[Shop-talk] Cordless Impact Wrenches

I'm seeking recommendations for a medium duty cordless impact wrench.  It'll
be mostly for home and some track use, principally for changing tires and
occasional chassis and exhaust work.

I've seen the usual suspects from DeWalt, Mikwaukee, and Makita in 18V and 24V
=" sizes, as well as the smaller and lighter 3/8" models.

What sort of things should I be looking for?  My guess is that I'll need to
trade off characteristics such as weight, torque, and battery life.  Anything
else?
