You're Using the Wrong Tool! Milwaukee vs Flex #milwaukee #flextools #impactvsdrill #howto #diy #win

This the best example you’ve had in awhile ! I agree and it’s clear

The impact makes it sound like you're working really hard when the boss is around.

[GorJam]

Because the drill would destroy a Phillips screw head. Hex screws are different.

[sparkzbarca]

For that screw size it's fine. But impacts have three times as much torque. It's the semi truck vs the Ferrari. For light work the drill is faster but make that diameter twice as big and the impact won't slow at all

I use an impact driver because as an automotive technician, I can grab a ph3 Philips head bit and hammer out any rusted bolt or torque down a seat frame bolt :). Also impact drivers are lighter than hammer drills.

I used drills for the longest time when i first started my HVAC career and until one day i had accidentally left my tools at home and had to borrow someone elses, using an impact was like night and day, my bits lasting longer, not stripping out screw heads, not struggling in odd spaces or weird angle. I had no clue what i was missing, i went and bought an impact next payday and have never looked back, my drill only gets used to drill holes now.

I prefer the impact for driving screws since it’s easier on the hand. But for delicate work, I prefer using the drill with the clutch set to the appropriate torque.

[Mvrick]

Impact requires less counterforce for the user. Reduces fatigue if you are doing it all day.

[charlySoundLV]

The quick change on the impact is what does it for me 💯

[chipsahoyboy]

Some people use impacts on screws for “easy use” and to “not hurt their hand as much.” I just love the ugga dugga. Can’t really compare it to anything. I just like loud noises to break up the silence

[chaseowens]

The impact is more responsive to adjust at the end of the drive.

For rough carpentry that’s fine.

Besides hardware, and impact provides more control for sinking the fastener.

At the end of that drive, a quick trigger pull with the drill will turn minimum 3/8 to 1/2 a turn or the drill will time out, or the torque will overtake your wrist.
With the impact, a quick hit on the trigger gives very small adjustment and it will try to keep driving until the battery dies.

Thats why I personally prefer the impact 90% of the time.

To each their own.

Damn!!! I learned something today. After I saw this video I've only been using my drill. Before seeing it I used my impact for literally everything. Thank you sir!!

[shaktisingh]

The Drill was so fast that the wood started smoking 😂😂😂 Great Scott!!!

[Repackrider]

I’m not a contractor, so I do around the house projects. I use my 9amp corded Milwaukee Magnum 1/2 keyless chuck drill. It kicks ass, never runs out of battery power, will run a 5/8 - 10” long lag screw into pressure treated lumber, no problem. I’ve had it 22 years. Works everytime even if I haven’t used it for 2yrs.

[anguscover]

Because it's lighter half the size and alot more balanced

[samburd]

I work on rvs and everyone uses impacts exclusively of varying voltage. I use a 12v drill and people asked why, for me it's control but on some larger structural repair we use #14 5" timber screws going aluminum tubing and wood. My drill drives them faster than even higher voltage impacts.

[dmounce]

Just telling you from experience, sometimes the impact will run it up when the drill struggles. We also always ran philips heads. I dont know why, but if you get into hard wood or your screws are dull or some combination of the two. The drill just won't do it and keeps camming out, but the impact will send it home.

[Capthrax]

Super important that you mention you use a hexhead instead of a phillips, because the likelihood of stripping, it is more so also the force on your wrist is a lot better with the impact versus the constant torque of the Drill driver but w/e floats your boat

[josephcontreras]

Because if you use a drill and hit another nail or obstruction in the way when drilling, that drill is gonna spin, break your wrist, smack you in the face or both

[devooski]

The drill is quieter too. No need for ear plugs. It’s heavier but you’ll get stronger if you use your tools more.
