Need: 1/2" drive impact, battery. But the catch, it needs to be stubby, not a full size one. The kobalt full size is just too big sometimes to fit where I need it, for example, needing to jerk a deck a off a time master to change the left spindle, the pulley nut was seized bad. Breaker bar wasn't cutting it. It wasn't a pain to take the deck off at all, BUT was unnecessary, if I had the correct tool.
I looked at milwaukee, but they only advertise 250ft lb of breakaway, while I found a dewalt, same size, with 450 ftlbs of breakaway. At just under 5" in total length, plus your socket...
I'm leaning hard on the dewalt. Main purpose is changing blades... kobalt doesn't have anything compact like this with the torque I want.
