Wow. It quickly became a favorite of mine on the jobsite. I used it hard and it never once let me down. I found that before, even with an 18v drill that screws would shear off before going into the boards which made it difficult to make secure connections in the wood. I bought it toward the end of the build so I only got to use it on a few hundred screws but never a disappointment. I had never used a tool like that. I bought this last year after my Black and Decker 18v drill died it's 3rd death.
The woods are also made super tough (like rock) from a chemical that must be sprayed on them to make them fire retardant. It is hard to make something look old and spooky and still have it be safe so having good, solid tools is a must. I got it in a 4 tool combo kit on sale at Lowes. I'm looking forward to using on this season's build as well as in my volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity. I build haunted houses for the Halloween season so most of what I do construction wise is with rough and sometimes very old and hard woods. Right after I charged the battery I tried this tool out. I would highly recommend this tool to anyone who builds.
It drove a 3 inch deck screw into an old hardened 2x4 in the blink of an eye.
I was wrong. I have had the 18volt dill for years and did'nt think that I need an impact driver. I was very impressed. The driver was shipped by a third party and I received it in just a few days. I bought this tool to add to my dewalt collection. I am using the impact more that the drill for driving large screws. This is an excellent tool if you do lots of repair work with 2 by lumber. It make the jobs much easier.
Finished an 800sq ft addition to our home. Quit looking at reviews and go get one. One of the best tools I had. It's awesome.
Get yourself some elongated bits and this driver will fit into ALMOST everywhere you need to use it. Effortlessly drives wood screws without stripping the screw heads like a drill will do. Use the right tool for the right job and you won't be sorry. For hanging cabinets though I use the Ridgid right angle driver. I can sink 2&1/2" screws all day long with a couple of spare batteries and this driver doesn't tire out.
This is the one. Put your weight on it and drive it home. Drivers are the way to go.
