Well, I picked up my impact wrench today from HD. There were 3 on the shelf. The one in front looked like the box had been re-taped - and the one in back had a box with a hole in it and creasing - so I got the one in the middle because the box looked OK.
I took it out of the box when I got home and there's grease smudges all over it and what looks like some very light rust on the bare metal parts, so I will be returning it tomorrow. Hate to be picky but how do I know this one wasn't abused somehow and won't operate as good as a brand new one?
Anyhoo......I'm not in a pinch or anything so it will work out. I did stick a battery on it and really love the operation of it and am excited of the possibilities - once I get a new one.
In the meantime I went ahead and ordered some deep sockets from Amazon and they will be here Friday.
