Well, this is the buying season and I've always wanted one. Just tired of dragging hoses I guess. This is just for personal use, not trade work. Wanting a 1/2" drive and maybe 3/8". What do you have, your experience with said tool and battery life.
Cordless Impact Gun, suggestions please

I hear a lot of good things about the snap on guns. But I use one of these and absolutely love it. It's been through hell and back and it's still ticking. I've only had one tool (of a few dozen) go for warranty service to Milwaukee and it was painless.

I have Milwaukee 18v 1/2 & 3/8 impacts that Ive had for over 5 years that with no problems
as far as battery life I have swapped wheels & tires at the track, unbolt some other things, then do it swap everything back on again & only drop the battery 1 light on the indicator out of 4

I've been running dewalts. They are decent for a weekend wrencher idk how it would hold up to day to day wrenching
X2 on milwaukee. I also use a ingersoll 1/2" 20v impact that hasn't let me down

My 1/4 and 3/8 are matco. Been pretty good. The 3/8 is my go to. Buddy at work just bought the new 1/2 Milwaukee gun. It is a bad bitch. Broke the inch and a half lug nuts on my 5 ton Rockwell axles like nothing. Buzzed off a few Duramax balancer bolts with it too. No sweat. Only air I ever use is my air chisel and 90* die grinder for scuffing pads.

I've got both snap on 1/2 and 3/8 lithium. Gun have 1 year warranty and batteries have 2. Plenty of power and I like how they have a brake when you release the trigger unlike some of the other brands. If you willing to pay the price snap on has my vote
^^^This one. You put that sucker on level 3 and it will come off or break it off... lol...
I've got the Milwaukee fuel. It's got a lot more power than the previous impact Milwaukee made. I love it. When my buddies snap on impact won't break the bolt loose we grab the Milwaukee.
I'm a Milwaukee fanboy though. I probably have 12-15 Milwaukee batter tools between m12 and m18

However you can't go wrong with snap on. I guess most of depends on preference, but hell they're both black and red

My IR titanium ait has friction ring... I've found they will wear out and fall off... Pin can be a PITA to get stuff on/off if it stiff..
Like the ring if I'm swapping sockets alot.. Easier/quicker to get sockets on/off
Ingersoll Rand 20v lithium, it can take the lugnuts off a semi (when properly tourqued to 450-500ftlbs.

I also use dewalt 3/8 impacts for the smaller stuff. Hardly ever use air anymore.

Use thing everyday at work, it's just as strong as the bigger 18v stuff but fits in much smaller spaces!
