recommend a cordless impact driver please?

Suitable for home diy and enough welly for wheel nuts and occasional tight suspension bolts etc.
So many models and variations in the 18v cordless market.
Was looking at milwakee again and had picked one at circa £160 but then read someone mention it struggled on undoing tight wheel nuts which is a bit pointless.

The latest snap on one is very good, but expensive.

I've only experienced the Dewalt 18v impact and that was 'ok' but the snap on was considerably better.

I've got the older nicad version and it was good when 'new' but struggles a bit now the batteries are tired etc so replaced it with a decent air impact.

I don't think an impact DRIVER will do what you need - I have a 160nm Bosch 18v impact driver that won't undo a 125nm wheelnut.

I've just got the Hitachi one. It will undo things that are very tight. Hugely tight. I bought it with 2 5.0aH batteries, and was about £400, so a bit painful there, but bloody hell, it does things tight. It won't baulk at undoing a 120 Nm wheel nut.
The other moan I have about it is the tight and slacken buttons are a toggle trigger switch, which I'm not keen on.
This tools replaces a cheap Neilson, - the batteries on that needed to be replaced after about a year, so assuming the Hitachi lasts like the other Hitachi tools, it should turn out to be a cheaper unit than the Neilson.
