Drill VS Impact wrench

Phantom · 11-06-13, 12:18 PM

When I moved into my house just over two years ago I purchased a Dewalt drill and impact wrench combo kit that was on sale. I use the drill all the time for drilling and to drive screws. About two weeks ago I used the impact wrench to drive some deck screws in to a bracket I made to help seal and keep the new bathroom vent in place. Do I feel stupid having waited this long to use it.

The impact wrench worked so well and took so much less work to set the screw through the three boards (2 were pre drilled) that I have now used the impact wrench 4 other times.

The moral of the story is if you have an impact wrench use it. If you do not have one try one out and you will realize why a drill is called a drill and not a screw driver.
