Cordless drills and impact drivers are both useful tools for a variety of projects. That being said, it’s important to understand the difference between these two tools and when you would choose to use one over the other. Keep reading as we discover the key differences between an impact driver and a cordless drill so that you can select the right one for your needs.

What is a Cordless Drill?

A cordless drill is an electric drill that is primarily used to drill circular holes. It can also help you to insert screws or other fasteners into a variety of materials. It’s ideal for creating holes, where a fast and constant spin is necessary to cut through the wood or material smoothly. A cordless drill can be used with a huge variety of drill bits and driving bits, making it a versatile tool for a variety of projects.

You’ll be impressed by its excellent performance and power supply, as well as the LED light system which makes it easier to complete tasks. The brushless motor offers a strong power source and can drive through tough materials such as bricks and concrete.

What is an Impact Driver?

Impact drivers are almost exclusively used for driving fasteners. Even though they are smaller, they deliver a lot more force than a standard drill. The main difference between an impact driver and a cordless drill is in how the two tools are engineered and how they transfer this force. While a drill just spins, an impact driver is a more complex tool that can sense resistance. When resistance increases, it activates another mode to reduce the amount of force transferred into your arm, making it easier to hold and operate.
