Yeah. Taiwan is the goto nowThat's the tool snobbery at work.
It wasn't all that long ago a big DeWalt and like 4 batteries just to get through an afternoon of real work was considered "the shit".
They and everyone else are all china now.

What doesn't make sense? It's an impact driver. If you need bigger get a impact wrenchNo tool snob here. Never understood the logic behind a 1/4" drive impact driver though. Makes no sense to me, and I imagine doesn't make much sense to people who regularly use impacts for what impacts are used for either.
As an electrician we used them almost exclusively. Its a driver not a wrench. They're basically a drill and won't beat the shit out of stuff if it gets stuck a lil. Think metal studs and stuff.No tool snob here. Never understood the logic behind a 1/4" drive impact driver though.

for most mechanic shit, my Hitachi 1/4" electric rattle paddle does the trick too. It pulls wheels off just fine.Are you doing mechanic shit? No? You're doing construction shit? 1/4" is all you need.
3/8" is for garage stuff. You don't need enough torque to pull 30 year old head bolts when you are installing shelves.
It's not an impact wrench man, its a driver, entirely different tool.No tool snob here. Never understood the logic behind a 1/4" drive impact driver though. Makes no sense to me, and I imagine doesn't make much sense to people who regularly use impacts for what impacts are used for either.

When I think impact I think stuff you'd need an impact function for, which is not anything to do with wood or light metal I've ever come across. Be like having the hammer turned on your drill and not drilling in masonry or somethingAre you doing mechanic shit? No? You're doing construction shit? 1/4" is all you need.

Ever built a fence? Impact drivers make that a bit easier.When I think impact I think stuff you'd need an impact function for, which is not anything to do with wood or light metal I've ever come across. Be like having the hammer turned on your drill and not drilling in masonry or something
Ever built a fence? Impact drivers make that a lot easier.
More miles of fence than I can remember.Ever built a fence? Impact drivers make that a bit easier.
i was there like 10 years ago, because I didnt understand what they wereMore miles of fence than I can remember.
You maybe right and it's just one of those things I never felt a need for so didn't use and thus didn't experience how much easier it could make it. Half decent regular screw gun seemed easy enough that's all.
Trust me: it's worth way more than a 7" battery powered miter saw.More miles of fence than I can remember.
