My families farm has used and severely abused Dewalt impacts for years and have had really good luck with them. We have burned a few motors out but they were getting heavy use in a grain bin for over half a day. I have not personally owned a milwaukee impact but their tools are also very highly recommended (we have a few of their battery grease guns around). Dewalt sells two different impact models. We use both on our farm depending on the job we are doing there is significant torque and weight differences between the two. I posted a link from northern tools for the larger impact.

I can agree with this almost word for word. We also have several milwaukee tools here though, and the dewalts have proven to be a lot tougher under pretty heavy use. Pretty tough to beat the old reliable 18 volt dewalt, although the "prettier" tools can be enticing, I stick with what works. Killed a dewalt once when I dropped it off the roof of the house, from about 20 feet, on concrete.

I vote for Bosch or Makita.

[Stan Krupowies]

I have a Makita that has given me nothing short of great service!

[Mike Henderson]

I have the smaller DeWalt 18V and it's given good service but I haven't used it as much as Ethan.

I recently went with the Bosch. Haven't used it enough to comment on it yet. I got the combo set from Lowes with the impact driver & drill for about $200 minus 10% for my military discount.

The whole Milwaukee M18 line is great. I do currently have a problem with my hammer drill but I've hot a number of the tools and really like them. Get the Fuel version of the impact which has more finesse.

[Scott Brandstetter]

I'm not sure about the above suggestions but I will tell you the Ridgid one I have is absolutely awesome. I got it in a kit with a reg cord drill and the radio (never thought I'd use the radio but actually do). When I go mine I also register each item and each battery (3) for lifetime replacement. Not sure how to beat this deal.

Are you looking for an impact driver or an impact wrench? I ask because you didn't specify, and both can be cordless.

Love my M18 impact wrench too. Especially when my wife called and says she had a flat!

Yeah, I had a flat and it was impossible to get the lug nuts off with the tool that came with the car. I don't know if the tire company puts the lug nuts on super tight or age and corrosion locks them on, but they were TIGHT. Impossible to get off except with an impact tool.

First accessory that goes in any vehicle I buy is a four way lug nut wrench

I have the Milwaukee and have been very pleased. You may consider a drill and driver kit. Sometimes they are the same price as the driver only with charger and batteries.

[Mike Heidrick]

I have been using my Makita a ton the past two months. Love it. LXT 18V Makita with 3.0ah batteries. Also use my 12V Bosch impact a ton and the 12V screw guns.

If I was buying today I'd probably buy a 20V Dewalt vs the Makita.
