I'm a bit puzzled about the M12 Impact and Installation Driver. They seem to serve similar purposes, but is there a reason to choose one over the other? Can someone explain the distinct features of each tool?

The Installation Driver isn't actually an impact tool; it doesn't drive screws quite as deep or fast as an impact driver. Its multi-head attachments make it perfect for tight spots, while the impact driver packs a punch for tougher jobs. Interestingly, in the EU, the installation driver can also function as an impact tool, which is a nice blend of both features!

I got the EU version of the installation driver and it doesn't have the impact feature. It's got a hammer mode for drilling, but I was hoping for something more powerful.
