I picked up this Bosch impact driver at Lowes over the weekend. Heckuva price at $99 and uses the same batteries as my Bosch drill . Impressive little tool

I bought this piece of garbage with the single forward/reverse trigger.  Maybe it's Alzheimers setting in but I never seem to get the right direction the first time. The single trigger with a reversing switch is a much better offering, IMHO.

Anyone using them.
I use the Milwaukee M18 1/4" hex drive impact and I'm more than satisfied with it. The 1/4" hex drive makes it very versatile especially since it allows me to use my DeWalt 1/4' hex right angle adapter, which allows me to get into some tight and tricky areas. The only downside is that when I use it on max power it will occasionally break some of the 1/4" hex fittings. Overall the utility outweighs the small price of a few fittings here and there

I've been switching all my cordless stuff to the Milwaukee M18 stuff. It's nice having less chargers and batteries and so many tool options.

I bought the Ryobi cordless impact from Home Depot, primarily because it uses the same battery pack as my drills.  I'm really pleased... don't know how I got along without it all these years!

My son gave me a new DeWalt XR impact with 1400 breakaway torque. I haven’t used it yet.

I also had a Ryobi set and it did the job but one battery went dead so I was down to only one. Decided to sell all my other cordless tools on marketplace and do some upgrading. I decided on the Milwaukee M18 stuff as my kid uses them at his shop and swears by them. Like the Ryobi they use the same batteries for everything which is a big plus. I used to have 4 different chargers on the bench and tools all over. Now I have the Milwaukee packout wall rack with everything in it. To have the same batteries for my drill, driver, sawzall, weedeater, blower, hedge trimmers etc etc and lot of other tools on my list is great! The best part is my kid has a TON of M18 stuff so I can borrow any of his stuff if I need it.

I have a mix between the Fuel series and the brushless. My level of use doesn't IMO justify the extra on some stuff that doesn't get used as often like a sawsall.
