The 20V MAX Brushless Cordless 1/4 in. Impact Driver is engineered to be lightweight and powerful without compromising performance. The brushless motor delivers up to 1,700 in-lb. of torque and up to 3,200 RPM for driving large-diameter screws. Maintain productivity in low-light spots with a 3-LED on-board work light that illuminates dimly lit workspaces. The 20V MAX Brushless Cordless 1/4 in. Impact Driver is engineered to be lightweight and powerful without compromising performance. The brushless motor delivers up to 1,700 in-lb. of torque and up to 3,200 RPM for driving large-diameter screws. Brushless motors operate without friction, leading to a number of benefits: more power going to the tool, precision motor and power control, more battery run time, less heat generated during use and a longer-life battery. Brushless tools also require less maintenance. An impact driver has a collet that accepts 1/4-inch hex shank driver bits—to insert or release a bit you pull the collet forward. An impact driver is specifically designed to drive screws and bolts that would otherwise stall out a cordless drill. It does this by using concussive force to drive a screw into wood.
An impact driver is especially good for uses like driving 3-inch screws into wood, a task that is difficult for a drill even with pre-drilling the hole. Impact drivers excel at driving fasteners into dense or knotty wood. You’ll also want to use an impact driver for machine bolts or lag bolts. This compact and powerful Brushless Impact Wrench is ideal for tightening or loosening hard to remove nuts and bolts. With 10 impact sockets to suit a range of common bolt and wheel nut sizes, this kit is perfect for fastening tasks such as driving coach bolts into hard timbers or automotive applications. A brushless DC motor (BLDC) is a type of motor without the brushes and commutator (explained further), that makes them lighter and more durable in high torques. You can find brushless motor not only in handheld power tools but also in vehicles.
An impact driver is a type of cordless drill driver, but instead of a standard 13mm chuck, it features a 1/4” hex bit holder which grips small screwdriver bits. They’re all about hi-torque, coupled with high levels of impact. The M18 FUEL 1/4″ Hex Impact Driver offers up to 55% faster application speed, and a range of 200 in-lbs to 1600 in-lbs of torque. Its compact size and weight allow access to tighter areas and reduce user fatigue. The built-in LED light illuminates work surfaces in dark locations. Whether you’re adding a drill/driver kit or an impact driver kit (or both) to your tool box, there are features that can make your work easier: Brushless motors offer longer runtimes, more power and less maintenance. A brushless drill or brushless impact driver will require less maintenance and tends to last longer.
