I have the HF 2-ton long reach low profile jack... reaches the middle front and rear jack points.

The Milwaukee is one of the best battery impacts out. It has a chip in it to monitor the battery condition. The others don't. Dewalt is planning to install the chip in next year models according to the rep I talked to at work.

I have a Sears 19.2V impact. It's been good, not great. I used it for the levelers on the camper when I had it. It got the job done.

If you get an impact. Get a commercial grade, not a DIY. The commercial grade has metal gears. Some DIY don't.

Thanks rusty! Ive been reading up on what to look for in terms of impact wrenches. This will be my first impact wrench so i have a lot of research and learning ahead of me. I will definitely look into the more stronger/robust options, since i would rather spend a bit more the first time around than have to purchase another one in the future.

Assuming you mean the light up indicator of how much power is left in the battery then the Dewalts already have them as the one I got last weekend has it.
