Thanks, not sure if I'd ever need the 1000 ft lbs for the m18.

I have the 1/2" version and it's a beast, but unless they've fixed the detent pin it is seriously annoying and imo defective. The pin is beveled instead of round so you have to depress it with a pin of some sort to get sockets on and off. I keep a pan head screw on the belt clip for that purpose. Another fix is to put an adapter/small extension on the end of it, but that's got its own issues as well.

I'm seeing the 1/2" version for the same price. Is it better to use an adapter to go down to 3/8 or use an adapter to get 1/2"?

1/2 inch. The 3/8 is still powerful. I have both but tend to reach for the 1/2 inch more for rusted bolts and lugs

What some people call defective, others call a feature. If you're working up high, possibly above people, the last thing you want is to accidentally drop a socket off of your impact. If you're using an impact for automotive work where you want to be able to quickly change sockets and aren't worried about dropping them, a circlip instead of a pin for socket retention is best. If you have pin, you can usually rotate the socket so it doesn't engage, if that is your preference.

This video seems to show it's better to go 3/8" and use an adapter to get 1/2".

That's also a pretty long adapter, the low-profile ones are supposed to lose less torque.

I had both since my M12 got stolen. The M18 1/2" zips those rusted-out bolts on heavy-duty jobs. The M18 can use the 2.0Ah battery and if still too much power for the job, you can always turn the power down to level 1.

I've never had sockets fall off any ratchets with round detent pins, including a M12 ratchet. I have a M18 impact wrench with much more torque that has a friction ring and the sockets pull off easily, so any claim by Milwaukee that impact sockets need to lock in place makes no sense. It IS a beast of a tool for its size, but to me the detent pin is an issue that buyers should be aware of.

Both are rated the same as far as specs are concerned I'm pretty sure. Basically the same gun just diff anvils.

Where would I get a charger if it's my first Milwaukee tool? This seems to be their best product
