Sometimes I REALLY hate technology. I get an email saying that there was a reply to this topic yesterday. Now I see it NO where here. 6 years after the fact it was a good read.
Post stroke it’s like I never read it before now. 

Well, here, I'll give you something to read, and I promise I won't delete it.

Battery impacts have rapidly improved over the last 7 years, and now the battery powered impacts outrun the corded models.

On youtube, the Torque Test Channel has rattled dozens of impacts onto their ranking charts. Currently the top few are bouncing back and forth between Dewalt and Milwaukee, with occasionally a 3rd brand popping up here and there. Even the lower end impacts from the main brands, Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita, Rigid, Ryobi, Craftsman, even the Harbor Freight brands, are plenty for your average mechanic. I currently run an older brushed Milwaukee for big tasks, and a 12v Fuel impact driver with an adapter for little stuff.
