DeWalt +1

Milwauki's are good too...

If you want to do susp. work or zap off wheel lugs, 1/2 drive is the way to go. Otherwise for sheer luxury you could get a spare 1/4 drive for smaller jobs...

I love Milwaukee. I went through a lot of drills as an electrician Bosch, Makita, Portacable, and the Milwaukee was the best by a landslide. Still got it in fact.

That said I got a Portacable 1/4" driver for xmas. It works great for what I want. Something to make wheel changes for autocross easier. It's not strong enough to break the lugs loose which is fine with me (breaking them loose with an impact get's them all banged up), but it spins them off quickly. And when putting the lugs on I don't have to worry about over torquing. Just zap them on with the driver then another 1/8-1/4 of a turn with the torque wrench and I'm there. Piece of cake.

my mate is an apprentice carpenter , he ONLY uses DeWalt , but will soon be replacing with bosch or makita as DeWalt have been bought by Palsonic , yes palsonic not panasonic , and quality and reliability have dropped dramatically

its a shame , they used to have real good gear

How about SAVING $348 on this: Amazon.com: Bosch 22614 14.4-Volt 1/2-Inch Impactor Cordless Impact Wrench Kit: Home Improvement

That's the one I'll be getting for the rally car.
