Comparison of Makita and Panasonic Impact Wrenches. I prefer the ball retention and brushless motor on the Panasonic, but the Makita can recharge in 22min. Makita have over 30 tools that use these batteries. Using regular Chrome Vanadium sockets with impact wrenches could shatter them, use the black ones. You can get accessories for these tools like the De Walt QZ 1/2″ square to 1/4″ hex adaptor eliminating the need to purchase an impact driver. You can also get drill chucks with a 1/2″ square hole in the back. www.cowanchuck.com www.locatorsandsupplies.com
