haha i have no idea, i guess i get a kick out of trying them all out, the reason im comparing them to the 20v line is my work is fairly light duty, 3/8th lags for the baseplate of the dish mast is the most strenuous work i put them through, other than occasionally driving a 5/8th spade bit through a top plate for an interior wall drop.

So the most strenuous task i do with my impact is put in 3/8th lagbolts into roofs to mount Satellite Dish Masts. I started with the ridgid x4 impact, then the fuel m12 impact then the brushed m12 impact then moved to the brushed dewalt 20v impact (which i have given to a friend). Most days all the torque i needed was in the fuel m12 impact which is great because it makes my toolbelt alot lighter. So the question is, do any of you have experience with the ridigid 12v impact which is rated at (1100 inch pounds torque) ? because i would rather buy that with the 3 led's (work at night often) than repurchasing a m12 fuel impact for a higher price (1200 inch pounds torque). Second question is , does anyone have a strong opinion on balance and weight of dewalth compact 20v impact vs ridgid 12v impact vs m12 fuel impact?
