Honestly, I bought a Costco Kawasaki Electric Impact. It was not ver $$$ at all. I just keep it and my torque wrench together. I would rather break the studs free and finish up my torque with the torque wrench and a breaker bar, and just snug them down or run them off the extended with the impact. I see no point in a high $$$$ impact.

Good choice. I just picked up the Makita LXT tools too (2 drill/drivers, impact, reciprocating saw, circular saw, flashlight). I really like them. The batteries charge in 30 minutes, last forever, and they don't self-discharge when left out.

Let me just say that this Makita BTL 60 is a must have. I can't wear the thing out.

I was at Lowes the other day and the Hitachi they had was very impressive.
