[@michaelleach8897]

The impact takes longer because it turns at a slower rpm as it adds the hammering action. While the drill may seem faster, on screws this long, it heats the drill up internally to a far greater extent, which in the end reduces the life of the drill and drains the battery much faster. The hammer drill is more suited for this type of work because it’s geared lower, therefore develops more torque with less current, which is why it runs slower and stays cooler.

[@michaelleach8897]

Also, cedar is soft, you do this on treated 6x6 pine or hardwood, and it will be a different story. You’ll end up burning your perfectly good Hitachi drill up. I burned up a Makita cordless drill this exact same way.

[@JT-np1op]

Exactly. Impact drives screws and the material together differently than a regular drill. The impact motor could drive as fast too, but the motion of the impact hammer in the driver drivetrain slows things down. I prefer impact on all my work. Everything seems tighter.

I give up, and decide to do what we should have done, and just dig around in glued/painted over wood to pull the screws out instead of breaking my back trying to fight over prybars. The easy way. The new guy I was working with blows up on me, saying I was lazy, hogging all the batteries. Mind you, I had not changed batteries once since I started pulling screws. This was an already spent battery. It was mine. He said he just needed to cut about two feet of board. I told him that if he could get through that two feet on that battery, I'd buy him lunch that week. The dude made it about 10 inches before the tool goes silent, and he walks off pissed.

Drills are great for most scenarios, but when you run into mixed materials in weird places, the impact will shine, especially when you can’t put your weight behind it. I had to put a screw through a window sill to mount an AC brace, but it had a storm sill on top and some other sheet metal beneath that were around 1/8” thick combined before you even hit the wood. I didn’t have the room to put my weight on the drill to push through the metal, so I brought out my impact driver and it went through instantly. The drill, however, would go through about 1/16” and dance around doing nothing. I prefer drills, but it’s definitely on a case by case basis. Both my impact and drill are Bosch and have anti-kick, which is so great to have.

Faster yes, I've had extensive experience in both. But, when using a drill you need to apply two handed pressure on your drill when using larger longer screws. Your left hand to push down so it doesn't cam out, and your right wrist from the counter pressure on the screw twisting into the wood. Drills are also bigger and bulkier (generally). So if your on top of a ladder driving a big lag into hardwood horizontally, you're liable to tip the ladder and down you go. If you have both drills, the impact is the better choice. But for small fasteners, I don't think it doesn't matter.

[@wilmesz1992]

Yes cordless drill motors many times have around 3-4 times the torque of the motor running an impact driver. They eat this kind of stuff up. And yeah the anti-kickback is really the key here.

[@cowofthemonth]

When the impact can't get the screw out again, the drill usually can

[@drewstudlino5885]

Not to make this a pissing contest, I'd say opposite, but I could be wrong, maybe it was the manufacturers tools im used to working with. And my impacts would get it out or it sheered. But I can't say I've used Makita tools much in past 10yrs maybe a dozen times, I can say back in like 05 I used a small Makita cordless and I was very impressed by its power for being so little and it was only a nickel cadium and battery I believe too..

Okay but impacts are made for driving in long screws and bolts and the drill is made to drill holes and such. If you keep using that drill that way, it’ll break on you eventually.

Quite the contrary. Long screws are essentialy a torsion spring, thus impact drivers are not really suited for them. Most manufacturers provide high torque/low speed non-impact drivers for this purpose.

My older cousin was repairing a hauling trailer for my grandpa when i was 16. Mind you, he was around 36-37 years old. He yelled at me to get off my phone, so i slid my phone in my back pocket, not paying attention, and sat down to hold a board while he used a big solid metal silver drill with an iron handle grip the side and a thick solid power cord. He locked that little sliding trigger lock and i watched the drill bit lock and spin up violently and quickly. My cousin then accidentally punched himself so hard in the face he started having the death rattle sound and freaked me out until he choked on spit and started coughing and woke himself up. I freaked out and realized my phone screen was fucked.

[@davidashton2361]

Just to add to my last comment, Bro. The SDS system is a percussion drill for various applications, such as drilling into concrete and with the rotary feature switched off, light demolition work. Special bits are used that only fit in the SDS collet system. An SDS adapted chuck is also available so that the percussion drill can be converted into using standard drill bits with the percussion feature switched off and the rotary feature engaged. A hammer drill is for drilling into brickwork and screed surfaces (sharp sand and cement morter mix). It can be used to drill into concrete provided the concrete mix is not a strong high cement content mix, but it will be hard work and the wall drill bits will wear out quickly. The hammer action can be disengaged for straight drilling. A drill/driver is a drill that is used to drill holes in metal and wood up to the recommended capacity of the drill and can be switched into screw driving mode for driving in screws. It features a variable torque system and, most importantly, a reverse mode. All three of these drilling machines feature a variable speed adjustment. Either within the trigger mechanism or as a separate adjuster control knob. Are you clear now? Can I help you with anything else?

For me, I've always found the impact driver easier to use, you don't really have to hold it that hard ,and it just keeps digging. A drill, on the other hand, you have to hold pretty hard,plus that whole wrist breaking thing. Great video, brother 👍 thanks

The “new thing” was the impact driver for so long. Cordless drills though, with their 2-speed transmissions, have been FAR faster at installing most large fasteners for a long time now. Hopefully the spotlight will start shining on drills so impact drivers don’t continue to be made worse and worse chasing those stupid max-torque figures.
