Testing Cordless Impact Drivers
With so many models on the market, which one is for you?
With a lot more torque than a cordless drill, these drivers can truly change the way you work. This video shows these tools in action and explains what features distinguish one driver from another. There’s a cool sequence that shows how the impact mechanism works in slo-mo, and a lag bolt driving race between an impact driver and a cordless drill.

I dont understand how you could nreview impact drivers and show the primitive 18v and 14v Dewalt instead of the most used 20v!The other issue that wasnt mentioned here is batteries,Like most people using this stuff daily ,I use whats best and what brand I will be able to share batteries across tools with.If I buy a Panasonic,I wont have any other Panasonic tools on sight to swap batteries back and forth .I will have to buy extra batteries that are very expensive just for this one tool and then buy extra for others.
i agree with the commentor before. this video looks like like its filmed in the 90s and with all the great new generations of impacts and drills out now, it might be time to make another video. also i think dewalt has a 60v battery now for a chop saw so if were talking about 14v in this video then its not valid anymore.
