Impact Driver // Testing Makita Impact Drivers (12V vs 18V)

I am comparing impact drivers with driver drills. Testing out 12V (10,8V) Makita TD110DZ impact driver and Makita DF333DZ driver drill with 18V Makita DTD153Z impact driver and Makita DDF484Z driver drill.

Simply the review I needed. Thank you.

Really good video's, thanks for the information.

I have done a lot of different job's using the battery powered tools. I still feel that i do not have the understanding entirely about the selection on the market. I think personally that the driver drill is the best for any job when you have strong hands to withstand the torque even on the long projects.
But the impact tools in this matter are convinient for screws. They go in smoothly but loudly. No arm twisting. When you are doing small project you have to have the driver drill. When you're doing big projects you must have the driver drill. I just think its about how thick is your wallet when considering the impact drill.
Tough there is one thing i have noticed, when the old screw is stuck very well then its more likely to unscrew with impact drill. Well any unscrewing is better with impact drill.

Thanks for the video. The impact driver is mostly a lot easier on the wrist, which is important if you use it all day every day. It will also get screws loose that are rusted stuck better. Both are great tools for different jobs.

I don't even own an impact driver. I do everything with a drill. But I guess when driving multiple screws consecutively, impact driver's motor rotates at full speed and thus provides maximum cooling all the time.

In america we use every tool wrong. We try putting a 3 inch self feeding hole saw on a small impacter and call it a piece of shyte when it fails to do the job.
I recently bought a 3/8 impact wrench. It drives 1/2x6" lag bolts like there is no tomorrow because of
Every task has a specific tool.

Struggled with this for a long time, in the end just bought an impact driver (to compliment by drill/driver) but to be honest as an average DIY’er and auto repairs not sure i need it but since i have it use with no regrets (170 Nm should also take off most wheel nuts). Savers your wrist, generally helps me also starting to get arthritis. Thanks for sharing, really useful and insightful. If your on the fence - do it! You can never have enough tools.

less chance of cam out with the impact driver

Kasutan võimalust vastu vaidlemiseks :D Iga tööoperatsiooni jaoks on ikka oma riist, trell puurimiseks ja löökkruvikeeraja kruvide keeramiseks. Kruvile tuleb sobiva suurusega ava ette puurida. Ja löökkruvikeerajaga peitpea kruvi liiga sügavale keeramine on puhtalt kasutaja oskamatuses kinni, päästikusõrmega peab oskama survet nupule õigesti doseerida. Ega muidu ei targutaks, aga olen oma elu jooksul töö tõttu kümneid tuhandeid kruve keeranud, mutreid kinni kruttinud jne - löökkruvikeerajal on selge eelis trelli ees. Üks eelistest on ka viidikus välja toodud - ohutus. Sa saad kruvi kiiresti trelliga sisse küll, aga kuhu sa selle välja väänatud käega hiljem tõukad? Trellil kruttimise tugevuse timmimine on ka paras nali, pehmemasse puitu keerab liiga sügavale ja kui satub kõvem koht ette tulema, siis jääb kruvi pea välja. See on puhtalt minu arvamus ja ei pretendeeri täielikule tõele :D

One of the few reviews that tells the real differences with a realistic view. For small screw jobs you would better get a DDF083 instead of the DTD.

Impact driver 's, are good tools.drill power tools, smart's .both are Bright's...( Drills tools, I said, very good, good ...many brands, many designs.and colorful 's...corded, cordless ... collection

[giorgiomartini]

I found this video fantastic! This is wath I want to see . A test i parallel. Thanks Marek

Sure you don't absolutely need it but it you screw it alot of screws or faseners. It's far better for speed and does slip or rip ur wrist off like a drill would at top speeds. My dad and Co worker only use drills cuz they are more old school and dont like the noise. It's basically a professional high power screwdriver.

[TheBootyWrangler]

3x power absolutely in no way transfers to 3x as much speed. The impact driver is all about torque and absolutely shits on the standard cordless drill for majority of heavy duty driving jobs. Find a cordless drill that can drive a 13mm 5in lag bolt flush into the side of a tree without a pilot hole. You won’t. But the cheapest impact drivers can achieve this. The mechanism of action simply spins the chuck slower because it delivers repetitive high torque bursts rather than a continuous movement.

[bruderbrot]

This is such an illustrative comparison and shows that the average person is much better off with a normal drill (except maybe US homeowners, where houses are made of wood usually). Thank you!

Ive never heard of someone saying an ipact driver is meant to be more powerful than a drill

[galihwiratama]

Can we use the 18v battery into makita with 12v?

[roylinbobs]

Tq, its really informative and very useful sharing.

[Martian]

I think the opposite now. Impact drivers can drill perfectly fine with hex drill bits. The oil impulse type impact driver is a lot quieter than the hammer type. The m12 surge impact driver will be my next purchase.

Very nice videos, right to the point, with useful tips and no fluff, thanks!
