Marc grew up under a brave single mom who "encouraged" home improvement on the family home. Early toddler gifts included a tool set, and even a cordless Bosch drill when cordless drills first came out. In grade school (give or take a few years), Marc's mom said, "We need to cut down some trees. . . . here's a chainsaw." A father figure also involved Marc in many home improvement projects, including a summer of home remodeling in Palo Alto, CA. Toss in some Obsessive Compulsive personality traits researching everything home improvement related. The end result: a genetically pre-disposed, socially sculpted home improvement machine!

Makita XPT 3-Speed Impact Wrench XWT11 – Not Too Big Not Too Small

This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. When it comes to impact wrenches, it sometimes seems like the target buyer exclusively works on monster trucks or suspension bridges. Massive torque in the upper 3 digits to lower 4 digits is not unheard of. However, along with those massive torque figures often comes, well, massiveness. Despite their advancements, super torquey impact wrenches are downright big and heavy. If you’re doing extended work with an impact, or some tasks that require a little agility and moderate torque, a compact tool like the Makita 18V LXT Brushless Cordless XPT XWT11 3-Speed 1/2″ Impact Wrench may be just what the doctor ordered.
