    Q:Why does this �" Brushless Subcompact and the ?"s Brushless Subcompact have THE EXACT SAME SPECS? Wouldn't the �" be able to dish out more ft/lbs? But... same RPMS. Same FT/LBS. What's with that?

    A:  Because they are the same tool except one has a 3/8 inch anvil and the other has a 1/2 inch anvil so same motor turns same RPM's and same torque. Just different anvil size fits different size impact sockets.

                    Q:To the manufacturer: can an updated version be available with the battery holder further back? The tool can't get into places as the battery is in the way, rendering the tool useless in many situations.

                          A:  Yes it does, a 4.0 battery will be required. Keep in mind that this will be towards the limit of the design capacity. The tool is not specifically designed for this purpose, it will work. Max torque is 250 ft pounds, very impressive! A pro mechanic would choose a different model for multiple use repairs.

                            A:  I'm guessing you ordered online, and perhaps want to register for the lifetime service agreement. I'd also run into this. I was able to go to customer service in-store and get them to print me one for that. I'm going that Home Depot/Ridgid would set things up so you'd have the info necessary for LSA registration without doing that is you order online. I haven't bought any tools recently since I already have a lot of them, so maybe they have.

(snap-on, Mac tool, matco) just to name a few, you’ll be able to find a boot to fit this impact. Hope this helps. Vince.
