I did a quick search and did not find anything, it is at least US made. I know they make their own air tools.
I have the dewalt 18v cordless impact.. love it, I use it more now than I do my regular 18v drill.. any time I need to drive a screw that is. when I bought the drill it came with 3 batteries so when I bought the impact wrench I got it just tool no batteries. 22

I like others kinda was trapped into Dewalt. If I had a choice ,Milwaukee would be in my box, that being said I have 2 1/4" impact drivers, a 3/8 impact ( which will shear a 3/8 grade 5) and a 1/2 impact( which has about 300lbs torque) the compressor and big impacts only come out for the tough stuff !!

Looks like a company named Souix that Snap-On owns...
eBay Guides - Snap-On Cordless tools are as good as their batteries

I'm curious, why the attitude? I stated that I wasn't sure from the beginning, and asked if you did.

I give the same that I get.{Well, then who makes it, or do you know?} The proper way is, or don't you know!!

souix also makes a lot of their air tools. Their drills (which are outstanding) are souix, and their die grinders may be as well. I haven't figured out their impacts yet, I think they may be CP, but not sure.
as others have stated, for price I would go with dewalt, especially because you have batteries that will work on other things. I have yet to be disappointed with anything dewalt. If you have the money, check out the snap-on. The ingersolls look interesting as well, and I would look into those if I didn't care about battery compatibility.
If they own Souix then they kind of make their own.

That's what I was thinking too.

not to start a debate here, as it is not relevant to the topic, but Ford Motor Company used to own Volvo, does that mean a Volvo s80 is made by Ford? I know some people consider it the same thing, I don't though. Many companies own other companies but have no bearing on the manufacturing process, especially in the tool world. Check out Apex Tool Group, lots of companies under the same parent company- though very different tools at very different degrees of quality. Just my opinion... yours' may differ.

I have 4 Milwaukees.
1/4" Hex & square grive
3/8" square drive
1/2" Square drive.
All are the newer 18 volt Lithium Ion
The 1/2" is 450 ft/lbs.
I think that is under rated / what a work horse.
I too have been using it more than my composite 1/2" IR2131
Just wish it had a variable torque setting.
It is so darn easy to over torque bolt with it at first.
I am going to invest in some pre-set torque sockets.

I recommend buying a quality torque wrench (snap on) instead of torque sticks, they are not that accurate.

I have always wondered how these work, it is usually not very clear. Are they simply made to different "springyness" and absorb impacts past a certain point, or what? Also, how inaccurate are they? For things like wheels, wouldn't +/- 10% be acceptable, or are they worse than that?

I have 2 snap-on torque wrenchs 1/2"
Also a 3/8"
OTC 1/4"
I just like to spin bolts/nuts up quick close to torque with a gun and final hand torque always.
The Milwaukee is so darn fast and powerful I have shot past the spec. needed.
I have learned to be quicker with the trigger and short bursts.
With the air gun I would just turn the regulator down
There is no adjustment with the milwaukee, but the portability is great.
