In recent years lightweight impact drivers have become popular, and people say they are better. These are not impact wrenches: they are nowhere near strong enough. Instead they are meant for driving ordinary screws, they just do it by a combination of spinning in the ordinary way when the going is easy, and hammering once resistance builds up. I have not used them much, so I can’t say if this is as good an idea as some claim.
