Over the Holidays Lowes had the Bosch 18V Impact driver and 18V drill

How do you like it?

I love it. The 12V version was an eye-opener. I'll never use a drill to
drive a screw again.

I kinda thought that way but when it comes to furniture and the smaller #7
pocket hole screws and regular square drive #8 going into hard wood you can
very easily split the wood if you put a little too much on it. I still
prefer the drill driver for applications where too much torque might screw
things up. For rough application where appearance at the screw location is
not a factor the impact sees a lot of action.

Yeah, the impactors are designed for construction applications, but
once you use one for awhile, you get to know their trigger/torque
factors and can control them fairly well.

For predrilled holes, I'd still use a drilldriver on furniture.
