Seriously tho - love the Ryobi product line but haven't used impact drivers. Are they a lot better than reg ones? If so, any reason not to use an impact version?
I see bits rated for impact but can I still mostly use non-impact rated bits with a low chance of breaking them?
Thanks in advance!!
Does anyone know how well the new compact one compares to this one?
I actually got mine (this model) soaked- it still works, mind you; it wouldn't turn on after it got wet, water dripping from within, but it worked after it dried. There were moments when it would completely lose contact with the battery and not turn on for a while, but it works like before now. However, I'm thinking there's bound to be rust within the unit, which would add resistance to the electrical wiring and overheat the unit faster, so I'm wondering if I should buy another one of these or go for the newer model.
Any thoughts?

In a Drill you're countering the rotation of the drill and if it get's stuck it tries to spin the drill aka your hand. In an impact driver small weights are smashing into driver to turn it and there's no direct force, thus when the bolt you're screwing in get's stuck it's just really loud but doesn't cause the driver to turn in your hand.
I can easily one-handed in an odd-angle an impact driver since there's no rotation force to counter, but I can't do so with a drill. I've basically only use an impact for everything except when I need to control an exact amount of torque and use the torque ring on a drill.
