[s-cars] Any concensus on Cordless Electric Impact Wrenchs

[mlp5]

Yep, like I said, I think I screwed myself!  I bought a similar "bag" last
summer, but chose the Bosch version as they also included a cordless jig saw
and were throwing in a 18v cordless planer for the same money as the
Milwaukee bag at the time.  

I'm pretty sure the Bosch 18v batteries WON'T fit the Milwaukee tools.

Hum, maybe that's an up & coming business opportunity for some enterprising
party - a universal battery adapter allowing one to swap one mfg's 18v
battery into another.  I'd really rather try to keep one type/style of
battery around.

Any way, thanks for the suggestion's.  Google tells me Milwaukee 9079-22
units are going for @ $310 (discounted from a list if @600); the 9079-20
units for $190 (List $320)

Any one seen better pricing?  I'm guessing the Snap-On version might be made
by Milwaukee?
