My screws are screwed.
A while back I had already bought into the Ryobi one+ 18v tool kit with a cordless drill. Back then I thought a drill was just a drill. I knew I could not drill concrete but at the time I had not needed that. Some time goes by and I realize that I have a project that will need that hammer drill, so once again, Ryobi I go and I picked up the hammer drill. It has sat in my bag unused since the project I picked it up for I ended up getting side tracked on, as many of my projects.
Anyway, back to one of my projects, I was thinking on getting an electric hackzall (milwaukee) but ended up being a day late on the sale and I missed out on a spare battery for the kit I was eyeballing and I was asking my self, why another drill? I had two, albeit 18v then I learned of a kit that had a impact driver so I looked into that. A bit more and I thought, what the heck is an impact driver? So, I hit up youtube and the first video I seen gave me an idea.
So thought a little bit, I don't like swapping out bits... in other words, drilling a hole, then changing the bit to a driver and repeat. Well I had two drills, a hamer and a regular but fairly large 18v so I thought perhaps the milwaukee then I thought why not get some Makita at 180 bucks at the local HD then I talked my self into a Ryobi imapact driver since I had a few batteries anyway.
The thing looks like a large phaser from star track. The difference between the impact driver and my drill was obvious from the first 2" gold screw I sunk into to some weathered 2x4s. The screw bit into the wood and just kept going. Then the driver went into impact mode. Gee, my older drill does sound like this... while its stripping the bit or screw.
I pitted the thing up against my moms 12v lithium ryobi drill. My mom got the screw in, it struggled a bit, slowing down near the finish, then I showed her the new impact driver, then let her try it. She almost took it after words!
Another reason for yet a 3rd drill is for putting tapcons into concrete
EDIT. Sorry, not much of a post. Just felt like sharing... hope thats okay
