Milwaukee makes great stuff too, but gonna pay for it! I own several cordless tools. Pretty damn tough stuff!

I just bolt a kobalt 1/2 24 volt from Lowes and highly recommend it. Quite a bit cheaper then the snap-on, MAC and dewalt. Has plenty of torque and will last all day on a charge

Milwakee, pulls as many ftlbs as my electric dewalt it seems.

Check CPO Outlets. They usually have a few factory reconditioned units and still have factory warranties. I get a lot of stuff from them. I use the Milwaukee as well. Ken

The Milwaukee has always been my go-to. The shop uses all Milwaukee cordless as well with no complaints. DeWalt also has great reviews, so it looks like you couldn't go wrong with either. Maybe replacement battery cost could be the deciding factor. I haven't looked into that though.

I have a dewalt. Friend has a Milwaukee. The Milwaukee is much stronger

One thing I have noticed about my Dewalt and Milwaukee tools is that the Milwaukee batteries seem to be much better.

My impact wrench, and both batteries, have been in the back of my Yukon since October. It’s parked out in the cold under a tree. I just checked the batteries and both are fully charged. My Dewalt batteries are dead after a couple of weeks of sitting in my heated shop....
