First off, buying power tools at Harbor Frieght is a really bad idea if you want anything with any power, or quality, or safety. Their tools are very poor knock-offs that are manufactured in China. The specs. on them are often WAY off. I'll bet whatever you want that the impact driver you bought has nowhere near 220 ft/lb of torque. I am a remodeling contractor and use a Makita cordless inpact driver that has loads of torque. I have also used the Porter-Cable driver and had great luck with it. I killed my Porter-Cable after many years of faithful service,...and abuse. I bought the Makita on the advise of a mechanic friend who uses his in the fleet shop in which he works. I have used mine many time to break the lug nuts on my 3/4 ton truck without any problem. It's a tough wrench. I also respectfully dissagree with Chaz about the Hilti advise. Hilti makes good stuff, no doubt. However, in my opinion, it's WAY overpriced and especially in their cordless drivers, no better than most quality name-brand units. I used some Hilti tools and they are very good. Hilti is getting some severe competition these days and, in my opinion, has chosen to deal with it by keeping their prices very high to attract those who feel that they are getting a better tool because of the high price. That may seem odd, but it sure works in other areas of manufacturing but I think it may just bite Hilti in the ass. That's my long-winded two cents.
