Ran across this. I'm tempted to get one, but I just can't justify the expense right now.

Milwaukee 18V Cordless Impact with charger and two batteries.

Damn hard to resist, but I think they are clearancing out for this:

I'm hoping to wait and pick up one of the 28V lithium ion ones. 325 ft-lbs vs 240 ft-lbs

I think the same thing about clearancing. When I saw that Milwaukee had a new line of tools a while ago I knew the old ones would go on sale sometime. Now maybe the time to get that cordless drill I've wanted. The new line is better in everyway (lighter by a hair, longer lasting battery, and more torque), but it will cost you twice the price. I have the Milwaukee 18V and I love it, I will never change tires without one again. It's truely is one of the best tools I own.

With a fully charged battery I've never come up against a nut that it couldn't take off. If Lonnie was still on here you could ask him about his torque arm mount in Oscoda last year. He was stuggling to get it off and I came over with my Milwaukee and in 3 seconds it was off. One of the best things is that the battery maintains close to the 18V until it is just dead. I see a slight drop in torque as the battery is wearing down, but by the time I can't take a lugnut off I'm about 7 seconds from a fully dead battery that won't even turn the socket with no load. That's the way you want it.
