Recommend me a hydraulic impact driver

Like the Milwaukee Surge? Or something different? I have a surge and think it is great, bought it to complement my impact driver on a deck job last summer and was throughly impressed.

Used everyday by power lineman and other utilities.

Thanks. I've never worked in that area. I have seen hydraulic chainsaws being used by tree crews, though. Makes perfect sense.
