If you do assemble such a kit maybe post it here and ask it be made a sticky? I'm sure it would be a huge help for many.

Me too---should arrive this very day in fact.
I've mentally struggled going this route but decided to bite the bullet. Since I already own nothing but Milwaukee cordless (and corded) tools what's one more right? Brings my total tool count to just about 20.........
I ordered the 2754-20 3/8" M18 impact---its been shown to remove lug nuts on semi trucks. It'll be carried in the van along with my Hummer jack for roadside tire changes should they ever be necessary.
I did strongly consider the mid and high torque 1/2" M18 versions but that might be a bit of over kill for my daily needs. If the 3/8" doesn't work as I hope I'll have the larger more powerful 1/2" tools but that's yet TBD.
Since I also do other work where an impact would be handy this tool won't sit around too often. And because my 30 year old home compressor is probably on its last legs moving to cordless tools might ease the pain of that loss.
