By Aaron Henderson TRUSTWORTHY Support I bought a home about a year ago with my family, and have since been finding many projects to keep our home running smoothly. For Christmas last year, it was time to replace my older cordless drill/, and I found a great deal on a DeWalt Drill/Impact Driver combo kit. I had never used an, but had seen them used and was interested in getting one for my own tool collection. This compact, powerful tool works like a miniature gun that mechanics use to quickly unscrew the lug nuts holding wheels on cars and trucks. The philosophy is simple and direct: apply small, rapid hammer blows to the act of removing tough, tight fasteners, and the work takes less time.

In this case, the idea is used to drive wood screws much faster and more powerfully than a regular drill-type screwdriver. My first tests of this were simple and light-duty. I installed a heater on the wall of the garage. The quickly sank the.

three-inch wood screws into the wall studs, and the heater now hangs in my garage ready to keep it warm another winter. Next, I used the with a 1/2-inch socket adapter and impact sockets from my pneumatic impact gun to loosen and remove rusty bolts from my children’s basketball goal when I had to replace the backboard. Again, the impact driver made quick work of the long-rusted hardware, and I was able to shoot hoops within the hour. Next, I used the impact driver to rebuild the wood gate on our backyard fence. This was a combination of driving 3 1/2 inch screws into treated wood, and driving larger lag bolts (like giant wood screws with a hex-bolt shaped head) into treated wood. The impact driver helped me quickly replace the gate, and our fence looked like new again. The big test came around Memorial Day, when we remodeled the first floor of our house.

Among other projects, we replaced the carpet and hardwood floor, primarily so that I could fix all. the squeaks that had developed in our floors since the house was built 12 years before. I bought a large bucket of 2 1/2 inch screws to secure the floor decking (tongue and groove plywood) to the 2X12 floor joists to get rid of all the squeaks. I used the impact driver to drive screws the length of the floor joists, every six inches of their length, over the entire 927 square feet of our first floor. All the squeaks are gone, the house looks great, and the impact driver never complained.

The standard battery would last about 75 screws being driven in as quickly as possible, and the XRT (Extended Run Time) battery would last about 150 screws. Keep in mind, these were 2 1/2 inch long Torx-drive screws being driven in fast, pulling the floor decking down tightly to the subfloor. Also, because I was working in sections and quickly, the impact driver housing’s metal parts would get uncomfortably hot, and I would stop to let it.

cool down while I worked on another area. In all other jobs I have used this impact driver on, I have never had over-heating or short battery life issues whatsoever. I was asking this driver to do a lot of hard work over a short amount of time. I have many other projects this impact driver will be used for.

The fence around the back yard is now 13 years old, and the nails that the contractor used to assemble it are getting loose. So I will screw the boards into place instead. Our deck developed some very warped boards in this past summers hot and dry days, so I need to replace or re-secure those. The kids playhouse was not assembled squarely by the previous owner, so I need to partially disassemble and correct that. This DeWalt impact driver is one of the best tools I own. I am very happy with my purchase, and have recommended it to friends and coworkers who have projects that need a strong, easy-to-use screwdriver.
