Do You Need Drill and Impact Driver?

For most smaller DIY projects, a drill is what most people would need. Drill is great for drilling holes and setting smaller screws and lighter nuts/bolts. Drills are also much more precise and have more speed controls than an impact driver.

An impact driver comes in handy when you're setting many fasteners like building a deck or fence or if the fasteners that you're trying to remove are long or stuck. An impact driver is much easier on the users hands/wrist as the tool takes the brunt of the torque and force and won't "twist" like a drill. Impact drivers are often used by mechanics to remove and install nuts and bolts when working on vehicles.

Do you need both drill and impact driver? That really depends on if you're getting into heavier duty tasks that a drill can't keep up with.

I dare you to show me that the drill wouldn’t be able to do it

[Miikalee]

Bro please don't make me defend Soalz...the drill will do both jobs quicker the impact still has its place

[louisd]

Wrong. Drills should be used for the larger fasteners. Please don’t pass around incorrect information.

[newtonraymond]

A drill would definitely do that faster my boi. You have no clue

[ryderwhite]

I hate people that do this the drill dose all the jobs except being compact you can put in lots of deck screws with a drill 😂

[ethansirevicius]

“No pilot holes with the impact driver” just a lot of cracked wood

[allenshamon]

Youre just wrong, a drill can do it and with ease. Main difference between the 2 is that when it binds up in lets say a knot in the wood the impact driver starts to impact instead of trying to tear your wrist off

[davidschlarp]

The drill absolutely will do that and probably do it faster because they have higher RPM's

[GabrielRamos-qh]

I’ve been lookin for a video that explains the difference and none of them made sense but this is the first one to for me so thank you

[rockyrococo]

A drill most certainly will drive a deck screw with a pilot hole. Deck acrews are self drilling 😅

[zingerzte]

Show us how the drill wouldnt be able to do that! Dare you! No s talking around

[michelwilliams]

The drill will definitely drive a screw like that way faster than an impact can. I build post frame buildings so yes I do know for a fact that it would but with that said there's a lot of people out there saying the drill is better for large fasteners and an impact is for small fasteners which is somewhat correct but from my experience to put fasteners like this screw or larger in with a drill takes a lot more downward force from the user and a bit more finesse and skill where as the impact doesn't take near as much downward force or skill in the end the impact may not do it as fast as the drill but the impact will do it with a lot less work from the user and if I'm up on a ladder reaching over my head to drive in big screws or etc I'd rather use the impact. If I was doing decking or I'm over the top of the drill and have a lot of mobility I'd be using the drill plus you can set your clutch and so on

[emilytrumbull]

Idk why your lieing to your viewers do any test with that exact drill vs impact and the drill is going to drive fasteners in way faster

[DillonDaVillain]

Drill= to make holes
Impact= to take out of holes

[yihengli]

Few months later: should have bought both😂

Just so youre aware. There is another channel thst has done direct comparison between drills and drivers using really long screws (like 6 inch) and the drill was always faster whether it was 12v or 18-20v or other brands (direct comparison of like for like drill and driver). This isnt to say that the drill os better at driving than a driver, jsut that it isnt slower as you said or implied.

I've used both a drill and driver for both drilling and driving (Milwaukee makes drill bits that go into a driver). What i have learned is that there is a major difference in the amount of fatigue and risk of injury between the two. The drill tends to be more tiring as it has a lot more rotational torque through the drill to the person that you must counterack, and if you don't have a firm grip the drill is much more mor likely to twist out of your hand and hurt your wrist or anything close enough to get hit. The driver tends to be more controlled and alllows you to be more precise, as well as working better (in my experience) for torqued nuts and bolts on vehicles and equipment.

Impact driver won't snap your rist a drill will if it get caught up on something. I know because I almost did.

[LightSaber]

What a terrible video. Misinformation. Disliked.

[cadentemple]

You have no clue what your talking sorry

[efproductions]

@SoAlz finna light yo ass up for this 😂
