Editor's Review: Yes, You Need a Cordless Impact Driver

by Michael Maines review date: July 1, 2008

This is my favorite driver. Not overweight or underpowered, the Panasonic is the most wellrounded, well-equipped driver of the bunch. It performed flawlessly in every aspect of home construction, from the mudsill to the ridge, from rough construction to finish carpentry.
