Good Power for Small Size I LOVE my 12V impact driver! I've used (and abused) my 12V DeWalt drill drivers for a couple of years with GREAT results, and this driver fills the "void" by using the same batteries but being able to get into a smaller space. Only thing I miss is the ability to drive screws at a slower speed...
Thanks for the Power, Scotty This Impact Driver has been a revelation for me. I bought it as a reconditioned tool. It is the tool I reach for when driving screws or bolts. It's light, small enough to fit into tight spaces, and has plenty of power. I won't drill with it if the drilling has to be very precise. My 18 volt Ridgid drill/driver continues to work great, but wears out my hand due to its weight. A great tool.
Light And Powerful The 12 volt impact wrench is perfect for us HVAC technicians. It's light enouigh to carry to rooftops, fast enouigh to move screws fast, and because of impacting capabilities, never too weak to break loose a hard nut or pierce a thick panel.
The last one I bought is still in service with an apprentice; it's now 2 years old. Most of my drills haven't been worth beans by the time I replace them, and most are replaced after only a year or so.
Great tool I wish I had bought this tool a while ago. It is amazing how it makes driving screws easy. It is so small and light you don't want to stop driving screws! It saves me time on predrilling when I install cabinets. It is well worth the money I spent on it. Actually I just ordered a new one for my carpenter because he could not let it go.....
