Discuss impact drivers in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

Do the Bosch or Makita stand upright? I've been looking at the 10.8V ranges over the last couple of days, think I'm going to go with the Dewalt, they're a little bigger than the Bosch and Makita, but as they use a battery like larger drills you can stand them upright. Not a major concern, or something that'll influence a decision, but it is sometimes handy to be able to balance them on top of ladders etc.

Understand your logic behind that, but where the drills are so light they barely ever stay upright as they are front heavy. The chippy apprentice on site has the set and honestly it is constantly tipping forward. Cracking set though other than that, but it did cost him over £200.
 
I wouldn't swap my makita
Set for anything. 20mm hole saw just fits in the chuck of the driver and I haven't found anything the impact driver won't drill in. I got the 18v impact too but sometimes it's a bit of a beast
