Cordless Impact Drivers

Cordless impact drivers are often used for fastening tasks such as driving screws, lag bolts, or structural fasteners into tough materials like wood or metal. Their compact size and high torque output make them suitable for applications requiring repetitive or high-force fastening, including cabinet installation, framing, and outdoor construction.

An impact driver uses a hammer-and-anvil mechanism to deliver greater torque compared to standard drills, making it more effective for driving fasteners into dense materials. Unlike drills that typically use a chuck, impact drivers accept 1/4 In. hex-shank bits via a collet system, offering faster bit changes and improved bit retention.

Impact drivers are primarily designed for fastening rather than drilling. While certain hex-shank drill bits may be compatible, these tools generally do not support round-shank drill bits and are not intended for precision hole drilling.

Impact drivers are typically preferred for fastening long screws, lag bolts, or other hardware into hard materials, such as pressure-treated wood or metal framing. For general-purpose drilling or lighter-duty fastening, a standard drill may offer more versatility.

Cordless impact drivers are compatible with 1/4 In. hex-shank bits. These include a variety of driver tips, nut setters, and some drill bits, designed for quick changes and reliable performance under load.
