Impact Drivers

An impact driver is more compact by design. Impact drivers have more torque and use a quick-change clamp to hold bits with a hexagonal shank. Impact drivers give you better contact with the head of a screw, resulting in less stripped heads. They're ideal when driving in a lot of screws, bolts and other fasteners because impact drivers are easier on your hands and wrists. They're a great choice for heavy-duty drilling such as screwing large bolts into concrete.

If you’re driving in a lot of fasteners, longer screws and lag bolts, an impact driver is the best choice. Impact drills are known for having a powerful torque that lets them drill through dense materials such as metal or knotted wood. Great projects for an impact driver include:

• Building a deck or fence
• Assembling furniture with large screws
• Removing stubborn or rusted bolts and screws
• Assembling outdoor structures like sheds or pergolas
• Installing cabinets or shelving
