Default Who makes the best cordless impact?

I've seen the Igresal Rand with 360 ft# torque for around $34o.
Who else makes a good one and how much are they.

It looks like the tool section is gone so I posted this here.

I have the Matco 3/8. I use it when changing tires, but it does not have enough torque to break lug nuts loose, nor tighten them to my standards.

I buy a lot of cordless tools for my company, and as far as cordless impacts go, I like the Dewalt 1/2 inch 18 volt. I have used one to remove the lug nuts from my truck, no problem. They usually run around $300 TO $325.

I've got a Snap On 3/8 and the 1/2" drive, they work great. Zero issues.
