YMMV Bosch Freak Impact driver/Wrench 1/2" with 4ah Core battery and Charger $59.27, in store only
$49.67
$199.00
Just grabbed the last few of the Bosch Freak GDX18V-1800C Impact Driver/Wrench at the Lowe's near me.
These come with the CORE 18v 4ah battery,, charger,, bag,, etc.. the battery is worth it itself. I've switch over many of my tools to Bosch since they upgraded their batteries.
I've seen mixed reviews on this driver, and I've beaten my oldest one to death over the past few months... and it's far better than my Dewalt XR and only slightly less powerful than my Japanese Makita (the red one). But it's overall the best driver I've used in years as it allows me to use 1/4" hex Impact bits, or 1/2" Impact sockets without an adapter.
So far, I've used it for simple tasks, all the way to slamming 8" ⅜" lags into hardwood and its been great. I did lugs on my truck, but it was at its max peak power and definitely wouldn't replace my HD Impact wrench, but it's comparable to my 3/8" Impact xr from dewalt... and the Hog Ring on the Bosch is much better.
so if you can find one in your local LOWES, get on it. and if you are yet to try Bosch new platform, this will get you started. And now that their batteries have gone from worst to best, it's a $60 entry into the platform.
Hopefully someone could do the Brickseek thing for me, as I'm not sure how to use that.
Good luck!!
Edit: Just seen the Store north of me has this kit for $49.67 So I'm heading there now.
Guess what I'm giving everyone for Christmas.

Aw man I didn't think of that!! Darn I paid $80
😞 did you try Brickseek to see if any were available at other Lowe's?
I just grabbed 2 more at a Lowe's by a friend's house I spent the weekend at. (I gifted one to those friends because they only had corded drills from the 1950's... the big shiny steel types that weigh 30lbs lol.
Ended up with a Ridgid instead. I do have all Bosch for driver/drill/saw and love them.
Well, I wouldn't consider this to be good for lugs if in a pinch.
I've tested the torque a lot now, and I get 175ft/lb, or more, every time. It cannnnnn do lugs, but it's not intended to, and will eventually destroy it.
This will do just fine and I found one for 79.57 near me.
Even before I left the store, I tested it out on my 120 foot pound torqued lugs nuts and it spun them right off.
I'm still testing how the Profactor 8ah battery might vary strength of a bosch tool, but I'm getting 175ft/lb or more... but it gets reallll hot doing it lol.

I do it with a digital torque calibration adapter.
