2amp are usefull as cheap and light weight/compact, but both tools need the 6amp really, die grinder is so much better with 6amp but the soldering iron the 6amp works really well because you can stand the iron up on the battery with out it falling over all the time.
standard M18 charger does both 12v and 18v batts so just buy the bare tools you want is normally the best way.

Presumably only buy genuine batteries
My drill trigger packed up and aside from taking half an hour working out what to do with it under warranty, 2 years old, I’m impressed that they pick it up foc. Hopefully will sort quickly as I’m borrowing a friends one atm.

I cant recommend non genuine no and the cost of Milwaukee batteries isnt really that bad unless your wanting the higher 8 or 12 amps ones then it gets expensive, but so are the tools that require the higher amp.
Genuine batteries in my experience last forever unless you drop them awkwardly.

Looking for a new 1/2” impact gun and probably a couple of 5ah batteries, not pushed for a charger unless it comes in a well priced bundle. Any suggestions where’s good to buy from? I’ll be giving my local agri dealer a try as well as they always have a promo leaflet on, can’t seem to find an online version of something like that though.

I’ve got a fairly new mid-torque ½” kit myself but without ‘onekey’. The latest model I think.Milwaukee M18ONEFHIWF12-502X M18 FUEL™ One-Key™ 18V 1/2" 1898Nm Impact Wrench Kit - 2x 5Ah Batteries, Charger and Case

Mid Torque Impact Wrench with Friction Ring Kit
The last 12 in the model number denotes ½” while the first one I referenced has 38 to denote ⅜”. The 502X denotes the full kit bundle.
It cost me £258+VAT which included two 5Ah batteries and fast charger in a case. The 5Ah batteries are significantly better than my existing 4Ah batteries when used intensively, for instance on an angle grinder trimming cow’s hoofs with the special disc. With four batteries with two on the two chargers I have, there’s no issue doing 15+ cows without running out of juice.
The mid torque wrench supplements the impact drill that does the smaller fasteners and general drilling and screwing such as Tec screws etc.
The high torque impact wrenches are real beasts but I have no use that would justify one of them.
