Finally gave in and tried a cordless impact for suspension work

I was dead set against swapping my air gun for a battery powered one for years. Thought they didn't have enough torque for stuck bolts and rusted nuts. Then last month I was doing a strut job on a 2015 F-150 in my driveway and my compressor kept kicking on every 5 minutes. My neighbor brought over his Milwaukee high torque and I watched it snap loose a lower strut bolt that I had been soaking in PB Blaster for 20 minutes. It took maybe 2 seconds and I just stood there. I bought the same model that weekend and now I barely touch my air tools for anything under the car. Has anyone else had that moment where they finally admit battery stuff is just better?

Same thing happened to me with my Dewalt last year. Game changer.
