As an HVAC tech I have the impact on my hip with 95% pouch (pouch with the tools that get 95% of the work done). I use it all day long swapping out the robby #2, Phillips #2, 1/4" and 5/16" nut driver. How ever I do have my beefy hammer drill to make holes or operated things like speed shears. Not sure I could decide between one or the other. For me its a better to have both as they are for different types of jobs. The DIYer doesn't need the top of the line ones just your basic father's day combo kit for the box store ;)

Jeff, you always get our thumbs up! Your demonstration is always remarkable. This is a retired-senior 's time to dig into renovation for our old house. Having no much money to hire some constructor to do that. Now get my sleeves up and learn from the beginning, you are more than a tutor, you are the one who really back up your home-owners, know that we cannot afford, but still tons of repair and maintanience to deal with when the house are getting old as we do. I am looking to have right ,affordable tool to start with. Thank you for this toturial, i know that I should have both of them.

@dporrasxtremeLS3 2 жыл бұрын

Great video! Even most experienced engineers and tradesmen, do not know or sometimes do not understand... Most of the time you get high speed, OR high torque. You cannot have both! The compromise is One or the Other...With the clutch settings for the size and length of the screws you are using, and the type of materials you are working on, finish or rough/hidden material. Running a # 10-12 screw 2-4 inch long in wood in a high-speed setting, even with a high clutch setting causes the bit to slip or spin on the head of the screw. The best way in my experience is to set the drill speed to slow speed, which is a high torque, and care in watching the drill respond to the materials. This makes for professional results every time. No broken or worn out bits or broken screws.

@@abdullahal-shimri3091that’s true but you risk breaking drill bits and drilling into metal with an impact driver is almost a guaranteed way to break a drill bit.

I work in construction as an electrician and I use my impact every single day. My first impact was the 18 volt battery one it was heavy, but that thing never gave up on me for 5 years rain or shine. Then I bought the 20v impact XR to retire my old impact. I've been using my 20v impact for about 2 years now and just recently bought my DCD800 this weekend because there was times I had to ask to borrow someones drill to drill holes for disconnects so I just bought my new drill and can't wait to break it in hopefully it gives me lots of years of work like my old 18 volt drill did. 7 years strong, and it still works like the first day I got it, but I have to retire it because I like new tools lol.

I’ve been using my Milwaukee M12 ratchet and my M18 drill for years and always wanted a driver, but thought it couldn’t do anything that these 2 couldn’t already do… that being said I had some extra change in my pocket today and pulled the trigger on the Dewalt XR 3 speed driver, came home and the more I played with it the more I regretted not buying it years ago! It was the answer to years of frustration! I really don’t see the need for my drill anymore than for drilling maybe, but then the driver seems to do awesome at that to! I used to strip the heads off screws and crack wood into but this seems to be the answer to that problem to! Man, I really needed this tool in my life! 😊

@austin2842 Жыл бұрын

I find that a drill can sometimes do a better job of pulling two pieces of wood together, like when the first one has been predrilled to prevent splitting. In this instance, an impact driver requires that you make 100% sure the pieces are tight together before screwing. If you don't, the gap can remain. It's a small but significant detail.

I have the Dewalt '3 speed' impact driver, it's not really 3 speeds but more like 3 torque settings, way more useful then just changing how fast it spins. 1 is pretty gentle and won't drive much of any screws in quite enough - except maybe drywall, 2 will drive almost everything in with quite a bit of power but often not sink it below the surface, and 3 is going all out, will bury it a 1/4" easily and for framing / deck building essentially. Never get a driver without the 'speed' selection IMO!

Always have both available. Use the drill for drilling holes and the impact driver for screwing unless screwing in tapcon screws then only use the drill. When using the impact driver on cabinets or similar you can learn to lightly press on trigger so it doesn't spin too fast and you can control the depth of the screw.
