I got me a "Hobo Freight" Bauer 20v cordless 1/2 impact and it busts off the 150 lb/ft lugs on my F150 easily..
I have an old air impact (Campbell Hausfeld) that could not bust off those lugs..
The Bauer is under $100, but does not include the battery/charger..
I had already gotten some other Bauer 20v tools. Leaf blower, hedge trimmer, so I already had the charger and 5ah battery (an extra $100 for those things alone) but I can use the same battery for all three tools, plus the heat gun I got at the same time I got the impact, which is "cool" too, so 4 tools now, and only a single charger/battery! :) )
Anyway, it ain't a Milwaukee, Dewalt or Craftsman brand name, but even with the extra price of the battery/charger, it still costs less and works fine for a DIY guy that only uses it occasionally.. and any other Bauer tool you buy, you only have to get the tool, so it's cheaper once you already have the charger/battery..
Yes, it's a cheap tool, but I don't need to make a living with it, so it's fine for a DIY guy IMO..
Just my experience with them, as I am moving from air/corded tools to cordless tools and it's expensive no matter what, but makes all those chores you need them for, a lot easier.
