Thanks for the heads up! We already have one of these sets, and they are absolutely awesome. Stripping is a breeze with the impact, and the driver is compact, with great battery life. I've already asked the men with the pocketbooks if we can get another!

I have two little Hitachi 10.8v impact drivers. They're super light and pretty powerful, but not so powerful that it annihilates old resin crimps. I've been able to find them pretty cheap with a bit of internet searching - one used for $20 with no battery (Amazon) and one new for $45 with two batteries and a charger (Sears). Best setting-tool purchases I've ever made.
Also, where does everyone get their bits? I've ordered some 5/16ths ball detent bits online, but they don't seem to be available at any local hardware stores. Ordering online is fine, but they're sort of expensive and I tend to lose them...

I just pulled the trigger on one of the sets. Super super excited about getting another set of these, I absolutely LOVE the ones we have now.
I spent all weekend building a chicken hutch for 7 chickens, and a bunny house for 2 bunnies with one of these, and it was a dream, although these older batteries on this set were draining faster than I expected them to.
WOOO for POWER TOOLS!
