What is the torque rating? Most impact drivers are rated in in lbs, anyone know what this is rated at? Thanks!

First, this not an impact driver. It is a light duty screwdriver for use on screws less than 2-1/2" long. I wanted this for Christmas for very light duty work and I think it will be fine. I checked the tool, the box it came in and the owners manual. Hardly any specifications are given. My comments pertain to the B&D; BDCS801 8volt screwdriver.

125 in-lb. I can tell you that it's a very useful tool for light to medium work, and it's small size makes it handy for low clearance work.

125 inch pounds, which is 10.4 foot pounds. The hammer kicks in if the torque need is very high. Once a bolt or screw is loose, it quits hammering and revs up to over 2000 rpm. Sinks long drywall screws in about 2-3 seconds, no sweat. Will even sink 3 inch stair lift lag bolts. Tears down a 32 year old clothes dryer real fast.

I don't know your torque specs, but it is good to 200in/lbs. I used it for primary case on Harley which is a similar application, and I went to 120 in/lbs. Hope this helps.

According to the Dewalt manual up to 150lbs of Torque. The personal using this tool have no Complaints. lite weight and very operator friendly

Drill/Driver Chuck: 3/8". Impact Driver Chuck: 1/4" Quick connect Hex I answered the same question before. Additional Info: Variable speed (0-800 RPM) 1300 IN/LB torque, 20V My view: great product

You can buy bits that are impact ready and imbedded into a 1/4" hex base. Impacts don't know when to stop. If you are not quick to unpull the trigger, you can do some damage using this as a driver for delicate situations. Without specifics, it is hard to be precise. I suppose the best advice is is invest in a set of bits and see how you like this. The bits will be cheaper than another tool.

no it can not be used as an impact driver, the hammer drill has a different motion than an impact driver.

It should be ok being an impact driver. Should work somewhat like a hammer drill.

the impact driver definitely creates more power for almost everything. I would only get the standard drill if I was doing light detailed work only

no impact driver. I have been known to use mine with a drill, as well as my "dremel" rotary tool. I think an impact driver would destroy it, if you could even find a way to attach it.

Yes, I actually use a socket and impact driver with mine. Never had a problem. I'm very happy with them

I use this set with the DEWALT DCF815S2 12-Volt Max 1/4-Inch Impact Driver Kit. This driver kit is really for small impact tools/drivers that accept 1/4" male hex type attachments. I've put the bits to the test and they've held up well. Not sure if I would recommend the set for a beefy impact wrench though. The DW059 I saw on Amazon looks like a 1/2" drive regular impact wrench and this set works on drivers with the internal hex design.

Mine runs my impact just fine. Now it doesn't run it like a nascar pit crew impact. But more than sdequate to take a tire on/off. If you're running a garage or business look at something a bit beefier. But for the occasional back yard mechanic this will be fine

My take is, with the lowest setting, it will hit 120ftlbs in no time. Since this is a twin clutch, I hear the torque limiters don't work with this tool because of the smooth impacts. You will have to test to find out.

An "impact drill" as you call it (actually more properly called an impact driver) is intended to provide huge amounts of torque necessary to insert bolts and screws. It's not meant for drilling, although it will function just fine as a drill--it's simply UNSAFE to use as one. The torque it provides is enough that if your drill bit gets stuck in something, instead of slipping in the chuck, the impact driver will simply shatter the bit. Then you have shrapnel. No bueno.

I do my own computer builds. This is way owerkill. It has a clutch, so you can adjust the power. If you carefull, you'll be OK. For my builds I use ryobi 3.6V, plenty of power for the task. The only thing I don't like about that one is that is one speed, meaning, it does not have button speed control. Bosch does. I don't think impact driver is safe for computer use, period, too much power and vibration, too easy to strip the screws or damage case nuts. My opinion only. Hope this helps.

No, an impact driver is like the drill/driver, but with more torque for driving nut/bolts larger than screws and such.
