Like I said. It's probably too good to be true. Label is of the 3/4 Impact. Description is about a light. I'm not going to try. If I needed a battery the light with the battery is worth $62. If you get the impact great deal. If you get both super! Never heard of them before so I'll wait and see if the gutsy guys that ordered lucked out or got got nothing.

M18 FUEL 3/4in high Torque Impact Wrench Kit 2764-22 for $62.67. Probably to good to be true but here it is: http://www.mytoolsforyou.com/automotive-tools/MWK-2764-22.html

Dang, Now I'm looking for a screwdriver.

I have to check the local HD today I'd grab all three if they where $30. I'm watching for a deal on a 2457-20 3/8 M12 wrench or 2668-20 3/8 M18 Impact Wrench

I have been waiting for a deal on Milwaukee power tools. If you know of a deal or when to expect another Milwaukee power tool deal let me know. I have been waiting for something like a "Buy a tool & get a free battery".

Boy a birthday that keeps giving! I'm jealous, I have been waiting for a Milwaukee tool deal. Would like another get a tool and get a free battery. Just hope I don't have to wait until Christmas.

Just buy another M18 tool. This is fate telling you you need another toy.

Milwaukee all the way! With fond memories of Bosch.

Good to know. I have a Husqvarna shop I can walk to. Next chain I get will be a Husqvarna chain.

Good to hear the 2654 is potent enough for lug nuts and general use. If I can find a good deal on one I may get it. But talk of a lighter 3/8 impact has me now looking for a M12 2457. Seems to be real light, fits into spaces the 2763 or 2654 can't go and gives the ability to finish the tighten by hand. I'm kind of waiting to see what new Milwaukee stuff is coming out soon but if a good deal on a 2457 happens I may not be able to resist.

Did a lot of work with my 2763 and chrome Kobalt sockets today. Great combination!

The Makita 18Vx2 saw is pretty compelling. What do you like better about the Milwaukee saw?

There is another quality manufacturer few know about Dolmar. My Dolmar PS-5100 is a screaming beast. Started out to get a Stihl or Husqvarna but a tree cutting pro friend told me about Dolmar. Got my PS-5100 about five years ago and could not be happier. Back then Dolmar was trying to get in the US market and had great prices, not sure about the pricing today.

I pretty much have given up on air tools. Compressor tank rusted out and replaced with a small compressor. Battery tools seem the better choice now, no hoses, more power (700ft lbs vs 250 ft lbs) and less noise.

I'm about to get the M12 3/8 wrench. I have the M18 1/2 impact 2763 and love it but need something for the tighter spaces. Is the M12 3/8 wrench worth getting or is it just as easy to use a 3/8 ratchet or Gearwrench ratcheting wrench?

Yeah I have the 2763 to get me out of a jam, when nothing else will work like a breaker bar with pipe extension. My air wrench saved me a few times and failed me other times. The 2763 is for those "other times" hopefully saving me from bringing out the torch or grinding wheel. I have thought about getting the 2402 screwdriver but have read not very good reviews about it's 2401 non-fuel brother. Does the 2402 have advantages over using the 2404 drill?

I did not get the 2763 to remove lug nuts. I find my four-way tire iron just as quick. I plan to use the 2763 on those hard to turn rusted nuts I have used my air wrench on in the past. Some nuts where too tight for the air wrench and caused quite a problem. I got the 2763 with these nuts in mind, plus I can throw the 2763 in the truck to use away from the shop. The only advantage I see of the 2654 is weight. If I plan to use a impact for many nuts/bolts I can throw a 3/8" adapter on my M18 or M12 1/4" hex impact. I probably will finish tightening with a torque wrench anyway.

OK guys, I have a bucket that is exactly what I want except I have had two and the bucket keeps cracking (at the red arrow). The first bucket cracked the first time I used it. I was careful with the second bucket and it cracked the third time I used it. Obviously the handle is way too weak and needs to be strengthened. I now have a another one of these buckets and planned to fill in the underside of the handle to strengthen it. I originally planned to fill the underside with silicon or liquid nail stuff. Now I read that it is hard to get something to adhere to Polypropylene. So far I have only found two glues for Polypropylene 3M Scotch-Weld DP8005 and Loctite Plastics Bonding system. Both are glues and would be to expensive to fill the underside of the rim. Any ideas?

My 1/2" USA Craftsman sockets are loose but I just picked up a standard chrome 1/2" Kobalt socket set and they are nice and snug.

A station in Durand, MI sells ethanol free gas.

If it sounds like the motor is turning I would take the saw apart and see what happened. It is possible a part came loose and it can be fixed. What have you got to loose?

I noticed the same on my M18 Fuel 1/2" impact (2763) and my craftsman sockets are USA made. I just got some impact sockets and they seem to fit much more snug.

I started using the 2763 yesterday and the sockets kept falling off. Seems the friction ring is not holding the socket securely. Is there a specific way to attach the socket?

Ordered a 2763-20 from Home Depot for $219 while Menards was having their 11% off sale. Seems Home Depot will match the 11% off for instore purchases during this time. Since the 2763 is only available online I sent in a request for the 11% off on that purchase. Waiting to see if they honor a online purchase not available instore.
