You'd think after replacing all those gears they might come up with a metal replacment for 3rd gear.

Nah, they want it to break out of warranty so you end up buying a new one instead.

You are missing out on the land of tarps, hand trucks and a smell that, well, smells like China.
I have unboxed a few things at home from Harbor Freight that smell SO bad, I can't keep them in the house. They off-gas some horrific smell of cheapness, rubber, and lead paint.
Anyone whose ever been to a HF knows what I mean. Don't lie. You've been to a HF I saw you there hiding behind the $4.99 grinders.

Hey, there's one closer to me than I had imagined. Still never been there. I like inexpensive, not cheap.

Harbor Frieght is too rich for my blood. I look forward to the Chuck Homier traveling hardware tent coming to town.
I need to take my camera to that one. I think they also sell those rugs too, you know, Elvis, a tiger, pot leaf, white tiger, dragon, unicorn (personal favorite) Lygers, ohh yeah sweet rugs.

No, having a whole other drill is 'one more thing to carry', that attachment is just like having another drill bit, I carry it right in my tool pouch.

I never tried the Makita, but I bought the Bosch PS40 when it first came out. I found it too slow for driving screws into cabinets. And it won't fit easily into a 9" tray base the way the Makita right angle impact will. I use the compact LXT battery on the right angle even though I was told I should only use the full size battery. Haven't had any problems so far.

You can use the bigger battery in both the white or blue, but you can not use the smaller battery on the blue drill.

I bought one of those little compact Bosch drivers, I used it quite a bit.
My C12 is more compact. Hell, I dont know where the Bosch is. If I find it, I'll send it your way Leo.
The Bosch is kind of lame though, and a bit slow.

I gave my Bosch impactor to my father after buying the 10.8 Makita impact. The Makita is MUCH better.

The mini makita has a kit for about $175 that has the mini impact and the mini drill/driver, 2 batts, charger and case. Sounds like a good deal.
