i have two of these 12v impact drivers that we use for metal stud framing. they are very lightweight and compact and have more than ample power for fastening 20ga and 18ga framing members. the batteries last for hours of fairly constant use and they charge quickly. we use these impacts with a 5/16 driver to fasten tek-5 screws into steel members up to 3/8" thick. i've had the same two for over 2 years and have used them and abused them for hundreds of hours of usage. they've been dropped countless times off of scaffold onto concrete and never miss a beat. i am very impressed with hitachi and these 12v impacts get used a lot more than my heavier 18v drills.

This is the second set of these I've purchased for my business. The first generation units were still running with >>no<< problems. I just decided to update them. The old units would receive almost daily use and not all of it easy. The impact fuction really cranks away on stuborn jobs. These light weight cordless drills are my favorite choice. Sure they aren't lith-ion, or 18v, but for the price and size they are a little demon! No bulky 18v nonsence or empty wallet on these, just price performance that puts more money in your wallet faster on the job.

Truly my favorite cordless I've ever owned,...and as a contractor I've owned many!
