Hi, I am a mechanical engineering student at the University of Maryland, and am looking for people who use an impact driver on the job to fill out a quick survey. I've pasted the survey here, if you would just respond and delete the choices that would not be your answer that would work well, or send me an email, either would be great. Thanks I'd really appreciate your time!

Halo

You are a student and signed up as an industry proffesional?

I have a little background in research and development. Most of this kind of information if packaged correctly, is capeable of being marketed, for money.

Maybe it would be more inline with the rules of this site and the fact it is a private enterprise, if you purchase some advertising space and solicit proffesional level input.

Not trying to be rude in any way, but this kind of marketing has permeated our entire society. In some cases being very invasive to ones privacy and ultimately being accepted as a benign offense. Off my soapbox...

I own Bosch and Hilti impact drivers and wouldn't buy a dewalt if they were sold for 50 bucks. But the impact driver is the best tool in the trailer. Good for so many things.
