kdbgoat said:I'm kinda stumped as to why folks use an impact or impact setting on a cordless drill when running their stabilizers up and down. I used two different Milwaukee drills in normal mode on three different trailers and had no problems. If your drill won't move the stabilizers in normal drill mode, you either need a better drill or need to lube your stabilizers. It's pretty annoying listening to folks impacting their stabilizers for no real reason. I can't see where the beating of the impact is doing your stabilizers any good either.
Isn't that the 2nd reason that clutches were put on drills? The first, being to prevent stripping the fasteners. Both sound preferable when it comes to stabilizers.Ale_Brewer said:The impact driver isn't for more power. It's for saving your wrist. Also you can have the equivalent power from a small impact driver vs. a larger drill. I carry a tool bag everywhere I go and I have a DeWalt 20V lithium ion impact driver in the bag so it's what I use. The drill stays at home and it only gets used to drill holes. Break your wrist once with a power drill and you'll change your opinion.
