Cool 12v cordless impact wrench - Milwaukee M12
I don't have one yet but it is on my wishlist...
Seems like a great tool to have in the shop for light assembly/disassembly.
Would also be a great tool in your rig, especially if you could figure out how to wire it up to your cigarette lighter or just some clamps on your battery.

yeah they are great. I use them at the shop all the time. its nice when you only want to change one wheel or something and dont want to hook up the air.
Great investment if you ask me.

Milwaukee makes some great tools.
I used to have a Goodyear Racing cordless impact wrench from Pepboys. I was a great little unit, and was very handy for Pick N Pull runs.

kinda pricey. i have a makita 14.4v set which is much better. i have been looking for a smaller impact since snap on just came out with one that is similar at 50 foot lbs but has no LED for $129 (gun only)
looks just like this but has a 3/8 on it

makita combo set, awesome price since i paid around $300 when it 1st came out. love this set
now i found it online for half the price

Yeah, granted 1,000 IN-LB or 83 FT-LB isn't much, but I'm looking for something for light duty assembly. Something that'll spin those bolts on/off quickly. I'll have to check out that Makita set too.
Of course I also have the big air-powered impact wrench rated at 400 FT-LB for the heavy lifting... Unfortunately, I don't have on-board air on my rig yet...

snap on new 18v is great for rebuilds.
the makita 14.4v set is awesome. one hour charger and when the impact makita was new, i was able to remove lug nuts. havent tired since lol. had mine for 3+years now, use them almost everyday (toyo tech) and still works like new.
the makita set is not as small as the one your looking at but trust me its a great size for the power it has

Craftsman has a 19.2v one as well:

Looking to pick up one of these, since I have some of their other 19.2 cordless tools (and batteries).
This one is also handy and actually works:

both eww.
the craftsman hex coupler sucks. you loose so much torque using the socket adapter. if your gonna buy a cordless impact, get a real one. plus that 19.2v battery got to be heavy.

It really depends on what you're looking for. If you need something for daily use in a shop, or something, then you should probably get a more expensive one. The craftsman ones are good, since they have that nice lifetime warranty, and are somewhat more affordable than the Milwaukee's.
Spending more on a tool does not guarantee that it will be better than a lower priced one.

your right about makita being expensive but now you can have the combo set for less than $200 with two batteries, charger, drill, impact and flashlight. (in my link above)
the makita impact gun alone goes for almost $300.
so in the end your spending more for craftsman
