Neat. So there will be brackets attached to the rails and the cases slide into the brackets? I assume that the brackets are adjustable to accommodate the different heights of the cases and there will be ultimately 3 banks of cases. That's a lot of cases! Will look like a bank's safety deposit vault.

I had plans to modify my second DW056 impact driver and turn it into a DW057 1/2" impact wrench a few months ago. After researching a bit more I decided against it. 1. I priced out the parts for the mod (housing and anvil). With shipping and taxes it wasn't that much more to buy a brand new DC820B which was on sale for $109 CAN or DW059B which was on sale for $129 CAN and both were in stock. 2. By doing the mod, although I knew it would work, it wasn't guaranteed. Plus there was no guarantee that it would do what I wanted it to do as in number 3. 3. Torque. DW056 - 98 in-lbs. DC820B - 145 in-lbs. DW059 - 300 in-lbs. I needed a tool that could easily drive 1/2" x 6" lag screws into pressure treated 6x6's or remove lug nuts effortlessly. I ended up buying a DW059 to complement my two DW056's. I'm happy that I did because I have used both impact drivers at the same time (less frequent bit changes).

I could definitely use something like this. I have all my packs (10) in my van at all times (charged the day before) but some of them don't last too long and are on their last legs. There have been a few situations when I'm on the jobsite where a corded reciprocating saw or corded circular saw would have been handy. My next purchases are these two items but if they had this adaptor I'd buy that instead.

So I have two DW056 impact drivers (1/4" hex). The discontinued DW057 is an impact wrench (1/2" drive). I am contemplating converting one of my DW056's into a DW057. I was on the Dewalt website and looked at the exploded diagrams and parts lists of the DW056 and DW057. Looks like it is just the anvil that is different. I know that the torque would be considerably lower than a DC820, DC821, or DC822. Any thoughts? Anyone with experience on this?
