It's been a long damn time but I remember seeing someone run their York up to 250psi to a T for an auxiliary tank and a regulator. I guess it would be kind of like running a power tank on a smaller but refillable scale.

On the 1/2” impact you linked, it’s the non-fuel version. Probably still a nice tool but wanted to flag it as the fuel versions provide higher torque ratings (and command a $$ premium)

I missed that but it was a deal part of it so I'll take it for now. But it would have been nice to have the Fuel version.

They also have a 1600 ft lb version. They are hard to keep track of.

There is a point where how much do I need?? And how much do I want to spend? Still gets me stated with battery powered tools. I'm a newb at this.
True and the batteries you use also make a difference.

Shit the one I'd posted was 1500 lb ft...
I got a set of 5 Amp & one 6 Amp batteries.
I’m definitely not the expert on that, the Mid torque model I have hasn’t let me down and the numbers are well below yours
I love how they try to pull a fast one on people who aren't used to their markeing schemes. By advertising their brake away torque

The way the flare mount onto the plate I guess could be replicated but for the price I don't know if it's worth it. The flares mount to the tabs on the plats and also to the 4 screws in the upper corners. I'll have to go out and take some pictures later. If' I'd been thinking when I was doing mine I would have bought these and GR aluminum blank corners in aluminum and cut out my own opening.
The flare fits over these round tabs.
The flares have tabs that mount to this area with a backing plate and screws.
Doesn’t seem all that complicated definitely not almost $200 complicated which Is the cost of the mounting plate.
Also, the amount of bolts seems a little excessive for a “quick release” feature, honestly wonder if I could get away with only 4 bolts using two top bolts to locate it and do away with the bottom tube locator.

Leave the top bolts in to locate the flare since it’s slotted IIRC and the two bottom holes to hold everything down.

Here's some dirty pictures. I guess you could get by with one bolt on each side. Also the 2 lower bolts.
This slides over the nub that sticks out.
You could build the plate or if you have armor already weld the nubs to that.
The front is only held on with 2 bolts.
It's $180 for the pair so $90 per side. Yes could make for cheaper but what's your time worth?

I was saying do away with the nubs entirely, unless I’m missing something what is their purpose, the top holes locate the flare so the nubs seem redundant.
I would weld on some nubs but insurance has the welder too so I’m just working off basic tools.
What do the plates do that a rivnut won’t?
