For those who use an cordless drill professionally or maybe just for those around the house do it yourself projects the cordless impact driver is getting more popular by the day. Some might say that a cordless drill and a cordless impact driver do the same thing.  Why would I need both?  Well I have asked the same thing. One of the first things that is different between these products are the insides. With a cordless impact driver it has an internal spring loaded cam that creates a rotating torque. This creates the force or impact that loosens the screw or bolt, for example when using it around your house it can drive lag bolts with ease that normally would make a regular drill struggle. With a cordless drill it creates a continuous in line torque. A cordless driver or impact wrench uses an internal spring loaded cam which

creates a rotational torque and gives you a very large amount of force.

Here is another difference between a cordless drill and a cordless impact driver. The drill has a lack of reactionary torque This is only experienced when using acordless drill. When using your cordless drill you may notice that you have to give a lot of pressure or force when screwing something in so you keep it from spinning out of control. It is so different when using a cordless impact driver the torque is directed at the bolt or screw so you don’t have to use so much pressure. It can easily be done using one hand, the impact driver will do the rest. You don’t have to push down on the tool, let the tool work its magic. Most of the time the size is very different too

The cordless impact driver is usually a lot more compact and light. The cordless compact drivers also allows you to fit into smaller spaces you normally wouldn’t be able to with a compact drill.  These are used very often in the wood working industry. There are always tight and hard to reach places when working on cabinets, decks and fences. So next time you are working on your home or need to fix something on your vehicle go with the cordless impact drivers.It will save you time and frustration with those hard to reach projects.
