impacted shop practices

[Dean May]

A big problem with the corded VSR (if that is what you are using) that I've
used is you don't have instant stop when you release the trigger. The good
cordless drill gives you instant stop. 

I can see what you are saying with the infinite resets. I'll have to try it.

You can get the sockets with big screwdriver bits at Sears also.

Out wasn't ever a big problem, and I've used my 3/8", or 1/2" 
VSR for that.

"In" is where the problem lies (always being lied to, it 
seems). Using a continuous torque drill motor, any bit I used 
tended to walk out of the slot, since I couldn't maintain 
alignment of the bit with the screw perfectly. The impact 
allows a whole lot of "reseats" per minute between impacts so 
the bit doesn't walk out. I love freebies.
