Impact Wrenches...

When using my 14.4v DeWalt impact wrench for extended periods of time (15+min of straight use) such as fastening deck boards or subfloor, it starts to get real HOT. It also starts to get that "O-zone" smell. Im assuming that this is pretty normal and I just switch to my regular driver and give the impact a rest. Just wondering if everyone has this experence. I still cant believe there are some guys out there that haven't converted to the world of impact wrenches. P.S. I have been lurking on this forum for over a year now and have learned tons and laughed a bunch. I work alone or with one helper so its nice some nights to come home and see what others in the industry are up to. Cheers!

I'm old and still use air or corded for heavy use. Nothing beats air.

Very true nothing beets air or corded, maybe some day. Maybe some day my compressor wont weigh 75 lbs and I wont trip over a rats nest of orange extension cords!!!
