Drill vs Impact Driver Ending the Debate #drillvsimpact #milwaukee #powertools #milwaukeetools

This isn’t a debate on which is more efficient anymore. I can say after seeing a number of your videos and its comments this is really an argument about preference. You’ve already proven in multiple ways that both can do the job. People supporting drivers obviously make their choice off quickness and above all they don’t mind the resistance and amount of control somewhat necessary to use it. As for those supporting impacts just prefer the convenience; for example it’s lightness, simplicity, quick and easy to change bits, and I’m guessing the lack of constant strain using it for particular projects. In my case i like the driver because I’m used to everything that comes with it; i can adjust to any bit size, you can alternate from drive and impact, and the weight is more than tolerable for me. I can understand both sides of the argument though, there’s no real superior if the person using isn’t utilizing the best out it.

Impact is always a nicer experience. Saves your wrists, too.

You brace your entire body around that drill to keep your wrist from doing 360s around your garage - impact comfortable in one hand. Impact wins for me

[kencooley]

I'm happy you showed how the impact won. Using only a single hand, it never jerked around on you. Impact drivers are very friendly on the user, allowing you to drive fasteners of any size without recoil

[Cenobite]

Can you show us on the doll where the bad impact driver touched you?
😢

[BogdanNourescu]

Why don't you hold the drill with 1 hand like you did with the impact?

[tonybilco]

Definitely i find more control and stability with impact driver

[williamsanders]

As a mechanic the drill only helps if your drilling something after that those drivers are like your best friend.

[jonpierce]

You didn't end the debate, you extended it. Like this comment all you impact users.

[raduszilagyi]

I have both. Drill for drilling and impact driver for screwing. I found out from experience that the impact driver is not necessarily faster. But in some situations it can do things the drill can't. Having both is a win-win for me 😀

[pliskin]

when I stand on a ladder with one arm, I prefer the impact driver over the drill. They both have their advantages

[theperfectpaintertoolreview]

No question it's faster. But it's not All about speed. U had to hold on for dear life and push with all your might. U had 1 hand on the impact. I use both, when I do use an impact it's just cuz it's easier and the tool does all the work

[antonior]

I rather use the impact with one hand than struggle with the drill with two hands

[zigsrig]

Personally, I'd use the drill to make a pilot hole then the driver to drive the bolt in. Seems it would make life easier for me, both tools, and whatever I'm drilling into. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[donmaster]

It's the harbor freight socket that's slowing it down. Could have been a bit faster with a different brand socket. Lol. HF fanboys will whine

I use a drill all day everyday to drive 100's if not 1000's of fasteners a day. I have an impact but don't ever use it. My body is fine and wrist is fine. I refrained from saying this in other comments but MAN THE F$&K UP if you think a 20v drill is a workout to use. What is wrong with you guys? My Great Grandfather built houses till the day he died in the 80's. He never used a power tool, ever. Hand drills, hammers, hand saw... He was a damn machine. I equate this to younger mechanics that have to were gloves and have trick to keep oil off their hands when changing oil. Get your damn hand dirty, your a mechanic, grow up, man up, shut up, do the job, and do it right (not that using a driver is wrong).

Yes the drill drives it in more efficiently, but you have to have the strength to deal with the counter rotational force. Two hands on that drill and a good stance. If a person is working off a ladder only has one hand to stabilize the tool then that's the benefit of having a impact driver over the drill. Every tool has a purpose and reason for existing. I'm always going to want both. He does a good job demonstrating the benefits of both tools right here.

[adammendoza]

Awww, come on you put a lot more pressure on the drill driver… you’re not fooling anybody….

[douglassmith]

Impact drivers are no longer the go to on job sites, the noise is ridiculous, and the drill does everything. They are really just a marketing thing to inexperienced tradesmen thinking they need one.

[Get_Splooshed]

Bro put his entire soul behind that drill lmao impact won
