DRILL VS. DRIVER (What's The Difference?!! Cordless Drill Vs. Impact Driver--COMPARISON)
The cordless drill has been around for a long time now. But the IMPACT DRIVER is still a relatively new tool that many homeowners and DIYers don't seem to know about. In this video, The Honest Carpenter explains some of the differences between these two tools!
Cordless drills are mostly just spinning machines. They use a chuck and jaw to clamp down on drill bits--the motor then applies constant torque to turn those bits. This makes them very good at boring out holes.
Cordless Drills can also be used for "driving bits"--bits that are designed to turn fasteners.
An impact driver is a similar rotary tool. But, instead of a chuck and jaws, it has a lockable collet that traps hex-shanked driving bits.
Impact drivers are primarily used for driving fasteners. Unlike cordless drills, they're not that great at drilling (in my opinion). BUT, they're capable of delivering so much more force than a cordless drill, there's really no comparison!
Impact drivers can sense resistance. When driving a fastener, the impact driver will spin like a drill until a certain amount of resistance occurs. At that point, they will activate a "super mode." The motor will begin to detach from the bit, and reattach to the bit dozens of times a second.
This cuts down on bit slippage, saving your arm from having to counteract that force. But, it amplifies the force sent through the tool into the drill bit.
Impact drivers can often drive really large, long drill bits without even pre-drilling (though pre-drilling is still a good idea.)
Cordless Drill Vs. Impact Driver--COMPARISON:
Cordless drills are still my preferred tool for driving fasteners.
But, impact drivers are a tradesperson's best friend. They make driving and backing out difficult fasteners extremely easy. They also save wear and tear on your arm!
I don't, however like to use the impact driver for drilling holes (even though they do make custom drill bits for loading into the impact driver).
I also still prefer using a cordless drill for driving smaller fasteners, like decorative screws.
I hope this DRILL VS. DRIVER COMPARISON was helpful!

Thank you so much! I am a woman who is introducing myself to electric tools late in life. I bought a "Pink Power" drill a few years ago, I don't use a drill much but Oh! my goodness, they are so much better than using screwdrivers! However, it is not a powerful drill and I am tired of having to borrow my neighbors tools so I am going to purchase myself a full power drill for myself this fall. When I look at the ads, they all say drill/drivers. What in the world does that mean. I want to thank you so MUCH for your direct, simple comparison with visual comparisons. You didn't make a video about yourself, you made it to help people understand the difference between the two tools. You didn't talk unnecessarily and wasting time. You got to the point and I got all the knowledge that I was looking for. Much appreciate you.

Thanks for explaining the difference & how to use the drills. I used one for the first time when I was trying to mount some L brackets to the floor joists to add some ceiling storage. I predrilled with my drill and then tried to put the 2.5 inch screws in. I thought I was going to cry because, the screws wouldn’t go in and I was afraid to use the drill further because of damaging the screw head. I didn’t have the strength to do it by hand, (I’m a 100 lb, 70 year old female) so I asked my neighbor for help. After assessing the situation, he brought in his impact drill. I couldn’t believe the difference, I was able to finish my project by myself which had 10 more screws to do. An amazing tool & thanks for explaining how they operate so clearly. I’m going to get one of my own as I want to put some shelves in my garage.

I love tools! Several years ago I started buying my own....the ones I wanted, not what my husband thought I should have. I got the combo drill driver set but I never knew how or why to use the driver. I had watched lots of guys using one in their videos but never heard why or their purpose. I finally decided to figure it out, first learning curve was to learn how to use the collet! When I successfully used that driver, I fell in love with it! I'm 76 and don't have as much strength as I used to have, especially with my arms raised above my head. I have to get my shoulder behind it when needing to push. Once I figured out that driver.....Katy bar the door! Now, unless I just can't get up high enough to reach where I need to drill, I don't have to ask for, let alone WAIT for someone taller to help me out. This driver is so much easier to use and gets the job done without a lot of frustration from improper use of the drill on my part. Thank you for explaining this tool. I totally understand it all now!

