![]() Those adaptors available with differnet sizes as impact wrenchs sockets availabe. When we use impact driver as an impact wrench we should use impact driver to imapct wrench adptor. Impact drivers use collet for mount the driver bit and impact wrenches use impact sockets with mounting to head of the tool. Impact wrenches are short and more power due to its gear based impact mechanism. Impact drivers are a bit longer than impact wrenches. So Impact drivers use to drive screws and impact wrenches use for lug nuts works. Impact drivers use to handle 250 ft.lbs -1500 ft.lbs of torque and impact wrenches can handle 50 ft.lbs – 300 ft.lbs of torque. So impact driver toque is measured by in.lbs and impact wrench torque is measured by ft.lbs As a result of gear system, impact wrenches produce higher torque than impact drivers. But impact wrenches have gear system based impact mechanism. Impact drivers have anvil based impact mechanism. So lets see, thier mechanism, usage and tool structure. It is very important to know, whether we can use an impact driver as an impact wrench. Read More About – Is An Impact Driver Better Than a Regular Drill? – Find Out Here! Suitable Bit Sizes for Using an Impact Driver As an Impact Wrench Also keep in mind that impact drill bits can be used in regular drills but regular drill bits are more dangerous than those used in impact drivers. In fact, due to the robustness of the impact drill bits and their ability to be used even under high torque, these beers are even more secure when used with a normal drill. Therefore, hex shaped impact driver bits will be used with regular drills. But it is not as efficient as an impact driver The chuck was designed for the circular shaped drill bits and rounded ended drill bits. The regular drill like SDS drill wants circular shape drill bits. The collet was designed for the hex shape. The hex bits are used for the impact driver. Using this chuck we can use any drill bit size, which is compatible with the adaptor.ĭue to this structure, we can use an impactdriver as a drill. One of that side is hex shape and another side is with 3 jaws chuck. If we need to use a drill bit on impact drivers, we should use an adptor. We need a hammering action tool to drill this material.Īs I explained above, impact drivers use hex cross sectional bits and drills use circular cross sectional bits. We are not able to use an impact driver to drill the hardest material such as concrete, stones, bricks etc. So we can use an impact driver as a drill for soft material. But regular drills only have the rotational movements except for hammering tools. But impact drivers have perpendicular hammering action which can increase the torque of the tool. The impact driver and drill both have rotational movement. It is a real solution to use an impact driver as a drill. Suitable Bit Sizes for Using an Impact Driver As a DrillĪdaptor For Using Impact Driver As a Drill This special shape reduces the pressure on the hand of the drill bit user and reduces the problems that may arise during the installation of the drill bit. ![]() Excess heat dissipated due to heavy loading during drilling operations. This Ti-N coating on impact drill bits extends their lifespan. Therefore, it cannot be operated under high torque. But what is commonly used in drills is the circular shape. The variated drill bit cannot be used properly with an impact driver.Īnd also, the special shape of the drill bits used in impact drivers makes it possible to tighten or secure the safety screws or nuts under high torque. The grinding will change the shape of the drill bit. The reason for this special hex shape is that the drill bit is more likely to grind under such high torque, but the hex shape can be used to avoid that grinding. I think you now understand that an impact driver is used to operate under high torque. Why Are Hex Shank Bits Used for Impact Drivers? Pin detent is suitable for quick change impact wrenches and a friction ring is the safest one. Hence, those tools have higher size heads. Hence those require a higher toque than drive square. Impact wrenches use for tightening or removing lug nuts. But impact wrenches heads have different sizes. Because impact drivers are used to drive screws into drywalls, soft materials such as wood etc. Impact drivers collet size is less than impact wrench anvil size. So people may search for such tools every time. Because no brands manufacture impact driver collect size more than 1/4″ (Let me know if you know). Impact Driver Collet and Impact Wrench HeadĪs for me, I have observed in many places, that people looking for 1/2″ impact drivers, 3/8″ impact drivers etc.Īctually, this is a total misunderstanding.
