Thanks for the help everyone! And thanks for welcoming me to this forum.. I'm sure i will ask more questions. So I think I get the basic idea that both will get the job done. I like my impact because the bits lock right into the place and the wood boring bits are obviously straight too. Now my next question. I have three settings. 1, 2, and 3. Setting 1 is a screw setting so I'm using some common sense here and gunna go ahead and say that 1 is obviously not the right setting for boring holes haha. So what should I go with 2 or 3? Or just feel it out?
