Ranked #14 Cordless Impact Driver => Good
Consumer Reports, Volume 72, 2007-12

Consumer Reports testers ranked this as the 14th best cordless impact driver, with an evaluation score that puts it in the "good" range. The power and handling are excellent, the speed is good, the charge time is fair, but the run time and noise level (at the user's ear) are poor. The tool weight is 3.6 pounds, the battery pack has 12 volts, the battery type is NiCd, the battery recharge time is 3-6 hours, and there is one speed range.
