Rockwell RK2800K Cordless Impact Driver

[Jwrightkustomz]

Just picked this up from Sears for $149.99 Rockwell RK2800K

Anyone ever used one? I just got a new job installing lightbars, laptops, inverters and the like for municipalities here in Utah, and my air tools were too cumbersome to be used all the time and in some tight quarters. I know that everyone swears by the Makita, but I just liked this one for some reason. Haven't tried it out yet, but I like the feel. I am disappointed that it only came with 1 battery. It does however have a lifetime guarantee on the battery. If the battery ever fails in the life of the tool they will replace it at no charge. I searched but couldn't find any reviews or info here or anywhere else for that matter. If anyone has any experience I would like to hear. Thanks GJ!

I interested to hear how this tool will perform in a pro environment. I wouldn't be to worried about the battery gaurantee as li ion batteries have a much much longer lifespan.

Do you by chance see anything about the torque rating. I'm looking at the link you sent and honestly it kind of looks like the Makita with a different shell. The forward/reverse looks same/similar same with the chuck,trigger, and where battery connects to tool. Also the battery charger is 30 min just like the Makita. I'm not saying its the same thing and i realize alot of impact drivers might have similar looking components but you never know especially with all the rebadging toolmakers(and everyone else for that matter) do nowadays

Maybe not the chuck and bat port now I look at it a bitmore
