  If I had to ask one of my HVAC bosses about this, they’d have just called me a homophobic slur and ruined my tools lmao

  13+ minutes? Why so long for a drill vs. driver video?? OH, I see now; there&apos;s a lot to learn. Thank you Nils.

  I work in the HVAC/R &nbsp;trade, and WAY too many techs use the impact drivers, which straps out the sheet metal screws. &nbsp;I agree 100% with the fact that people need to know HOW, when and where to USE their tools.

  For cutting open that driver to demonstrate if how it works. That’s just so cool

  An impact driver will prevent stripping the heads out of screws, or help remove screws that are already a little stripped. It does a much better job at driving long screws. A standard driver might bog down or bend or snap a long deck screw, but an impact driver puts it in easily. And with much less fatigue because you don&apos;t have to push so hard to drive it. <br>It will even remove lug nuts.

  Interesting stuf.<br>To me as a Dutch guy it seems the impactdriver is amazing for the american way of building home out of wood. Big bolts driven deep in timber. <br><br>Here as a diy and brick homes it seems I never had the need for the impactdriver, but do always use the drill. From hammerdrilling concrete and stone to mount plugs and screws for a pictureframe or a tv. Drilling holes in metal and wood, &nbsp;and using the screw function to screw everything from electrical work to platserboards on the ceiling without overdriving the acrews to deep as the impact would do.<br><br>Great tools, for their own field. &nbsp;Thanks for thebgreat video.

  This was wonderfully informative. There are so many videos talking about “what’s the best brand” and “which tool to use” but they never fully explain how exactly they work and the reason you want to use it for certain jobs.

  Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words &quot;plenty of Torque&quot; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv">https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv</a> &nbsp;well I guess that&apos;s three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don&apos;t think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.

  Been in the trade for 20 years and always wondered why the impact driver battery always lasted longer than on my drill. Excellent video loved it
