Used to work in the trades, almost never used impact drivers. Always thought they were primarily for heavier workloads like hex nuts/screws. But maybe I've just been missing out
At first blush it does seem stupid to use an impact driver in a wood screw, but they just don't strip or cam out.
They're the same size as drills now.
And putting in metal roofing or walls without hammering the rubber washer on the roofing screw is amazing. You don't even have to think. Set it to torque setting 1 and forget about it.
