Hey everyone! I recently jumped into the M18 lineup after spending some time with the M12 series. I've been using Ridgid tools for my 18V needs but just picked up a starter kit and the 2967-20 impact driver. As a diesel mechanic, I'm looking for recommendations on what I should get next. For context, with my M12 collection, I already own a couple of ratchets, a stubby impact, and I plan on getting a die grinder soon. Any suggestions?

It also depends on your work needs. Are you using these for professional jobs or just around the house? That’ll guide your next purchases a lot!
It really depends on what you've got already. Why not update your post with a list of your current tools and what you think you might need? That way, it’ll be easier for folks to suggest items that other diesel mechanics find essential.
I only have the 1/2" high torque impact, so that’s what I know for now!
Honestly, if you have to ask what to get next, it might mean you don’t quite need anything right now. I suggest only picking up new tools when you find a specific task that requires one.
I’m using them for work—got my air tools for home, but need more versatile options for the job site.
