What is an impact driver used for?Impact drivers are perfect for driving screws and fasteners into tough materials like wood, metal, and concrete. They’re also great for heavy-duty tasks like decking, framing, and furniture assembly.
How is an impact driver different from a drill?
While standard drills are ideal for drilling holes, impact drivers are designed for driving screws with more torque and power. They make it easier to handle large fasteners and reduce the strain on your wrist.
When should I use an impact driver instead of a drill?
While standard drills are ideal for drilling holes, impact drivers are designed for driving screws with more torque and power. They make it easier to handle large fasteners and reduce the strain on your wrist. Use an impact driver for:
Yes, but only if they have a hex shank. Regular round-shank bits may not fit or withstand the tool’s force. Impact drivers use 1/4-inch hex-shank bits. It’s best to use bits labelled as “impact-rated” for durability under high torque.
What features should I look for in an impact driver?
Consider features like torque power, RPM (rotations per minute), lightweight design, ergonomic grip, LED work lights, and reliable battery systems.
Are corded or cordless impact drivers better?
Cordless impact drivers offer portability and convenience, making them great for projects on the go!
What size impact driver do I need?
The size you need depends on the tasks you plan to handle. A 1/4-inch impact driver is versatile for most DIY projects, while professionals may opt for 1/2-inch models for more demanding applications.
What kind of bits are compatible with an impact driver?
You’ll need impact-rated bits made specifically for the high torque of impact drivers. Regular drill bits can break under pressure.
Are brushless motors better for impact drivers?
Absolutely! Brushless motors are more efficient, last longer, and generate less heat compared to brushed models.
