AI Review Summary:
Across major retailers, buyers praise the SURGE’s quiet operation and low vibration, noting reduced fatigue during long fastening tasks. Many highlight the compact size for cabinet work and overhead installs, and consistent drive in self‑tapping screw mode. Positive remarks also call out battery life and smooth, controlled driving compared with hammer‑style impacts. Neutral feedback mentions that peak torque feels lower than some standard 12V impacts but is adequate for most screws and small lags. A minority report that the hydraulic mechanism can feel slower on heavy structural fasteners and that the tool‑only versions require separate charger purchase. Representative quotes: “Night-and-day quieter—no ringing ears after a day of decking,” “Perfect size for tight spaces—tons of control,” and “Great for sheet metal; not my choice for big lag bolts.”
