I have the Milwaukee wrench and it is badass, but you have a Dewalt echo system with your batteries, so I'd go with Dewalt.

YouTube compact impact comparison test

This guy is always testing these tools on a dyno. Interesting stuff if you're in the market

ETA accidentally linked impact driver test first time around

Milwaukee is legit but i bought one of the ones you plug in to an extension cord from Harbor Freight and that sucker will tear anything apart.


If it’s the one I got for 90 dollars then I absolutely agree with you. 1050 pounds of torque. Whenever my autozone battery powered impact can’t get the job done( which it usually does good so it isn’t often) I break out big Bertha and go to town.

I've got a Ryobi 18V impact driver. Paid about $80 for it at Home Depot. It's 300 ft pounds and 3 speeds. I have a 97 F250 HD hunting truck and newer F250 diesel and I use it all the time to deal with maintenance issues including suspension, brake removal, and lug nuts. Lug nuts on the 97 F250 are a bitch even with breaker bar but that impact is super fast. Ryobi is pretty light but strong.

I have a DeWalt 20 volt thats pretty strong and suffice for 90% of my needs but its nothing compared to my air driven Ingersoll-Rand 1/2" drive impact. That thing will twist off lug studs quick if you're not careful.
