You can make a modern ergonomic tool without making it look like some GI Joe toy designer from the 80s got carried away and decided to slap one of every kind of plastic the factory had to offer just because he could. If I have anything negative to say about its performance it would have to be that it can be a bit TOO powerful at times, and there's no clutch adjustment to be found. I opted for this over Bosch's smaller, lighter and cheaper impact driver because of the additional torque and because it was actually easier to get into tight spaces despite its overall girth. All-in-all I'm pretty happy with it.What I don't like is all the cheeseball plastic ornamentation. All those extra seams are just going to trap more dirt. I'm sure some synergized marketing expert decided that the "compact" tools needed their own brand identity and whatever all else, but really, this is just ridiculous.
Grabbed one of these after being impressed with the 18v cordless drill from the same product line (BDF452HW). It is hard to fault it really. This impact driver has seen a lot of work recently on my home renovation and has performed very well with regard to battery life and its ability to drive screws through hardwood and framing without the need for pre-drilling. The drill is comfortable to use, light-weight and compact enough to drive screws into tight areas with few problems.
This is the handiest tool I have ever used. If I only had one cordless driver, this would be the one.The fact I got a free battery with it, makes it an even better deal. It is light weight, yet has plenty of power.
powerful yet light, very handy driver. will still keep my standard drill/driver because of its clutch, better 'feel' on some stuff.
Rugged, fast charging, very light and ergonomic. If you need a longer lasting charge, get the one with the bigger battery, but for most non-builders, this drill is fantastic. I used to be a contractor but now just build stuff for me.
