Got the uppers painted and installed.
Time to find some MDF for the face frame, drawer fronts, and shelves. Which reminds me, I need a router bit for the integrated drawer pulls she wants.

Do impact screwdrivers give comparable torque to battery drills before activating the impact function? I'd imagine having the tool work in impact mode wouldn't be good for drilling wood or metal.
For driving fasteners impacts are better. For drilling drills are better. Impacts can drive fasteners that would stall a drill, but drilling metal with an impact would make a dog's dinner of the bit and piece.
edit: the impact engages at a mid-low torque. That is the point. They drive with the impacts, not direct drive. The ryobi will start impacting about a quarter though a 2" deck screw.
