The impact is more responsive to adjust at the end of the drive. For rough carpentry that’s fine. Besides hardware, and impact provides more control for sinking the fastener. At the end of that drive, a quick trigger pull with the drill will turn minimum 3/8 to 1/2 a turn or the drill will time out, or the torque will overtake your wrist. With the impact, a quick hit on the trigger gives very small adjustment and it will try to keep driving until the battery dies. Thats why I personally prefer the impact 90% of the time. To each their own.

@SawtoothWild 3 ай бұрын

THIS!! 🎉 YES. You're speaking my language. A drill will drive screws in deep and quick, we all know that. But an impact will be able to drive screws to the EXACT spot you want them to be, every time. For building decks, or hanging drywall, that's very important. A drill will send a drywall screw wayyy too far before you can stop it. A deck will have deck screws at various depths throughout the build.

Only cases where ipact might make sense is very tight spaces, but hey there is angle attachment for that.

Increased torque can break ur wrist or damage drill motor as it puts the force on the motor directly.

As a small person it can be a little sketchy to stand on a tall step ladder, while trying to insert a large fastener while holding the drill with one hand. With the impact however it’s a lot easier. Slower and noisier, sure, but easier and less risk. Overall, I think you’ve proven your point fairly well by now when reading through the comments.

The drill motor works harder. The impact MOTOR keeps constant speed with little actual.load on the motor itself due to the anvil mechanism. The drill will heat up more and use more power to drive that screw. Drive 10 or 15 of those screws and see which motor is hotter. Just because it's faster doesn't mean it's better.

@shurdi3 6 ай бұрын

@@ToolswithSoAlzThe impact is a relatively constant load on the motor, meaning that the current stays the same, and willing to bet a lot lower, since torque is derived from the dogs hitting the anvil. The drill derives its torque from the motor, meaning that the torque it provides is directly proportional to the current in the motor. Higher current= higher heat. It'd be interesting to see an ammeter connected in series with the battery to determine the draw.

Impact drivers saves your wrist. When you are using the drill you have to use your wrist to counteract the torque that is being applied to the drill body. The impact is using its own inertia to counteract the torque. One is more effective short term, one more effective long term.

The internals of a drill are different from an impact driver. I once burned up a drill driving screws because it was the only thing I had. There is a flywheel inside the drill. Eventually, it got very hot and startes spitting out chuncks of it. Do not use a drill to drive screws. An impact driver has a device in it which can only be described as a circular hammer. It was designed for driving screws and bolts. A drill is not meant to have that kind of load on it.
