Is the higher speed worth more than the extra 20 ft-lbs of torques?

I bought the big kit that came with the brushed ratchet (I'm assuming 2457-20) but was planning in returning in and getting the fuel. I don't really care about the other stuff in the set and would also prefer the bigger batteries.

Spose it probly depends on what you are doing and the battery. But if I had bought the smaller 2457-20 first. I Wouldnt own the 2557-20.

YES! The head on the normal speed fuel is fawking YUUUUGE. The high speed and the non fuel are the go too. I have 2 non fuel and 1 high speed, both kick ass but the high speed is my go-to 98% of the time.

honestly I wouldn't use the ratchet at all. but the impact driver is fantastic if you drive screws into wood often.
 
2457 is the only non fuel I have bought intentionally. Don't normally use them but had an exhaust manifold job where it was all I could get in there, with out single ratchet clicks manually. That said unless you are turning wrenches all day- get what ever one you want, still better than not having one!
 
They told me it's a false ad, tried ordering this morning.Same with the $99 grease gun kit.

Did get a stubby 3/8" m12 impact and #5 battery for around $160 though.
Alledgely 500 ft/lbs bust a nut power or something like that.

I had the last generation M12 stubby and it was decent but after having to replace it and choosing a newer m18 version I regretted buying the M12 version first.

It'll be an interesting test when the newest M12 gets here tomorrow.
 
I will add in that my big head 2557-20 now spins out on the stuck stuff if you give it the full chooch. Only had it a year....
 
I love my m12 fuel 3/8. Yeah the head is big, but it's tits for working on bikes. Makes a 2t top end job a lot faster when I only need to use a torque wrench to snug things down, and I can whip nuts and bolts off with the power ratchet instead. I use the m12 stubby and ratchet a shit load.

Youll like it, hell im thinking about buying another one but i have 2 of the old ones and i dont need 4 stubbies.
 
The forge batteries worth the $$?

Have a good amount of #3,5 and 6 already. Might have a #8 too.

They have a #8 and #12 forge for $225.

Depending on your tools and usage yes and no. Grinders and saws are the biggest draw tools so if you’re using a newer version of one of those you will see an increase in performance back to back vs a standard ho. If you’re shopping for batteries and happen upon a deal it’s worth it paying retail for them I don’t think is worth it. $10 per ah is the general rule of thumb for a good deal.
