I’ve used all the big name brands (Milwaukee, Makita, Dewalt, Ridgid) and have had the best luck with Milwaukee. Buy once, cry once with regards to cost. You won’t need their heavy duty version to remove lugs. They will easily come off with the standard impact and a charged 5.0 battery.
My impact is the older generation, so things may have changed since then, but I’ve been happy with their 1/4 & 3/8 speed ratchets, the stubby 3/8 impact and the 1/2 mid-torque impact. The latter of which I’ve used to remove balancer bolts, along with rusted on suspension hardware and cross member bolts.

Sounds like the impact wasn’t brushless.
Whichever brand you go with, make sure you get their top tier grade and you shouldn’t have a problem. Milwaukee has a line called “fuel”. There are Milwaukee M12/M18 tools and Milwaukee M12/M18 Fuel. There is a substantial difference. It’s like buying a John Deere lawn mower at big box store vs. buying one at a dealership. Same color, different internal parts.

You and I would be dangerous together. Remind me to never take you with me to do any tool shopping.

The new Milwaukee batteries will fit their older tools. The only problem with their batteries are the big boys 9.0 and 12.0. They won’t charge on the old chargers and they are the only batteries you want for some of their tools like the worm drive saw, their outdoor power equipment (leaf blower, chainsaw, weed whip). Otherwise you will drain the 5.0 and 8.0 batteries QUICK.
The mid and high torque impact will work with the 5.0 batteries, but their is a night and day difference when you put in a 8.0, 9.0 or 12. The weight of the 12.0 is stupid heavy compared to the tools and can be really awkward. With my M18 tools I run 5.0 in almost everything and 8.0 in the mid-torque.
Every battery and fuel tool I’ve ever had an issue with was replaced no questions asked - same as you with the Ridgid. And like you mentioned, once you commit to one specific brand it’s expensive to switch.

Wait what? There are different rules for different counties? It’s not the same across the board for the whole state? Does it matter where you live with regards to which county you register in?Except evap. It will never set, maybe in 2-3 months…
I could never get my Silverado to set that one. After 2 months I registered it in a non -smog county.

Different rules for different counties in WI.

Ok…makes perfect sense. And you can then drive across that invisible county line and not require their “stamp of approval” for the tune you just installed, so long as you pay their county for the inspection?
*or more strict rules depending on which direction you drive. Legal extortion, what an interesting racket.

In Oregon, the smog testing is only done in the 2 major metropolitan areas-Portland and Eugene. Outside of those cities, there’s no requirement. Our neighbor to the north, Washington, quit testing altogether last year. They said cars are now clean enough that they don’t need to be tested. California should take note. And no, it doesn’t matter where you live here. It matters where the vehicle is registered. I can use my brothers address to register my trucks to, and since I’m the owner they send the paperwork and tags to me at my home. There’s an option to send the paperwork to either location, as well as a one-time option so you can have them sent anywhere at the time of registration.

It does. So it's probably not in spec.

Nice! That looks nearly identical to the milwaukee. Even has the same modes! If it works anywhere near the same, you won't be disappointed
it's the same here if you have a address up in the sierra's there is no smog required in CA.
Passed smog and I put the BB tune back on
Awesome work! F the govmnt
the evap still wasn't set but it wasn't pending any code I started it up last night let it warm up and twice in early in the morning, you are allowed 1 unset sensor in Ca as long as everything else is good
That’s what I was wondering, if you’re allowed one. We aren’t here, and it’s stupid so I just said f*ck you guys I know how to get around this. Now I don’t even mess with getting smogged. They forced my hand lol.

I haven't had to smog test my 95 mustang to get plates renewed in like 15 years, lol.
It's not OBDII, so only cars 96 and newer get tested here. They started that back around 2008 or 2009

Same here. I think that’s pretty much the norm.

In Jersey every one has to be ready. Anything over 25 yrs old doesn't need inspection.

Can't fix stupid
Here it's over 30 is exempt.
last time i had smog done on the hoe, i noticed they had the obd2 check, and they had a sniffer in my exhaust...
Probably just that one shop.
+I was watching them like a hawk.
I think they also noticed my AFR heads, on the passenger side you can see the logo clearly...
They were all looking and pointing.
Might have had something to do with it.
