Cordless 1/2" Impact Driver

I'v got an 18v Milwaukee and have been abusing it for over 7 years. Just getting nicely run in. It's so easy taking wheels off that sometimes I do it just so as to hose the mud off the underside of the car. So well worth having. I like the Milwaukee 18v batteries too. They seem to have used the same battery fitting for years, so they've very interchangeable. Unlike De Walt who changed their fitting a while ago. However, you can get adaptors so as to fit Milwaukee batteries to other brands of cordless power tools, and they don't 'arf go!
 
I have 3 dewalts , the big 899 which i seldom use and a medium one which i do use a lot , Also a baby one which doubles up as a driver , i put a driver adaptor on for screws and is used the most of them all . How did i live without them , they make life so much easier so its really working out what you will use it for the most . Or go stupid and buy all 3 sizes as i did .
 
For work use, get a quality make
For diy any of the cheapies will do, dewalt are pretty cheap, and seem to have some decent grunt.

Any of the 1/2 ones are real weapons, but simply to big for most car stuff.

3/8 one with a decent selection of sockets/torx/allen keys is a real time saver, 4 prop bolts 30 secs max, by hand you cant do one in 30 seconds.
 
I've got a dewalt, not sure which model it is but it's bloody useless. It won't crack my landy wheel nuts and if I use it to do them up, I have to give them a half turn with a wheel brace.

I think one of these could be more use, yet to buy one but looks like it could get in more places.

I'm really tempted to get one of those. Pity DeWalt doesn't do one so I can use the batteries I already have.
 
One of the you tube guys (diagnosedan) who shows how to read fault codes and find the fault uses a 1/4 drive one and often has the bits apart while he's still talking, it seems to say a lot of time.
