What Jobs Are DeWalt Impact Drivers Best At?

Driving long screws into timber without pilot holes, making them ideal for decking or studwork.
Tackling tough materials like hardwood or metal sheeting with ease, thanks to their high torque output.
Quickly assembling flat-pack furniture or kitchen units, saving time and effort on site.
Working in tight spaces where a regular drill won't fit, thanks to their compact design.

Choosing the Right DeWalt Impact Driver

Picking the right DeWalt impact driver is about matching it to your specific job needs and site conditions.

1. Voltage Options

If you're handling heavy-duty tasks, go for the 18V models. For lighter work or tight spaces, the 12V might be more suitable.

2. Brushless vs Brushed

For regular site use, the brushless models provide longer battery life and less maintenance. Brushed models are fine for occasional use.

3. Kit or Body Only

If you already have compatible DeWalt batteries, the body-only option saves money. Choose the kit for a full setup including battery and charger.
