One question I’ve been asked on MyFixitUpLife is “I see carpenters on TV using impact drivers. They look cool but do I need one?”
My answer is: depends.
Cordless impact drivers are pro-grade and one unit I’ve used that I like quite a lot is Makita’s BTD 141. If you’re only doing a few projects a year, well, you may be nicely served by a nice-quality drill/driver. If you’re cranking out larger remodeling projects, well the money spent on a professional-grade impact driver will come back to you in time saved. Of that, I have no doubt.
Cordless impact drivers mostly do what drill-drivers do–except faster and better–especially 18 volt Lithium Ion-powered units like the BTD 141.
