Its got sustained torque vs the peak torque of an impact driver. So even though on paper it looks like less torque it still drivers fasteners faster then an impact driver. I've used this before and it's a joy to use, fast, quiet and the speed control is so nice.
*Good price for **MyBest.Tools** for a young homeowner. I have a broad range of tool brands, but I think dewalt really nailed the features and feel and power needed for impact and regular drill. Amazing battery life.*
No difference for me but it would depend what you are running already because you can buy the body only. I like the one touch big holder (chuck) so that would draw me towards the Milwaukee.
I love your reviews of the impact drivers. However, I think you are doing the Tek screw tests incorrectly in these comparisons. You have a piece of lumber under the sheet metal. This will not allow the tek screw setting on these drivers to function correctly. The sheet metal should be bare. Then the driver will run the screw in fast and then impact slowly once the head bottoms out. With the lumber underneath, the driver encounters resistance and 'thinks' that it has hit bottom and starts the slow impact process prematurely.
AvE took apart the Rigid brand hydraulic impact and found an extreme amount of heat sinking around the hydraulic mechanism. Will one of these survive an unmotivated employee draining the entire battery on a stuck fastener? The mechanical ones seem to tolerate a stubborn fastener just fine. Can hydraulic impacts take abuse like that or will it blow up?
Probably not. My conventional DeWalt 887 impact driver has the hammer and anvil housing get extremely hot when driving a lot of 130mm bugle head screws or doing a lot of roof screws. I would imagine the fluid impacts are not going to like being heavily abused.

Nice review, I love this impact driver, probably my favorite.
Thanks. It is very nice and punches well above the listed torque. Strange but they held their own against the convention hammer on anvil machines.
Looks a good tool, I find I don't use my standard impact driver purely because of the noise.
Which did you prefer out of the surge or the Makita soft impact

So you are trying to up-sell all it's negative features? What does it actually do well? apart from make less noise.
Maybe there is a reason for the floating battery mounting?
It's also 205 in the standard gen 2 Milwaukee.
Can you tell me the opening song track? I love it

It's not bad but it's not as quiet as you would expect from a pulse drive. It's still early days for impulse drivers.
It’s not a bolt it’s a screw js
