It was a Makita electric that I got from Home Depot... nothing special.
Do you have much experience with impact wrenches by chance? I'm looking to get one and could use a recommendation.
Thanks, Habbibie!

Best bang for the buck is IR air if you have an air compressor with a long enough hose, but obviously it's the least Mobile unit, and it's loud so no impacting after 9pm so u don't piss off the neighbors.
I personally don't use air driven tools anymore but it's only because it's more of a hassle setting up a compressor and dealing with the hose continously but my coworkers who still do set up air compressors swear by this exact model as the best of the best wrench.
The electric has same rules apply as air but an extension cord is far easier to deal with than a bulky air hose.
My favorite is cordless though it's heavy as all hell When working with it all day, however it's best aspect is mobility & it too runs on the same battery as my drill, impact driver, saw and vacuum so less headache finding a power source to power it up.
If you look online for reviews of any of these you'll notice DeWalt and Milwaukee run neck & neck with each other as the top two usually, I use both brands but for a good reason
Almost all DeWalt tools I use including the impact are faster and lighter than Milwaukee, also weaker in power output but that is beneficial if you start working with critical items that strip easily or small screws and bolts or wood work.
For every Dewalt tool i have I also have a Milwaukee M18 counterpart (not the Fuel version) they are heavier, too strong for light work but top end power is unmatched and the big pack battery outlasts dewalts 3:1 so less down time.
The "Fuel" brand by Milwaukee I found out is weaker than the M-18, closer to the Dewalt specs but it's slower than all and heavier too, battery life is still superior to Dewalt.
Also Not to upset Andy but Chicago tools are not made to last (matter of fact anything from harbor freight) ,, in the beginning of my career I went through them like toilet paper... Poor build quality and can not handle abuse or drops for heights higher than 12"
Also I still stand by this chart and so do all my coworkers
Dewalt, Milwaukee, hitachi & Makitta are best, Dewalt and Milwaukee are great for industrial & commercial use, Makitta & hitachi are better off for less use such as a dedicated DIY person or mobile mechanic.
Avoid Craftsmen, Bosch, Chicago, Black & Decker, Ryobi.
However after all this air tools are far more still superior just as I said no mobility and the constant need for an air compressor is a killer for most.
