Intended Uses

Used for driving screws and bolts into wood, concrete, or metal studs. While it’s possible to drill holes with an impact driver, it is not designed to drill holes. Use the drill driver for drilling holes instead.

“Impact drivers have one main function, driving screws fast and well...Internal mechanisms allow impact drivers to produce more torque than drills, and in quick bursts. These bursts or “impacts” happen up to 50 times a second, giving impact drivers their name. They also rotate their bits in a two-steps-forward-one-step-back pattern, engaging and driving screws more effectively than drills.” (Maxwell)

Special Instructions

• Impact Drivers require specific bits that are strong enough to withstand the high torque of the driver.
