build a small deck. Of course, every new project requires a new tool,
right? And my trusty Bosch cordless drill is showing its age a bit, or
to be more precise, the batteries are showing their age -- building a
deck, I'll definitely drain the batteries in much less time than it
takes to recharge them. So I'm looking at other options,
including compressed air drills (e.g. saw one at the Borg this evening
for $45 or so). But I got to wondering... almost every cordless drill
has a multi-position clutch to prevent overtightening, or sinking
screws too deep. Does anybody make an air drill with such a clutch?
Despite what others have been saying I have recently bought an air
impact driver. Of course as with any tool you get the quality you pay
for. Although as far as I know there are few really cheep quality air
tools yet. For me the advantages are clear 1) there are no
batteries that will die if not used for a months and any way in about 3
years. 2) Smaller than any battery impact driver.

Nonsense. *Have you looked at a Bosch Impactor? *Any smaller and it would
be useless.

Of course it it small however it is also low powered. Size for power air
wins every time.



3) The air hose is far more flexible and longer than any corded driver.
