Seeing the Bosch Cordless Impact has been out on the market for a little while now, I was hoping to hear some unbiased pros and cons from anyone who have been using them.
Thanks.

I've been using mine (12v) daily for the past 2 weeks it is awesome, though a bit noisy when impactin'.
The awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and the devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man.

'when impactin' Does this mean you can run it without the impact mode ingaged? Or are you refering to it spining before you apply load?
When you set a screw (Piffin or otherwise) it operates like a cool little drill for 1/2- 2/3 the length of the screw(say 1-5/8" dw screw through plywood into fir) then the impact gitzit kicks in and drives it home and beyond(if you are not paying attention).
You can't switch the gitzit on or off you just enjoy the ride. I'd buy another if I was ambidextrious and screw the world.
