The surge is so smooth and quiet, I still can't get a great feel for it.
But it's nice not having to worry about waking the dead all the time anymore
In some ways the looseness of the adapters can help the impact, well, impact better. About 3 joints is the max that I prefer. After that it seems to suck up the hits too much.

i am seeing unbelievably overwhelmingly positive things about the m12 stubby 3/8. it busts lugs all day in review videos i watch. my m18 surge hex drive wont bust a lug for shit, sometimes i get the car on stands and forgot to crack the front lugs, and have to go find someone to step on the brake while i breaker bar them. i thought the m18 would be much more powerful, but i didnt realize that the surge use a hydraulic drive that is much quieter, but also seems to have less umph.
they just came out with the gen 3 compact m18 3/8, and also the gen 2 mid tourque, and im strongly considering upgrading to one of these. if anyone wants a 4 month old m18 surge fuel hex drive tool only, $100 shipped takes it, looks like $130-$150 new right now.
