[g] Never heard of impact on a 1/4 inch hex drive before, must be missing something. Self-tapping bolts, you mean because your interior walls have metal studding? Personally I wouldn't be using an impact driver for self-tappers or wood screws. YMMV. |

Having said that 90 Nm is probably more than adequate anyway so if you need to do lots if fixing without pausing for a battery swap then its probably a good deal.

If you already have a Makita cordless drill, (or other tool) the cordless IDs can be very good value bought "body only" to use with the same batts as charger. (my 18V one was about £80 odd quid that way IIRC) [1] http://www.makitauk.com/products/fro...&model=6936FDZ I have a corded Makita impact driver, can't recall the precise model number, but its superb. I bought it for decking because 6mm x 90mm coach bolts take a lot of battery power and a corded tool takes the load off the battery one. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

But for anything less intensive, I would (I did) choose cordless in preference. Simply note that cordless pro-models far outnumber cordless - most pro's are choosing cordless. |

But for anything less intensive, I would (I did) choose cordless in preference. Simply note that cordless pro-models far outnumber cordless - most pro's are choosing cordless. I'll elaborate on that. I already had a 14.4v Makita impact driver with 3 x 3a/h Ni/Mh batteries. To speed things up I wanted a second impact driver. Since you remove a 'life' every time you discharge/charge a battery I figured a mains driver was cheaper than replacing a battery - which strangely it is. Battery being £70 odd. I'd definitely go for cordless as the first choice, but the corded is a handy tool. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |
