Protool did have 2 Impact drivers called IDC15-2 and IWC18-2.
They were discontinued before the PDC/DRC models were converted to Festool models.
Why they stopped selling it I don't know.
The 14,4V range of Protool has been discontinued a 1-2 years back already. That I also don't understand.
While the IWC18-2 model was even upgraded tot the latest models.

Yes you are right.
There is a lot confusion about the terminology between Impact Drivers and Impact Wrenches.
I made the same mistake.
Both Protool machine have 1/2" connection for using sockets and that makes it most often a Wrench.
There is also a 1/4" connection for using bits inside the socket connection and you can also use a Centrotec chuck CC-IP which differs from the standard one because it fits over the 1/2" socket.

They both serve a purpose, impact drivers have less strain and more torque.
Drills are quieter and can screw faster than an impact drill. Eventhough impact drills have high RPM, they have to do 1 full rotation to engage the hammer, and when the hammer hits your bit it is quickly absorbed and almost never does a full 360 degree turn. Thankfully they're usually high RPM/BPM but they're still slower than a drill.
