I saw the Snap-On 1/4 cordless impact mentioned in an article and it made me realize that I should really consider purchasing a small cordless impact tool of some kind. It would certainly make removing and reinstalling small bolts a heck lot quicker.
For $209, the Snap-On tool is a lot cheaper than I thought it'd be. However, it does use the older Ni-cad battery technology. For not much more ($329 total), I can get the new Makita LXT239HD kit that is mentioned here:

What do you guys think? I do also need a drill, so the Makita kit is more tempting. As a side question, I have never owned a drill before (always borrowed) so I am curious what is the advantage of a hammer driver-drill vs an old-fashioned drill?
Thanks.
