    I have Makita 18v li/ion 1/4 impact driver and 3/8 impact that look like they're the same tool with different ends. I use the 3/8 all the time for engine disassembly. Works great. However I am going to buy the new IR 20v 3/8 because I have the 1/2 and it's unbelievably strong and I am a tool...
