Yeah the 3/8" impact has more torque than the 1/2" according to the Torque test channel.
But the good thing is those impacts are small enough without the battery to fit in your lunchbox if you ever need to use them in the garage for the weekend or something

I plan to pick up my own sets for the house at some point. Mine are still kicking after 10 years but I can definitely tell a difference after using the newer ones. Probably be this spring before I upgrade though. And I can borrow these anytime I want so it’s not a big deal.Yeah the 3/8" impact has more torque than the 1/2" according to the Torque test channel.

I can admit my 1/2" impact has spoiled me when taking off tires. It really is a quick job now.

Same. I love using the 18v Rigid 1/2" impact when rotating tires. Less noise and no air hose. Win-win.
Well I can't recommend the DeWalt 20V mower anymore at all. My nephew has been mowing my lawn for the summer with it and now the blades all chewed up. During the summer, the mower can't make it through all the yard now without overheating and it burns through batteries like crazy. And now the damn throttle lever snapped off on me yesterday. I've been looking for parts for it but nothings available online for it still and it's been on the market for a year. 
So it is not good for running in high temp environments? Seems like an issue for a lawn mower designed to be used in the summer.
Yep, the motor is probably going out from high heat cycles combined with a shitty, paper-thin chinesium blade.
Thanks for the update; glad I went with a gas powered zero turn.
Just do not mow when it is hot. So February.

I was thinking it would cooler at 11pm with a flashlight.
Usually closer to 3a or 4a.

Ah. Well I will see that in two weeks.
For a tiny yard, it should be fine for awhile if the batteries hold up.

If not I'll get a Honda gas gx460 self propelled mower.
Glad I just finished my one an only outside chore for the week here in this so-called living within the neighborhood. The tiny house yard was just mowed and weed trimmed!

I was able to find blades at a home depot that was well out of my way. The picture online is incorrect for this blade so I was missing it while browsing for it online. I bought two blades so I'll have a backup now. Current plan is to finish this mowing season and buy a riding lawn mower for the next season. I'll keep this electric one because it folds up to a small package to store out of the way and I'll need it for a tight space at the front of my property & a small alleyway alongside my house.
