, reciprocating saw, skil saw, oscillating tool, nailer, rotary hammer, etc. and dont notice a difference in any of them power wise obvious difference in run time.

I have both and yes its worth the upgrade

Thats where I find it most useful, the Milwaukee fuel requires 1st gear to run 3/4" and 1" augers I typically use (coworker has one). Meanwhile im running circles around him in 2nd gear on my dewalt.

I had both the 5/16 is better for size and I could live with that but the bits falling out or staying in the fastener every screw is a deal breaker for me. I threw one of them across the street after about the tenth receptacle I tried to install only to get to the next one with no philips bit in my driver.

Have one it sucks way too big and bulky the bits will fall out from just slight pressure. Its nearly impossible to screw anything down without the bit staying with the fastener.

I was using mine yesterday at work, I love this thing! Totally awesome

We really dont make much on a couple grand service call. I Typically have 1500 in material and labor on a 200 amp service change not including insurance, gas, wear and tear on vehicles and tools, etc.

I have the 50ft version is actually the exact same demension just heavier. It doesnt roll in as smoothly as the 25 because its the same size case and the steel tape is really stuffed in there. But I use it all the time as a professional electrician when I have short runs and dont wanna grab a big tape out the truck its fits nicely in my veto.

Havent tried any of the one+ stuff, but my old boss who is a cheapo bought a kit circular saw, reciprocating saw, drill, flashlight etc a few years back. It lasted less then a week on the job site doing electrical work. I know the drill got smoked trying to run a 5/8" auger, the circular saw dropped off a saw horse and shattered the case. The reciprocating saw burnt up cutting a notch in a top plate making room for wires in a panel. Needless to say not a fan cant tell you how many times ive dropped both dewalt and milwaukee out the attic and have never had a problem. Both also laugh at a 5/8" auger we usually run a 3/4" in them with no issues.

I dont see a 8v battery lasting but maybe a couple of sticks in a hot glue gun.

I typically get around 600 3" nails on my 3.0 battery.

Yes those dull even faster than the normal augers in my experience.

Irwin get dull way too fast if your using them a lot. Im a electrician and tried just about all ob them. Irwin cut very fast when new but dull after one nail or so. The longest lasting for me have been the greenlee nail eaters. Currently my favorites are the bosch because they are 1/3rd the price of the nail eaters but they cut faster and dont last quite as long but thats ok with the lower price since I can buy about 3 for the price of 1 greenlee. Havent tried the Milwaukee yet but looking at the design they are going to be slow like the greenlee.

Jailbreaking is your friend look into mywi and TetherMe

Awesome! Congrats

IR pumps are actually top notch the problem is they use a cheap motor and try to run the pump too fast to get their great CFM numbers, this causes the motors to fail way to often.

Congrats and enjoy!

A guy that works with me bought a set it was 10 bucks but came with way more stuff then the one you linked (nut drivers, more 3.5" bits, etc.) So far I am very impressed they seem to last just as long as my dewalts before the heads round out. So far dewalts and wera impact bits where the only ones holding up to any length of time with the abuse I put them through. With the rigids being so cheap and so far holding up they seem to be well worth it.

Charge is the better tool weak is far from a problem with them.

No run time is more than enough if you have a spare battery. Its not fast enough imo even in bump mode it takes a second to catch up if you shoot a bunch at one time.

Got it from tools plus if anyone is looking but they might be sold out now due to demand not sure. I can confirm its awesome doesnt replace a pneumatic for a framer but if your another trade like me being a electrician and am just nailing up light supports and dead wood to get boxes out of door frames and windows it is a life saver. Sinks 3.5" nails no problem.

Ive been having the framing nailer for over a month now and im very much in the U.S. Notice the 20v max and not 18 volt marketing on the box?

Run a number 4 and throw it on a 80 amp breaker. Should be more than you will ever need. Right now its going for about $4.20 cents a foot. Make sure you bond you ground bar to the panel and removed the bond between the neutral and ground bar if there is one installed in the subpanel and keep your neutrals and grounds seperate. Should be simple to come out the main panel and into the eave or side of the house with some pvc conduit and a LB to get the wire where you need to go.

So how do you get to the unit to service it?
