FYI, those HF torque wrenches do not have a great reputation for accuracy. With low torque aluminum bolts, you really don't want to chance accidentally over-torquing. By contrast, the HF Earthquake XT 1/2" impact is great. It's astonishingly powerful and seems quite durable so far.

Home Depot is running some promotions across several cordless systems where you can get one or two batteries or tools free when you purchase a combo kit. Probably a good deal for someone who hasn't invested in a system yet.

Though I can't find a sale on it at the moment, I highly recommend the Milwaukee M12 stuff. It's amazing how small the tools are, and yet they still manage to be quite effective. The most shocking is that they have a 3/8" impact wrench rated at 250ft/lbs, and it actually works quite well while weighing about a third of what my big 1/2" does.
