Impact Drivers

Learn more about impact drivers

An impact driver is built for fastening work. It helps you drive and remove fixings such as long screws and coach screws, while keeping the tool compact for tighter spaces and repetitive use.

For tradespeople, that makes impact drivers a practical choice for first fix, fit out and maintenance work, where you want a fastening tool that is quick to set up and easy to keep moving with on site.

Typical uses

• Driving long screws and other fixings in first fix and fit out work.

• Working in tighter spaces where a compact fastening tool is useful.

• Maintenance tasks where you are moving from fixing to fixing.

• Fastening jobs where extra turning force is needed compared with standard screw-driving.

How to choose the right impact driver

• Choose a cordless impact driver if you need freedom of movement on site and want to work from the battery platform you already use.

• Compare brushless impact driver models if you want to review product specifications, motor type, efficiency and maintenance considerations for regular use.

• Check impact driver torque settings and impact driver variable speed so the tool suits both faster driving and more controlled fastening.

• Confirm the impact driver bit holder and drive type before you order, including 1/4 inch hex impact driver options and square drive impact driver options where they match the fixing task.

• Use battery voltage for cordless impact driver options as part of your compatibility check with the tools you already own.

• If you are deciding between impact driver vs drill driver, use the drill for drilling and the impact driver for fastening work.

Before you order

• Check whether the job calls for fastening only, or whether you also need a drill driver.

• Compare the fixing size, drive type and accessory compatibility before you buy.

• Review what is included with the tool so you know whether you need batteries, a charger or compatible bits.

• If you are unsure about compatibility, check the product specifications and speak to your local branch.
