Favorite cordless impact ?

Whats your favorite Cordless Impact Gun? (DeWalt, IR, Craftsman, etc.)
Whats the model? (18v, 24v, etc.)
Whats the price range?
How long has it kept you happy?
How good is the battery and the strength it provides?

DeWalt DW059 is a beast. 3 years in, and still going strong. Look online and buy one refurbished.

I have a matco 14.4v old style 3/8th I use everyday for everything. It works.. its had a lift arm dropped on it and it held up.. I use it but dont love it by any means. Its got power but not enough. Ive used a IR 3/8th and it blows the matco away.. But I have my matco, so I;; use it till it breaks, then ill go get a IR

IR > Matco

Also have the matco drill to use the same battery, the drill DRAINS the battery within minutes.... I need to pawn it off on someone to make some money back


STRAPon is nice... but mad expensive...

I used a Snap on for years at the track, but my last one was a Dewalt. It's lighter more compact and powerful. It's also a 5 year newer design.

I use a snap-on 3/8ths but I just use it for the lighter stuff like 10mm bolts. Works excellent, but use air tools for anything larger and requiring more torque.

You bought a snapon 3/8ths to use only on 10mms?
Wow please sell me your gun so you can go get a harbor freight one that will do the same thing at a 1/100th the price....

I use my matco on everything... sometimes on wheels @ the junkyard...
