    hi uncle dan- good question. by far and away the best performing one i have seen is the snap on . but that costs a fortune. dewalt is good. wondering about the harbor freight models, but dont know anybody who has one. the battery jobs are good for light duty work. like uncle moe used to say, nothing stands in the way of an air impact driver or a torch. regards oldduke

      Harbor freight has some new 20V models just not sure how they stack up to some of the name brands.

          I don't think HF have brushless motors which is the latest technology.

            hi uncle dan- that may be a very good point. my electric drills, saws, etc have not had any problems with their old tech of brush motors. hf may very well use this old tech, but not sure brushless is necessarily better. what is the advantage of brushless motors in these tools? do know that newer tech sometimes is worse than what it replaced. two examples that come to mind in personal experience are the interference engine where a failed timing belt wrecks the engine and the hydraulic actuated clutch w/internal slave cylinder where the cylinder leaks and leads to a full clutch job(lever and cable clutches were better). what think you? thanks tons oldduke

    I have a variety of Dewalt 18 volt battery powered tools, including an impact driver. I also have several Dewalt shop tools (table saw, miter saw, router.) Never disappointed with Dewalt.

    If I were buying now, (and wasn't so invested in 18 volt batteries), I'd probably go for the 20 volt Dewalt.
