How many joiners do you see these days using a stanley yankee pump screwdriver?

Not many im sure

I was well chuffed when i got my first Stanley Yankee 131B

it was at the time the dogs knacks

you got to move with the times though and i must say that when battery power dies the old tools have a lot to answer for.

a decent 18v drill driver is the most used tool along with my impact driver, you can go on all day on powertools. sds,planner, impact driver, cordless drill drivers, skill saw 7 1/4 and 9" depending on the work you do, 1/4 router, 1st fix and 2nd fix guns, chop saw, jig saw etc etc a carpenter has the most expensive toolkit

Those impact drivers are getting more press these days

How more beneficial are they over a standard heavy duty cordless drill?

personally i cant live with out one anymore and mines only a ryobi oneplus. my drill driver is hitachi lith-ion 18v combi. And i only use the ryobi impact driver now for driving screws its just so quick especially if you have to screw flooring down like we do on alot of the jobs we do as appossed to using the first fix gun.
