@@not-a-raccoon I watched it and forgot about it until I read his comment but it inspired me to buy a m12 fuel stubby 3/8 and buy an adapter for 1/4 hex chuck to use my 5/16 steel self tappers for the different impact rate with relatively same rpm. It drills and impacts maybe 5% faster than my 20v dewalt dcf885 that outperforms any other impact driver in my field of work. The m12 gets about 80-90% battery life of the 20v amp for amp 2v2 and 4v4 so when I'm roofing for a long time I stick with the 20v but for size/power the m12 blows it out of the water for ground or basket work

Dewalt just came out with the DCF891, which outperforms evey mid-torque on the market right now. It looks similar to the 894, but puts out heaps more power for a similar price and size Of course, this will do a lot of what you need it to. But that 891 brings a ton of power for the midsize category. I think its comparable to the big 1/2 Dewalt you have, in a smaller form factor.

I have used Dewalt battery powered tools since the late 90s... I still have those same tools to this day. I used them for my job (say at least 2 to 3 hours of use each day for 10 years)... Just replaced or rebuilt the battery packs and brushes as they wore out. Of course I have "upgraded" to the newer brushless tools, but the original ones I bought in the 90s are still in working order.

I once had a receptionist drive out into a field in the middle of dark winter (this is Sweden) the day before Christmas (because she was the only one there at that time, you know, office parties) to hand me my replacement tool. You just can't find another company that would provide that kind of service. It also means the tool will damn near never break because when it does... It'll cost them and not me.

Then I bought a 3/8 square to 1/4 hex chuck so I texted the m12 with the same 5/16 self tappers and it is just as good of a screw gun as the 20v dewalt with 80% of the battery life of the 20v amp for amp 2v2 and 4v4.

Theres definatly room in this market for an impact wrench to have a torque potential coil, meaning, on initial start up a real heavy break turn, before getting into the regular 450Nm cyclic.

That's where the dedicated impact wrench really shines. Throw in some wobble extensions and the world is yours. Unless you are working on BIG toys, the compacts like you got are the bees knees.
