Max torque on the drill will be significantly lower. Many 18V drills top
out at about 60Nm, and 18V ID will do north of 150Nm (although for
comparison a full on cordless impact wrench will usually do several
times that). Also the rotational impact action can be better at freeing
stuck fastenings than continuous torque.



+1. Once you actually use one you won't want to give it up.

So, I've used an electric screwdriver (the good Bosch one) and it was
'good', but for me, only for those repetitive jobs where control
wasn't an issue (especially running slotted brass screws into a brass
hinge etc).

But even with a clutch and on 'rough and ready jobs', you would get
some screw heads buried in the timber and others not deep enough to
create their own countersink?

For undoing loads of cross-head screws I can see how they could be of
use (I've used my drill driver for that many times).

What would you suggest would be the typical 'perfect example' of a job
for such a driver?
