I'll have to post pics of my Drill Hog's. I broke two of them trying to remove rivets. My Milwaukee Cobalt's had to finish the job.

 

Yea there's certain things you don't want to use the M42's on with smaller bits. Smaller M42's are very hard and brittle, like to snap. Drilling out rivets can snap them for sure. I have a set of Milwaukee and Rigid Cobalt's that fit the quick change chuck on the 1/4" DeWalt to fall back on for that. Those are easy to sharpen up as well. I think they are M35's or something like that.

Another rough night. She may have had another small heart attack last night. We were told one or two of the Nitroglycerin pills and she does not need to come in, but after three it is go time. She took two last night and the pains subsided. It's a helpless feeling...

 

I hate to hear that White. This will be an on going situation for a while, but I think she is in an infinitely better place with you watching out for her at home than by herself in the ICU.

 

Unfortunately, I think it will be ongoing unless I can somehow talk these cardiologists into just bypassing that artery. Seems like that should be SOP, but apparently not. It might have to come down to my oldest daughter staying home with her, since she can drive if needed. Right now my SIL is still in town. I tried calling the Wife a bit ago, but she didn't answer. I only let it ring a couple times in case she's asleep. Dang it all..

 

I would be losing it a little just because of all the uncertainty. I like to think I can handle most things, but when it comes to my wife im an absolute softy. I really do not like heart surgery in general, even simple ones can bring on unexpected complications. I understand why they want to try everything else first. Im just hoping they find a way to get her better soon.

 

Man... I am beat. Guess I better start in on the Dr. Pepper.

So, that 1/4" impact came yesterday. Somehow I missed that it came with TWO batteries. It also says it has 21% more torque than my old 1/4" impact (which still runs like a champ).

 

I dont have 1/4" impact yet. I have a dewalt 3/8s I have been beating the crap out of and it has worked really well so far.

Do yall have any recommendations on a 1/2" battery powered impact? I want one but with the cost I want to be sure I dont just fall for the marketing.
