Impact Drivers & Wrenches

Impact tools use an internal hammering mechanism to generate additional force when drilling holes, driving or removing screws and wrenching or unfastening bolts. Each of these tasks has an appropriate tool: an impact drill, impact driver or impact wrench. If you’re a busy professional tradesperson or keen on DIY, you’ll want the right tool for the job.

What Is the Purpose of Impact Drivers?

Impact drivers secure and remove screws. With lots of power and torque in their light, compact design, they can drive large screws into different surfaces in seconds or create holes like a drill. Their main advantage is the extra power generated by their hammering action. If you regularly use a screwdriver in your work, a high-powered impact driver could save you a vast amount of time and labour.

What are Impact Wrenches Used For?

These tools, often referred to as an impact gun, use a hammering action to create impact when tightening or loosening nuts, bolts, screws or other fastenings. Impact wrenches are even more heavy-duty than impact drivers, with greater torque. Choose an impact driver for building with wood, changing tyres, laying flooring and decking or installing plywood subflooring.

At Toolstation, our range of power tools includes an extensive selection of impact drivers and impact wrenches, including cordless models. Find your next DeWalt impact driver here, along with many other trusted brands such as Draper, Milwaukee, Makita and more.

 

Selecting the Right Impact Driver, Wrench or Drill

Consider these product features and characteristics when choosing your next impact driver or wrench: 

  • Torque & speed (RPM) - higher torque for demanding tasks
  • Drive type / bit interface - ¼″ hex hex collet, ½″ square drive, socket vs bit compatibility
  • Power source - cordless (battery), corded, or pneumatic
  • Motor type - brushed vs brushless (efficiency, lifespan)
  • Size / weight / ergonomics - for overhead or tight space work
  • Clutch / torque control - variable torque settings or modes
  • Build quality & durability - metal housings, overload protection, cooling vents
  • Compatibility with accessories - extensions, socket sets, adaptors
  • Runtime & battery / power efficiency
