>> The Conwell rep is having a sale of the Makita and the IR cordless 3/8" 
>> impacts.  2 guys at my shop have the Snap-On version (one has 1/2", the 
>> other 3/8").  What I don't like about theirs is the size and voltage.

>> I like the smaller size of the IR (6" vs 10") as it feels more compact, 
>> and the weights are very similar.  14.4 instead of 12v for the battery 
>> packs.  AND the IR has an electronic brake, whereas the snap-on version 
>> tends to continue to spin after your finger is off the trigger, which 
>> drives me nuts.
>>
>> Any listers out there want to pass on their .02?  Someone must have tried 
>> one or all of these...
>>
>> The ULTIMATE cordless impact would be something similar to my Snap-On IM 
>> 3100 with interchangeable 3/8 and 1/2 anvils.  But cordless technology 
>> may not be there yet.
