OT:Cordless Impact Wrench

[pb3vr6 at yahoo.com (Tonee Northam)]

Thanks for the input John, I've narrowed it down to Chicago Pneumatics and Milwaukee w/ the 1/2in drive.

wrench, but an impact driver. You DO NOT
want an impact driver(sometimes called an impact drill)- they are great for 
small nut and bolts, lags, screws etc,
but are not meant for large bolts and lugnuts. People often think they can 
use impact drivers for lugnuts etc,
because they misread the torque as being in ft/lbs when they are actually 
rated in in/lbs. Got for the 1/2" drive ,
such as the Dewalt DW059K2. I would compare the torque on each you are 
considering and then see how they
feel to you in your hand. Although I am not a huge fan of Dewalt(I don't 
think they suck or anything either), if I were
you I would look seriously at the Dewalt where you already own their stuff 
and therefore probably have many batteries.
