Just making sure. Plus, I don't have a 1/4" impact wrench as of yet, just an impact driver with a hex to anvil adapter. But I might pick one up eventually.
Looks like a nice set for the money, but agree with you that the case is nowhere near as compact as it really could (and should) be. Otherwise, it's a good deal and I gave it a TU.
As to that wasted space I would figure out how to drop a couple little parts wells there somehow.
Thanks for posting!

Semi-related rant: I would love it if Dewalt/SBD would pick an interlocking case design and stick with it for this type of tool set. 🙄

Also, when someone uses 1/4" sockets, it is USUALLY in cramped place needing small socket heads/handles so doubtful that impact wrench will fit in those tight spaces either.
I wouldn't waste my $$ on 1/4" impact wrench (Unless someone gave one to me). That said, do get 1/4" torque wrench as it is so easy to strip/break the heads on small bolts.

I was just wondering, if I did get one, perhaps as part of a combo kit on sale that I got mostly for the other tools in it, would it require impact sockets, or are regular ones fine, given the lower torque levels of the kinds of fasteners it would remove.
And it's less about whether I'd need an impact tool for 1/4" sockets as obviously hand tools are fine for those, and sometimes the only ones that work due to clearance issues. Rather, it's about not wanting to manually remove or reinstall a lot of fasteners and preferring a power tool to speed things up.
I'm guessing though that the 3/8" stubby I just got will be fine for 80% of the fasteners I work on, with the other 20% either high-torque and calling for a more powerful impact wrench or breaker/cheater, or in tight spots where only a hand tool would work.
