Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" ru-vid.comUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.

@JoshuaMichail0 4 года назад

There's also, aside from all the other great points made, the advantage of having the drill with the bit you need to drill the pilot-hole and having the driver with the bit you need to drive a screw. The fact that you don't have to switch from drill bit to driving bit and back and forth so often in the same tool just makes life that much easier.

@scottroy6195 3 года назад

100% agree. The constant switching sucked.

@cjhebert94 4 года назад

I prefer impact for framing. Anything tiny, minimal fasten jobs, etc, I use a drill. On the subject of annoying sounds, I have to use a "fine tool". Dont know the proper name, that's what my father almost called in. Straight tool, electric, oscillating blade. Blades about inch and a half. Good for delicate work or small cutouts--cutting out electrical or plumbing from the frame without damaging anything. It's such a high speed whine it drives me insane. Ear plugs are a definite.

@Fekillix 4 года назад

You should look up oil impacts. An impact driver without the sound.

@dweathers56b 4 года назад

Our field crews use battery powered drills and impacts even though we have air and electricity available. No cords or hoses just makes the job site safer and more efficient.

@disklamer 4 года назад

Good point about not having cables being safer, I also feel not being wired to the mains is safer. If a cordless gets soaked or breaks, it will probably just fail, a wired tool might just decidde to put every available amp from the grid into your arm.

@afh7689 4 года назад

Just be aware that you should use bits for the impact driver that are "impact rated". Regular bits may work fine but wear out quickly, although smaller ones (like square bits) could break. The impact rated bits aren't much more expensive than regular bits, but are usually a darker color.

@Hoaxer51 4 года назад

narlycharley, get a set of nut drivers for it, get at least the 1/4”and the 5/16”. They’re great for anything with a hex head!

My son in law is a know-it-all millenial. But he IS mechanically inclined. He has used a small cordless impact driver for a few years now. He is all praise for it. But you defined it for me. Now I am considering a battery impact driver of the same brand as my battery chainsaw. Then I will have a spare bsttery at times. (I learned this with the purchase of several Craftsmsn units. But now it is time for a new brand.) Thanks Scott.

Last few days I was building a gate for a friend and were using both in reverse roles. Used hex shank drill bit in impact and torx bit for screws in the drill because I could set the clutch low using 1 1/4" screws to attach the gate slats and bang em in quick without over driving them with my impact. Worked awesome !!

@austinstubblefield9907 4 года назад

I love that you’re using Makita’s. Not fancy or flashy - just good tools.

@phychmasher 2 года назад

Thanks, I bought em as a set like you suggested. Let me just say, as a man in my late thirties whose used nothing but budget drills for my entire life... ponying up for a REAL drill/driver combo (I went with the brushless dewalt hammer/driver combo) is making me regret every other drill I've ever used. I had no idea how much I was going to love the impact driver in particular. What a difference! Quality screws (I like Spax), quality anchors (love the fischer duopower), and quality tools turn every home job into a real joy. I used to get so frustrated just hanging shelves using a $30 drill and included screws.

@klmbuilders5385 4 года назад

Yep, I love 'em both and use them together just about every day. One more tip: in reverse an impact driver will free screws or bolts that don't want to be free!

@DavidSmith-fj6fx 3 года назад

Yes, when I first got my DeWalt set a few years ago, one of the jobs was taking apart a wooden pergola the property's previous owner had built. The impact driver made short work of screws, nuts, and bolts that had been out in the weather for maybe 20 years. Great tools!

@davelaird 4 года назад

Great video! I love my impact drivers. Total game changer. Two other big advantages of an impact driver for threaded fasteners... 1. The torque applied to your wrist is far lower - no need for an added support arm like you find on powerful drill drivers. My big Makita drill has enough torque to break your wrist if you're not careful. With an impact driver you can bury a huge Tapcon screw into concrete using fingertip pressure. 2. The torque applied to the structure being fastened is far lower as well. For example, you can use an impact wrench to remove and attach lug nuts from a wheel while it is off the ground. A breaker bar will want to spin the wheel around the axle, but an impact wrench puts all of the torque directly into the lug nut and none on the axle. Note: you still need to lower a vehicle to properly torque down a lug nut, but it's nice to be able to lift a car before dealing with the lug nuts. But don't forget - wear hearing protection when using an impact driver!

@Wardropulous 4 года назад

Came here to raise the same two points. These are signficant. Taking the blade holder off and on my lawn mower with anything other than an impact driver is a major pain due to it wanting to turn. Likewise, the torque an impact driver produces is often greater than what my wrist would be able to take if the same torque was delivered in a continous fashion by a traditional drill.

@xenonram 4 года назад

Tapcons shouldn't be installed with an impact driver. There are very small pieces of concrete holding the screw in (the concrete that mates with the groves in the screw), and when you start adding percussive force to it, it tends to fail. Same happens when people use the hammer drill, that they used to drill the hole, to also drive the screw. (Albeit worse with the hammer drill than impact driver.)

@davelaird 4 года назад

@@xenonram I hadn't thought of that. Excellent point and great advice.

