<div dir="auto">I forgot--I got a DeWalt cordless chainsaw for Christmas, so maybe I do have a battery ecosystem already. Though I won't be upset if DeWalt 's impact isn't the way to go. I haven't opened up the saw yet since it's been snowy. I *think* it uses 20v batteries. I'll look to confirm when I get home.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">A battery chainsaw. I remember 8-track tapes. And we're buying my wife a battery-powered car, with OEM 22-inch rims. The world has changed. I think I'm old now.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Scott Hall</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:scott.hall.personal@gmail.com">scott.hall.personal@gmail.com</a>></span><br>Date: Sat, Mar 1, 2025, 5:07 PM<br>Subject: Battery impacts, was: weak impact<br>To: <a href="mailto:shop-talk@autox.team.net">shop-talk@autox.team.net</a> <<a href="mailto:Shop-talk@autox.team.net">Shop-talk@autox.team.net</a>><br></div><br><br><div dir="auto">Followed all the suggestions, still not budging the lug nuts.
