I was 17 i was drilling a ground for a chandlerie it was in open hall which ran all the way to tge second story in height, i was drilling down standing on the joists when the corded 240v drill malfunctioned, it kicked and kept turning with no hand on trigger, i tried to stop it but ended up geting tye cord wrapped around my leg while this beast kept tightening it, my father quickly cut the cable with a skill saw and saved my leg from serious injury, i still have a lovely ringed burn scar on my leg.
It has the anti-kickback, but it still tried to snap your wrist off. Yes the impact is a bit slower but the sheer laziness of it is just great. No tight grips, crazy control, and just overall less strain on your body makes it my go-to for every screw or bolt I’m ever gonna use.
I’ll have to check my Mikita which is the only kind I buy direct from the factory and you’ll get tools that will last you but for some reason you buy the same Mikita at say Home Depot and damn thing will be lucky it lasts 3-4 months but when I heard finally to buy direct I have had the same 5-6” grinder for past 5-6 years and still running just changed the brushes twice.🤷🏻♂️😂😂
You know it! And note something else too about Makita.. they are ALL double-insulated. NO GROUND LUG! I've STOOD in WATER using my drill drilling a hole through the water! yeah try that with a Dewalt and you'll be DEAD!
We still have a big ass die-cast Craftsman drill that literally broke my uncles forearm when I was a kid. I remember it hanging limp from the skin. Ugh
Whatcha gonna do, Tyler? Hang it by its cord from the pendant light fitting in his bedroom, rigged up to the door with a trip wire style mechanism, so that when he opens the door into his bedroom it swings down and smashes him in the face? Or rig up the trigger switch so that it sends 110v through his 5 year old body. The beauty of that is that his muscle spasms keep him gripping the tool until you decide to unplug it. What fun that would be watching him juddering around in circles with his eyes bulging, chewing on his tongue and a widening stain appearing on the front of his shorts! Hahaha ... haha ... I can hardly contain myself thinking about! The only problem with that is, if he survives, you'd better watch your back for the rest of your life! Haaa, haaa, haaa, hooee!
Metabo made some phenomenal tools especially when Germany was making them. I have an old corded metabo 4 1/2 inch angle grinder made in Germany. Thing is a beast.
Dad had a Porter Cable made in the early 50's, it would spin you in a circle until you let go, or it unplugged itself. Come to think of it, I think he still has it.
My dad has/had a 90 degree drill that lifted all 300+ pounds of him off the ground until he let go of the trigger. The 6" hole saw bit got caught in an 8x8.
I've been using Makita and Hilti drills for framing und roofing work for years and always preferred them over the impact. Only time I used the impact driver was when I had to screw the rafters to the ridge without any scaffolding and only with one hand
Wow didn’t know that. When I migrated to the impact there were no drills that could do that. And I never went back. I’ve busted screws and bits with an impact. Good to know thanks
Impact drivers can break delicate screws or damage material from over tightening. Drills are great for drilling, fasteners to frail for impact drivers, and delicate work. Impact drives are great for standard 2-1/2 to 4 inch construction wood screws, drilling rough ins with a paddle bit, and lag screws.
The impact takes longer because it turns at a slower rpm as it adds the hammering action. While the drill may seem faster, on screws this long, it heats the drill up internally to a far greater extent, which in the end reduces the life of the drill and drains the battery much faster. The hammer drill is more suited for this type of work because it’s geared lower, therefore develops more torque with less current, which is why it runs slower and stays cooler.
Also, cedar is soft, you do this on treated 6x6 pine or hardwood, and it will be a different story. You’ll end up burning your perfectly good Hitachi drill up. I burned up a Makita cordless drill this exact same way.
The drill doesn't seem faster. It IS more than twice as fast. Even selecting the list gear on the drill like you're supposed to in this kind of application it will still be faster than the impact and use less current as well.
I noticed it too. But you should have said, "if you are only going to be putting in a few of those screws, the drill driver will suffice. However, the drill will heat up quick if you keep pushing it. Whereas the impact will last because that's what it's designed to do...
