HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. WITH PLENTY OF ABUSE ON THE THIRD YEAR THE MOTOR WENT. NICE AND LIGHT WITH PLENTY OF POWER (960 INCH POUNDS)ANY THING MORE JUST SNAPS SCREWS. VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED.I LIKED IT SO WELL, I BOUGHT A SECOND ONE FOR HOME. BOSCH QUICKLY HANDLED THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY EVEN PAID FOR ALL THE SHIPPING.EXELLENT TOOL THAT OUTLASTED ALL OF MY OTHER DRILLS & DRIVERS.
It just doesn't take that much effort to hold on while the driver does the work. The torque of the drill could really strained my elbows and wrists in those situations.The difference that this impact driver makes is just incredible. The quick hammer blows inflicted by the driver don't transfer up into my joints the way the continuous torque of the drill did.The last bonus was discovering what a socket attachment could do on the end of this tool. I'm thankful that my disease is moderate, but anything I can do to help his victory.I bought this as an extravagance. I can't say enough good things about this tool. First of all, I don't have to grip the driver as tightly as I had to grip the drill.
I needed to assemble a band saw stand with dozens of half-inch bolts, and the entire job was almost effortless with the impact driver.Battery life is excellent, too. My woodworking has become more difficult as my rheumatoid arthritis has advanced. I had been driving screws with a cordless drill without too much difficulty except for those times when I needed to reach into a cabinet, or when the pilot hole wasn't quite right. Then, the torque effect just isn't there.
the batteries do go dead, but no more then a 12v drill thats what this replaced for me. the tool was great. i will upgrade when they come out with a newer model since they just started coming out with some Lithium-Ion tools. Let me get to the point i use this thing alot i bought it as a recon. No yellow/Black here. being a 9.6 it really pays off in weight, yeah the batteries could last longer but it is really light and that pays off much more.
i love all my bosch tools - my truck is filled with blue/red boxes. Well its to small to be a horse ;O). i just finished installing slatwall in a 3000 sq ft retail space. I have 4 batteries and a 15 min charger so i usually always have one ready to go.
the light is a nice feature not as much as the belt hook. I got all the control I need to screw my wood project together. I am so happy I bought this tool. I use it mostly in my workshop to built wood project. It is very small, handy and extremely powerful.
