How compact is it?
It is 5 inches long, which makes it easier to use in cabinets, above ceilings, and other tight working areas.
Is this strong enough for trade use?
Yes. With up to 1,500 in-lbs of torque and 4 drive modes, it is built for regular fastening tasks in service and install work.
Why would I choose this over an M18 impact driver?
