It's cool indeed but it's M12. I've got one and appreciate it but wouldn't want to rely on it as my sole wrench, or even for the trail.Milwaukee came out with a stubby last year. Nice mid range medium tool

Yep, you won’t regret it. 1/2inch Earthquake. Read the reviews, save a boatload of money.Harbor Freight FTW
That e-ratchet actually sounds more useful than a big impact.If you are actually gonna use it for wrenching and not building a deck, a full-size impact is not going to fit in many places around your Jeep. I’ve got an 8-year old 1/2” impact from Ryobi that I use mainly for lug nuts and it will fit under there to get on control arm bolts and lower shock bolts.
But my favorite tool for wrenching is the battery powered 3/8” ratchet that Milwaukee makes. Last I checked, Milwaukee was the only box-store brand that makes these and they make more mechanic’s tools than the other brands as well. This thing is awesome. Occasionally you will need a breaker bar to get it going first but it saves a ton of time and fits almost everywhere I need it to. Just replaced suspension on a Tacoma a couple of weeks ago and it did everything besides lug nuts. Only needed a breaker bar on control arm bolts and shock mount bolts.

Thats the one I have and it's not found a bolt yet it can't take out....I got this from Dewalt to compare specs it removed the ultra hig( torque lower control arm bolts and 130 ft lb lugs are easy peasy
