Best addition to my toolbox!
This is the most handy addition to my toolbox. No need to carry multiple drills and drivers around anymore. I own both the Black and Decker Matrix and the Craftsman Bolt On drills- This attachment as well as the others seem to be forward and backwards compatible. I was able to mix and match these. This driver seems to just barley underperform my Dewalt brushless impact driver (barley noticeable but the Dewalt does drive lag screws slightly quicker) This setup is 1/2 of the cost of my Dewalt impact driver and does the same thing. I wanted to wait a few months to review this to check quality and I have 0 complaints. I would recommend this add on to anyone who ownes the matrix or bolt on sets.

Cast Iron Build Broke, See image
Cast Iron split in half! Unit is still under B+D's 2 year warranty so I will try to get it replaced. Photo says it all.. Very disappointed that it broke on me however it was a great impact driver when it did work. My 2 year warranty literally ends next month so I had this unit for 23 months before breaking and it sure got plenty of use. I will update my review if it does get replaced under warranty. I had had a previous chuck driver attachment for MATRIX go bad in the past and B+D replaced the unit without issue I hope the same applies here!

and i like it so much that it has stayed on for ...
when i first purchased the matrix system, i was not sure i would ever really need to buy any of the attachments. this impact driver is the latest in my "collection". I needed an impact driver for a single job that i had that almost required it. priced them out at local shops. even the "cheapy tool shop that everybody knows about". then i stumbled across this. i didnt even know this attachment was available. and it was cheaper than getting a whole new tool. well it did the job. and i like it so much that it has stayed on for all my bolt pre-tightening jobs. made things much quicker and easier. there is no torque setting so you will need to go in and torque to spec after, but this gets the bolts "good'n'tight" real quick. one of the most useful attachments i have purchased for my matrix system.

Better than expected - very nice and recommended.
I wasn't sure what to expect on this, could it really function as an Impact Driver? I was skeptical, but the price is good so I took a shot with it. Was doing framing using SPAX framing screws, so got to try this out all day. For speed, the SPAX do not need to be predrilled, which means more effort in driving them in. So, attached this attachment to the cordless Matrix base and got to work. Wow, this thing worked great - and on the first screw it almost drove the screw through the 2x4. Wow, it's working like a real impact driver. I'm completely impressed.Ok, this is not as powerful as the Dewalt dedicated Impact Drivers we use. Those are for job site work, going all day. This Matrix impact driver isn't going to replace those, it's more for the homeowner and it works great. I did use it on the job site for a few days straight, driving countless screws from sunrise to sunset. It performed flawlessly, and I'm fairly happy with the battery life too. I wouldn't pick this for heavy contractor work, but I now have one at the house for general work around home. We've used it many many times and it adds great functionality to the Matrix toolkit bag we have. Seems just about any repair or upgrade at home, I just grab the Matrix bag and it'll handle it. Way way easier than lugging up many bulky dedicated tools. Great idea having this modular set, and this impact driver is a fantastic addition.Ok, that's all positive - why the 4 stars? Power. It works great and had good power. I gave it 4 stars because it's not as powerful as many dedicated impact drivers. It's a great tool, but dedicated units typically have a little more umpf behind them. That's why the 1 star is missing. That said, I love this thing.

Nice addition to my B&D drill!
I had no idea this existed! I knew that my B&D drill had interchangeable attachments, but this small impact driver attachment has proven valuable for light-duty work on a car, on wood siding/carpentry, and other projects. For use in a car, especially, it made speedy work of disassembling quite a few things under the hood in order to prepare for a cylinder head transplant. It is also good for reattaching the wheels to the car--I can spin the lug nuts on firmly enough to hold the wheels snugly before dropping it back to the ground, where I use a torque wrench to firm up the lug nuts per the factory specs. For driving screws into wood, it works way better than the standard drill attachment, due to the impact feature helping to prevent the screw from seizing up in the wood as it turns.It was more useful than I thought it would be. Highly recommended!

Works pretty well
I have the 20v max black and decker drill, bought it because I liked the idea of swappable tips.It has worked for me for a few years now and I figured I would give this a try.I don't believe it has 100ft/lbs like it claims, but it does have more than 35, probably around 50-70 I think. That's what it feels like anyway.Either way it works pretty well for me, it's a little bit on the expensive side at $40 but for an impact driver it does the job pretty well. Tip is easy to swap.

I see the draw of impact driving but...
I've seen multiple reviews of impact drivers and they all say how much easier they make driving fasteners into wood. My first use of this confirmed that - it's really effective! I really like the Matrix line of products and I have a bunch of different ones for my drill base.The only downside to this is that it doesn't have a clutch. So it's really effective of driving your fastener too deep into the material or otherwise just going too far. It really needs a clutch so you can control the power.

Item works as expected, despite the packaging looking like it was returned
The packaging for this item was damaged and it appears to have been a return despite the seller advertising it as new. I'm not going to take off any stars since the damaged packaging and scotch tape used to seal it back up didn't impact the item's quality.Just be aware that you may receive a repackaged or returned item.Other than that, the impact driver works very well.

Uso profesional sin duda
Black & Decker lo ha hecho de nuevo.El aditamento para destornillador de impacto es el complemento perfecto y necesario para el taladro, ya que en trabajos rudos no hay comparación con un un destornillador de impacto.El destornillador permite fácilmente meter tornillos a superficies difíciles como una base para TV, que debe quedar bien sujeta. La potencia y el giro es bueno, se nota la calidad y los acabados del material son muy buenos.Ojo, el taladro por sí mismo no generará la potencia de un destornillador dedicado, pero este detalle solo debería importar a usuarios a nivel industrial. Los que gustan de tener las herramientas necesarias para proyectos pequeños pero profesionales no deberían dudar en adquirir este complemento ya que no solamente permite ahorrar un poco de dinero y espacio al evitar tener que usar muchas herramientas, si no que es practico para transportar.Un de los contras que tengo con este dispositivo y en general con otros del sistema de Matrix de Black & Decker es que no vienen con una funda protectora, y al no usarse, queda expuesto el interior del aparato, con lo que puede acumular polvo en lugares que debería estar lubricado.Fuera de todo lo negativo, es una herramienta muy útil

Buen torque
Hay una notable diferencia cuando solo se usa como el destornillador(taladro) y cuando se usa el destornillador de impacto. El accesorio destornillador de impacto evita que el taladro no de la "patada" evitando así un posible daño o molestia en la muñeca del operario. Lo recomiendo

Definitely *impacted* how I use powertools.
I thought impact drivers were a waste of money if you already have a drill/driver. But boy was I ever wrong. The torque this attachment gives off has completely changed doing anything around the house which requires screws. They just go in effortlessly, regardless of the material. No more need to first drill a whole, clean up the dust, change the drill bit to a driver bit, destroy the drywall anywhere near the intended hole and eventually put a simple screw in the wall just to mount a photo frame.

It's to bad
I can't seem to get the bit out of it it's screwed on me so it's broke already not even 3 months into it broken no good to me without the bit coming out it's too bad it didn't work really really well and I was very impressed with it it's exactly what I wanted just unfortunately it doesn't work without the bit coming out

Bastante bien en apariencia y funcionalidad. Buena calidad
Tiene materiales de buena calidad, funciona muy bien. La relación costo-calidad es buena. La utilidad, es relativa, ya que varias de las cosas para lo que se ocupa, lo podría hacer un taladro sin impacto .Compré el aditamento para probar qué tan ventajoso es.
