Default Cordless Impact

I got a craftsman cordless impact last christmas and never really had a chance to try it out. It's the bigger of the two styles they sell and are the same 19.2v battery some of my other tools take. I haven't found a bolt on this cub that it couldn't take off. It even took the lug nuts off my truck. I've been super impressed. I used to drag out my air impact for everything but I've been really happy with this. And for the $150 price including a big battery and charger it's really not that bad, and with up to 300 ft lbs of torque it's pretty beefy.

As a home owner/tinkerer. I love the Sears 19.2 series. My favorite was the sawzall and now it's the 1/4" impact. Drives drywall screws, lags bolts and removes most smaller nuts and bolts. I have maybe have 10 different tools and now with the new Lithium line of batteries. They are better than ever. The chainsaw comes in handy around and farm also. I'm trying to get the hedge trimmer. I've got something special in mind for it.

I have a bunch of 19.2 Craftsman cordless tools. I was ready to scrap them for Dewalt or Makita until Sears came out with the Lithium Ion XCP batteries. They are awesome.

I have a Dewalt 20v max 1/4" brushless impact I use in the body and shop and its just a beast! Its the best tool I have ever bought. It would work for most anything on a cub.

I have an old Harbor Freight 1/2" cordless that I used to use at the race track. Reminds me that I need to dig it out and see if the battery is still good.

I have several 19.2v craftsman tools and there great, the impact has been on my list for a while but i always seem to forget about it when I have some extra money to burn.

This is what I have... 700 foot lbs fastening torque & 1100 foot lbs nut busting torque. This bad boy has YET to meet something it wont loosen or break.

Used to use a 3/4" drive breaker bar and 6' cheater pipe, supported by the chain hoist to tighten the duals up on our 8920. Got that impact last year and with about 3 seconds on the trigger those bolts don't come loose till June when the impact takes them out.

After first time using it, we did the typical drive in figure 8s and re-checked with the breaker bar... couldnt get even a smidgen of movement with the breaker bar setup. I was impressed, even dad and grandpa were amazed.

Milwaukee is absolutely second to none for reliability and quality. I use both m18 and m12 FUEL power tools on my service truck. It comes at a price, but im there to get the job done and Milwaukee performs



Side note, it hardly ever, almost never gets used on cub cadets. If i do use an impact, my m12 fuel 1/4" does just about every i need for my gt hobby

Milwaukee is the best! Kicks Snap-On's a$$. I switched to Milwaukee for all my electric tools long ago. Still have a IR cordless impact, but it's shot. I tell you.... IR is the best in air tools, but they were not the best in electric. I don't have one of their cordless impacts, but I had a friend buy one.... HOLY CRAP! It would give my air gun a run for it's money. It was amazing! I just never bought one because I'm used to an air gun. Cordless is cool, but I never run out of air.

love my M12 tools recently had to borrow my works mechanics 20v or whatever dewalt uses 1/2'' impact couldnt hardly put in 6'' 3/8'' lagg puts got tired of it used my little 3/8'' m12 fuel impact drove them right into the timbers and even the switch tie i was using. i was pleasantly impressed with its performance on the lagg screws. ive been wanting to buy the 18v 1/2'' impact but boy they are pricey. i dont think id buy a different brand of cordless tools considering Milwaukee has got anything and everything you need in their m18 or m12 line

I try to buy most value for the buck and my Milwaukee cordless tool always did great, even if the new one are not made in USA anymore. My electric tool collection is composed of Fein, Hilti, Metabo, Bosh, Milwaukee, and few very old Makita. The only Dewalt tool I ever own was a $300 cordless drill who die few days after the warranty end....

I have a Milwaukee M12 heating "Hoody", this help keep me warm when my Helly Henson -40F 2 pieces winter suit is not enough

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
