I have used these for 22 years in carpentry and cabinetmaking: http://www.cpopowertools.com/products/dw268.html?ref=googaw&kw={keyword}&gcl id=COC8reW856ECFWI65wodJ0XQIw&keyword=dewaltdw268 &sissr=1 Maybe 30 years ago, but now that impactors are on the market, they are absolutely TITS! My Bosch 14.4v Impactor batteries are showing their age, too, and it's time I made the switch to lithium. (Tastes great!) http://fwd4.me/Pce is the cream of the crop, impactor-wise. The Makita has a very short nose for nice, tight spaces. The 3.0 AH lithium batteries should outlast my nicads by 4x, twice in lifetime and twice in length of operation. They charge in under 30 minutes, too. I paid $215 for the Bosch kit in 2006 and this one is $260, delivered. Not a bad ROI for the Bosch, as I'll prolly get $100 for it used. I'll keep the $30 HF drill set, my old 14.4v Ryobi drill motor, and the ancient 1/2" chucked B&D VSR for backups. I frequently do decks 'n fences, and the impact is the only way to fly. It made regular drills and screwdriver drills obsolete overnight. They require 1/4 the effort to sink a 3-1/2" screw into a deck board + frame member. Wear your muffs, they ain't quiet. They get the Binford Tools triple thumbs up award, though. arr, arr, arr, More Power -- Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction. - Blaise Pascal |
