How to Choose and Use a Drill and Impact Driver | Mitre 10 Easy As DIY

A Drill and Impact Driver are the most useful tools you’ll own, and will help you out on a variety of jobs from simple maintenance to large building projects. Here’s what to look out for when purchasing one, and how to use it safely.

They may look similar, but both are used differently. An impact driver is solely used for driving in screws and coach screws, and a drill is used primarily for drilling holes – although most drills can also be used to drive in screws.

    I’ve only just subscribed after watching the DIY retaining wall video. The very next video I see, this one, is *exactly* the answer to why I was scratching my head this morning.

    This site is gold.

    Cheers.

    Thank you for posting this. My dad taught me how to use tools when I was a kid but after many adult years not needing to use them I’ve forgotten. Now I need to use tools often and want to do repairs around the house. I need these videos. Please do many more!

    Scored a Hikoki impact driver for $50 off Trade Me (it was an ex-display model sold by a company) then went to Mitre10 and got a battery and charger for $250 (the same one in the clip) so $300 all up.

    Who agree with me that DeWalt and Makita are the best drills

    My DeWalt has out performed all others I have ever owned, combined.
