This is going to be a "Con" post... Not a "Pro" post... Sorry :S
Now, for the majority of my time within a theatre, I play an electrician.
What this means, is that Impact Drivers live at the Carpentry Shop (seperate building) and anything likely to be found backstage are cheaper Black & Decker "Do what you need, at a decent price point" drills...
Thus, my major complaint isn't with Impact Drivers, it's with people that use them to put something together that must later be disassembled by someone else (say, an electrician opening up a light box)... Only the screws were put in in a location that is unreachable with a standard (large body) drill...
Yes the instances are rare... But if you're ever in the shop building something, and you find yourself unable to fit a drill in there, and start to reach for your impact driver... Think twice... Please?