@Mixwell1983 4 года назад

When I first heard about impact drivers i didnt really know what they were all about. Now that I own impact drivers I cant live without it. I would also advise getting the 1/4" hex to socket adapters. They usually come in a 3 pack including 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2" so that way you can use sockets.

@fprintf 4 года назад

Working on my cars has changed quite significantly since buying the socket adapters, And since there isn't much impact from these little drivers I just use them with regular sockets without a problem. I then use the torque wrench to set the final tightness.

@Mixwell1983 4 года назад

@@fprintf yah I use the regular adapter and regular sockets also with no issue.. Ive since got a smaller sized impact socket set but still rocking the cheap harbor freight 3 piece adapters.

@reallyhappenings5597 4 года назад

Eventually I've gotten all of the above and much more. Go as you grow.

@VC-Toronto 4 года назад

I wish that decent twist bits with a 1/4 inch hex shank were not as expensive as they are. For lots of common drilling tasks, it's easier to carry these around and do the drilling with the impact driver.

@EclecticBuddha 4 года назад

I work in a steel mill and I use the heck out of mine for sockets. Almost exclusively so. The little Milwaukee fuel impact driver can do way more work than you'd think. If that doesn't do it, I generally just go for their 3/4" impact and adapt down to what I need. I've actually had that 3/4 fuel bust nuts that a 3/4 Ingersoll air impact couldn't get. It was probably a slight age issue since all impacts diminish over time but still, it's a beast and doesn't require dragging out an air line.

@xenonram 4 года назад

I remember when I got my first impact driver. (It was almost 20 years ago.) My dad pissed and moaned about it, and how I should just use the drill, until he actually saw it in action. We were attaching wood to a 2x2x1/8" (maybe 0.120") welded square tubing frame. It set the self tapping screws so much easier, more reliably, less cam out, and quicker. I've also replaced all our old 18V brushed cordless tools with 12V brushless tools. They have more power, less weight, and longer runtime than the 18V brushed tools. They aren't as good as 18V brushless tools, but I have rarely found a time that I need 18V brushless tools, even on the job. I installed 40 ¼"x3¼" Tapcons into block (drilled to full 3¼" depth in poured blocks and areas I hit the webbing) with one 2 Ah battery. One battery to hammer drill all the 3/16" holes, and to drive the Tapcons.

@vince55sanders 4 года назад

my first and only Makita BTD141 impact BDF451 drill kit from over 15 years ago still works perfect, even the old batteries are all i need to finish jobs without any frustration.

@leesuschrist 4 года назад

My first drill and impact driver was one of the best purchases I made when I first started collecting tools. Also, I completely agree that buying these in a set makes the most sense. Usually you will get the best value for your money that way.

@xenonram 4 года назад

Yeah, you can often get it for free if you look around for a deal. I got my first one for free when I bought a circ see, recip saw, hammer drill, work light dealt combo kit. (You got to pick out a bare tool if you buy the kit.) But I've gotten other free impact drivers with just the purchase of a hammer drill.

@JoshTalbert 4 года назад

Great video. I actually was explaining this to a friend recently who is new to DIY and was gifted a set by his wife. Its kinda a hard concept to understand without the physical experience of the differences. Also its great for building things that you pre-drill because you always have a pre-drill/countersink bit on the drill and a head on the driver.

@coryh8888 4 года назад

ive been an HVAC installer for 20 years now. In the early years of my career i didnt have an impact, what a mistake! Now i use my 18 volt regular drill only for drilling holes of various sizes 1"-6". And then use a 12 volt impact for everything else. I fasten ALOT of screws on a daily basis and some into very thick multiple layers of metal. Plus use it for large fasteners and anchor bolts into concrete. No more using a socket wrench. That little 12 volt impact is truly amazing and to me it seems like it has 100 times more power than a much larger drill. For sure a must have tool

Thanks for another thoughtful, down to earth, video based on real experience. I am astounded by the number of comments you got so fast. I am also a user of these indispensable tools. I agree with all your points. My only comments are that the shorter the tool is (front to back) the better and if it can hold a 1-inch bit directly so much the better. I also picked up an angle drive (90 degree) for the impact driver that can also be used with the drill for some things. Useful in tight spots. The only downside is that my wrists are not nearly as strong as the used to be.

@JohnMcGrathManInShed 4 года назад

The impact driver has a hammer and anvil the hammer strikes the anvil and slips over the top of it allowing it to rotate. Thank god for these tools I remember having to screw everything by hand when I was an apprentice Electrician, the battery revolution has been fantastic also!!

@plkracer 4 года назад

There is also a helix behind the hammer, which pulls it away from the anvil when torque is applied from the motor. :-)

I was completely blown away (a big 'A-Ha' moment) by the work my friend was accomplishing with his impact driver and screws. So much so that I went out and bought the same impact driver. It was definitely a 'buy once, cry once' moment as it didn't come cheap. There's no substitute for an impact driver when you need to drive a bunch of screws quickly and with least amount of effort.

