He must have based it on a Crapsman 7.2v oldie, eh? I can run a 3-1/2" #10 deck screw into a stack of PT tubafores with only my thumb and little finger directing the Impactor. Try that with a regular cordless drill. (That's with a new pozi drive bit or a new or used square bit.)
Agreed, wrong tool for the job. Disagree re: torque. My Chicago Pneumatic will run a 1/2" bit clean through 1" steel plate, but you'd better be hanging onto it with both hands when you try. It thinks it's a Hole Hawg. ;)
