Just curious as to what's the deal with impact drivers for screws? I'm curious as it seems like just about everyone has many of them and I'm curious as to when and why you would use them....
Just did some sheetrock in one of our rooms in the basement and the good 'ole drill/driver worked great and I had no issues with stripping screws or holding it or anything like that. I don't use any fancy stuff, just a plain old 19.2V Craftsman on low speed. Even when I built my workbench, it was 2 1/2" deck screws and had no issues (I did predrill to eliminate splitting the 2x4s).
I would get driving lag screws as I could see where doing that day in and day out would give huge fatigue but for regular old screws, I don't see the point.
So, what am I missing as everyone seems to use the impact drivers for all screws....
