Overview
Driving long screws and lag bolts, an impact driver delivers rapid hammering force on the fastener. This one uses a brushless motor on the LXT lithium ion platform, and the body is steel.
Torque and speed figures in a light body are the reason to choose it for framing and deck work. The limitation is the bare-tool format, since the packs and charger come from elsewhere.
Who it's for
Carpenters and deck builders adding to an existing cordless set get a driver with a high torque rating. A first-time buyer would need to add a pack and charger, which changes the overall purchase.
Pros and cons
- High listed torque
- Fast maximum speed
- Three year warranty
- Battery and charger not included
- Chuck size listing looks unusual for a driver
- Weight listing seems very low
- Metal drilling capacity limited
Performance notes
An impact driver adds short rotary hammer bursts when resistance rises, which helps drive long fasteners without the user twisting against the reaction. Torque and speed depend on the battery supplied, and a larger pack holds output longer. A brushless motor reduces wear and draws less current for the same work.
