Milwaukee. This was my first. 3/8 stubby using an aluminum socket. Figured the socket would strip out but the adapter self destructed. I now have a variety of M12 and M18 tools when the job’s just too far away from an air compressor.

love my milwaukees. i have the big half inch drive high torque impact.
1/2 stubby
and a bit driver. the bit driver if your careful you can get away with using on interior screws and fasteners. just remember if u use it to reassemble dont cross thread the screws, and dont over torque the crap out of them.

I have about 5 impacts ranging from a little DeWalt 12v 1/4" hex drive "screw gun" to a big Milwaukee M18 3/4" drive impact. They all come in very handy and make a lot of work much quicker. You have to use good judgement with them so as not to abuse what you're working on.

I recently was watching one of my neighbors struggle with trying to break free the pitman arm nut on his 1968 Camaro restoration project. A 1/2" breaker bar was bending. I volunteered my 3/4" impact. It didn't even break a sweat. Took about a second to break it free after likely over half a century of being on there and rusting.