@@juicyjack3331neither have you. Ive been working trade for 29 years (im only 35) missed my mom’s funeral cause i had to work. I can tell when im talking to sissy liberals.
@juicyjack3331 *insert generic insult about your tool ability that we all KNOW is me just grasping-at-straws because we're all complete strangers on the internet who objectively know nothing we're saying about each other.* Just keeping the chain going. 👍
Problem is they're too big/bulky/cumbersome. they actually used to have these back in the day but became extinct for that reason that it was neither a good impact or a good drill
It would be interesting to see that just because the guts are completely different from each other.. The impact has a huge spring and plate inside its housing and the drill has gears.
Yeah exactly, this is really the main advantage of an impact. Drills are far far stronger if you’re strong enough to hold them. I often put the drill between my legs in addition to using two hands.
@@thenorthernhandyman it does vibrate but nowhere near enough to cause damage unless you're using it to drive huge nuts and bolts all day which at that point you should invest in a impact wrench to save your driver and hands. Drills harder on your wrist when screwing with them.
@JT Perez I try to just keep it simple.....impact driver when I'm screwing in screws or whatever, hammer drill for making holes. Everyone's different tho 🤙🏼
My brother is a screw engineer. He told me that the impact driver can actually weaken the screws and with time under load conditions that damage can cause the screw to fail. Always use a driver for critical structural screws
Striping screw heads is for dinosaurs. Get away from your dad's old #2 Phillips and stop being cheap when it comes to your hardware and go get yourself some Torx!
@@funkmanone Yes, there is that! Plus burning through the extra cash for those fancy screws. Regardless, I could never go back to routinely using Phillips or heaven forbid flat heads!! 🪛🤬
Never reuse the screws atleast not for anything structural. Buy 1" insert bits, and inspect them regularly, downgrade them to hand powered applications when they start to wear. Perhaps even buy the hardened ones. And use an engineered fastener.
You should never forget: An impact delivers short impulses. That energy gets absorbed by long torsion bars, like long bits or long screws. A drill applies continuous torque that won't get lost anywhere. The tension remains.
Agreed.. but I will reach for the drill first, about 80% of the time these days.. Impacts have their place and they are invaluable.. but the drill is so much quieter, and often faster
@@treyhart6861 the drill is faster but the impact driver while slower gives better control and far less likely to snap a screw or strip the head at least that has been my experience
I remember I was working demo, tearing a stage out. Battery powered sawzalls and impacts. The sawzalls guzzle power like nobody's business. Drain them instantly. We're running back and forth to the chargers, trying to just keep tools going. I give up, and decide to do what we should have done, and just dig around in glued/painted over wood to pull the screws out instead of breaking my back trying to fight over prybars. The easy way. The new guy I was working with blows up on me, saying I was lazy, hogging all the batteries. Mind you, I had not changed batteries once since I started pulling screws. This was an already spent battery. It was mine. He said he just needed to cut about two feet of board. I told him that if he could get through that two feet on that battery, I'd buy him lunch that week. The dude made it about 10 inches before the tool goes silent, and he walks off pissed. I put that thing back in my impact and immediately went back to pulling screws with whatever drops of juice were left in there. THEY JUST REQUIRE LESS POWER THAN ALMOST ANYTHING.
For the last 20+ years drills have been able to do this, but people don't tend to use gear 1 on the gearbox so they never know just how much torque a drill has. It will beat an impact on speed but will bread your screws, bits and wrists
Love my metabo set. My 7 in circular saw has a low volume setting for indoors which makes cutting in residential situations less invasive and also has auto adjusting speed on this setting to spin faster temporarily for harder cuts. Amazing stuff
I've been prehanging doors manually since I was 15 years old in the mid 90s...those kickbacks from an old school drill while opening a lock hole on a oak door were epic and I got a few bad injuries from them...still to this day with all the better tools I still respect it like I did back then.
I remember using a corded Milwaukee Magnum drill and almost broke my wrist. I was cutting holes for 4" cans. The material I was going through was plaster, metal lath, wood lath. Its a 125yr old house. The drill caught and spun with my finger stuck on the trigger and the cord wrapping around my wrist. It scared the crap out of me.
