AI summary of 4 reviews · as of Jul 2026
Reviewers broadly agree the FX1371 delivers strong torque and a genuinely useful quick-eject collet, with weight being the most consistent caveat.
Where reviewers disagree: One reviewer treated the tool primarily as a vehicle for testing battery chemistry differences rather than evaluating the tool itself, making direct performance comparisons with other channels harder to draw; Reviewers differ slightly on how much the weight penalty matters in practice — Shop Tool Reviews treats it as a minor note, while 4thewin flags it as a real all-day concern
Mixed reviewsWhat they praise
- Quick-eject collet allows one-handed bit changes without shifting grip, praised across all four reviews as a standout ergonomic feature
- High torque output for a quarter-inch impact driver, with benchmark testing placing it at or near the top of its class
- Sensor-free brushless motor design increases durability by reducing wiring points of failure and allows a more compact motor housing
- Three speed modes plus two self-tapping modes give meaningful control across a range of fastening tasks
- Compact head length aids access in tight spaces despite the tool's overall weight
What they knock
- Heavier than average for its class, especially with larger battery packs, which becomes fatiguing on extended overhead or all-day use
- Width at the head can affect line-of-sight when driving in confined areas, noted by Pro Tool Reviews
- The performance ceiling is battery-dependent — reviewers found meaningful differences between cylindrical-cell and stacked-lithium packs, meaning full capability requires specific battery pairing
