Question 1

What is the difference between a hammer drill and impact driver?

Accepted Answer

The difference between a hammer drill and an impact drill lies in the mechanism that powers the rotational action and the types of drill bits used. The mechanism of a hammer drill results in a linear forward force, thereby combining chiseling and drilling in one tool. For an impact drill, the force is delivered perpendicular to the bit. Hammer drills have chucks, while impact drivers have a quick-release clamp. Impact drivers are suitable for projects involving driving bolts or screws in wood or metal but do not perform well for drilling purposes. A hammer drill is an excellent tool for drilling but performs well, especially for drilling into concrete or masonry.
