Makita 6935FDWDE2, 14.4 Volt Cordless Impact Driver Kit with Free 6337 MForce Drill Reviews
You will never want to use your drill for a driver again. That last point is one most people won't think about until you use this tool. This is one of those tools that you never knew you couldn't do without until you got it. As for the other reviewers comment about picking up at Home Depot for less, it's a different model - the one sold here at Amazon for $219, even cheaper than Home Depot and with free shipping and no sales tax making it about $25 cheaper on Amazon. Due to the operation of the impact action, it doesn't "ride up" on the screw head as easily, thus doesn't strip the screw head. More compact, more power and much less likely to round out the head.
The variable speed trigger is very smooth. It really took the work out of driving screws. It only took driving the first few screws to get the feel for feathering the trigger to keep from overdriving them, which you could easily do if you gave the driver "full throttle". I received this tool from Amazon last week and put it to work driving screws on concrete forms for my house building project. This was my first experience with an impact driver and I was very impressed with how powerful it was, considering that it is so light weight and well balanced. I highly recommend taking the plunge and adding this wonderful tool to your arsenal. Even the 3" screws driven through double 2X lumber went in quickly and without effort.
Also the free Mforce drill that they threw in made this an eveen sweeter dealn. This tool is also very lightweight and compact and feels like an extenssion of your hand not a small dumbell like some of my Dewalt 18 volt driversdo. The light is also another nice added little bonus while it wont light up a jobsite its perfect to illuminate a small area without having to get a flashlight out for one screw. This isn't a knock on the dewalt either which is also a good tool,but the power of this tool amazed me. This has just as much power as my 1/2" cordless dewalt which supposedly has 300 ft/lbs of torque. I use impact drivers almost constantly all day everyday working as an installation contractor.
I've used all the ones out there both cordless and corded and while this can't compete with the corded models by dewalt,Milwaukeee,and Makita when it comes to speed and power with large lags it definetely blows away its cordlesss competition. All in all an awesome tool and if you haven't switched over to impact drivers from cordless drills for driving screws its time to move into the future and tyhis is definetly a great driver to do so with The box is designed smartly with plenty of space for extra bits and the sort. Its also very fast and the precision of the variable speed trigger also really impressed me( great for drywall).
This things runs for days between charges. It has performed flawlessly. The best feature is the battery. I bought this driver about six months ago. I am a cabinet installer and use this driver five days a week. I would highly recommend this driver to anyone that drives screws all day. It fits easily into tight places and the little light, which I thought was a gimmick, has proven to be helpful when trying to get onto a fastener in dark spots.
