Impact Driver Deals & Offers

I just checked and still available for me. Maybe they found more stock?

I have both. Both good and most of the time I prefer the Guild as it's lighter to use. No doubt the Ryobi would be better for the jobs which need more 'oomph', but how often is that? Ryobi more than twice the price too.

Soooooo far from it.

Well I've just bought a set so thanks to the op!

Why? Not that I can recall ever needing a chuck bigger than 10mm.

Safe

Doubt it, buy yourself a cheap SDS

For fixing plasterboard, you can get a plasterboard fixing bit for the cordless drill, which attempts (albeit badly) to replicate the function of a drywall screwgun. Wouldn’t suggest anyone try fixing plasterboard using an impact driver as it will quickly punch screws straight through the paper face of the board, losing almost all of the fixing strength and hugely increasing the chance of the board coming loose of the fixing.

Impact drivers are poor,tool mine back twice and exchanged for bosch set no problems since

Think you're being sucked in by the name - drill has no hammer function, only 1.3Ah batteries and only 10.8v. Yes, DeWalt are good quality, but the Erbauer easily out-performs this.

The Powertools site also clearly tells you which models the pack includes, unlike either B&Q or Screwfix. I've bought from Powertools recently and was impressed with the service and prices.

It’s going to get cold me thinks

err, okay then :/

mine did it with no hands (highfive)

Definitely the battery? Have you tried with another battery? You will notice a difference as the 10.8v DeWalt impact (DCF815) isn't as powerful as the 18v Makita DTD146. Makita LXT 3.0Ah Batteries are around £40 new.

Thats not the point that you put across, what you said was 'Isn't it a little pointless buying a driver and impact driver?' , and I attempted to answer that question and put the point across that they are 2 different tools for different tasks. But to address your new question 'why do I want a 10.8V driver when I can do the same with my hammer drill?', there's a place for smaller, lighter drivers like I've mentioned previously, particularly when in tight spaces, or up a ladder where through prolonged use, the lighter tool will be noticeable and make for an easier job. Totally agree re interchangeable batteries, and for your average household, an 18v combi/hammer would tick all the boxes, and be useable in all tasks, couple that with a matching impact and you've covered all the basics, BUT try installing a new kitchen with only an 18v combi, you'll manage but will constantly be changing drill bits and screwdriver bits every couple of minutes. There's a reason tradesman have multiple tools for varying tasks, 10.8/12v smaller drivers for tight spaces etc, 18v combi for up top of the scaffold to save taking more than one power tool up there, 24v SDSplus for drilling into that concrete lintel, impact for removing stubborn screws and longer deck/fencing screws, but for most households its overkill, but don't knock them as 'underpowered' just because you don't see/have a need for them.

Thought of doing that, but there is an aspect of laziness on my side, but will have a look at it now you mentioned it. Thanks

Apparently it's a real help if you're doing something like building a deck with hundreds of long screws.

I needed an example which actually had a torque figure and that's all I could come-up with on account of how interfering with dead tree carcasses isn't my thing ;0 Do you even need an impact to drive woodscrews - maybe to remove em but you shouldn't need help putting them IN surely?

It's an impact driver - for screwing screws into wood, etc. It's not an impact wrench for taking wheelnuts off, etc.

Torque is "twisting force" - forces are measured using nm (Netwon Metres - metric) or lbft (foot-pounds - Imperial) The Joule is a measure of energy (in metric - for imperial see Calorie) and also "work done" which is the application of a force (see above) over distance/time Torque matters because we'd like it to break things loose - by way of example, most wheelnuts are torqued to 80-120nm - you need slightly less force to undo them (unless they're cross-threaded or rusty) but it's likely that 90nm isn';t going to release some of those (and wheelnuts are a really common use for impacts) End-of-the-day - an impact's usefulness is based on how may uggaduggas it can deliver tho - it's not the unit they use but it's the unit we need

I bought the Wickes impact driver over Easter, while it was £46. I'm a little underwhelmed to be honest, as it goes into protect mode very easily. I'd imagine that realistically, it's got closer to 90nm than 140. I've kept it though, as lets face it, I paid £46 and don't expect it to equal say a makita alternative the specs suggest it keeps up with. That and my needs aren't that great - I'm not in a related trade, I just want to occassionaly drive a load of screws easily, not day in day out. Just saying this so that people don't buy the Wickes one thinking it will be significantly better. Anyone planning to buy from Wickes should do so online, as in store it's still £69! I'll probably get flamed for this, but it seems pretty common for people to have a passionate opinion on whether a deal is hot or not, even if the subject matter isn't their interest. This amuses me no end.

Birmingham

Which store was this in?

Very cheap, and from my experience hitachi make good gear

Now at a higher price but leave on for all to see as a good deal. £199.99 Ex VAT £239.99 Inc VAT

This is a bargain as it’s the brushless kit aswell. Iv been to get mine today and the quality is top notch as always from Makita and very compact and light, ideal for my job fitting kitchens. It’s replacing the old style 10.8v Makita set which Iv been using daily for around 5 years and still going strong. Thanks for posting

Thank you for sharing (highfive)

Nope, not prime exclusive :)

Picked one up from Chester today. Think they had a couple left. Cheers op.

I bought mine a while ago and use it alongside my combi drill, i find that the screws slip less using the impact driver

Does anybody own this exact model and can say about the performance? I already have the combi drill with 2 power4all batteries and it has withstood being dropped down the stairs twice lol. The main reason I would want this is for long screws, as I've read that an impact takes out all the strain on your wrist.

Me too, great value at 60 quid!

... and price, bare tool 18v impact driver is close to £100! Bosch Power4All range is perfectly good for DIY, no need to spend more.

I've got one it's excellent for changing suspension, springs etc Saved me more than a few scuffed knuckles (cheeky) Well worth £30 in my opinion

Have seen it, not as big as my clarke but less than 1/2price...

Where does the £52.37 come from OP? Proof or it's cold! ;)

Least you could have done was to vote me hot. Come onnnnnn

Fine for wheelnuts but if you're using on suspension or crankpulley kind of stuff then ime these Lidl ones just aren't upto the task. We've been using a cheapo Clarke similar to (might actually be) this for many years and not failed us yet. It depends what you expect from it so long as you have realistic expectations for £30. Depending on what you already have they do get in 18v cordless ones which I think they were £40 last time and not much different powerwise between them iirc. Or just get yourself a decent 1/2 breaker and some impact sockets. (strong)

Bought separate for 170 cheers

Bought separate for 170 cheers man

Do you mean this? Deffo buy separately rather than a kit if you don't want the case, batteries and charger?! https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/milwaukee-18v-brushless-twin-pack-135nm-combi-drill-203nm-impact-driver-2x-5ah-batteries-33599-powertoolmate-2897833

I don't want the case I just want the drill and driver (battery's are optional as I have a few )

Is it not the case that even when the kits are on offer it's cheaper to buy separately? Especially if you don't buy the case. Could buy a bag like this instead of the case and fit a few tools in: https://www.powertoolmate.co.uk/Products/0040000a0003/EB%2FMILM18B

Bought this from Cromwell Tools ( now Zoro)for £269 delivered last summer....love it, seriously powerful tool.

Has anyone ordered from toolsense before? Mine has been stuck in the mail for 5 days now

Yes, if you mean 1/2 inch

1/2 inch drive I believe

Have these the head you would find on a standard hand rachet?
