I always knew that the 18v was for your basic small jobs! I knew that they lacked that the finishing power. You however explained it perfectly and technically sound why the IMPACT is the next step up!!! It's a finisher and closer!!! Great presentation my guy!!! 💯 ❤️!!!

Thank you so much! I am a woman who is introducing myself to electric tools late in life. I bought a "Pink Power" drill a few years ago, I don't use a drill much but Oh! my goodness, they are so much better than using screwdrivers! However, it is not a powerful drill and I am tired of having to borrow my neighbors tools so I am going to purchase myself a full power drill for myself this fall. When I look at the ads, they all say drill/drivers. What in the world does that mean. I want to thank you so MUCH for your direct, simple comparison with visual comparisons. You didn't make a video about yourself, you made it to help people understand the difference between the two tools. You didn't talk unnecessarily and wasting time. You got to the point and I got all the knowledge that I was looking for. Much appreciate you.

That was really helpful. When I bought my house back in 2015, I treated myself to a set of cordless tools and both of these were included. I never understood why there was a smaller drill in the set...now I know what it is and how to use it.

As a single, female homeowner I find your videos to be clear and concise and very helpful. I like to fix and build what I can myself to save money and save the big or difficult projects around the house for the professionals. I enjoy doing things myself to fix or improve my home. KZread and channels like yours has been a huge help answering nagging questions I’ve had as well as questions I didn’t even know to ask! Thank you for your excellent content.

This was really helpful, and addressed SO MANY questions I've had in the past while trying to do the exact things you're describing. I live in a rural area in Japan and don't have the language skills to take a DIY class on construction, so these videos are super helpful. Thank you!

So thorough, the best use of 8 minutes I've seen in a while. I've got a simple NiCd drill and was debating getting a Li-Ion drill since I 'cam out' often and battery is old, but I debated driver since I'm more of a mechanic than a woodsman. You covered everything and I think the driver is for me and to keep the drill around for the holes. Thanks!

I’ve seen drill and impact drivers advertised a lot. But just thought it was a money making thing for the manufacturers. Thank you so much for being clear and concise on their deliberate, and separate functions.

OMG!!! Thank you! I've been getting this awful pain in my wrist, my thumb, my forearm after connecting 2x4's to posts with 3" screws. I've had that impact driver in my DeWalt kit and just never used it. As someone who is learning on the go or "by the seat of my pants", you have been a godsend. Perfect explanations, thank you thank you thank you.

I’ve watched a dozen of these videos trying to explain this difference. This one was by far the best I’ve seen. Thank you!

Thanks for explaining the difference & how to use the drills. I used one for the first time when I was trying to mount some L brackets to the floor joists to add some ceiling storage. I predrilled with my drill and then tried to put the 2.5 inch screws in. I thought I was going to cry because, the screws wouldn’t go in and I was afraid to use the drill further because of damaging the screw head. I didn’t have the strength to do it by hand, (I’m a 100 lb, 70 year old female) so I asked my neighbor for help. After assessing the situation, he brought in his impact drill. I couldn’t believe the difference, I was able to finish my project by myself which had 10 more screws to do. An amazing tool & thanks for explaining how they operate so clearly. I’m going to get one of my own as I want to put some shelves in my garage.

I really didn't know the difference between a driver and drill. This was very informative. Thanks.

This is awesome! I've been researching this for about 6 months and your explanation is absolutely the best and I have a lot better idea of what I need! Thank you so much!

Good explanation of the differences between these two tools. Really good to know what a game changer impact drivers were. Their sound is ubiquitous on every build site today. Keep up the vids you're really helping this DIYer 👏

"It's like using a sledge hammer to swat a fly" immediately subbed after this. Great explanation!

I love tools! Several years ago I started buying my own....the ones I wanted, not what my husband thought I should have. I got the combo drill driver set but I never knew how or why to use the driver. I had watched lots of guys using one in their videos but never heard why or their purpose. I finally decided to figure it out, first learning curve was to learn how to use the collet! When I successfully used that driver, I fell in love with it! I'm 76 and don't have as much strength as I used to have, especially with my arms raised above my head. I have to get my shoulder behind it when needing to push. Once I figured out that driver.....Katy bar the door! Now, unless I just can't get up high enough to reach where I need to drill, I don't have to ask for, let alone WAIT for someone taller to help me out. This driver is so much easier to use and gets the job done without a lot of frustration from improper use of the drill on my part. Thank you for explaining this tool. I totally understand it all now!

Omg. I spent about 5 hours watching videos. Most go into specifics but don't just explain what to use for and showing what bits go to what. Wow. I even built a whole fence before using both for same function. This is best vid ever. Just subscribed because of this vid. I have a the Milwaukee set. Before I had a Mikita set.

Totally agree on their uses! I like using a cordless drill/screwdriver for assembling/disassembling furniture and such, like taking the legs off of a kitchen table. The reason is the drill/screwdriver has an adjustable clutch so you only use the amount of torque necessary without stripping threads or fasteners. Your typical cordless drill/screwdriver is also 2 speed, which is handy for drilling in metal. I never knew the difference on the bits, so thanks for that tip.

