 Light weight, full of power September 4, 2010

My 18 volt Ni-Cad batteries were dying on my hammer/drill driver so I upgraded my batteries by buying the 18 volt impact driver with the Lithium batteries and new charger. Dewalts new batteries fit their older Ni-Cad tools (they look a little different on them though), which allowed me to use both my new impact and my old drill on the same batteries. The Lithium batteries are much lighter that the ni-cad ones. The impact driver is very light and powerfull. I was rebuilding my deck this summer and the impacts power and size came in very handy. It is louder than a regular drill driver. If you are using it all day, you may get a head ache. People walking by my house gave me weird looks when they heard the noise, possibly thinking I was using a broken tool, but when showed them what it did, they were impressed. I can't wait to show my dad this tool, it will probably convince him he could use an upgrade from his drill/driver. I think this tool will be harder on driver bits, because of its higher torque. Dewalt makes special bits for impacts, but I have not tried them enough to see if they were better or are just black painted versions of their regular bits, with a higher price. There is not torque limiting clutch on the impact driver, so you will have to watch how far you sink in your screws. When removing some old screws, I snapped or stripped most of them, probably because the screws were not as strong as they once had been and the impact is powerful. This tool will take a little getting used to, but I think it is well worth the money.
Great service and product August 31, 2010

My husband is delighted with the DeWalt impact driver. The first one shipped had issues with the charger, but a replacement was shipped even before I sent back the first one!! Great customer service, no hassle, and the new one is perfect. Already getting lots of use out of it.
Great item at a great price! July 19, 2010

My husband LOVED this impact driver. He used it to frame 2 rooms in our basement and it made the job so much easier. He highly recommends this product.
Perfect!!!! March 18, 2010

It will be hard to use any other drill/driver ever again once you try this machine...

I am not a contracter, but do a lot of home projects. I bought this to sister some joists in my upstairs bathroom with lag bolts. I was amazed by how much power is packed into such a small package. It fit into some really tight spots!
I opted for this model over the NiMH because of my previous experience with other Lithium Ion tools. The power curve on the battery stays pretty strong right until the very end the end and then just drops off.
I have driven T-Star lag bolts, square drive screws, and 7/16 hex bolts with this...all of them with no problems. No broken or snaped heads. I think the person that said they wished there was an adjustable torque setting was probably over driving whatever they were using.
I'm sure this tool will come in handy for many more D.I.Y. projects.
