Completely agree with you Eric!
Little dogs are a very diffused kind, and the more one dignifies them with an answer, the more they bark.
Very annoying, but also very useful to put one’s “Yodaness” to the test 😉
I think you could be a very good psychologist Eric, very sharp and to the point!
The best thing a “big dog” can do to them is to send them to get lost, but with a shiny smile on your face, and in not-so-clear terms, so they remain there to ask themselves “what did he really tell me? should I bark some more?” :woohoo:
It’s a very very subtle art, but also very rewarding 😉

Wow! You got the same I got some months ago! :cheer:
And your impressions so fare have been the same as mine; it’s overpowered! :woohoo:
I tried it with some axle nuts that it took out without even un-stoking them, and also a very very rusty exhaust bolt (in fact it almost hurt my other hand with which I was holding a wrench to keep the other side of the bolt from spinning! :blink: )
I’ve been using it for the past 4 months and now its battery has come down to two dots, but it still keeps doing its work flawlessly! 🙂
In my opinion this impact is awesome!

Wow, after the good review of the ARI2023 and my very good personal experience with the IR 7150, I expected much more from the DeWalt.
However as you pointed out at the beginning of the video, it’s an “advertised 12volts” tool but in reality it is only 10.8 volts tool.
And this is a huge handicap and, I think, the explanation for the disappointing performance it did show in your video.Also, I’ve taken the opportunity to look for other similar tool reviews on the net, and in one case about a very similar looking IR (it was the W5130 if I’m not mistaken), the guy tried the very same tool with both the 1.5Ah battery AND the 3.0Ah one and got very very different results; lots more torque with the bigger battery.
Sounds to me like the car’s lead batterys that “the bigger they are, the more CCA they have”.Regarding the tool itself, if I were you Eric, I’d get my money back and get a 18 (or better 20) volt 3/8, be it the DeWalt, the Milwaukee or the IR; I’m sure it would give you a much better usage experience 😉
And this all reminds a phrase I often get used on automotive forums: “There’s no substitute for engine displacement” 😆
And, last but not least, I’d be very curious to see how well in terms of torque would perform a 18/20volt ratchet when compared to the its pneumatic counter part.
Just my two cents here, please share your comments! :cheer:

This discussion inspired me to get another “old lady” that I had been on when I was a very little boy, and that in some ways had always fascinated me for its very very uniqueness.
In this last days of 2013 I purchased a 1982 Citroen Dyane.
I’m sure noone in the US has ever heard about it 😆Here she is :cheer:
It’s a spin-off of the more famous Citroen 2CV.
It had a 2 cylinder air-cooled boxer of 602cc putting out an amazing 32 HP 😆Same engine, same frame (it’s frame based, and the body is fastened on the frame) , different body.
What can I say about driving her home?
It just redefined my whole concept of driving a car…its…something like a motorcycle with 4 wheels 😆 (but it has all the “modern” commodities, like heater, windshield wipers, courtesy light :silly: )
I’ve spent the last weeks doing the much needed maintenance on it and it still feels to me like a motorcycle ; GREAT accessibility!
And…if you wanna check if there’s fuel in the tank you can shake her (like a motorbike) and listen for the sound!
Of course she has a fuel gauge, but this way it’s more fun! :woohoo:I feel…young! 😉

Thanks College man! :cheer:
My best wishes to all of you wonderful folks of the forum and your families, and of course to Eric which I hope is getting some very well deserved rest with his own family 🙂
Merry Christmas!

Hey Eric, this video is…WOW :woohoo:
I was eagerly waiting to see the GoPro camera at work, and I have to say it gave me a completely new perspective on how you work and move around, sorta like being a smurf on the top of a giant’s head 😉
You are a lot more agile than one would think, your gym sessions gave their results!
I admit that with some of your sudden turns I also felt some motion sickness, but I cured that (at least partially) by lowering the video resolution, since my netbook was having problems to keep up with the HD frame rate.
It’s nice to see how you move and when you stop to think, because you do too! :cheer:
Well I thought I was the only one that stopped to think things around before actually getting the wrench (or whatever tool) in the hand and do my thing with it.By the way, I have a colleague at work that likes nordic walking in the mountains and he did some videos when walking with his own GoPro , and he managed to put it on his forehead instead of his hat, and this caused a better “human eye” perspective, and the sudden swings or turns were less pronounced.
I don’t know, seeing your GoPro so high on the hat made me think “something will obstruct the lens visual” and in fact in the video there are some times when you are actually operating on something that is not visible or partially obstructed to the camera lens point of view.
Maybe lowering the camera support can do the trick?
However, a GREAT video , if the worst is this, what can we expect besides perfection? :cheer:
And also, you finally discovered the reason for those hesitations it has always had since the beginning and made you go “mad” to fix!
It was a thing that always bugged me and I’m happy it was finally fixed!A nice last little present from the trusty Subie! Super happy with that! :woohoo:
About the voice over, maybe it’s me that particularly like listening to your voice , but it was ok.
Maybe you can improve the audio quality of the camera (with a new firmware or changing audio settings somewhere) and hopefully fix the cut-outs, in the meantime I really appreciated the whole package.Thanks and…looking forward for the next POV video! :cheer:
