Battery powered Impact Gun recommendations?
 

It's coming up on birthday time and the wife wanted to know what I would like. I have been thinking about one of those battery powered 1/2" drive impact guns. Mainly for removing lugnuts and rotating tires etc., Anyone have any recommendations on what to get and what to avoid?

My son gave me a Bosch about two years ago. It takes several different heads for drive size> it has worked extremely well. I recall having to break lug nuts with a bar and let the electric drive do the rest.
An absolute dream when it comes to dismantling stuff.

I have a snap on gun and love it. I had a cheap one from Harbor freight before but this thing blows it away. Battery life is good and it will take about anything loose. No breaker bars needed.

A second vote for the Snap-on.

We've gone through a few at the shop here and most off-brands become battery weak after about a year...so bite the bullet once and go for the Snappy!.

I thought the new Bosch 18V with like 1950lbs of torq was the bomb and its on sale at $250 now from 450, I was eye balling one yesterday.

I bought a 18 volt Dewalt and I like the fact that it uses the same batteries as my other tools. Someone said it uses the same parts as the Snap-on but I haven't seen the Snap-on. I think it does 300'lbs ? I got mine on Ebay.

Dewalt has a 36 Volt impact wrench out now I have been thinking about. I already have the 36 volt hammer drill and reciprocating saw.

The Snap On is nice, but for the money, I would go with the 18V DeWalt. Good power and most people have other 18V DeWalt tools anyway. If you don't, then you have lots of ideas for upcoming gifts!
