Consider this:

A large force that is delivered in smaller doses is not as efficient

Perhaps in theory. but in real life, the impact driver works with
multiple lighter strength impacts. Its the multiple impacts that
produce more work in a given period of time. A larger single force may
be way too much or simply not enough.


I believe the flaw to that argument is that an impact driver in fact
does NOT use multiple lighter strength impacts, but actually, due to the
nature of impact, uses momentarily HIGHER forces than the static tool
torque spec would imply.