I've had this happen with 1/8" steel plate. But broke through early and got itself locked up. It didn't break my wrist, but I learned to drill with my left hand so the drill handle would get pulled out of my hand if it happened again.
I’ve had the 40v impact and drill for a month now. I’ve used the impact all month on roof screws. Love it. I used the drill last night for the first time and it’ll blow timber apart it your not careful. What a beast. I used my 18v to carefully drill the last few delicate holes in the end haha.
Thanks for the tip man. I've been doing this for 25 years and I'm 40. I have 6 drills and I rarely use the regular drills. I think it's because it's less pressure u have to use with the impact but the other is going to be my choice now. Appreciate ya
I aways used a corded drill then a few years ago I was working with another guy and he used a Milwaukee impact. I tried it and never went back. There is no comparison. The impact also seems to help butt the material together as well and it will countersink the screw clean through if you let it.
Exactly. Impact drives screws and the material together differently than a regular drill. The impact motor could drive as fast too, but the motion of the impact hammer in the driver drivetrain slows things down. I prefer impact on all my work. Everything seems tighter.
Not to make this a pissing contest, I'd say opposite, but I could be wrong, maybe it was the manufacturers tools im used to working with. And my impacts would get it out or it sheered. But I can't say I've used Makita tools much in past 10yrs maybe a dozen times, I can say back in like 05 I used a small Makita cordless and I was very impressed by its power for being so little and it was only a nickel cadium and battery I believe too..
@@bobos245 When you use a PR2 or PHR2 bit there's no problems. (Other mfg might use a different abbreviation) WAAAAY better than the old school #2 phillips bit. I'm 52 and glad I found this out 10 years ago. It's like using the mold that made the Phillips screw head. Huge difference!
I've been using my drill a lot more rhe past couple years and let me tell you...that side handle is your friend. The newest models of drills are wrist & knuckle breakers
Drills are great for most scenarios, but when you run into mixed materials in weird places, the impact will shine, especially when you can’t put your weight behind it. I had to put a screw through a window sill to mount an AC brace, but it had a storm sill on top and some other sheet metal beneath that were around 1/8” thick combined before you even hit the wood. I didn’t have the room to put my weight on the drill to push through the metal, so I brought out my impact driver and it went through instantly. The drill, however, would go through about 1/16” and dance around doing nothing. I prefer drills, but it’s definitely on a case by case basis. Both my impact and drill are Bosch and have anti-kick, which is so great to have. I remember growing up helping my dad at work and being afraid to full send screws for fear of getting my wrists snapped 😂
The difference in most scenarios is how you had to use both hands to keep the driver bit in the screw. Vs the hammer being able to lock itself on the screw.
Im dating myself but there wasn't anything more frightening than using a 1/2" electric drill on a ladder 20' plus off the ground while drilling a 1" hole through wood or steel with one arm holding ladder and the other holding the drill
I have an old corded 3/4 Makita. I still use it all the time in the shop. I don't know if I am a monster but I've never had this wrist breaking issue, even with that drill.
Still not really correct though. The makita he showed has more torque than most impacts when set to low speed. The purpose of an impact driver is… for impact applications.. to overcome the frictional forces between two hard surfaces in extreme compression.
It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.
You mean guns don't kill people people kill people, I never heard such a thing as called a bad tool, Because you can always use it for something Fishing wait boat anchor you name it
Love my Bosch drill/driver, best tool I’ve ever owned. Fell into the impact driver crazy years ago and was using them for all Kinds of tasks they weren’t really designed for and when I was gifted a new Bosch I was blown away by how much easier to was to drive screws.
I have been using, love my SPAX , torx washer headed wood screws for 20 years. I pull them out of old fences and reuse them. SPAX DA-BEST!!!! I have used small GRK screws for plywood, they snap off/break, cheap S/terrible stuff.
For any plumbers out here, just remember all the wrists & arms that were distorted while using the right angle drill!! 😂. It’s the phase of rough in we dread at times. Especially older homes!!
