Hey everyone! I'm stuck between getting the M12 3/8 or the 1/2 impact wrench. I just bought a 3/8 impact socket set, but I'm considering returning it for a 1/2 set instead. I want something that's great for basic DIY tasks like loosening lug nuts, working on truck suspension, and axle nuts. While the 3/8 would fit my current set, I'd need to use an adapter for bigger bolts and buy 1/2 sockets. I'd prefer to just go with one size, so which option do you think is more practical?

Keep in mind that using an adapter can really reduce your torque. I’d suggest going with the 1/2" wrench; it will serve you better without those losses.