@carlislehendersonthethird7799 4 года назад

Back when I was updating all my stuff to Dewalt 20v (On a serious budget) I started flipping them as a way to pay for them. Buying broken stuff off of eBay, fixing it and flipping on CL/FB. Took many an impact/drill apart. I’m not a physicist either but you are right on the money with how they work. I like impacts better for their feel. When sheetrocking, for example, a drill with a regular #2 Phillips will pull thru very often. You have to have some touch. Impacts are a piece of cake. Get it close and one final squeeze to set it perfectly and off to the next one. At my real job I just got a 1” Milwaukee cordless impact to replace my hydraulic version. It’s a tank. Not quite as powerful as the Hydr one but it’s stout and does the job well. It’s a game changer for my trade and it’s proof that every tool out there regardless of power source will soon run off of a battery.

@jessecrawford7390 4 года назад

I needed this video 5 years ago when I bought my first power drill. I did so much research on getting the best drill I could find, not understanding that drilling and driving are two different tasks for two different tools. I spent more on a single cordless drill than a set would have cost me, but like you said, I could only do half the work! It wasn’t until I started doing construction that I understood the difference and necessity of having both. I bet even a low quality set of a drill and impact driver would be better than spending thrice the money on a single cordless drill.

@twwtb 3 года назад

I recently bought my first impact driver to de-squeek my sub-floor. What a revelation! I was like, "where have you been all my life?" I tried using my big 1/2 inch drill. It had plenty of power. The choice was to try to pull off the screw at just the right moment, or back off on the variable speed and let it stall out at just the right moment. I didn't like either of those options. The latter seemed like it was not so good for the drill. If I didn't hit it right, I would either drive the screw all they way through the plywood, or break off the head. You are absolutely right about being able to control the set of the screw with an impact. There is very little rotating mass connected directly to the bit. That is why it can stop instantly. A good combination I found was T25 headed construction screws, any T25 bit, a locking extension and a 20v impact driver. Counterintuitively, the T25 bits lasted a lot longer with the impact than with the big drill.

I've been around tools for a big portion of my life but I can honestly say that I was the most excited when I first used an impact driver and how easily it would drive even the dullest of screws into solid wood. It was pretty rough back in the day when you'd try to drive a phillips head screw and it would slip and get stripped out and then you'd have to take it out and put in another so I thought life was good when I switched to hex heads. I've been with Milwaukee for a long time but for my personal use I got a Makita XDT13 because it came with a 3 Ah battery. Feels like I'm cheating on Milwaukee but they skimped on the battery in the kit.

Hi Scott, sound advice as allways, I have the same black and white makita set, that you showed, it's been the best money I ever spent, no more painful elbow from trying to drive big screws by hand, and yes I invested in some impact rated bits, thanks for the video , Best wishes to you and your's, Stuart.uk.

Force = Mass x Acceleration To increase force, we must increase acceleration. (Mass remains constant) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. Every time we stop the motion, and re accelerate it in short bursts, we get a high amount of force transfer to the screw. This is because the driver is changing from 0 velocity (stationary), to a relatively high velocity (the quick jolt of the driver) in a very short time. (Around 40times a second) creating a large value of acceleration. High acceleration = high force = high torque (energy transfer) Energy (Torque) = Force x Distance

When I got my first impact gun it blew my mind. After using normal drills for years and using an impacter it realy is a colossal differance. Allowing a small drill to be capable of extreme work. I can only imagine it as the same jump people seen when first switching from the old push drivers. (you know them long spiral gear things that you had to push against.) And now I recently got a tiny hilti impacter that is half the size of the usual ones. It's a little beast. I am really looking forward to seeing the next innovation that makes our lives easier. Like maybe some type of wormhole technology that just teleports the fixture into whatever material your working with. Waaaaaait just a minute........

When I got my first impact driver a while back I was surprised by how effortlessly screws can be put in with it in contrast with a drill. As for bit sets, Dewalt's black-tip bits are the best I've ever used. I've broken many other bits but never one of these reinforced bits.

I have driven multiple 10 inch and a few 12 inch timberlocks through a 6x6 ground contact rated pressure treated timber into a header. Impact Drivers are one of the most used tool in my day. 100% recommended.

With the power and versatility you get with a set like this, I've been just using my 12v Bosch set I bought for taking apart dash board to do any and all homeowner type tasks. Decking, fencing, they can do a lot for their size. 😁

One of my favorite tools is a KREG pocket hole jig. Kreg makes a stepped drill for the pocket holes that will lock into an impact drivers socket. Problem is the impact action will twist the end right off that drill. I could use just a regular smooth power drill but the length and interchangeability feature get out of hand. Milwaukee makes a 1/4 inch socket driver without the impact feature. Works great for me.

My impact driver is one of my favorite tools.. I just love the feel of working with it. It's just so freaking loud, so sometimes I find myself using the drill to drive screws just to rest my ears :D

@alexfrederick9019 4 года назад

Ended up buying screwguns just for this purpose. Screwing off decks with all the men on site pushing an impact was a terrible racket. Now it's not nearly as bad with the 18v screwguns.

i got a set, i use the impact almost exclusively. my impact has a speed controller on it so it doesn't over do the job it being used for. its great to have 1 hand free, the driver needs 2 hands if i use it to drills holes since the torque can go out of control. impact is such a time saver.
