Interesting! Looks like the 'pro' version would be better... for 20 bucks more you go from 30 ft/lb to 400 capacity, impact driver compatible, lifetime warranty..

I can see it for bolts/nuts, but phillips screws would be a killer to get enough down force to keep bit seated on deck screws!

Thanks, Chryco!

Really slick.  After watching the company promo, a second YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZjqpQPYOos) came up.   The reviewer found that running an impact gun through the tool didn't work so well in terms of breaking a frozen exhaust manifold fastener loose, but once the fastener was loose it worked well to run it the rest of the way off.   Also, the reviewer realized a little late that running an impact (or ratchet) rotating counter-clockwise on the same side of the tool as the socket would cause the rotation at the socket to be clockwise, so he ended up tightening rather than loosening the fastener.

Overall, it looks like a tool worth having.

The magnetic insert is a great add.   As wonderful as it to have the extended reach to get things out, there's that nasty detail about having to get it back in.

interesting tool. I think I would forget to use it though. So used to doing things the old ways?

Oh man I wouldn't forget. Ha, ha, I find lots of time to remember stuff when I am doing those ugly, close quarters jobs.