Hi, I have just discovered your videos and love your clear and concise style. With over 40 year's of building under my belt I am still learning, and so I still find these useful. Re impact drivers. The biggest problem with them is that it is very easy to strip out the threads, especially on smaller screws and bolts. Too many times I have come across pre assembled items where you can pull the bits off due to stripped screws. For that reason I will now install smaller screws with a smaller battery drill, or even by hand (#7 or smaller)

as a homeowner I bought one impact driver that I use for drilling holes, driving nuts also work on my cars, cleaning kitchen, restrooms. all in one tool.

The best thing I found for using the impact driver was for taking out rusted fasteners. The drill couldn’t budge them but they came out with no effort with the impact driver. That alone changed it from an unused tool to an often used tool.

Wow, this was a VERY informative video! I recently picked up a Dewalt drill & impact driver set and didn’t really know the difference until now. Thank you! 🙏🏽

One other thing: if you want to remove a lot of material with your impact driver while using it to drill, you will often quickly ruin auger and spade bits. The ratcheting torque dulls the bits _very_ quickly.

Never gave this subject much thought but wondered why so many "kits" include a drill and a "driver". Your explanation was very thorough and helpful. Thanks.

I'm a New York City apartment dweller, so virtually none of your videos are very useful for me. But I watch them because your presentations are incredibly clear and informative. I frequently hear about impact drivers in commercials and have never known what they are so I find your video on a whim. I now feel like an expert! I also loved your video on hammer drills. I never even knew such things existed, and had always assumed that a normal drill would suffice. Now I really want one to fulfill my childhood jackhammer fantasies. I have an oscillating multi-tool and assumed that if you have a thick enough blade and motor, that's how DIYers would chip concrete. But a hammer drill is clearly better. You've inspired my to explore and learn how impact drivers and hammer drills achieve their magic. I'm really curious as to the gear setup to accomplish the motion. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the really good explanation. I was just on the verge of buying a cordless drill thinking it is the same as a driver but of course I couldn't have been more wrong.

Best video I've found for detailed explanation of a impact driver.

My only tools textbook on KZread "The Honest Carpenter"... Love this guy. Respect brother. Blessings from Jamaica

Excellent description of the difference between both tools for beginners! My understanding of the operation of the Impact Driver (ID) is slightly different: When Impact Mode kicks in, the driving mechanism inside slams repeatedly against the shaft. Think of a series of short but powerful high frequency hammer strikes (impacts), only the striking is done in a rotary motion instead of the somewhat linear motion of a hammer strike. Similar to smacking a wrench with a hammer to free a stubborn bolt...only much higher frequency. As a soon-to-be-retired Woodshop teacher and avid DIY'er, I'd like to add my slightly different experience to the discussion. I often use my ID to drill holes. A cheap hex end drill set (suitable for DIY'ers) can be had at Harbor Freight. The ID is smaller and lighter hanging on my tool belt. Changing bits is quicker and easier. Lastly, I've NEVER had my ID kick over to Impact Mode when drilling holes even in hard wood, so it DOES supply the same constant torque that a Drill does. Also, when the ID kicks into Impact Mode, the RPM's at the drive end drop dramatically. This can be good or bad, depending on the situation. I like the ID for more precise depth control when driving fasteners where the depth is critical. As the fastener head approaches the surface of the wood, Impact Mode kicks in, slowing down the progress and allowing for accurate control of fastener depth for those cases where you want the screw head perfectly flush with your surface. I've found the adjustable clutch on Drills to be unreliable as a means of fastener depth control, likely due to the variances in wood density...even in the same board. I NEVER use it. With a little practice and a fair amount of hand-eye coordination, one can learn to release the Drill trigger at precisely the right moment, especially if the speed is reduced towards the end of the drive. However, on long 3" screws, the decreased RPM's provided by Impact Mode result in significantly slower progress and longer drive time...not to mention the increased noise levels! So I prefer the Drill for driving most long screws quickly. Combined with Star-drive screws, "camming out" is virtually eliminated. And for almost all fastener driving in softwoods, pre-drilling is not necessary with modern powerful cordless drills (12 volts and above). 3" Deck or Drywall screws can be driven with ease with a Drill. We all did it for years before ID's hit the market. Hardwoods are a different story! While we're on the topic, I know the Canadians love their Robertson (square drive) screws. I've tried them a few times and they were a little better at preventing cam out than Phillips head, but they still required significant downward pressure to do so. Even then, they cammed out occasionally. Torx Drive (Star) virtually eliminates the need for downward pressure to prevent cam out. They are more expensive than other screws, but so worth it! Happy building!

Try using a DEWALT, Milwaukee or Mikita and then you’ll be able to use the pressure clutch trigger to see instant results

Just found this video and glad I did. Was mounting an 80 inch TV with mount bolts for 150lbs and had this convo with my buddy. “Just use your Dewalt impact driver for the holes.” Nah I’ve got a drill. Impacts aren’t the best holes nor do I have driver drill bits. “I do. I just use mine for it all.” I said “you can but my drill is more perfect fit just drilling holes and not much if anything else.” He thought it was a waste of usage to not use it. So glad I found this to show him in detail. Great video!
