Default 12 volt impact wrench

I did that a couple vehicles ago, changing shocks. The breaker bar
sheared off the bolt, and an impact wrench loosened the bolt. Ah,
well.

The downside of using a breaker bar is that you're far more likely to
break the bolt. An impact wrench is MUCH better for this situation.

While I have never used a cordless impact wrench, I would tend to
have little confidence in a 12V unit. Nevertheless, I will defer to
someone who has actually used one.
