Impact Drivers & Screwdrivers

Designed to power through screwdriving tasks with relative ease, impact drivers are a specialist power tool. Just as an impact drill gives you extra power for boring holes, impact drivers use the same hammering mechanism for driving screws and other fasteners into surfaces. They can also drill holes, leading to their confusion with impact drills. However, impact drivers are designed for screwdriver bits and use more rotational force than impact drills. That means you can drive large screws into wood and other materials in seconds. They are compact, lightweight and easy to use.

How Do Impact Drivers Work?

The high-torque impact mode of these tools enables them to drive screws and holes with increased speed and force, separating them from standard drivers or drills. Impact drivers have become a go-to power tool for professional tradespeople, particularly woodworkers, carpenters, joiners, plumbers and electricians.

Cordless Impact Drivers

Cordless impact drivers offer maximum portability and freedom of movement. Thanks to the latest batteries, there are fewer issues with reduced power and performance in modern cordless impact screwdrivers. You’ll find a wide range of impact screwdrivers at Toolstation from leading brands such as DeWalt, Makita, Festool, Draper, Einhell and Bosch.
