Thread: Impact Driver

I've tried a few brands. Hitachi, Makita, Panasonic, Milwalkee, and I think I will be going back to Hitachi. Best service life of the ones that I have tried. I generally get just over twelve months out of one, but I do drive a lot of screws. The last Hitachi I had lasted 22 months. Good enough for me.

very impressed with my 14.4 v li-ion panasonic impact driver drives allday long into kdhw and outlasted the hitachi another of the crew were using have had for 12 months and batteries seem as good as when i bought them

Is the your AEG drill driver the lithium model?, if it is you can pick up the bare unit impact driver from $200-300 as a bare unit & it comes with a small contrators bag & bits. This model is great it has alot of punch with around 165nm of torque in the blue model & is backed by a 3year warranty. Also available in that range is an 18v planer,recipro saw, 160mm circular saw & jigsaw

you can download a catalogue from the aeg website

Thanks Gents for your replies. I went for the AEG in the end. $249 for the 14.4v . So far so good