Oh yeah, the boxy right angle was an arm breaker. You could drill 2-9/16 on high but it was gonna kill it early. Anything on low and you best screw in the arm. We are living large with the clutched super hole hawg
Wow,I totally thought that driver was going to fail halfway through, definitely going to try one of those. I guess for me it comes down to a few factors, 1.which one drains the battery first 2.which one is more exhausting to use 3.which one is most likely to break your wrist. For me, I've always found the impact driver easier to use, you don't really have to hold it that hard ,and it just keeps digging. A drill, on the other hand, you have to hold pretty hard,plus that whole wrist breaking thing. Great video, brother 👍 thanks
So just a quick observation here, an impact driver will put those screws in all day in my experience but the drill with all that power will overheat the drill and battery in a few minutes (in my experience)
Yes cordless drill motors many times have around 3-4 times the torque of the motor running an impact driver. They eat this kind of stuff up. And yeah the anti-kickback is really the key here.
It was a joke, bro! I think I probably know more about cordless tools than you do, son, but I can't be bothered to get into a discussion with you about them. I'm a retired carpenter of 76 with about 40 years in the construction industry. There ain't much you can tell me about them! But thank you for your interest!😄
Just to add to my last comment, Bro. The SDS system is a percussion drill for various applications, such as drilling into concrete and with the rotary feature switched off, light demolition work. Special bits are used that only fit in the SDS collet system. An SDS adapted chuck is also available so that the percussion drill can be converted into using standard drill bits with the percussion feature switched off and the rotary feature engaged. A hammer drill is for drilling into brickwork and screed surfaces (sharp sand and cement morter mix). It can be used to drill into concrete provided the concrete mix is not a strong high cement content mix, but it will be hard work and the wall drill bits will wear out quickly. The hammer action can be disengaged for straight drilling. A drill/driver is a drill that is used to drill holes in metal and wood up to the recommended capacity of the drill and can be switched into screw driving mode for driving in screws. It features a variable torque system and, most importantly, a reverse mode. All three of these drilling machines feature a variable speed adjustment. Either within the trigger mechanism or as a separate adjuster control knob. Are you clear now? Can I help you with anything else? Multi tools, thicknessers, table saws ROUTERS, electric planers, biscuit jointers, pillar drills, guillotine trimmers, morticing machines, wood working lathes, disc cutters/grinders, belt Sanders, linishers, jigsaws, disc Sanders, finishing sanders, chop saws, compound saws, slide compound saws, circular saws, trimmers, electronic distance measures, sash cramps, 'G' cramps, TAPE MEASURES, squares, sliding bevels, claw hammers, pin hammers, nail guns, brick layers towels, plasters trowels and hawks, levels, theodolites and levels, chisels for woodworking and brickwork, bolsters, roofing squares, slate rippers, lead dressers, lead soldering kits, bow saws, hacksaws, sabre saws, chain morticers, chisel morticers, etc, etc, etc ,etc!

I work as a construction site supervisor and people that are hired as sub trades using impacts where they shouldn’t use impact all the time they use them on tin and therefore crushed the rubber washers on the screws that you would use which compromises them and allows water to get into the roof structure with drills you can set a torque setting for that so that you don’t crush the rubber people need to be educated on tools in their proper applications
People seem to have forgotten it’s actually called a drill driver and it’s the best thing for driving screws and bolts and you can set the torque so it it slips at the end.
It's not....My Makita uses a 5Ah battery and still had juice after over 200 5" screws.... Have also uses it on 6"+ Spax timber screws. As always...ymmv...
@@lolatmyage THANKS FOR YELLING! I COULDN'T HEAR THE OTHER GUY! ;-P TBH, my hearing was already messed up from concerts.. I'm an idiot, but it's been fun. :-)
I was using a 20 volt DeWalt drill a year and a half ago. Drilling a 2” hole through a 4x6 beam and I hut a nail. It twisted my left wrist fraying the tendons in my thumb. It has been two surgeries four pins and a tight rope wire putting my hand back together and ending my construction career.
