What 1/4" impact/drill do you use

This is the one I bought, LOVE it. I went into HD looking for a cheaper brand, they were out of it, the manager offered to meet me 1/2 way between the cheapy and the Makita price wise.

It has since turned into one of my go-to tools. My buddy used it a few times, went and bought the same one, he loves it as well. Keith

I also have the 12v Craftsman Nextec impact. It's handled everything I've thrown at it, but it's mostly been light work (drywall, some framing, etc). I'm pretty happy with it and I even bought it used. Small, fairly lightweight. I really can't complain.

Bosch 12v impact is awesome, IMO. Not quite as much power as the Milwaukee but it is lighter and more compact.

Depending on how much continued use/abuse you will give it they are both good choices. But I would have to say the Milwaukee might be built more solid.

I have had my Bosch for...2 or 3 years and I wouldn't trade it for the Milwaukee.

I use the Bosch as well. Tough little drill. Will drive a screw in oak. No lube...lol

I've been holding out for the new brushless 12v Bosch PS22-02.

The brushless Bosch is very very nice.... only 719 gram weight and 135mm long...capacity in steel 10mm and 30mm in wood, drives 8mm screws into wood if necessary....
