Exciting New Impacts from Milwaukee Tool

I received some exciting news. as many of my community know i love a tool that makes the job easier for me and electric impacts are that area for me. i love not holding an air hose up and lugging the big snap on mg725 around when i don't need that kind of power and weight. It fatigues running the air hose all the time over stuff across the floor and you never get to bring it out when changing a tire on the lot anyways. Dont get me wrong i love air tools as well but i find myself using my electric more and more these days as cars advancing into tighter areas of service. i am absolutely in love with my current compact 1/2inch impact it delivers 220 ft lbs ive taken tires off with it and other tough bolts. but it does struggle sometimes with larger fasteners which indeed take more power. so Milwaukee has the big gun to compensate for it at 1100 ft lbs. it does the job greatly but it is big and heavy (not the heaviest but heavy) . with all this being said tool manufacturers seem to never have a middle ground until the news i just received

Milwaukee tools is releasing a new mid torque impact only slightly bigger than the current one i own and use daily.
a little info directly from the horses mouth

AND were back this all means great things. As a professional service technician i love this addition to the lineup  I feel this will be great as a majority of my use is engine work, timing chains, timing belts, water pumps which involves a lot of engine mount removal  and so on. so having a stronger impact to remove those fasteners in a quick motion is fine by me. Cant wait to see this guy in action.