Yep, drill drivers in solid wood would try to break your wrist but you knew they had the power to do this. Trigger modulation was key, impact drivers are easier on the joints for less money
Thing is with a drill, it's all about torque and it's there the whole time the trigger is pulled. Also it's very hard on the motor pulling a lot of power for long periods, fine for one or two or a few but continuous use it'll wear quickly. The opposite is said for impacts when 70% ish of the rotation time is just spinning the internal hammer up to speed until it hits the anvil, until that point there's little load and building energy and momentum. Yes, time is lost between impacts but chances are it'll last longer than the drill.
That 18v Metabo Triple hammer impact drill is stronger than the 18v Mikita, DeWalt, or Milwaukee impact drills. You can also put the Metabo in 4 different modes. Mikita needs to up their game when it comes to impact drills.
About 2008 i was trying to drive in lag bolts into a power pole and the drill wimped out. Coworker used an impact and it flew in. I do believe they have fixed that now.
I like to think everyone has some bittersweet memories of a big red corded Milwaukee that tried to snap their wrist.

Hundred bucks says they'll come out with a drill that can be an impact with the flip of a switch. That's where the money is
I bought a makita in 2006, 3 way switch from drill, impact and hammer.
Problem is they're too big/bulky/cumbersome. they actually used to have these back in the day but became extinct for that reason that it was neither a good impact or a good drill
@@spiggot01 the hammer selection on your drill is totally different from a impact hammer drill. Every tool has its purpose.
It would be interesting to see that just because the guts are completely different from each other.. The impact has a huge spring and plate inside its housing and the drill has gears.
@@Papalegba22, how does the switching drill accomplish the hammer function, if not the same as an impact?
the carpenter knows how to drill the wood, absolutely amazing!
You can do an impact one handed, the drill definitely needs two
Maybe the anti kickback makes it possible to hold with one hand?
Maybe you just need bigger wrists. Lol
Yeah exactly, this is really the main advantage of an impact. Drills are far far stronger if you’re strong enough to hold them.
I often put the drill between my legs in addition to using two hands.
@@jeevunvethanayagam6536 nope even with anti-kickback you have to use both hand to hold it steady! Especially with metal! Brushless motor.
@@cambodiav2.0 I see. That is good to know.
I don't mind the the impact drivers being a little bit slower, they are very comfortable to use.
So slower, louder and causes vibration damages to your hands
@@thenorthernhandyman dunno about vibrations
@@predatorysage1 well dont you realize that a impact tool vibrates then i cant help you.
@@thenorthernhandyman it does vibrate but nowhere near enough to cause damage unless you're using it to drive huge nuts and bolts all day which at that point you should invest in a impact wrench to save your driver and hands. Drills harder on your wrist when screwing with them.
@@predatorysage1 all vibrations causes damages.... small screws dont need impact, big ones are slower with impact and damages your hands
The torque from the drill has a tendency to twist and snap the screws. That's where the impact is superior. Faster isn't always better
So when is it beneficial to use a drill?
@JT Perez I try to just keep it simple.....impact driver when I'm screwing in screws or whatever, hammer drill for making holes. Everyone's different tho 🤙🏼
@@jtperez657 to make a whole....
@@jtperez657 When you are drilling a hole
@@ponderin lol. A whole what?
My brother is a screw engineer. He told me that the impact driver can actually weaken the screws and with time under load conditions that damage can cause the screw to fail. Always use a driver for critical structural screws
We use drills too. Headache prevention being the main reason
I haven’t used my impact driver in years for that very reason.
It must be using the impact all day that makes for headache, hard go.
yall never heard of the surge i guess?? best of both worlds its a quiet impact
@@jboy856 surge has way less power than a regular. not suitable for heavy work like this.

@@williamrodriguezmswlcsw8119 Pffft go with Robertson bits.
Never reuse the screws atleast not for anything structural. Buy 1" insert bits, and inspect them regularly, downgrade them to hand powered applications when they start to wear. Perhaps even buy the hardened ones. And use an engineered fastener.
You should never forget:
An impact delivers short impulses. That energy gets absorbed by long torsion bars, like long bits or long screws.
A drill applies continuous torque that won't get lost anywhere. The tension remains.
When that screw starts to bind against harder wood the impact driver is the best option
The best option at snapping the head of yeah.
Agreed.. but I will reach for the drill first, about 80% of the time these days..
