I'm amused by your comment ( no reflection on TMH). Provided that
you
control an impact driver properly, it is useful. Do not be prissy
with it. Ensure that you put significant pressure on it before
striking it.

We are talking electric impact drivers

I wondered if someone would come back with that comment. It is still
critical to ensure that you put enough pressure on the appliance
whether manual or otherwise powered. If you do not put pressure on
it then you have a small useless bowl!

Indeed, having spent more years than I care to remember using power
impact wrenches it's very noticeable how the amount of pressure
applied to the tool has an effect on how effective the impact wrench
is - it's also extremely funny to watch an inexperienced person see
the tool jump off the fixing when they forget to hold the tool down
upon pressing the trigger!
