I passed at 120 because this is just so so heavy. At 80 it's a difficult decision.

I just ordered the mid torque and 2x 6ah batteries for $250 from HD. However this and the battery deal they have is a deal in its own. Shame the mid-torque isn't on sale anymore on DTO.

Hm tough choice. I already invested in Milwaukee M12 fuel set and Makita 18v LXT set. Should I get this or wait for sale on a Makita impact wrench (that will likely never happen)?

I got the MAX 6Ah and 4Ah with charger for $75 @ Depot a while back. Can't decide if the 2x4Ah + 2Ah is better. Still within return period…

Isn't the octane still the highest torque 18V wrench ever?

I guess it is. I don't think I'll ever need that much torque and Makita is a brand I can trust that will last. But at $360.

The new Dewalt high torque passed it up recently. Check out torque test channel on YouTube. You're right about the power, but still doesn't hurt to have it available for this price

Deals like these are why I went with Ridgid. Maybe they're not always best (although this tool is their crown jewel and has a legitimate claim to one of the best high torque) but they're always damn good tools and if you're patient enough you can get everything you want at bottom tier tool prices. Definitely cementing itself as the best bang for your buck brand.

A lot of people don't want/can't justify paying for top tier but also don't want cheap garbage. Ridgid is the brand for folks like that. I used to be a fan of Kobalt, but their deals are so sporadic and vary based on location that it can be frustrating. Hercules new brushless line up intrigues me, but until they've proven themselves Ridgid is king in this market. The LSA is just the icing on the cake.

Hercules 90 day warranty versus Ridgid lifetime (free replacement batteries), leaves no question who to go with.
