I have the Great Neck NiCad impact gun, which I assume is probably the same thing as the Goodyear. It's ok, but basically there are times when I need it to spin off things that are not held in place or have really long bolts, such as ball joints or spring compressor nuts, input flange nuts, or rusty bolts, and it's terrible for that. It works pretty well at removing wheels that are properly torqued, but if the nuts were blasted on by someone with an impact gun it won't even do those. The battery doesn't last long under heavy stress and it's pretty weak even with a full charge. I have air now so I'll probably just get an air powered gun instead and keep using the battery unit on the road.
About the dual charging, I looked into that. Craftsman has a c3 charger that charges both types of batteries, but I'm not sure if that's what comes with the gun. Here it is:

I just cancelled my order on the flex head wrenches. Thanks for the heads up. I'll get the Craftsman brand set next time I have a spare $150.... My god ratcheting wrenches are pricey.
