Last minute Christmas present - Impact Driver?
Here we are at Christmas Eve and I still haven't told Father Christmas
what I'd like tomorrow! I've often wondered about an impact driver. Ever since I bought an SDS drill, I've wondered how I ever managed without it. Is an impact driver in the same class? Would I be likely to use it instead of a regular drill/driver for inserting and removing all screws - or does it have limited application? Will I be more likely to smash the hell out of screw heads? According to Wiki (the regular one, not "our" Wiki) there is a distinction between an impact driver and an impact wrench - the latter providing rotary impact without downwards impact at the same time. Presumably an impact *driver* wouldn't be suitable for undoing car wheel nuts - I'd need an impact "wrench" for that? Any experiences from users of either would be very welcome. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup. Whilst email address is valid, it is seldom checked. |
