Picked up a new 1/2 impact. This is the newest version DCF961B. This thing is a beast.

I have a lower level model, torque not adjustable as may be common for impacts, dunno. With that much more torque I'd be worried about twisting my nuts off, I'll leave you all with that, have a Great Day All!

Quality reproductions can be a challenge. There is a lot of junk out there, mostly from India. Perdosoli is an Italian manufacturer... They are the best available, but generally inaccurate in detail. I had an 1803 Harper's Ferry rifle that I sold off because it was such a Frankenrifle. Bits from multiple models that never were together

I have a Persoli as well and it is beautiful, but I shoot it on the regular so no wall hanger!

That sums it up well.
I think for something that is going to stay in the house an original is the way to go. At least for someone like me or you. For @ZMan67S if the interest is percussion era or early cartridge it might be a better option than a reproduction.

There is this whole other market for people who like the idea of a historic gun on the wall but don't know and honestly don't care to dig deep. They bought a story or an idea. Just went through this with 2 Gransfor Bruk axes. These are high dollar axes made today. But the one I own is excellent for using (about 25 years old). The two we just got have holes in the handles to hang on the wall. While they are sharp, there is something wrong with them because they transmit shock to the user. It doesn't matter to G-B because 98% of the buyers are not real users these days.

Not a Dewalt fan in general, but we have similar about 3 years old at work. I had it on wrong direction once tightening a nut on a 5/8 carriage bolt(wanted to loosen). Popped the head right off. Oops. I'll still stick with my Milwaukees though. :)
