That was kind of a waste of time, everything is out of stock unless you want door hardware.

Thanks for the post tommyt. There were some pretty sweet prices.

The 18v 1/2" DeWalt drill is still in stock @ $99

Well it was.. Gone now

I see that the right-angle impact driver is available ($59 instead of $129).

I have a Craftsman right-angle regular driver (not ID), and am not happy with it. It only works well if i can put a heavy hand behind the rotating head, which is not always possible in tight places.

Would an impact driver be different, better? Will it work one-handed?

I am hoping this could work in general too for me - I don't have an ID and want one...

This was the first impact driver I ever owned and I liked it a lot. Plenty of power, didn't have to put a lot of force on the head to keep bits engaged with screws and the charge time of about 20-30 minutes was awsome.

I ended up taking it back for two reasons.

1. Since it was 12 volt, the batteries would only work with other 12 volt tools like the drill, the flashlight, and if I recall correctly a $200-$300 planer. With all the 18volt tools out there that have a ton of other tools that can share the same battery, I felt like I would be better off down the road being able to add more tools without buying batteries and chargers.

With a price tag of $59 this shouldn't be a big deal.


2. The main reason I took it back was because of the paddle trigger. It just didn't work for me when I was trying to use it one handed. There are lots of people who love this tool specifically for this reason, but for me, it DROVE ME CRAZY! lol If it had a regular trigger switch I would have kept it.

Looking back, maybe I could have shortened the paddle, and maybe others have?

Just my 2 cents and for $59 it may be worth buying again!?

IMO for 59 or less I am getting a specialized power tool that uses the same charger as my 18V Ridgid power tools. The kit comes with a Li/Nicad charger and Ridgid bag.
