Does anyone have a battery powered Kobalt Impact Wrench and if so how do you like it? I looked for a thread on battery powered impact wrenches but evidently didn’t use the right search. If not Kobalt what are all of you using. Thanks!

I've the Harbor Freight Earthquake that claims 1200ft-lbs. I don't know how true the claim is, but it's laughed at everything I've tried it on so far.

I’ve had the Kobalt for about a year and a half now, and really like it.  Can’t compare to any of the other modern wrenches, but it is worlds above the old Goodyear 24V I used to use that was sold at Pepboys.  Still use that one for Rallycross, so I don’t get the kobalt too dirty.

I have used a HF Earthquake in a professional setting for 4 years almost. Thats what I recomend.

I have the Kobalt and love it. It’s many years old now (6?) and just keeps trucking.

I have the M18 Mid Tq impact, it's pretty awesome, even w/ a small 2.0A battery pack. Super light and compact, it's rated at 450ft fastening and 600+ loosening tq. All of the battery powered impacts seemed to have upped their game, and I've read alot of praise for the HF Earthquake models but for me, I already had a few other Milwaukee M18 tools and they have a great warranty (perhaps better than the rest).
