Dewalt Impact Driver
In 2004, Black and Decker bought rival power tool manufacturer Porter-Cable and combined it with DeWalt in Jackson, Tennessee. In 2011, DeWalt launched a line of contractors’ hand tools . Eighteen-volt impact drivers are a little larger and heavier, but also have more power, making them the better choice for projects that require large dewalt accessories screws or involve hard wood. If you take DIY seriously, you’ll find an 18-volt impact driver is the most versatile choice. Both the driver and the drill use the same BLACK+DECKER battery that is compatible with most other cordless power tools in the lineup. Any tool you can buy that will save you time and effort is a smart purchase.

While there are corded impact drivers, they are rarely used in the DIY setting. Being free of a cord means you can easily work your way down a row of screws while tackling a large project, such as erecting a fence or building a deck. Cordless impact drivers run off batteries—usually lithium-ion—and the three common power capacities are 12-volt, 18-volt, and 20-volt.
