Does it have more power than the newest snap on cordless 3/8 impact?

No, slightly less...by about 10 ft.lb. BUT- SnapOn uses NiCad 14.4v and total cost is 3x more. Dewalt uses a 20v Li-on battery and would last longer. I bought the bare tool & have 4 batts to interchange with my DW impact driver & DW hammer drill. The 3/8" is a good tool for bench work and some smaller auto tasks. Get a 1/2" for the big stuff. Can't go wrong with Dewalt. I'd never buy a NiCad or NiMh battery tool again, these batteries don't have a shelf life and have memory recharge issues.

No the Snap On has more power but the Dewalt is less than 1/4 of the cost. I'm glad I bought the Dewalt

It's power. The 1 1/8" drill draws 1/2 amps more and delivers 0.2 ft. lbs. more impact energy. The Bosch website has detailed specs.

I never owned the 18V B&D; Hedge Trimmer, so I can't comment on the power level except to say that my 40 Volt model is quite powerful and makes short work of all my landscaping chores including 1/2"-3/4" diameter branches on my burning bushes. The run time is phenomenal as well. There is no doubt you'd be using at least 2-3 18 Volt batteries over the same time frame as 1 40 Volt Lithium. The cordless feature makes it a great purchase.

I am not sure if it is more powerful. I have a 20v brushless hammer drill also and I interchange the batteries. Both are very powerful and really amazing drills. I have not used an 18v so I cannot compare the two types. The DCD780B is a great drill, I highly recommend it.

Both are good, it just depends on what your socket sizes are. I own the 3/8 with a 3/8 impact set and it's quite powerful on it's own. The 3/8 is all around a versatile tool that will get most, if not all, of your tasks done.

New models with slightly less power. There both in the website catalogue - for now. You can compare specs. The new model has the advantage of having fresher batteries.

It has the most power of any screwdriver I've used by a long shot but not as much as a cordless drill. That being said if your projects include driving screws into harder materials without drilled pilot holes you will consume battery quickly and probably not be happy (I.e. screwing into 2x4s w/o pilot holes the majority of time).

I don't know about the previous model .... this package has worked very well. With one regular and one large battery, there is plenty of power for long jobs. I was surprised at the power (and duaration) of the saw. I highly recommend.

The tools work better because of higher amperage and, yes, the charge lasts much longer. I highly recommend it!

As I have developed more experience with the Dewalt tools, I have also noted short charging times. The 3A batteries really perform and are much preferred to the 1.5A in my drill/driver and impact driver.

Yes lots of power. Be sure to get the corded one if possible. I bought the rechargeable first and it has no where near the power.

the impact driver definitely creates more power for almost everything. I would only get the standard drill if I was doing light detailed work only

The newer model is lighter and the battery life longer. The tool itself is smaller and the battery too. If your good with the price and desire something with long life running multiple deck screws then this works well. Of course your 12V is already paid for...but is it tired?

I found that the cordless GreenWorks blower I order wasn't as powerful on high as my old corded one on low, I returned it.

I would not buy the cordless version. MUCH less power than corded. I would have returned mine but I took too long to try it for the first time! =(

No difference that I can see...Impact Driver takes all the effort of sinking screws into wood and the drill is basically a drill with variable torque settings. Each tool comes with a LiIon battery. The touch light is just a Cree LED light that accepts the LI battery pack. Does not come with its own battery.

Not sure but I use mine with my cordless impact driver and it's awesome. Love it!
