    By softer we don't mean put your nail through it but something harder tends to be more brittle, with the impact energy going through a harder more brittle material it will cause failure, something designed to absorb the energy and transfer it into the fastener is much more beneficial, best example is your impact sockets verse your traditional chrome sockets, polished chrome is hard yet very brittle which is why on impacts you'll see either the socket crack or the chrome finish chip off, and impact sockets material is RELATIVELY softer than a traditional socket much like impact driver bits

    I'm still not sure that impact rated driver bits make all the difference anyway. I'm still using old dewalt bits from before the days of impact drivers and they very rarely shatter. 

     

    I can understand it with society but again, bar a thin wall socket I've had split I've never had a chrome vanadium socket break on an impact wrench. 

     

    Wouldn't surprise me if some brands are a gimmick but with other brands you do notice a slight difference in performance rather durability, something "impacted" rated is generally softer and allows for minor torsion in the bit it self, take the Wiha Terminators for instance are actually a two piece bit which if you grab both ends you can twist it yourself, this allows the bit to absorb the impact blow better, now I have a bunch of Tekton bits that are not impact rated, first use of it I make myself a little prison shiv, they can't absorb the energy like softer bits do

    Thanks. Oak isn't my favorite but it turned out nice.


    Thanks. I used a card scraper to get the edge banding down to the plywood. Then sanded it. I hadn't messed with the plane yet at that point so didn't feel comfortable trying it that way. Card scraper worked really well.

    Oak is classic though, a little cliche but its such a beautiful grain IMO

    You know the makita x2 rotary smokes the 2715 and the makita is only rated at 3 joules on paper. Milwaukee always blow the ratings out on paper out. Another example is the new fuel metal circ saw, the box states fastest on the market, however the makita bl metal can cut quicker. I reckon the dch293 will easily outperform the 2715. Biggest problem with the 2715 it gets hot very quickly and the batteries go into thermal overload, even the 9.0's 

    Makita always modestly rates their tools yet still kicks everyones arse, look at the td 170, less torque than pretty much every top end impact yet it dances circles around them all, well except the triple hammer hitachi
