Default Last minute Christmas present - Impact Driver?

Here we are at Christmas Eve and I still haven't told Father Christmas
what I'd like tomorrow!

I've often wondered about an impact driver. Ever since I bought an SDS
drill, I've wondered how I ever managed without it. Is an impact driver
in the same class? Would I be likely to use it instead of a regular
drill/driver for inserting and removing all screws - or does it have
limited application? Will I be more likely to smash the hell out of
screw heads?

According to Wiki (the regular one, not "our" Wiki) there is a
distinction between an impact driver and an impact wrench - the latter
providing rotary impact without downwards impact at the same time.
Presumably an impact *driver* wouldn't be suitable for undoing car wheel
nuts - I'd need an impact "wrench" for that?

Any experiences from users of either would be very welcome.

Cheers,
Roger
