Hey guys, found a Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2" impact wrench at a pawn shop for $150 (bare tool). Looks barely used, no battery or charger though. I've got plenty of M18 batts already. Should I pull the trigger? Seems like a steal compared to $250+ new.

Heck yeah, I'd grab that if I were you! Those Fuel impacts are beasts. I've had mine for years, never let me down. Even without the charger, $150 is a good deal as long as it's not beat up. Just test it with your battery if he lets ya.

I agree with Will, that's a solid price. But be careful buying from pawn shops – I got a "like new" drill once that turned out to have a bad trigger. Ask if you can return it if something's wrong. Also, make sure it's not stolen lol.

Good point Sarah. I'll ask about returns. The guy said it's from a estate sale, seems legit. I'll bring a battery and test it. Thanks for the advice!
