Power Drills | Impact Drivers

• What is the difference between a hammer drill and a regular drill?
• • When it comes to power tools, and especially cordless power drills, many look the same. Features and functionality will vary for hand held drill machines, like hammer drills and impact drivers. Hammer drills have an internal hammering mechanism, which is typically positioned behind the chuck. This mechanism introduces a forward and back chipping motion, that can occur very fast. Use the hammer feature when you are drilling a hole in concrete, masonry, or another solid and strong structure.

• What is the difference between an impact driver and a regular drill?
• • Drills are used to bore holes. Impact drivers are specialized to drive fasteners, such as screws, into solid materials. The impact driver will use the rotational force provided by your cordless or electric drill, and combine it with high levels of torque, to provide bursts of impact. While the best drills can also be used for rotational force, an impact driver provides that drill + driver action to give you a powerful handheld machine.
