Pros: Dewalt battery
Cons: Worst chuck on earth
Comments:
Has 3mm runout on 4" dewalt bit while applying pressure. It's a hula hoop driver.
Can't drive any delicate fasteners because the bit hops out of the head and runs across your work.

"Don't buy" Submitted on December 16th, 2007
Pros: dewalt
Cons: quick connect receiver crooked
Comments:
Tested 4 of these units and found a manufacturer defect, returned them all. Where I work we have the older model of impacts and not one issue. We had great hopes with this new model yet once you put a nut driver in you will see that the quick connect receiver is crooked or has a flaw. Swapped back and forth between new and old models and it wasn't the nut driver but the receiver itself. Hope Dewalt adresses this issue cause I will only buy dewalt. Anyone else notice this? Can't even use the chuck adaptor to drill holes..CROOKED
Note to review by ToolBarn.com Staff: I inspected our display model of this tool, and the quick connect is in alignment. That said most impacts do hold bits more loosely than a standard drill would. As they orbit there is often a noticable wobble in the bit when no pressure is being applied.
