OK, A lot of my customers have been asking me about the comparisons of the new Matco 20 volt cordless impact versus the MAC tools 20 volt cordless. So let's take a look at them. Matco's new impact claims 1300 ft.lbs. of torque, MAC's is 1200 ft.lbs, but that's where the advantage stops. The Matco gun is around $690, the MAC gun - $570. The Matco gun comes with only one battery. The MAC comes with two. An extra battery from Matco will cost you about another $190, if you don't get it your stuck waiting for your battery to charge while the guy with the MAC gun keeps working all day long. The MAC gun also has a brushless motor which means it's going to last long after that Matco one burns up. So you can have an extra 100 ft. lbs. of torque, which you might not notice anyway, for an extra $310. You be the judge.
