Why are people buying clamshells of impact drivers? Isn't it always the mechanism that breaks?

These have a heavy battery one end and a heavy motor the other end with
little in between apart from the case. When dropped from the top of a
ladder they tend to bend, crack or break at the bottom of the hand
handle (close to the battery). I've seen a youtube video where this has
been tested and some of the more expensive brands (makita, dewalt etc.)
seem to fair much better than no-name brands but it does appear that it
is a weak point on all makes. It does depend on what hits first when
dropped from height.

"He is a well known attention seeking troll and every reply you
make feeds him.
Starts many threads most of which die quick as on the UK groups anyone

the US groups for a new audience.
This thread was unusual in that it derived and continued without him

I've dropped my cheap one quite a few times, once from about 12 feet onto a paved driveway. All that happened is the battery fell off.
