A butterfly is an impact wrench but it about the size of 2 packs of cigaretts back to back with a butterfly switch on top. You push the right side it goes clockwise, left is counter clockwise. Very fast after it breaks the bolt loose with the impact hammer.
I have both and would be more than happy to let you borrow both and try them before you buy, or just borrow them when you need them. The only time I use them is when I am working on a car, and that is not very often anymore.
