Yes - we had this discussion when they first came out. Surprising how
many had never heard of 'your' type.


Funny I don't remember anyone not knowing what a purely mechanical
impact driver was Just lots of confused people who had never seen or
used a cordless impact driver.

Not surprising when they were new. Not everyone is a dribble scouring the
net for the latest tools.

they now seem to be a the latest DIY must have tool, have you bought one
yet or

"Nor do I feel the need for one. I've never had problems driving in
any type of screw into anything. For pro use in a specialised field they
may well be wonderful. But this is a DIY group, and there's many tools
I'd want long before one of those."

Can't see anything wrong with that statement. Can you? Or do you feel it's
the first power tool to buy?
