Puzzled over the claimed torque of impact drivers.

I get even more confused.

To me an impact briver is a thing about the size of a half pint milk
bottle with a bit on the front that you bash with a hammer to loosen
the screw/bolt attached.

That's 'cos you are an Old Fart. I have one of those too and am, too,
an OF. The world has moved on, and impact driver means a nasty noisy
thing that tries to make up for lack of clout by rattling a lot (I
don't have one of those).

Yerbut, one of them 'nasty noisy things that tries to make up for lack of
clout by rattling a lot' can put a 90mm coach bolt into a deck frame in 4
seconds, no pilot :-)

Why am I building a deck in November?
