I have one of these and rarely use it. It pays for itself when doing cranks bolts, suspension, etc... but my mid-torque does most of those and its lighter.

Don't know who downvoted you, but you're 100% right. I use my mid-torque on the vast majority of car work, and only break out the high torque for stuff like crank bolts. It would just be silly to use this on most other things. This is great to have, just in case, but it's completely unnecessary for what most people would use it for, which is taking off lug nuts and other easy-to-remove stuff. A sub compact takes off all but the most over-torqued lugs. Lol.

Does the mid torque ever go on sale? $179 for a single tool compared to this deal for $199. This is a much better deal
Sometimes but not as often. It has more demand than this gun so that may be why they put this one onsale more often.
Labor day is coming as sometimes its on holidays.
I got my mid torque with a grease gun and digital tire inflator for $219 last year. That was normally $460. It wasn't even a hacked deal. It was a single box bundle. I know that doesn't help anyone now, but my point is mid torque deals do come around, and that deal was massively better than this one. No one is saying this is a bad deal, though. Just that it's very much overkill for the vast majority of DIY people. Most people won't even need a mid torque. I got away with using a sub compact for a long time. Even that does nearly everything your average Joe would do on a car.
