We've got a Milwaukee 1/2" drive impact at work. I think it's 18V. Use it to do the initial torque on the bolts for our excavator mounted steel shear.

That thing may not be used at all some days, but when it's needed, it hits 25-30 bolts per day, tightening as much as it is physically able to do. I bet we have torqued 1000+ bolts with ours with not the first issue.

For hobby use I think it would be fine, just make sure to keep the battery fully charged so it is ready when you are.
