Description

As noted in https://github.com/dwyl/learn-cad-cam-cnc/issues/47#issuecomment-1006102608 I am considering getting an impact driver for heavier duty wood working jobs where the **`12v`** screw driver we have in the workshop hasn't been enough. It just dies when trying to insert longer screws into lumber; not enough torque. 😞

Thinking of getting the **`DCK266P2T`** set of High-torque Brushless Combi Drill and Impact driver set:
https://www.dewalt.co.uk/product/dck266p2t-gb/18v-xr-brushless-twin-kit-2-x-5ah
It has excellent 9.6/10 reviews online.

This is the price in PT at the _cheapest_ online retailer:

**`£255.95`** (**`€299`** at the time of writing ... 📉 🙄 )

Ouch ...

There is a _cheaper_ version and it's easy to confuse the two because they are _very_ similar:

The cheaper one has **`4.0Ah`** batteries instead of **`5.0Ah`** ... this means lower power and more charging.
