Customer Reviews:

Great tool ! [Posted on 2007-02-28]
I was very sceptical even after reading glowing reviews. Have gone from sceptic to advocate since using impact. I already owned a Sears Craftsman 14.4V impact and was quite impressed with it but became interested in the ability to adjust the torque on this tool. Let me say that I LOVE this feature. Even though the instruction manual says not to use it on sheet metal, supposedly because the torque might strip screws, I haven't had any problem. I simply set the torque setting to 1 and the impact setting to Soft and the use the "one shot impact" setting and install whatever. I recently installed the electrical cover plate and front base cover to our new dishwasher. Also installed doors and roller freezer compartment on our new LG bottom freezer fridge and had no problem. Also removed and later installed 5 ash cabinet doors and barely stripped one screw which was probably stripped years ago by builder. Shaved 1/2 inch end of a toothpick, stuck it in the hole and zip, drove it home, snug and no strip. Used lowest setting on torque and impact for these small chores and tool made child's play out of it. Also use a magnetic hex extension to hold screws on bit with no hands(Sears sells one with extra strong magnet, it's great). Drove some 1 3/4 inch screws into some new wood and never got over level 3 on the tourque setting. Just experiment a little with the different torque and impact settings,they are push buttons so no collar or lock ring to fiddle with. This tool makes me look for chances to drive a screw. The manual is typically a little squirlley but the tool is just the opposite. It is serious.

I bought the combo kit on Amazon and the drill is great. I really like the ratcheting action on the keyless chuck. There are other reviews on Amazon for the impact alone and for the combo kit. Find them using the search feature. Search for Panasonic impact or Panasonic combo.

My eyes have changed a little over time and I love the led light. You can engage it without engaging the driver motor if you use a light touch. This is great for me.

If you have never used an impact driver, the difference between them and drill/drivers for driving screws and fasteners is like night and day. No more stripped screw heads or bits ! Buy it! Love it!
