Craftsman Compact Right Angle Impact Driver Review

[143mark6275]

@thetoolboxhero @moosegroomers can you use these drivers to drive a 3 in screw into a concrete wall? pre-drilled and w/ tox

thanks!

@143mark6275 Both of the NEXTEC impact drivers have twice the power (800 in lbs) of a good drill so they will be able to drive those screws.

dude i know cause my friend has one. the power is power is good. but if you want your batteries to last a long time, i prefer makita or dewalt.

[TheToolboxhero]

@925jdb If you work on a construction site or up on a roof where you need your batteries to last you all day long then the very expensive DeWalt's and makita's are a good choice. If you only need to drive 200 or so screws at a time the NEXTEC battery is good enough. The best part of the NEXTEC is you can buy 5 or 6 of them for the price of one DeWalt lithium battery. For the homeowner six NEXTEC batteries will power all the tools they need.

i like my 18 v makita better.

@925jdb How do you know? Do you own one of these? For large projects your Makita does have more torque, but that's not always a good thing around the house.

At less than half the price of the Makita, this Craftsman RAID is a much better value for most homeowners.

this stuff really needs to be shown being used on a car, cause a lot of students buy craftsman tools

[TheToolboxhero]

@ohnevergoingtoquit I use my impact drivers myself when to work on small engines and other light nut and bolt jobs. These are really designed for woodworking, but a lot of us are finding out that they have more power than the 1/4 and 3/8 air ratchets and are much faster. For auto work never trust them to tighten a fastener correctly. The 12 volt one like this NEXTEC are around 65 ft lbs of torque. (800 in lbs) Use a breaker bar or torque wrench to get it right.
