I bought well over a dozen Bauer tools and they are good tools for the money but I don't have that 3/8 impact but I seen video of people saying that thing is weak. My Bauer 6 1/2 circ saw is good but a little weak but I like the form factor, blade is on the side I like and it's lite and easy to use. I paid 50 bucks for the 1st one and it lasted years until I burned out the brushes. I bought the second one for 27. Bucks on sale . What a great deal ! So I will see how good it is. My old Bauer was dark red, new one matches my other Bauer tools. I think they are trying to get better built tools and selling their not so great tools cheap. I'm a diy guy that builds my own sheds and decks and I'm always redoing something in my home. I can't see paying 150. for a saw when I can get a Bauer for 25. Plus tax. They are not pro grade tools but they work for me.
I thought about the 3/8 impact, too, but ended up grabbing the 1/4 impact driver instead. I bought the high torque 1/2 a while back, so I figured the impact driver might be more useful to me. For the $$, I think Bauer is pretty on point.

Harbor Freight does have rapid chargers ....ones that come in the kit take a while to charge
I'd swap out the 3/8 impact
got this bauer 1/2 impact today for 159$ with 20% discount
Have you thought about getting an eight amp battery or the 12 amp battery?
@terrellscaife2411 no, not sure I would use it enough to justify it.
