dewalt impact driver 560

Dewalt 20v Max* Xr Brushless 1

Impact-driver bits have to withstand the tremendous torque of the tool. Because of this, they are made of metal with a bit more flexibility than regular bits, which are prone to shattering if used in an impact driver. Impact-driver bits also have a slightly narrower shaft than regular bits, and the end of an impact-driver bit is hexagonal in shape, unlike the rounded end of most regular bits. Not only a great combination kit that includes an impact driver and drill, it is also one of the most affordable options around. One way to tell them apart is to picture the fixings they’re used with.

Unlike many drill/drivers, which often do have torque settings, impact drivers are mostly an all-or-nothing tool. The DEWALT DCF885C1 impact driver is a great option for anyone looking for a first-time or replacement power fastener. The driver head also includes three LED lights for illuminating the space you are working on. Like a power drill, an impact driver is a handheld tool primarily used to drive screws.

Using a right-angled head, rather than the typical straight-angled design, this impact driver allows you to get past obstacles and into cramped areas more readily than standard options. Other than the right-angle bend in the head, however, the power tool is a typical impact driver capable of delivering up to 600 inch-pounds of torque for secure fastening. For anyone starting from scratch with a new impact driver, the Makita XDT131 Kit will give you everything you need to handle most fasteners. The 18-volt impact driver delivers up to 1,500 inch-pounds of torque, has two speed settings, and comes with one of Makita’s interchangeable batteries and charging stations.

We’ve been in business since 2008 covering tools, writing reviews, and reporting on industry news in the construction, automotive, and lawn care industries. Our Pro reviewers work in the trades and have the skills and experience to know whether tools can perform well in the field. Ever check out a “review” site and you can’t tell if they actually tested the tools or if they’re just “recommending” the Amazon top sellers? We won’t recommend anything unless we’d actually use it ourselves and we don’t really care who the primary retailer is.
