I don't have that model but I have an impact driver (makita) and I can't believe I went as long as I did without one. Depends how much time you spend screwing things. If its just for the odd job here and there a drill driver will do the job. For any kind of construction though for that price it would be daft not to

Impact drivers let you drive things with far more power and less strain on your wrists.

That's a very good tool at a very good price.

I know you've got the drill already but do you have 2 battery packs? I only ask because it's very useful to be able to pilot and screw without changing bits and batteries.

Do I need an impact driver? If so thoughts?

I have the exact same machine, an impressive well built piece of kit.
I bought it due to putting up my own built in wardrobes. The boards I'm using are MFC, the impact driver ripped every screw I tried in, luckily test pieces. These where pocket screws and confirmat. You don't get the feel. I finished off using my trusty old drill driver with a torque setting. The only screws I used it on was for the wall battens, easy drive concrete screws And even then lost a couple.

Note, could be varying degrees of operator error
