is there a reason why you want to have a drill? couldn't you use this impact driver instead? socket adapter all break pretty fast on impact drivers. look at this project farm video where he compares some:HotDealBreaker wrote: ↑ Very tempted.
But still can't decide between:
this + drill
or
driver+drill combo from another brand (~ $250 on sale) + some socket adapters
Looks like the latter will be less cost.
You're right - for most jobs the impact will work out just fine (and more power) , but the biggest reason is for tight spaces work - especially at 90 degree angles - Check out "Chris Fix" on Youtube, his latest Christmas video, where he shows this exact point. Its a godsend for that reason alone.UnexpectedToken wrote: ↑ is there a reason why you want to have a drill? couldn't you use this impact driver instead? socket adapter all break pretty fast on impact drivers. look at this project farm video where he compares some:
I'm no expert at all. What I heard is that you can not do refined drilling using a impact driver, due to it "impacts". Fence/deck should be fine, but no kitchen cabinets/furniture.UnexpectedToken wrote: ↑ is there a reason why you want to have a drill? couldn't you use this impact driver instead?
Ah yeah i was confused and I went looking for his video. cuz usually a impact driver is more compact than normal drills. :PVelvetsmack wrote: ↑ You're right - for most jobs the impact will work out just fine (and more power) , but the biggest reason is for tight spaces work - especially at 90 degree angles - Check out "Chris Fix" on Youtube, his latest Christmas video, where he shows this exact point.

Edit: I misspoke - Was speaking to a "Ratchet" vs Drill. My Bad - information is still helpful however..
hmm you might be right, im not an expert neither. drills can be variable speed though so i can see that helping a bit.HotDealBreaker wrote: ↑ I'm no expert at all.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