Impacts have their place and they are invaluable.. but the drill is so much quieter, and often faster
@@treyhart6861 the drill is faster but the impact driver while slower gives better control and far less likely to snap a screw or strip the head at least that has been my experience
Are you the the framer who keeps splitting my hard wood installs?
@@thmsvrgs lmfaoo
That new Makita is a BEAST ! I have theset combo and like DAM !!!! . Im a Milwaukee tool guy but Makita hit the nail on the driver
Big thing to remember is that the point of the impact was to reduce felt torque. That torque is terrible for your wrist and elbow overtime.
Drill drivers in this case are also harder on the battery. Impacts arent as hard.
Don’t tell them about physics they just care about the results
I remember I was working demo, tearing a stage out. Battery powered sawzalls and impacts.
The sawzalls guzzle power like nobody's business. Drain them instantly. We're running back and forth to the chargers, trying to just keep tools going.
I give up, and decide to do what we should have done, and just dig around in glued/painted over wood to pull the screws out instead of breaking my back trying to fight over prybars. The easy way.
The new guy I was working with blows up on me, saying I was lazy, hogging all the batteries.
Mind you, I had not changed batteries once since I started pulling screws. This was an already spent battery. It was mine.
He said he just needed to cut about two feet of board.
I told him that if he could get through that two feet on that battery, I'd buy him lunch that week.
The dude made it about 10 inches before the tool goes silent, and he walks off pissed.
I put that thing back in my impact and immediately went back to pulling screws with whatever drops of juice were left in there.
THEY JUST REQUIRE LESS POWER THAN ALMOST ANYTHING.
Wow good to see drills are back in the tool bag. I remember when impacts/hammer drills were the only ones to get the heavy stuff done
For the last 20+ years drills have been able to do this, but people don't tend to use gear 1 on the gearbox so they never know just how much torque a drill has. It will beat an impact on speed but will bread your screws, bits and wrists
I don't
Love my metabo set. My 7 in circular saw has a low volume setting for indoors which makes cutting in residential situations less invasive and also has auto adjusting speed on this setting to spin faster temporarily for harder cuts. Amazing stuff
I've been prehanging doors manually since I was 15 years old in the mid 90s...those kickbacks from an old school drill while opening a lock hole on a oak door were epic and I got a few bad injuries from them...still to this day with all the better tools I still respect it like I did back then.
I’ve always been a Makita girl and having respect for power tools is key to avoid injury
I think I have your poster .
I remember using a corded Milwaukee Magnum drill and almost broke my wrist. I was cutting holes for 4" cans. The material I was going through was plaster, metal lath, wood lath. Its a 125yr old house. The drill caught and spun with my finger stuck on the trigger and the cord wrapping around my wrist. It scared the crap out of me.
I’ll never use a corded drill again! Even for 1/2” stuff like big hole saws and mixers…battery powered drills are definitely better!
You make history come alive.
I've had this happen with 1/8" steel plate. But broke through early and got itself locked up. It didn't break my wrist, but I learned to drill with my left hand so the drill handle would get pulled out of my hand if it happened again.
@@razgrizbird4562 that's a good idea. But might the drill fall down?
Stop being little girls, grab the drill properly with both hands and own that wrister twister.
I like my impact as it resets itself in the screw head constantly, while a drill has a much higher likely hood of stripping it out.
I’ve had the 40v impact and drill for a month now. I’ve used the impact all month on roof screws. Love it. I used the drill last night for the first time and it’ll blow timber apart it your not careful. What a beast. I used my 18v to carefully drill the last few delicate holes in the end haha.
Thanks for the tip man. I've been doing this for 25 years and I'm 40. I have 6 drills and I rarely use the regular drills. I think it's because it's less pressure u have to use with the impact but the other is going to be my choice now. Appreciate ya
I've had that same Makita 40v drill for a while now and that thing is a beast. I've done anything that challenges it.
Harry left the Royals to become a chippy! Top lad! 😂
That's it, I'm calling the cops.. UNCALLED for PAL
I aways used a corded drill then a few years ago I was working with another guy and he used a Milwaukee impact.
