Chordless impact wrenches

[kennyw]

M12 is a 12V battery, M18 is an 18V battery.

Milwaukee M18 is considered one of the best available, but if you buy the impact, you may as well buy the cordless drill, cordless saws, etc, so get them all with the same battery family.

I use Ridgid brand from Home Depot as they offer a lifetime warranty/service contract that no other brand offers. As long as you register for the warranty within a specified period of time, you can send it in for free service when the tool breaks and they will repair it. I bought into this brand because a friend that is a contractor recommended them, and it has been helpful. I have killed my original impact a couple times, I missed having it so much I bought a second one to use while it was getting repaired and the newer one was even better.

I have also heard good things from the premium cordless tools from Harbor Freight at a slightly cheaper price point than the bigger brands.
