Product Information

A: Yes, you can. In fact, impact drivers rival many cordless drills in terms of speed. The only difficulty you might face is that it’s harder to precisely start a hole with an impact driver since usually, it does not have efficient control over the low speed. On the other hand, you’ll be able to make large holes with spade or auger bits with almost no effort. Being one of the biggest and the most innovation-oriented power tools manufacturers in the world, Ryobi produces professional-grade tools at an affordable price that makes this brand a top choice among millions of homeowners, woodworkers, craftsmen, and DIYers. Ryobi tools excel in power and if you seek a truly powerful tool that will offer professional-grade performance for your driving and drilling tasks, look no further. The Ryobi One+ impact driver will cater to a number of your household and professional needs. For prolonged tool service life and flawless operation, the driver is fitted with the XR intelligent switch ensuring maximum battery protection and an aluminium front housing for efficient heat dissipation. A: It’s a common question asked by every DIYer or tradesman owning a drill driver. The answer is “it depends”. Both tools are pretty good at jobs they are meant for and everything largely depends on the projects you most often have to accomplish. While drills delivering smooth consistent torque are good for light jobs on soft and delicate materials requiring precise driving, impact drivers are specifically designed to generate twice more torque along with concussive blows to power screws through hard and dense materials and release rusty or over tightened nuts.

The first benefit to mention is that this model is one of the lightest in its class. With a battery attached, it weighs less than 1.5 kg unlike many other similar models with the weight exceeding 2 kg. The tool boasts a well-balanced design with a perfectly sized rubberized handle nicely fitting into the palm and ensuring a firm and secure grip. In the bottom, there is a sturdy metal clamp allowing you to attach the tool to the belt when you need your hands free and a magnetic bit holder to have the necessary bit kit at hand.Though there is no speed controller, you can adjust the driving speed by varying the pressure force on the trigger that gives even more precise control for some more delicate jobs. Stay with our impact driver review if you plan a project requiring tons of screws to be driven or go for cordless drills for lighter applications and torque wrenches for bolted connections. What Features to Compare There is a whole variety of repair works, small-scale projects, and tasks that do not require an immense power of 18V impact drivers yet still cannot be completed with a drill driver or a combi drill and need some impact action. These are the jobs related to driving dozens of screws, working overhead or in awkward positions, and connected with some repetitive actions or monotonous work. This is where any craftsman or DIYer will appreciate a lightweight tool ensuring fatigue-free operation. As powerful and performing as it is, the Ryobi One+ offers every convenience and ease of use. An ergonomic design with a rubberized handle ensures a comfortable grip while a lightweight body allows for long-time work without fatigue. In addition, there is a magnetized platform on the base to hold all fasteners within easy reach. Hand held impact drivers are used to remove bolts nuts screws and fixings that are seized or difficult to remove.Impact drivers appeared and became very popular in Japan in the early 1980s after the invention of an impact wrench and a hammer drill. And for a good reason since Japan is a cradle of advanced technologies and engineering innovations. The first impact driver that was eventually considered a perfect tool was designed and released by Makita, a pioneer in cordless technology. It’s the Makita 12V impact driver. Over the years, other leading manufacturers of power tools in Europe and USA caught the idea and launched their own impact driver series competing with Japanese and boosting the tool popularity across the globe.

To ensure consistent operation under any working conditions including heavy loads, the unit is made from first-class materials. It boasts a strong build and robust construction that can withstand even 2m drops retaining full functionality of the tool. The next thing contributing to the tool professional-grade characteristics is a unique Bosch Lithium-ion technology that ensures extended runtime to complete a variety of jobs without the need to recharge the battery. If you’re hunting for a superior product for mixing plaster, textures, floor paints and coating, the Silverline 600W mixing drill is the one. Benefitting from a slow start variable speed trigger to reduce the risk of the drill bit slipping and damaging the material you’re working on, the Silverline mixing drill has a multi-position D-handle and side handle to make it versatile and easy to use.