I tried it and never went back.
There is no comparison. The impact also seems to help butt the material together as well and it will countersink the screw clean through if you let it.
Exactly. Impact drives screws and the material together differently than a regular drill. The impact motor could drive as fast too, but the motion of the impact hammer in the driver drivetrain slows things down. I prefer impact on all my work. Everything seems tighter.
When the impact can't get the screw out again, the drill usually can
Not to make this a pissing contest, I'd say opposite, but I could be wrong, maybe it was the manufacturers tools im used to working with. And my impacts would get it out or it sheered. But I can't say I've used Makita tools much in past 10yrs maybe a dozen times, I can say back in like 05 I used a small Makita cordless and I was very impressed by its power for being so little and it was only a nickel cadium and battery I believe too..
remember to use hearing pro when using an impact, especially if you’re framing. 110 db with permanently damage your hearing
It's the pressure you need to apply with a drill compared to a impact...makes me like the impact
Not really cedar the pressure is about the same now drilling or impacting into spruce or yellow pine you are going to want an impact

I've been using my drill a lot more rhe past couple years and let me tell you...that side handle is your friend. The newest models of drills are wrist & knuckle breakers
Drills are great for most scenarios, but when you run into mixed materials in weird places, the impact will shine, especially when you can’t put your weight behind it.
I had to put a screw through a window sill to mount an AC brace, but it had a storm sill on top and some other sheet metal beneath that were around 1/8” thick combined before you even hit the wood. I didn’t have the room to put my weight on the drill to push through the metal, so I brought out my impact driver and it went through instantly. The drill, however, would go through about 1/16” and dance around doing nothing.
I prefer drills, but it’s definitely on a case by case basis. Both my impact and drill are Bosch and have anti-kick, which is so great to have. I remember growing up helping my dad at work and being afraid to full send screws for fear of getting my wrists snapped 😂
I find that the impact helps me in tight places where I can’t put a lot of force behind the drill.
@@juanloza3451 I like tight spaces to drill with full force.
The difference in most scenarios is how you had to use both hands to keep the driver bit in the screw. Vs the hammer being able to lock itself on the screw.
Im dating myself but there wasn't anything more frightening than using a 1/2" electric drill on a ladder 20' plus off the ground while drilling a 1" hole through wood or steel with one arm holding ladder and the other holding the drill
Nightmare fuel! Brings back memories I’d have preferred to forget. So much for my good night’s sleep!
I'm sure there's someone out there for you ❤
I have an old corded 3/4 Makita. I still use it all the time in the shop. I don't know if I am a monster but I've never had this wrist breaking issue, even with that drill.
People forgot that impacts are for something you need to impart a lot of torque on.
Yeah, alot of people don't understand the purpose of their tools. They ought to be given a hammer for everything they do...
Still not really correct though. The makita he showed has more torque than most impacts when set to low speed. The purpose of an impact driver is… for impact applications.. to overcome the frictional forces between two hard surfaces in extreme compression.
Everything.
Even that is oversimplifying the difference between impacts and drill-drivers
impact drills exist for purpose of saving our wrists, drill drivers offering more torque

Love my Bosch drill/driver, best tool I’ve ever owned. Fell into the impact driver crazy years ago and was using them for all
Kinds of tasks they weren’t really designed for and when I was gifted a new Bosch I was blown away by how much easier to was to drive screws.
I love seeing a carpenter who is blessed to have all his fingers still. 👍
I have been using, love my SPAX , torx washer headed wood screws for 20 years. I pull them out of old fences and reuse them. SPAX DA-BEST!!!! I have used small GRK screws for plywood, they snap off/break, cheap S/terrible stuff.
I use my drill as an impact too. And then my impact has a drill chuck on. They literally switched roles
So you use the drill chuck adapter on an Impact?, and what do you use the regular drill for? Genuinely curious if I'm missing something special
Not kidding about that kick back. I was tile busting a chimney once and the tool got stuck and almost threw me off the roof. I don't miss that at all!
