I'll look at HF for a deal on one. |
This, below, is my opinion and and thought train so please don't take offense
My main reason for a 1/2" drive is that even a 7/16" drill bit will not fit in a 3/8" drill chuck - and I often use drill bits larger then 3/8". Reduced shank drill bits - not all sizes are easily found plus quite expensive
A 3/8" impact limits you to a reduced torque, especially breakaway and forces you into using adapters for the much stronger 1/2" drive sockets.
