<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I didn't know about the CPO site. Looks
cool! (I think I'm going to place an order there now.)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As for what I'm talking about, just
search Amazon.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Here are some of the most recent things I got that are WAY better than
I expected.</font>

<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Great cheap flood light with USB ports.
Nice for camping or blackouts.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This inverter works great. Lots
of flexibility to it. </font>

<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This soldering station is very convenient
and heats up FAST!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There are lots of other things that
seem to come and go (many of the items are no longer listed.)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This are cheap, but for what I need
them for, I have never been disappointed. The advantage is that I
have LOTS of batteries for them and it is so great to not have to get other
chargers and such.</font>

<br><font size=3>Moose, for decades I’ve worshiped @ the church of DeWalt.
For the last couple decades I’ve purchased mostly refurbished tools from
CPO Outlets. Everything has looked new, sometimes in factory packaging.
About half new price. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Can you provide any land of the rising sun brand names
or where to find them please?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Here endith the reading. </font>

Here is my take...</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Dewalt has the most tools and is really solid. (Except their chainsaw!)</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Milwaukee is pretty much top of the heap, but expensive and don't have
as many different tools.</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
All other brands are less costly and have a great selection, but seem to
be more 'consumer' than 'professional.'</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
My way is to go Dewalt for most things and do Milwaukee for the stuff they
are WAY better at. (chainsaws, pole trimmers, etc.)</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Also note, the land of the rising sun is now making tons of tools that
are compatible with Dewalt and Milwaukee's batteries. These tools
are super cheap (both in quality and price) but really extend the offerings
of both brands. Tons of options for lights, inverters, etc.</font><font size=3>

Followed all the suggestions, still not budging the lug nuts. It's running
off a regular yellow coiled air line, straight from the compressor tank.
<br>
<br>
Everyone is so bullish on the battery impacts maybe I need one. <br>
<br>
So...which one? I didn't have any other battery tools (lost in the same
fire that got my air tools), so I don't have an existing battery ecosystem
I want to use. <br>
<br>
Twenty years ago I had a Milwaukee 18v impact that was no more impressive
than the 2131 and I didn't use it except at the track. I assume they've
improved since then. <br>
<br>
Are they all about the same or is one clearly better than the others? <br>
<br>
Thanks fellas. <br>
