Drill / Impact Driver
Also known as
Cordless Drill, Power Drill, Impact Driver, Impact, Driver
Used for
Driving screws and bolts faster than any hand tool when building staging, running cable conduit, or assembling scenic elements. An impact driver adds a rotational hammering action that handles stubborn fasteners without stripping.
Trade note
A drill uses continuous rotation; an impact driver uses both rotation and concussive hammering. The impact action drives fasteners faster and prevents cam-out on Phillips heads. For deck screws and long lag bolts, impact drivers are strongly preferred — they won't strip the screw head under high torque.
