Years ago I bought a drill and impact cordless set, I needed a new drill and it was cheaper with batteries to get the combo. I never thought I would use the impact for much. After having it and driving 6" screws into gluelams I don't know how I put homes together without one!!! I hear ya Joe, cordless drill have come a long way. Building decks I rarely use any corded tools, except for chop saw and circular saw. Have 4batteries on job and only have to change once in a full day of driving deck screws into decking, three screws at each joist only pre drilling end pieces. That is also one of my favorites. Have this one in shop and I think I'm going from December on last charge. Use it to change collets
