I wouldn't try leaving them out on purpose but they do seem to hold up well if they get wet. I have also dropped an impact drill in a mud puddle (not the same one) and it still works. Left a cordless circular saw out in the rain overnight too and it still works also!
If you ever get an electric tool wet it is best to remove the battery (or unplug if corded) and let them dry out for a couple days before trying them. The water could cause a short and fry something if electricity goes through it when wet.
Dad has mostly Dewalt tools and he has that Dewalt impact too. He doesn't want them out in the rain though. But that is so cool!
2 years outside and it's still working! Maybe it's a solar Dewalt impact? hehe
Maybe now we can just leave it outside and we don't have to worry about it if we forgot to bring it back in.

Yeah...never "test out" their reliability/durability.
But good to know they can sometimes handle abuse.
Haha... Dont do on purpose. :-P

That is pretty crazy! My husband has dewalts right now but would like to switch over to Milwaukee’s for the power.
The milwaukee's do seem very good also. I actually find cordless power tool manufacturer hard to decide on because there are several very good brands.
This!
For the price and availability...I will still stay with /go with DeWalt.
