It's not an impact driver,
but,
I have the older, (pistol) version of this,
as a standalone, lightweight system.Alternative 18V system: Have you considered the Erbauer, (Screwfix own brand) or Einhell, (Toolstation own brand) options?

Einhell I’ve used a friend’s mitre saw and it was absolutely useless, I have a bench grinder from them which is barely acceptable. Considering it doesn’t seem much cheaper than the big brands here (Switzerland) I haven’t really considered it. I’d rather spend a bit more money on something I know will last and I will be able to expand on.
I'm currently a happy owner of a Bosch PSR 1800 (DIY drill driver) as well as a few other PowerforAll tools. I'm going to need an impact driver as I'm starting a shed build soon but Bosch don't really do a DIY level impact driver anymore. I don't think I need anything much over 100Nm as I'll just be driving small screws into studs etc. Anything bigger would get pre-drilled anyway. I'm thinking of a Bosch Pro / Makita 12V driver, as I have cyclist arms and the thought of wielding an 18V tool with a 5Ah battery over my head is tiring. Will I regret going for the smaller tool? Would be happy to dive into a better 18V platform than Bosch DIY as I suspect I'll be 'needing' a circular saw, grinder and a multitool soon.
