The wee beastie arrived in time for the big decking job this week. I'm
simply gobsmacked!

300 sq ft of decking on three levels. This tool has saved me half a day at
least.

Two days spent building the frame with Screwfix 6 x 90 Turbo Gold Coach
Screws - which go in so fast it's just silly. Spent today screwing down the
boards with 4mm x 65mm decking screws. You can drive one in faster than you
can reach into the box to get the next one.

Why didn't someone tell me to buy an impact driver earlier?

Instead of working Saturday to finish the job, I reckon I'll be home by 3pm
Friday.

Too true.

After reading some of the posts here, I thought I would try a Ryobi
unit.

I have recently used it to frame a hipped roof, and instead of the
normal bolt malarky, we used coach screws and the time saving is
unbelievable.

Also, used a Paslode nail gun for the first time too, and again,
incredible tool and time saver.

If anyone has used a Ryobi impact driver and also one form the
supposedly 'better' makes, is there any significant difference?

I also see that Bosch have just bought out a 10.8 lithium 100Nm impact
driver and this is the same size and shape as their excellent
screwdriver. That would definately be worth a look
