So this is it, our updated impact driver comparison test of the big players in the arena. We first published this video on 9th February 2018 but decided to extend the testing after your feedback so here is the original video with a few extra bits.
Watch Roger Bisby take drivers from Bosch, Dewalt, Hitachi, Hilti, Makita, Metabo, Milwaukee and Panasonic to see which one has the power and features of a champion. We also measure the sound level of these noisy machines.
Impact driver vs impact wrench review - Does the Metabo impact wrench with 400Nm of torque have more grunt than the less powerful 205Nm Dewalt DCF887?
The full reviews of each impact driver are listed below.

Far and away the best Impact Driver "shootout" I've seen. No fluffery, no showmanship guff... just straight talking, and giving each driver what looked like a fair crack. I was interested in the DeWalt before watching. Now I'm buying the DeWalt! Like some of the other commentors, for a Grand Finale I would have liked to have seen the DeWalt finish out the screws that never got to 100%. If you still have that block of oak around, how about making that quick video?

I’m glad you are mentioning material consistency. I watch a lot of tool duel videos and such but i am always thinking not only about consistency in material, but also with consistency between operators and left or right hand etc. the way screws in wood can effect the surrounding wood and so on. I think you guys on KZfaq need to use plexiglass or hard plastic, something man made like those materials, something that doesn’t have such variation as wood and not porous like concrete.

I have been talking to an engineer friend of mine who has offered up a theory on why the fluid drives performed so well in this test and punched well above their weight. He says that there is a certain amount of torsion in the bolts and the longer they are the more this is the case. If you hit the head you get twisting along the shank and that doesn't produce as much movement in the thread as a more sustained pushing action. Paradoxically the extra energy is, almost, counterproductive unless it is enough to produce the torsion, and some, which is what the DeWalt and Metabo did. He went on to say that there is the torsion moment of inertia and the polar moment. I don't pretend to understand this but I like the idea that sometimes the little guy wins the fight. Cleary all these bolts are struggling at the point where they run out of thread. As I said the force to overcome this is huge and we did snap the head of a bolt trying to drive it further with the DeWalt. Why did the video editor drop that clip?

@upas81 6 жыл бұрын

Hi was right. Thats why its not good compare fastest mode. Because its diffrent torque. Same with drill there are 2speeds 1 for 70nM 2 for 50nm. Speed 2less torque but faster work. When you use blue. Mode. Its possible that its more speed and less torque. Ned to see in manual. What speed on what torque working.

@SkillBuilder 6 жыл бұрын

The way an impact driver works is that the faster the hammer hits the anvil in rotation the more torque you get. It is like hitting a spanner with a hammer to tighten a nut. A drill works in a completely different way and the torque is in the gearbox and motor combination.

@SkillBuilder 6 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I will give then a try and see what happens

@upas81 6 жыл бұрын

What are you saying ok. Thats what told to us its true. But i got on my own with that. Many times. I will tel l you when its filed. Take screw driver with 70nm. Torque. And impact 180nm. Then drill in to concrete hole 5.5 and use screws (special screw drill straight to concrete)with T20 or T25 head. 20 cm long. You will see how torque 180 nm cant move screw in to concrete. And screw driver can do it with 50 nm. In my view point as more faster impact realise power, the les torque it reaching to turn screw. To understand that use Ridgid oil Pulse impact. You will feel the diferent on your hand. Impact just hamering. Oil pulse more turning. www.familyhandyman.com/masonry/concrete-repair/drilling-concrete-and-installing-fasteners/view-all/

Angel of War, not really... had it really been an impartial test they would’ve picked the Milwaukee Gen 3 Impact to compete vs the Milwaukee Surge. Do you know why? Because the Surge is a hydraulic/pulse driver. It has substantially lower ROM’s and IPM’s the the Gen 3. It’s only because the Milwaukee Surge is an awesome tool that it was able to drive the screw through the oak, smoking the Makita hydraulic offering. But really the bottom line is that it wasn’t an apples to apples test.

Given the inconsistent density of wood from spot to spot, it may be nice to drive fasteners through something else next time. Perhaps 6 or 8 engineered deck boards sandwiched together? It would also be interesting to take the highest torque DeWalt and finish the rest of those lag screws that the others failed to drive. Thanks for posting a most interesting match up.

@Jay Bee the tafe i went to to get my trade used dewalt, they had a deal with the company. My teachers and the students hated them. They were always getting replaced or broken. A lot of us used our own tools instead as they were no good. They may be better these days but it will take a long time for me to forget that. I don't care about the minor power bonus or battery life. I care about reliability and longevity

Thanks for adding the half inch drive metabo I've noticed half inch drive impact drivers are considerably cheaper than quarter inch drives even when you add in the cost of the adaptor so that's my option

Could you try the drivers that past, on the screws that failed to be driven in? Just to check that those screws haven't hit any area of high resistance.

Where is the Ryobi brand? I almost always see it in the top 5 for electric tools, especially impacts. Just curious.

Ryobi don't seem to market to the trade in the UK very much. They go for the DIY market more so you don't see them on site much. Nice cordless tools though...

Great info. I'm new to upping my carpentry game, and videos like these are exactly what I need to make an informed investment choice. The Dewalt seems like the top end of the ID list, for the moment. I'm still in the bang for the buck mindset, but I love a good tool.

It's the platform you run and personal preference that matters most of all. I run a surge because I like how quiet it is. Installed rear supports for drawer slides in a narrow cabinet yesterday and there was no harsh noise echoing to my ears. Not a big deal if you don't use one all the time though. But I do.

I have a hard time believing Bosch did that bad. I actually switched to Bosch from my dewalt set I had. And in my personal experience the Bosch out preformed dewalt. The 4ah battery for Bosch lasted twice as long as the dewalt 5ah battery as well. Side note, after 3 years both of the Bosch batteries are as strong as the day I bought them. My coworker has replaced 4 batteries since that time. Food for thought.

It is indeed to the old 18650 batteries they used. The new procore 21700 are absolute monsters. I drive 8" timberlok lag screws into oak rough boards to tie in the new replaced wall section to the old frame and my freak drove one through the timber board. The threads of the timberlok were protruding from the rough lumber. It was a no, no, but I wanted to know.

@thestampede3153 6 жыл бұрын

I can't help but wonder if the wood where the Bosch stumbled has a knot given the Makita DTD170 didn't perform as well as expected next to it, the bolts driven in from the side didn't penetrate very deep there either, as was mentioned, of course I don't know which machine didn't manage to drive in there but it could suggest there is a tougher section of the wood beam. All that said, running a test on high speed settings is pointless unless also including lowest speed tests, one machine may have 2 speed settings with very little speed/torque differences where another might have more significant difference to offer greater versatility.

@SkillBuilder 6 жыл бұрын

There is a great deal of truth in what you say which is why we also ran a test on each machine under normal conditions. There is not a bad machine in the bunch. Some are better at certain tasks and the DeWalt was particularly impressive. Speed equals torque on impact drivers because the faster the hammer hits the anvil the more it drives. The fluid drives work with more sustained push and overcome the flexing on the screw shank so they are better in that respect.

@thestampede3153 6 жыл бұрын

the fluid drive results were a definite eye opener and probably the way I'm now leaning for my driver purchases in the near future.
