the BIG dewalt cordless 1/2 drive impact. 18v. probably like $250 at Depot/lowes

I have 120v inverters in the trucks to charge batteries for cordless tools. Works pretty good.

speed wrench no dead batteries and you keep in shape

I use a Dewalt 18V. cordless drill.

I use a breaker bar to loosen the lugnuts then spin them on and off quickly with the drill.

This way I don't have an extra tool I have to tote around. I've used the drill a bunch as a drill at the track which wouldn't be possible with an impact gun.

In fact, I drilled a hole right in my Ron Davis aluminium radiator with it.

with a fairly fresh battery can remove full torqued nuts and torque them down to a point where i need no more than a quarter turn with the torque wrench . . . think it was about $300

dewalt does have a kit with six tools for $600 and one of them was an impact wrench . . . unfortuately i didn't know this until after i had bot 3 of the tools

I have had good luck so far with the Goodyear racing cordless available through Pep Boys automotive. For $79 I have been happy so far.

I would not recommend DeWalt. I have an 18V cordless. Have had 2 batteries puke in the last year and at around $80 each I get the message. Plus their construction radio has quit 4 times in 2 years. Keeps blowing a fuse which the dealer is very happy to replace for $25 a pop.

If you already have a battery, Amazon has a good price on the bare tool. That's how I got mine (I use the 18v DeWalt impact and a torque wrench for autox).

I also use the DeWalt charger. Supposedly it will extend the life of the batteries.

Who you telling! I was going through hammer drills to the point that Dewalt service center ran me off. I swore OFF dewalts and bought Hilti cordless combo. The Hilti has lasted over three years! GREAT tool!

Dewalt has come up with so many battery tools, one can't work in trades and NOT have some Dewalts, you know?

The 1/2 impact is a good example.

although i have the dewalt and have owned atleast 25 cordless tools in the last 5 years i just gave up on them and went to hitachi-- the usuall problem is with the chargers especially the radio fries the batteries.. but it will work good enouph for weekend use...
