Tengo ya 4 años con este equipo, continua trabajando exementemente. el balance entre peso y potencia es exelente. PReacticamente para todas las reparaciones de hogra y automotricez expto las llantas.
Tal vez lo que le agregaria para mejorarlo seria Luz en su cavezal ( ya le agrege una en la base por facilidad ) y el otro agregado seria un mejor control a bajas reboluciones para el atornillado con precision.

Small but powerful!

This is the best of both worlds. A small light, extremely portable impact gun but with all the power. The 1/2" drive allows for heavy duty work. I use this mainly for automotive work and it will remove wheel lugs by itself which speeds things up tremendously. Despite the 12 volt battery size the Dewalt maintains its 75% of its power throughout its battery life which can be up to 5-6 hours when working consistently. Highly recommended if you don't want the bother of a compressor system.

I'll save the fifth star for later...

Having used many different brands of cordless drill/drivers over the past 15 years, I was curious about this new wave of impact drivers. I had the chance to use this DeWalt driver (a friend's) and I can report that I was extremely impressed with it. In all fairness, this isn't a comparison since I have never used any of the competitor's impact drivers, but the DeWalt was more than I thought it would be.
br /
br /Power - there's all you would ever want here. I was driving 3" screws into treated lumber and quickly noticed two things. The driver didn't hesitate while driving the screws home and compared to my standard drill/driver I had to apply much less pressure on the rear of the gun to keep the bit from slipping on the screw head.
br /
br /Size/Weight - You don't notice how much a good drill/driver weighs until you use something like this that is more powerful and yet weighs less. Though the size is tiny compared to what I am used to, it doesn't feel unnaturally so.
br /
br /Value - though this is probably the best tool I have ever used to drive a screw, it is expensive so the vaulue per dollar isn't what it could be. If I were starting from scratch on a collection of tools, I would think seriously about this one. As it is, I already have two DeWalt drill/drivers and will probably not justify replacing them at this cost.
br /
br /Overall, this is a great tool that I feel justifies the impact driver craze that is currently going on. If you build decks for a living, run to buy one of these. If you are a weekend warrior, get more bang for your buck by getting a good deal on a 12-14.4 volt drill/driver instead...
