I have the 6916 and haven't twisted the heads off of screws.
You'll get a feel for using it very quickly unless you
are a klutz.

I just ordered the 6932 from Coastal. From reading elsewhere, I
understand that there is risk of twisting off the screw head with
these Makita units.
I tried the Hitachi 12V impact driver with the 1.2AH nicads at 780"#.
The power was adequate but the batteries gave out too early driving
2.5" screws into a dry 6x6. Definitely want the 2.6AH NiMH units.

the Makita can EASILY sink a 3 1/2" screw. It has over 800
inch lbs of torque. I've used it many times for long
screws. You gotta try it to believe it.
