I've broken enough drill bits with electric drills Gadge but if the rattle gun gets it done it saves spending $150 on
a decent electric drill.


Impact guns and impact drills are not made for drilling holes .An impact wrench has an electric or air motor that applies a sudden, intense twisting motion to the nut or bolt, usually in short bursts (every few seconds or so). The continuous short, strong bursts of force trying to twist on the fastener are what eventually bring some movement.

What do you use an impact drill for?
Impact drivers are designed for efficiently driving long deck screws or carriage bolts into wooden posts, fastening concrete screw anchors into block walls and driving screws into metal studs. It isn't intended for drilling, though it can be useful when using a spade bit.

Hammer drills work in a different way again.
Hammer drills have a cam-action or percussion hammering mechanism, in which two sets of toothed gears mechanically interact with each other to hammer while rotating the drill bit. ... For this reason, a hammer drill drills much faster than a regular drill through concrete or brick.

Air ratchets are not impact tools and don't require impact sockets.
Air ratchets are useful for loosening/tightening multitudes of low-to-medium torque bolts. You don't want to use an impact wrench here because it can easily over-torque the bolts and cause damage to the threads or snap off the bolt heads or studs.
