I also like that point about the impact not having the wrist snapping effect.. another plus.

I'm just drilling holes through floor joists and through walls to pass electrical wire.

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?

I have both of the above named drills. With my 1/4 impacting drill the irwin speedbor drill bits fit right in and lock in. My 1/2 drill I have to close the chuck and the shank but looks alright. My question is my 1/4 drill really powerful enough to run these wood boring bits that go all the way up to 1 - 1/4in hole sizes without being to hard on it? Or should i just use my 1/2 drill? As you can see im very new with power tools. Thanks for your help!

I just checked those out and those look great! Plus they have a half inch shank so that would work perfectly for my drill. I guess I could always get multiple setups. The impact is nice because it's smaller and more compact and can fit in more places. The drill with a daredevil auger must do some work in a hurry.
