Anyway I have always believed in quality tools, you get what you pay for basically. As I use them less and less (gettin older) I dont feel like paying for the best any longer as they wear out. Now Im not buying new Makita batterys at the price they cost anymore.

This is on woot. https://tools.woot.com/offers/sata-18v-1-4-drive-hex-brushless-impact-driver-2?ref=w_cnt_wp_2_8

Here it is an amazon https://www.amazon.com/SATA-18-Volt-4-Inch-Brushless-Lithium-Ion/dp/B088GQJDR9

Im going in for a dime. Not a dollar.

Make a tools sub. I'd subscribe to it.

The prices for the sata impact driver are all over the place looking up its price history on amazon. I can't guarantee that the batteries will have available replacements when they stop holding a charge either.

Hey I get the tool and two batteries for less than replacing my Makita batterys. I dont use it commercially anymore.

Some stuff is worth buying top tier, but if it's something I know I won't use much I'll get a harbor freight. I keep an envelope in the tool box with the receipt. They want that for warranty now.

I bought a ball joint press from them for an old dodge I had. It worked for that. It was for a one time use (hopefully). I loaned it to another and it bent and was fucked up royally.

Try to warranty it?

Nah, I bought it like 12 years ago and loaned it out last year. Like I said I got it expecting a one time use. If I was a real mechanic I would have bought better.

Aside from the other DIY subs already listed, there is a more general tools and other construction sub called . I think that should cover your general tool posting needs.
