I bought a Mac 1/2" (runs dewalt batteries) and I love it. I can change 8-12 tires on a battery and it works awesome. I also love my dewalt driver 20V system! Batteries and chargers interchange and Dewalt just released the 20V 1/2" impact as well. :thumb:
i have a snap on 18V 1/2 impact gun, the only thing it has ever struggled to take off was a front bumper bolt, where it sheered the end off a snap on 1/2" extension..... my dealer pulled a lug nut off his kenwroth truck to make a point. my 20V dewalt impact 3/8 is pretty impressive as well, but im not sure i would rely in it for tires or suspension work, great for smaller stuff though, and the battery lasts months with daily use. the snap on one hardly ever needs a charge, though i dont use that one for work, just for play 
Best out there! And the dewalt 20v is a marketing name. It's no more than 18v and every other 18v is a 20v

me too, I just did a quick search for cordless impacts and Milwaukee offers two. The 1/2 inch drive unit (p/n 2663-80) offered with the 3/8 drive and work light is not as robust as their model 2763-22. With that said, you get the 1/2 drive, a 3/8 drive a work light, two batteries, charger and case for the price of the heavier 1100 ft/lb model. They also offer a 3/4 drive.
I have been searching for a cordless that will break the lug nuts loose on my '56 C6500. Time for a good test as they have laughed at everything to date.
We tested our Kobalt 1/2 against a Milwaukee Fuel 1/2 removing the bits in our tub grinder. The Kobalt ate the Fuel alive on the 1 setting, but on the 2 setting the Fuel ate the Kobalt's lunch. The Kobalt was considerably cheaper than the Fuel though. So I guess if you need more power, you're going to pay more as usual.
Snap On 18V 1/2 impact.. worth its weight in GOLD.. thing is a BRUTE and can go almost an entire weekend of swapping wheels around on my race car (Sat/Sun, probably 4-5 tire swaps) and not need a battery swap.
Pulls my truck lug nuts off without a hiccup. Its expensive, but worth every penny. Been using it non stop for the last 4 years

sure is, just don't use it enough. I use the 18v for everything. If anyone wants it, let me know.