@bullfrogpondshop3179 2 жыл бұрын

Excellent description of the difference between both tools for beginners! My understanding of the operation of the Impact Driver (ID) is slightly different: When Impact Mode kicks in, the driving mechanism inside slams repeatedly against the shaft. Think of a series of short but powerful high frequency hammer strikes (impacts), only the striking is done in a rotary motion instead of the somewhat linear motion of a hammer strike. Similar to smacking a wrench with a hammer to free a stubborn bolt...only much higher frequency. As a soon-to-be-retired Woodshop teacher and avid DIY'er, I'd like to add my slightly different experience to the discussion. I often use my ID to drill holes. A cheap hex end drill set (suitable for DIY'ers) can be had at Harbor Freight. The ID is smaller and lighter hanging on my tool belt. Changing bits is quicker and easier. Lastly, I've NEVER had my ID kick over to Impact Mode when drilling holes even in hard wood, so it DOES supply the same constant torque that a Drill does. Also, when the ID kicks into Impact Mode, the RPM's at the drive end drop dramatically. This can be good or bad, depending on the situation. I like the ID for more precise depth control when driving fasteners where the depth is critical. As the fastener head approaches the surface of the wood, Impact Mode kicks in, slowing down the progress and allowing for accurate control of fastener depth for those cases where you want the screw head perfectly flush with your surface. I've found the adjustable clutch on Drills to be unreliable as a means of fastener depth control, likely due to the variances in wood density...even in the same board. I NEVER use it. With a little practice and a fair amount of hand-eye coordination, one can learn to release the Drill trigger at precisely the right moment, especially if the speed is reduced towards the end of the drive. However, on long 3" screws, the decreased RPM's provided by Impact Mode result in significantly slower progress and longer drive time...not to mention the increased noise levels! So I prefer the Drill for driving most long screws quickly. Combined with Star-drive screws, "camming out" is virtually eliminated. And for almost all fastener driving in softwoods, pre-drilling is not necessary with modern powerful cordless drills (12 volts and above). 3" Deck or Drywall screws can be driven with ease with a Drill. We all did it for years before ID's hit the market. Hardwoods are a different story! While we're on the topic, I know the Canadians love their Robertson (square drive) screws. I've tried them a few times and they were a little better at preventing cam out than Phillips head, but they still required significant downward pressure to do so. Even then, they cammed out occasionally. Torx Drive (Star) virtually eliminates the need for downward pressure to prevent cam out. They are more expensive than other screws, but so worth it! Happy building!

As a carpenter i second all that youve said. My impqct is my main stay. The drill is used to supplement my id. Almost everything can be done better with the id.

Try using a DEWALT, Milwaukee or Mikita and then you’ll be able to use the pressure clutch trigger to see instant results

I never even knew such things existed, and had always assumed that a normal drill would suffice. Now I really want one to fulfill my childhood jackhammer fantasies. I have an oscillating multi-tool and assumed that if you have a thick enough blade and motor, that's how DIYers would chip concrete. But a hammer drill is clearly better. You've inspired my to explore and learn how impact drivers and hammer drills achieve their magic. I'm really curious as to the gear setup to accomplish the motion. Keep up the good work!

@KSTrekker Жыл бұрын

Totally agree on their uses! I like using a cordless drill/screwdriver for assembling/disassembling furniture and such, like taking the legs off of a kitchen table. The reason is the drill/screwdriver has an adjustable clutch so you only use the amount of torque necessary without stripping threads or fasteners. Your typical cordless drill/screwdriver is also 2 speed, which is handy for drilling in metal. I never knew the difference on the bits, so thanks for that tip.

Hi, I have just discovered your videos and love your clear and concise style. With over 40 year's of building under my belt I am still learning, and so I still find these useful. Re impact drivers. The biggest problem with them is that it is very easy to strip out the threads, especially on smaller screws and bolts. Too many times I have come across pre assembled items where you can pull the bits off due to stripped screws. For that reason I will now install smaller screws with a smaller battery drill, or even by hand (#7 or smaller)

I love my impact driver. But there is times where the clutch on my drill was necessary. Just to keep from striping out the holes on prefab metal sheds.

All these years I marveled at videos driving long screws without any effort and thinking I was a no good at it because I could never drive a screw using a drill without camming. Thank you for explaining the distinction between the two. I feel much better already, and I'm off to get myself an impact driver.

No kidding! I've done everything I can think of to prevent screw heads stripping: pre-drilling; using brand new screwdriver bits; putting all my weight on top of the drill when turning in screws on a horizontal surface....nothing works! I'm wondering if everyone who looked at me blankly over the years when I asked them why my screwdriver bits always stripped the screws was already using impact drivers :I

Thank you! This was what I wanted to know when all I want to do is drill holes in my auto chassis - where drills are better. However, seems like drivers are more suited for screwing and unscrewing.

Thank you for this video. I’ve had an impact driver for several years now and never knew what it was for. The drill and impact driver came as a set and were given to me as a gift. I’ve also had dozens projects over the years in which I should’ve used an impact driver. Now that I know maybe I’ll stop screwing it up so much. 😂🤣

@michaelharper7433 3 жыл бұрын

I see a lot of impact driver users breaking fasteners and splitting wood and driving too far through the material. What the impact driver is missing is the feel. Sometimes, such as in cabinetry, I go back to the old screw driver (even with beefy screws) to get the perfect bite. And yes, you can provide more torque manually than with a dewalt battery powered "drill". Predrilling is always best for me if I have the time, small drop of wood glue, use the drill to drive in most of the way and fine tune with the screwdriver. Sounds labor intensive but what it creates is permanent. Also, my wrists and elbows do hurt quite a bit...

Just one of the best clips I've seen. I Learned so much here I'm going out and getting a combo, impact/ hammer drill this week. Great information for casual users. I always wondered why I strip so many screws. I thought it was only because they were all made in china and were cheap junk like most everything we buy today. thanks so much.
