An 18V drill driver will do that just fine without impact (unless you
buy the toy ryobi/ppoo stuff).

What are you on about, girls? When did you ever need a 6"
screw??

Recently I drove in about 300 them. I used a pilot hole, drill/driver to
start and a Kress/Wickes SDS, without hammer action, to slowly drive the
screw in. The Bosch drill/driver could not cope. An 18v drill/driver could
not drive in a 4 or 6" screw without a pilot hole, an impact driver can,
doing the job in a fraction of the time.
