hitachi ones are good for cars. i use mine everyday at work on earthmoving equipment rips 24mm bolts undone, had it for 3 years goes good. just check the brushes yearly and replace if needed. the hammer action in these is perfect for a car as their torque isnt super high, but good enough
the snap on ones will snap off your wheel studs.... mate has one and these are crazy powerful. can undo 36mm head bolts peice of piss
hitachi ones should expect to pay around 600-700 for them
snap on around 900 or so
my 2 cents
Slightly OT, but how do you find the electric/battery line trimmer? Im considering one as i just cracked the cylinder head on my old one.
ive just got a cheap $300 bosch drill with a bit that you can fit impact drivers on, somethings you can undo easily with it some you have to crack first, but makes working on the car so easy, tightens things up nicely to but i always check them with a ratchet after to make sure

I'm another Hitachi 18v fan.
Runs on the same battery as the drill, and I have an angle grinder skin for it as well. The awesomeness of the angle grinder just can't be described adequately.
so how do these 12/18 volt angle grinders sack up? how much noise do they make compared to the 240v like 1/2 3/4 times the noise ? so i can get some work done at night
^ my 18v $50 supercheap drill does heaps better then my 12v $100 bosh drill altho i would need some thing to match my 240v drill, i figure that would be a hitachi by the reviews above.

r ok, i guess its not that much better but wud be useful at wreckers and wat not for rust and damage repair
The noisiest thng about grinding/ cutting is the grinding/ cutting part. No matter what you use, it's going to be noisy.
It's got enough grunt to do almost as much as a 240v grinder. The only thing I've found that will seriously slow it down was cutting 6mm alloy.
