Around here, chippers seem to really suffer, paint-wise. Maybe because they are in the salt spray behind the truck all winter. A ratty chipper can really affect a company's image. I think I've asked this before, but do you have salty air issues in Florida that eats vehicles?
I was going to rebuild, but decided it wasn't worth the risk. Ended up with a bunch of batteries anyway by buying new tools. I think there was actually another 9.0 added after this. Gave a couple of 3.0s and first gen drill and impact to my mother.
Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with DeWalt. Milwaukee has pledged to keep all M18 batteries and tools interchangeable always. Its a tough call, but its easier if you have no tools to start with. A metal fabbing friend is making the switch from Makita to M18 because of the metal...
I'm not exaggerating. Watch Real Tool Reviews comparison of a well used 2763 and a new one. It actually performed better than it did when it was new. Sure, if you have good shop air an air impact is great, but if you are away from the shop, then the cordless impact is more than competent.
Watch the YouTubes. Real Tool Reviews is good, but I don't think he's done the 2767 yet. My 2763 will smoke my 1/2" air impact. Cordless is bulkier, however.
The cordless tools available today are amazing. I have the Milwaukee M18 2763 impact. With the 9.0 battery, it is undefeated by a large margin. They just released the 2767, which ups the reversing torque from 1100 to 1400 ft lbs. Could really twist some stuff off with that.:lol:
