  • DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAMMER DRILL DRIVERS & IMPACT DRIVERS (Ultimate Guide Tips and Tricks) In this video we explain to the #verycoolgang the big difference between Impact Drivers and Hammer Drill Drivers and which one would be the best for your needs. A traditional drill driver comes with a 1/2'' chuck which is one of the main differences from an impact drivers 1/4'' collet and we explain all the differences in this video! Nowadays these new power tools have a lot of technology built into them, like Bluetooth to connect a tool to your phone! We also give you some tips and tricks when using these two different tools and we explain how to determine which battery you should use and will need. Please make sure too leave anymore tips and tricks down in the comments section below and be sure to share this video with someone you know who could use this ultimate guide! If you learned something new let us know about it in the comments section below.

      @jmackinjersey1 4 роки тому +6

      If it has the little cut around the end of the hex and is rated as an impact bit. I've seen hex shaft bits used in impact drivers not only fall out, but also twist or even shatter, because they are not designed to be used in an impact.

  • @Borescoped
    @Borescoped 4 роки тому +13

    Regarding drill bits in an impact driver: they aren’t made all the same. Some are impact “ready”, meaning they are 1/4” hex shanked, to fit into an impact. Other drill bits are impact “rated”, meaning not only are the 1/4” hex shanked, but the manufacturer of the drill bit intends for the user to be able to use them in an impact driver if the user wants to, and that the bit should be able to handle being impacted by the tool.

    I grew up in residential construction. My Dad owned an electrical company and we wired up a lot of nice homes that were fairly big. Before 60 my Dad had blown out both his shoulders and had both replaced. Hardest working man I ever met. I can't agree more with what he says about tool weight and saving your body!

  • @Griffers211
    @Griffers211 4 роки тому +3

    Just an FYI the reason they say don't drill with in impact has more todo with the material the bit is made from and not being an impact grade metal. With soft woods it is probably not a big deal. But harder woods, metals, and so on you could crack or shatter drill bits in an impact over a drill. And that's from the constant impacting that is taking place. And I've asked manufacturers why they put the 1/4" end on drill bits, and the normal answer I get is that's what sells. Just thought I'd share what I found in my years in the tool trade. Otherwise great video love watching. Go Dewalt!

    First off I'd like to say a damn good video! I just watched on another channel a video stating drilling is best left to the drill but after watching your very explicit demonstration I agree with your video the impact driver with the correct impact drilling bit is a much better option and easier on the body. Plus I appreciate the tips and tricks you gave on how to remove a screw that has a stripped head and how to use a screw as a drill bit - That's what I call real 🌎 world construction 😎👍 knowledge.

    simple tip I learned the hard way when I was an apprentice. I'm sure most will say I was obvious but never put your head close enough to the drill where in the case of bind up like it did to Nick it knocks you off a ladder . Sounds stupid but there's plenty of situations where you can end up learning this the hard way.

    Coming from a background in concrete rework; core drilling, big hydraulic concrete sawing, diamond wire sawing etc, my fav love tool maker and company is Hilti. But having to quit because of an accident, these days it's mostly Milwaukee for me. Top shelf power, build, very good quality, for what just a few years ago was midrange prosumer priceclass. After a severe accident, my work now is microsoldering. There my fav brand is very much in the same vein (top quality and performance for prosumer price; Hakko).

Huge fan of Kobalt stuff...will be ordering the new $399 (!) 5 piece XTR combo kit with rolling case, when it becomes available for shipping online. Just wanted to mention for folks that may be new to how impact drivers work, that the impact is in the rotational direction of the fastener, whereas the impact with a hammer drill is straight ahead, in line with the bit.

    Thanks Nick. You mentioned 4Ah battery v 1.5Ah and said always get the bigger battery. Ok I partly agree, but there is a big benefit to the smaller batteries too, they are dirt cheap on ebay because everyone wants bigger.
    I used to be a fit guy too but age and a bad heart have caught up with me, i just work around the house now, the smaller batteries are half the weight. If im on a bigger job I have some 4Ah or i just swap out the battery each time I have tea, if your battery runs flat your not drinking enough tea. You tell us how much easier the impact is weight wise, please give this a mention. I got an XRP drill and the 3 speed impact from dewalt, love them so I brought the 10.8v combi set for diy. Wow small and powerful for the little jobs. Half the weight.

