The impact puts out a lot more torque than the drill does it in pulses (impacts) which are good for breaking nuts/bolts loose. Comes in handy for stuff like lug nuts, tie rod bolts, etc.

Nothing like trail-side repairs.
Our guys in the shop have gone to using battery powered tools a lot. They still have their air ratchets and impacts, mainstays in body shops since forever, but they stay in the tool box. They use mainly use either Snap-On or Matco Or Mac Tools but still battery powered. A re-chargeable 1/4" ratchet, a 3/8" impact, and a 1/2" impact and you're set.

I was really surprised at how strong the impact was! I drove a nut down and put my torque wrench on it and it was at 60LBS and I didn't even hit it that hard. Someone needs to tighten something down full power and test the torque I'm curious now.
