I love it! SWMBO got me the 6914DWAE 12V impact from Makita. Unfortunately
it wasn't the one that qualified for the freebie, but . .
Daughter wanted some utilitarian coatracks for the utility room. (2) 8'
tubafors, (2) 1/2"x4' dowels, etc.
Used the new driver to mount them on the wall. WOW! 4" combo drive screws
with square bit. After about the first 1/2", it started "hammering", but no
massive torque forces returned to the wrist, just keep driving. I'm sure
this thing could have driven the screws right on through the 2x and buried
them in the wall.

Those on the cutting edge bleed a lot.
I got the 14.4V version last year. Since there is no clutch on these
things, unless the wood is very soft, the next sound you hear is the
head of the screw snapping off. DAMHIKT
Still need to warm up the 5007FAK circular saw that I got recently.

I didn't get any tools - I prefer choosing my own anyway, that way
I get something I'll actually make use of.
But, did get a coffee cup, that had a picturre that was colored by
the grand-dau and copied on the cup. I like that.

People without "things" are just intelligent animals.

What kind of screws are you using? I just got the 12 volt version and drove
a #10, 3" long, deep enough into a 3" thick piece of maple to split the
piece when the head went below the surface. No predrilling.

You're just an old softy! Congratulations, grandpa. That's worth more than
any tool I can think of.

He must be using smaller screws. Mine were #10 or #12x4", and as I said, I'm
sure it would have driven them just as far as I wanted it to.
