  1. Good write up, but impacts speed to torque is directly correlated, the opposite of a drill. So lower speed on the impact also produces lower torque. The impacts striking mechanism is a retracting spring that creates a tolerance to slip the anvil past the chuck when something of sufficient resistance causes it to stop. The anvil then free of resistance, achieves full speed and a full rotation to strike the chuck with maximum force, determined by the speed the motor is regulating. So faster spin- harder hit, and higher frequency of strikes.

  2. I kept hearing about impact driver someone needs to borrow it. Milwaukee? And that Napa so on? Asked husband ” who invited this tool”? He wasn’t sure all I heard Milwaukee! A few shops leads it out top companies? I did think about it and I wondered if any of the other shops from a time ago, used it? Looked up the history, and I was so impressed!? Easy reading and I? Understood? Great site for a woman to share with others who are women? Much, Mahalo ( thanks) from Honolulu, Hawaii
