But my question is, who would buy a 3/8" impact wrench? It makes no sense to me. 1/2" seems more logical. If you want one of those slow wrenches in electric, that also makes sense. You know, the kind that won't zip stuff on and off.

Me too. I've owned both sizes in cordless and air driven for years and the 3/8 cordless is the most versatile and perfect tool in my box. 3/8" is the size of most sockets used when working on cars unless it's lug nuts or large bolts on the chassis. Everything under the hood or inside the car are smaller fasteners and 1/2" drive tools are too heavy and cumbersome. You are not going to use a 1/2" with a 10mm socket...the small Snap-on 3/8" is the shizzle and it has plenty of torque.
