I've had the Craftsman 19.2V 1/2" impact for 3+ years now. At first I used it with the NiCad batteries I already had on hand, and if fully charged they would remove lug nuts ok, but I'd be lucky to get through one complete wheel swap before the battery started to die. Upgraded to lithium batteries and it made all the difference in the world. It will do multiple wheel swaps on different cars, and the batteries can sit for weeks/months between charging and still be good to go.


I also have a Dewalt 14.4V impat that my wife got me for my birthday 10-12 years ago, before the more powerful impacts were commonly available. Still works well, although not as much power as the newer higher voltage impacts out there.
