High-Speed Video Uncovers Weird Stuff In Popular Impact Driver (See Comments)

READ 1st: Appears as though this may be a "not a bug, it's a feature" deal? Overseas Hikoki advertises Power mode (P) as hitting 1.5 times a rotation, so this may be by design? We contacted HPT 5 days ago and they ultimately said they'd need to check with their Japanese engineers to speak to this. So I'm guessing it's not just new stuff to us. We tried to do our due diligence. Seems to be losing some that energy hitting the top of the next dog, but DOES sometimes skip it. Who woulda thunk. We don't see this advertised in the HPT manuals that came with these so you'll have to excuse us for that, we don't usually read international brand manuals before using a tool purchased here. What do you think? We could always take this video down if misleading.

Today we dive into (literally) the Metabo HPT WH36DBQ4 36V Triple hammer as well as the 18V WH18DBDL2 impact drivers. There's a lot of mysticism when it comes to these tools regarding their unique design, but we haven't seen anyone dive into them to try and learn more. We get more than we bargained for today with oddities that only high-speed footage would resolve. This is by no means a "hit piece" we like the tool, but it's something people buying one should probably know about it if true.
