The Makita DTD155Z Impact Driver is a cordless tool, coming with plenty of freedom and flexibility. It takes an 18V lithium-ion battery which is sold separately. If you've used Makita tools in the past, you may well have a suitable battery already. One feature of interest is the tool's LED lighting system which provides illumination in dark areas. A handy electronic brake stops rotation quickly and safely.
