I do have this 1/2" driver now, and my local HD has 30 in stock:

I know what the issue was, HD has "impact driver" and "impact wrench". I'd looked up drivers, which use the 1/4" hex vs square wrench. When I look up impact wrench, I find what I was expecting.

I think I'm going to go with the current iteration of the kit above. 18V 1/2" drive wrench, charger, 4ah battery kit and then a similar kit for the leaf blower, that way I'll have two 4ah batteries. Then I'm going to go with an electric, corded pressure washer. I think that'll be more effective than a battery powered model, especially since those are 40V which would mean buying stuff to support the 40V gear, probably to only have a single 40V item.
