makita. I work at a dealership and half the shop is makita. Most of them old ones too. The rest is snapon or something else. I wouldnt do snap on, they are over priced.

All the electric impact guns I have at my house I consider useless besides using it to snug something up rather than ratcheting at it. Still have to go back and use a regular ass wrench. Heck even cheaper air impact guns can't do the job that arm strength can. I laughed when a friend couldnt get lugnuts off with his impact gun.
