Not entirely sure how it stacks up to the competition but I like the Rigid Gen 5x impact driver I have. It isn't the brushless model. The videos I have seen recommend using the 4 ah battery vs the smaller ones, not sure what the kit comes with if you just buy the impact but my set (drill, impact, light, circular saw, and recip saw) came with two of the 4 ah batteries. It has three power settings, very helpful for when you want to be gentle.