  • @andersonnettleship845
    @andersonnettleship845 4 роки тому +2

    In my opinion there are only 2 brands of cordless power tools that are worth buying.
    Makita and Milwaukee, both have huge a huge lineup of cordless tools and both are top quality.
    Not a fan of DeWalt after they were bought by Black & Decker and the same goes for Porter Cable. I mainly use Makita because I have a bunch of batteries and they last for years.
    The trick of marking drill bits with a marker or tape is a very old one but some people aren’t aware of it so it’s great information to pass along.
    I’ve got a few tips of my own.
    I have to install Saw Cut Detection Loops for Drive Throughs at restaurants when the original Loop fails or speaker pedestal is relocated and the “Saw Cut” needs to be 2” deep, a consistent depth makes the installation easier so I use a Lumber Crayon to mark the depth on the blade. I can easily see the mark when cutting and keep a fairly consistent depth.
    Another tip is to use crushed or pellet ice to keep hole saws cool and lubricated when drilling holes in steel (3/8” and up) or stainless steel. After drilling the pilot hole without the hole saw attached I use electric tape to close off the holes on the side of the hole saw, fill the hole saw with ice (most of my customers are Restaurants so ice is readily available) then I drill the hole with moderate speed and quite a bit of pressure. This actually cuts faster and cleaner than dry at high speed since more material is removed on each pass. My hole saws usually last for several hundred holes and I have a 1 3/8” Greenly hole saw that has probably drilled 500 holes or more in steel and stainless steel.
    The melting ice keeps everything cool and the water provides plenty of lubrication as well as flushing the chips away plus cleanup is easier than removing cutting oil before painting.
    Sure your hole saws can rust but spraying everything with WD-40 takes care of that.
    The best hole saws in my opinion are in no specific order are Greenly and Milwaukee, Lenox are also great hole saws but their thinner profile makes them susceptible to the teeth breaking off in heavy steel which really sucks.
    Also when drilling stainless steel you must drill slow with moderate pressure, if you get it very hot the stainless steel will “work harden” and you will have to move or wear your way through it which ruins the pilot bit and hole saw.

    I then proceeded to drill faster and didnt deal with a cord, and then when the studs were too close together for my drill to drill a straight hole, i switched to my impact and drilled the hole straight, he then got pissed at me for using *my impact* and *my bit* to drill because impacts arent made for drilling.

    @muddybadgers5205 4 роки тому +3

    Hole saws, auger bits, self feed forstner style bits, any quality twist bits, tile bits, paint/mud mixers, and taps are all examples of things that do not fit in an impact driver. Don't get me wrong, I love my impact drivers. But the drill with a 1/2" chuck is still the king of versatility. And in DeWalts case, the drill can also act as a work light. That being said, there's absolutely no reason to not have both.
    Now for the arguing. You guys keep saying that your impact driver is perfect for drilling holes but have proven otherwise many times. Not only is it a lot slower than a drill, you also have impacts burning up and others that can't hold onto the spade bits. That clearly shows that it's the wrong tool for the job. They also make a lot more noise which can get annoying on the job

    Great stuff, could the screw issue on the DeWalt be the massive battery that has so much torque? Try it with the smaller one.

    Oh WOW!!!!😱 I'm a mom of two, desperately attempting to fully equip my household toolbox for a quite some time...🙄 the only thing stopping me was actually not knowing which of ALL THESE power tools to get for around-the-house needs. I'm quite a bit of a perfectionist mom, i love DIY projects🤓 and i like to have all the things that one would need for all sorts of occasions (having children brings that sense of "being ready for everything" in most of us...)😂 I wanted to have everything we needed when we moved to my new apartment for when we started to set things up around the house (without having to go crazy borrowing tools). I am so glad i found this video.... Very specific, very concise and clear. Thank you so much!!🥰 The only question i have for you is this... Me, as a YOUNG old-timer, remember that the drills used to be corded, now it is almost an oddity to find any that are corded🧐. All you will find is cordless... 🤓In my book, any tool or item that uses any type of rechargeable battery, will eventually need replacing the battery that are quite expensive... Would you recommend a corded drill/driver??? Do they in fact last any longer?🤔

      I heard a story out of Australia that the average drill used for home use saw 15 minutes of use over its lifetime. I don’t know if that’s true or a tall tale, but rest assured that if you buy a quality tool, you’ll have it handy for the rest of your life. If you buy a cheap tool, same deal. For 95% of homeowners, corded tools are fine.

      @@tauseefhassan7796 15 minutes of home use???😳 Not in my house. Installing AC units ALONE will take way more than 15 minutes of use per unit. Then installing the brackets for the curtains on every window (kitchen, bedrooms, living room, etc. Installing nails on concrete walls to hang decorations, etc A corded drill has always been my best option to look for cause i got no problem using an extension cord to plug it in the wall socket. Those rechargeable batteries eventually die and to replace them you're looking at a pretty penny. Some end up buying the drill again!!🤣😂

And not that I think you would do this but try not to charge them under 40° f if you stick to that the new lithium ion batteries will last forever

    If DeWalt XR clutch setting 1 is too strong, use 2nd speed. For the same power, higher angular velocity means lower torque.

    I have a tip, but it's how to drive a screw through drywall into metal framing WITHOUT a drill. Simply take a drywall (fine threaded) screw, place it on the end of a manual screwdriver. Place the screw in the desired position on the wall with the screwdriver. Take a manual hammer and strike the butt end of the screwdriver so as to make the drywall screw puncture the metal stud beneath the drywall. Finish driving the screw with the screwdriver by twisting clockwise. Done! Not the fastest way, by any stretch, but when in a pinch it works! Thanks Nick, and God bless!😁👍

    I do not like spade bits on an impact driver. Seems to be hard on the project and with every beat of hammer pieces go flying everywhere. The board splitting has happened to me more often with the impact then the drill when using spade bits.

    I am plumber and I am 23 so definitely not an old fart but I heard ever use an impact for drill as I find an drill is a better and more efficient way of drill and in my opinion a drill is still the king and that hex shall is good as they grip better in a drill chuck that round bit that can slip out at times an impact is for screw in my opinion and a holes every ones in a while

    I prefer using drills for holes and impact drivers for screws. When I am working on a woodworking project and need to screw wood together, I would get both a drill and an impact driver ready at the Dallas Makerspace. Make pilot holes and/or threaded insert holes with the drill and drive the screws and/or threaded inserts with the impact.
