Impact Driver

I don't bother with impact drivers. Well, I have one, but I rarely use it. They are a First Fix tool and I'm almost exclusively Second Fix. I sort of bought one because it sounded like the thing you should do. A bit like buying an electric plane which, these days I consider to be First Fix not Second. I had one of those too, but sold if after three of four years of absolutely no use, lol.
Funnily enough I've just converted! I didn't use my impact driver for the first 2 years. Literally new in box, I just didn't have a need. I started using that to drive the big masonry screws straight into brickwork, and on the same job I bought an electric planer. I'm (was) a fine carpenter so considered them a brutish tool but, I'm sold! For DIY they're a fast way to get stuff done. I still keep a block plane out for fine adjustments.
