This review is from: Bare-Tool Denali 565117 18-Volt Cordless Impact Driver (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have used a lot of impact drivers. I own a 18 volt Milwaukee, Makita, DeWalt and several craftsman 19.2 & 14.4 volt. They are all good. The first time I used the Denali I was trying to remove a couple of screws. I forgot to shift it into reverse and it destroyed the Bosch screwdriver bit, the end just exploded. I didn't realize what had happened so I just put another bit in it and it sheared the end off in about 1/2 second. This thing has some power! It drives screws great and it costs very little. It has a L.E.D. light on the base that can be turned on and off with a seperate switch. This is a nice feature. The battery also has some cool features but that is another review. I don't know how long it will last, I have only had it for a couple of days but it works great! I will amend this review if it develops any problems.

I was so impressed with this tool after using it I ordered 2 more to have as a spares.

Last week I used this impact driver to install drywall in a couple of 8' long closets. The built in light is very nice and since it shines up at an angle it gives you a good view of the screw making it easy to see how far it is being countersunk into the drywall. Also the rotating battery mount has come in handy in a couple of tight spots allowing access that would not have been possible with a conventional battery mounting system. I have used it to drive several hundred screws and all is well so far!

I purchased this tool in October and finally used it recently. I was attaching a halfwall stud to a beam in the basement. The driver drove 2 inch wood screws very efficiently. I was working in confined spaces, near ductwork, and the reversible battery came in handy. For the low price I wasn't sure how it would come through, but it did very well. I recommend it.

I've purchased this tool in January 2008 and used it side-by-side with a similar Ryobi impact cordless driver (borrowed from my contractor working in my house) that retails $20 to $30 more, plus battery. My impression is that it has even more power than the Ryobi but it is definitively heavier with its bulky battery. Fortunately the battery in the Denali can be rotated and this is a very convenient feature, albeit you can't get the white LED to shine on your screw if you turn the battery around. I'm not a contractor, so I don't use this every day but it seems like it's a good value for the money for personal usage.
