An Impact Driver is a lightweight driver for driving screws and fasteners quickly, commonly used for decking screws, Landscaping batten screws & roofing Tek screws.
They usually produce between 180 to 300nm of torque & have a ¼” internal hex chuck that accepts a wide variety of different bit types.
An Impact Wrench is usually a bit heavier than a Impact Driver but produces much more torque.
This makes an Impact Wrench more suitable for fast and powerful fastening and loosening of nuts and bolts. Impact Wrenches are commonly used for removing wheel nuts from car tires, and fastening large construction bolts to anchor down framework, poles and other structures. Impact Wrenches usually produce between 300 to 2000nm of Breakaway torque & have a Square Anvil that accepts impact rated sockets, though it can accept ¼” hex bits through the purchase of an adaptor.
