I own the 12V Max Impact driver and have been very happy with it. What differences good/bad would I see with this unit?

Dewalt I'm sure you already know makes wonderful products. The lithium ion is great I use it everyday only have to charge it once every two weeks. Has a 3 led flashlight that's activated by trigger. The 20v have battery life indicator s on the batteries which helps preserve the batteries by knowing exactly when u should charge them.The 20v batteries are also about half the weight of the older long lasting batteries. And my favorite part is the the built in belt clip that makes for easier consistent use. I think you will be pleased. =)

more power, more compact for tight places. Light for dark areas that works automatically. Better control, battery last much longer make sure you get the adaptor kits for all the jobs you would like it to do. I'm a elevator mechanic and have used all the battery operated equipment, I like this one the BEST.

I have used both and the 20 v Max driver just has more power and battery's last longer no cons.

I have not had a bad experience with this tool. It is very durable and does small jobs well, however on bigger jobs it will do kind of but it makes it struggle a bit. Best thing to do is get is a kit with screw bits with Phillips and flathead and also get a 3/8 adaptor to put sockets. I am a mechanic and I use this for dashboard areas on cars and it whips right through the job. The torque is good enough to even take lug nuts off cars so that is about the hardest job for this tool. I hope this helps out.

The newer model is lighter and the battery life longer. The tool itself is smaller and the battery too. If your good with the price and desire something with long life running multiple deck screws then this works well. Of course your 12V is already paid for...but is it tired?

I work at Home Depot and we sell both the 20v and the 12v models. The 20 is substantially more powerful, but unless you're a contractor, chances are you won't encounter anything that the 12v isn't capable of doing. I chose the 20v because I often do projects with treated lumber and I can work longer driving bolts with a 20 than I would be able to with a 12.

I don't have a 10.8V impact driver. all my Bosch tools are 12V, but if other 12V batteries work these will.

The impact driver is a industry std , 1/4 " Quick clip socket. Std impact bits and attachments fit this unit. The drill also has an impact setting on it and a clutch , it is 1/2 "

This drill is an Drill/Hammer Drill combo. It is not an Impact Driver. The operating principles are different. You can use this to remove lug nuts etc... but don't expect it to work well.

In the description, you'll see that one is called a drill and the other is called an impact driver. The drill functions as you probably expect, it is good for drilling holes and you can also use it for driving screws. However, the impact driver is better suited to driving screws than the drill is. One, its torque rating is 4 times the rating of the drill. Two, due to the nature of impact drivers, it does not push back against you when driving a screw. With a drill, if you drive a screw, the drill wants to twist in the opposite direction of the screw. With impact drivers, this tendency is greatly reduced. I recently purchased this set and it is the first impact driver I've used. I really appreciate this aspect of its operation. It is also nice to have both devices so that you don't have to swap bits as much. I frequently drill holes for a screw or bolt. By having both of these, I use the drill to create the hole and then pick up the impact driver to drive in the screw or bolt instead of having to swap out my drill bit for a screw bit or nut driver.

I really don't know. My kit didn't include the advertised drills: the 18V LXT 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill (BHP454) is actually an LXPH03, and the 18V LXT Impact Driver (BTD141) is in fact an LXDT04.But, I'm more than happy with what I received, by the way.Another user said that the advertised combination was being phased out, and that Amazon held stocks of both the old and the new combination.Sorry I can't help more.jjj

I will tell you exactly how much torque it (craftsman bolt on 20v, same tool, diff color and label)makes because I just tested it today, And it is way below the advertised 1300 in lbs. I broke loose one lug nut on my vehicle , I held the trigger until it would turn no more with a fully charged battery. It only made 40 foot pounds which is about 460 inch pounds according to my brand new digital torque wrench. I will say this, the Bosch 12 volt impact I also own made the same Torque. Neither impact would drive it past 40 foot pounds. the 20 volt just did it 3 times faster. I will say this, the speed of the impact attachment when put on the power handle is very serious, more than twice what the drill attachment is. again I am commenting on the craftsmen but its the same tool. The impact will drive 4"x 1/4" lag bolts into a six by six treated post very quick. I actually did a test between the 12 Volt and the 20 Volt just to see the difference and again the 20 v is three times faster. however it's also much larger and not something you want to use when replacing small hardware which is why I opted to get a 12 volt. This however does not have a light which is nice once you get used to having one. Porter-cable makes a nice impact 12/18/20v all very reasonable with an led light.

I'm not sure it's rated for impacts, but I've used it with my DeWalt 20V impact and seemed to do ok. Not usre how long it will last - but its not a lightweight product. I don't' see it failing soon, but only time will tell.

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.

I'm using the impact driver with the M18 XC battery from my drill and have no issues. I don't see why it wouldn't work with the M18 4.0.

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

The first answer is no longer relevant. Amazon's info for this item is out of date. The new specs for the unit are 120 watts, and 280 ft. lbs of torque! This is about 10 amps. I say about since there are losses in the line and plug, and because when the car is running the voltage is higher.The new model is awesome. It takes lugs off of my 4x4 in one or two impacts, so less than 3 seconds. Two impacts on the way back on sets them just a little tight, but not so much that it would cause harm. I wouldn't dare let it hit another time!

No, no impact driver in this set. Search Amazon -black and decker impact driver- to see what is available.

The body of 10.8 is approximately the same size as the 12 volt, it's in the battery area that it is different. The 12 volt has a larger square battery that is not too big but carries a longer charge with a little more torque. I bought mine with a specific purpose and it works absolutely perfect for me. I do sheet metal work on furnaces and duct work where I need to get into tight spaces with enough power and torque for small and medium sheet metal screws. It's smaller handle gives my hand the ability to move around the drill into different positions comfortably and still apply the force needed to drive the screw. The drill seems to stay charged for long periods but when it's done it's done. I used my 1st set steadily for about 3 years until they were stolen from my truck. I replaced them with the same drill. If you feel that you need more torque you may want to go with the 12 volt. I have checked other small drills, and there are some good ones out there but I stayed with Makita a very dependable drill.

What the specs I have are: input 100-240V / 50/60 Hz --- output 12V - 2A / Center pin positive. NOT so sure this will work for you being 12VDC. The Amp rating is max load it can handle, but the output make destroy the hard drive controller. NEED to find one with 5VDC output with 1A or max of 2.5A. Hope this helps.

The drill and the impact drill/driver are two different types of devices (obviously). The impact driver requires a hex ended bit. You can easily find a concrete bit with the hex end (1/4"). However, you will be asking a lot of your 12V machine if you try to drill concrete. I suggest a corded drill or at least an 18V battery drill for that type of work.

On the impact instruction manual it states 50/60hz.But for a more accurate answer you might try Dewalts web site @ www.Dewalt.com or they have a customer service number which is 1-800-433-9258. Hope this is helpful. (I saw the other answer. My impact is not weak! It supply's 345 ft. lbs. of torque and will perform on a number of jobs! I broke torque on a harmonic balance bolt which was torqued @ 400 ft. lbs. This Impact is a hoss! Another thing to consider is voltage. In the U.S.120 volts is the standard outlet. In other country's it vary's. Hope this information is useful to you Karan. K. Wilson