Been doing same with 18v makita for a few years. Didnt have impact onsite and tried the drill. Hey! This is better. Def sinks the head as shown too! 🎉

Wow,I totally thought that driver was going to fail halfway through, definitely going to try one of those. I guess for me it comes down to a few factors, 1.which one drains the battery first 2.which one is more exhausting to use 3.which one is most likely to break your wrist. For me, I've always found the impact driver easier to use, you don't really have to hold it that hard ,and it just keeps digging. A drill, on the other hand, you have to hold pretty hard,plus that whole wrist breaking thing. Great video, brother 👍 thanks
Noticed your wrist kicked at the end! 😂😂 kinda contradicted the “ No Kick Technology “ … hilarious 😂😂
Yeah, it looks like it lagged a bit, took a second to kick in but stopped after a bit.

So just a quick observation here, an impact driver will put those screws in all day in my experience but the drill with all that power will overheat the drill and battery in a few minutes (in my experience)
Yes cordless drill motors many times have around 3-4 times the torque of the motor running an impact driver. They eat this kind of stuff up. And yeah the anti-kickback is really the key here.
Most of the mass timber screw manufacturers don’t permit the use of impact drivers to install their screws. Check the manufacturer’s tech data sheets.
Sounds like bad engineering.
Very recently I watched a coworker shatter his nose with an M18 Milwaukee drill due to kickback.
That's why they're called 'impact' drills!😄

Just to add to my last comment, Bro.
The SDS system is a percussion drill for various applications, such as drilling into concrete and with the rotary feature switched off, light demolition work. Special bits are used that only fit in the SDS collet
system. An SDS adapted chuck is also available so that the percussion drill can be converted into using standard drill bits with the percussion feature switched off and the rotary feature engaged.
A hammer drill is for drilling into
brickwork and screed surfaces
(sharp sand and cement morter mix). It can be used to drill into concrete provided the concrete mix is not a strong high cement content mix, but it will be hard work and the wall drill bits will wear out quickly.
The hammer action can be disengaged for straight drilling.
A drill/driver is a drill that is used to drill holes in metal and wood up to the recommended capacity of the drill and can be switched into screw driving mode for driving in screws.
It features a variable torque system and, most importantly, a reverse mode.
All three of these drilling machines feature a variable speed adjustment.
Either within the trigger mechanism or as a separate adjuster control knob.

I work as a construction site supervisor and people that are hired as sub trades using impacts where they shouldn’t use impact all the time they use them on tin and therefore crushed the rubber washers on the screws that you would use which compromises them and allows water to get into the roof structure with drills you can set a torque setting for that so that you don’t crush the rubber people need to be educated on tools in their proper applications

Should have used a Ryobi... Lol.!
But that sux you got jacked up though.
So would an impact driver have prevented this injury?
Never had any issues with wrist snapping and the drill drove it in faster so I think I'll stick with it.
The thing is it matters what impact you use, I personally would like to see the same thing but with a milwaukee impact
Let's see a demo over your head on a 10' ladder one handed and I don't mean a off demo.
Impacts will Destroy your joints don’t push hard let the tool do it.
Yep, drill drivers in solid wood would try to break your wrist but you knew they had the power to do this. Trigger modulation was key, impact drivers are easier on the joints for less money
I never understood that. It had a lil.kick but not anything that would hurt me. The bit breaks first on my drills
Thing is with a drill, it's all about torque and it's there the whole time the trigger is pulled. Also it's very hard on the motor pulling a lot of power for long periods, fine for one or two or a few but continuous use it'll wear quickly.
The opposite is said for impacts when 70% ish of the rotation time is just spinning the internal hammer up to speed until it hits the anvil, until that point there's little load and building energy and momentum. Yes, time is lost between impacts but chances are it'll last longer than the drill.
Just by using Makita you elevated your professional status to 300 degrees above average.
No he didnt. People complain about tools as if almost all of them dont last forever
True, It's just a satire comment, i personally use Bosch and never even owned a Makita.
That 18v Metabo Triple hammer impact drill is stronger than the 18v Mikita, DeWalt, or Milwaukee impact drills. You can also put the Metabo in 4 different modes. Mikita needs to up their game when it comes to impact drills.
