You mean this type of chuck ( 1/4" Chuck ) :

But the risk , when the drill bit stuck during drilling a steel , impact action will make the drill bit break into two parts because the impact driver will start hammer if got somethings stuck. I think it will create wave or vibration because you already add a big things on the impact driver and it may create more wave or vibration during high speed

Ya, for DIYer. Price ( Cheap ) and durablity ( Last Longer ) is more important.

If you need to drive screws alot, impact driver is the more proper tool. Impact driver also can drill into wood, steel and plastic too, with proper drill bits. So,  try the impact driver first.

how's the signal quality ? won't it drop since need to pass through the roof tiles ?

i pity your wrist using the screwdriver...

Yes, ratchet driver is for small place and limited spaces, where we cannot use longer screwdriver.

Actually, I also have a ratchet screwdriver, but the handle diameter is smaller than the screwdriver in the video. I tried that also, and did not give a better result. 

The problem with handtools is to keep the screwdriver at the screw's slot firmly, especially when we want to give extra torque/twist. It tend to move and slips, which may damaging the screw's head or the screwdriver's tip. The cheap screwdriver's tip is easier to be damaged and useless in no time.

I found this comparison video, Makita TD0100 vs TD090DW, corded 100Nm vs cordless 90Nm. A newer cordless brushless impact driver, BTD14x series are more powerful, 140-165Nm, but, ...  expensive and, you are very lucky if you found one in Malaysia.

That is why torque adjustable is a must for me. Once run till the torque that is set, it will stop turn. Even no problem in fast mode.

too bad dont have high-speed cam to record the drilling in slo-mo so can "see" the difference

Again, why more torque, just for screw driving?

anybody got kang tao for

TD090DWE 10.8V Cordless Impact Drvier

or

GDR 10,8-LI Pro

i mean by can get the best pricing...

Why you want the cordless? If the garden is big, it will take sometime to cut which the battery hope can last. Unless you get a spare battery which is not cheap. And cord type motor is more powerfull.

i began to like alot my impact driver. ease of used. the makita 10.8 batts look similar to bosch 10.8, any one can verify the are the same? also how much is the cost. bosch units is around 100-110

can i use impact driver to loosen tight rusted screw? I tried spraying some penetrating oil and hammered the screws but it just won't work

Thre are several ways to remove stucked screws. If the screw head already snapped, we use small diameter drill bit, to drill out the remaining. At least this method is what I being taught in Form '3-5' Seni Perusahaan subject, which was my favorite subject.
