If you want a cordless 1/2" get ingersoll rands new one. It puts out the same as their 1/2" titanium impact. the down side is it only comes with one battery.
Dewalt or Makita impacts are the standard...don't waste your time with anything else...corded or not.
Snap On....puke.
Yeah, cordless ones tend to run more $$$, plus you gotta get batteries and a charger, and it seems like no one can really tell how long the batteries will last. And if you're on a big project, and the batteries die, then you gotta wait for recharge. I've always been a huge fan of corded drills too.
And for the record, anything with snap-on on it will never be seen in my garage LOL My salary doesn't support it.
Saw them at http://www.tptools.com/
They have in house deals and some killer sale prices. There was a Quincy normal 799 for 299 cause it sat there for a year. They build blast cabinets and make a hvlp paint system. Skat Blast is them. Awesome company located in canfield Ohio.
Ordinarily I would agree, but the impacts from snap-on are fantastic. I have used my 3/8" one to take the lugs off of my truck before. I have a dewalt 1/2" corded impact and I wouldn't trust it to tighten a 1/4 inch bolt. Now my dewalt cordless drill is going on 15 years old, and short of replacing the batteries after 13 years or so is still going.

I have this 1/2" impact as well as the 3/4" unit, pretty good luck with those.

My Matco dealer had them on sale with a spare battery right at $600. I know my 1/2 Matco will completely strip a 5.9 down to bare block on one battery.

I'm pretty sold on the IR titaniums. A little research says that they have up to 1100ft/lbs. Which should I get? Slightly used, or very used?

I would get the newer one that other one looks a little rough.
That one should do fine. that is the smallest I would use. Don't know if you could find a bigger one cheaper or not. I have been looking around for one that is broke for cheap. Most of the time its just a bad head gasket and they don't want to fix it.
I personally would want a 30 gal our more for everything I would do at the house, or add a second tank in the system to have the added volume
