2895-10-RT, Skil X-drive combo

My Favorite Tool - A Carpenters’ honest opinion
I’ve owned this Makita impact gun for over three years and still love it. I’m a professional carpenter/handyman and this tool by far is the one I use most. It’s the most comfortable cordless drill I’ve ever handled (and I’ve owned at least seven). It will drive 3 [...]
