I'm gonna go with Makita 6911HDWA, 12v cordless. Comes with case and charger.
1/2" drive and all the usual good features. $189 from
http://www.toolsforless.com/makita/cordlessdrills.htm
I'm very pleased. 1 second per lug upto 60ft*lbs. I start and finish with a
torque wrench. Slow start to avoid cross threading then let 'er rip.
