No, you got it all wrong. Just need a 1/2 inch chuck with a 1/4 inch shaft and BOOM! Everything is "impact ready" 😉
Thank you for this. I was wondering what I should buy 1/2 or 1/4 but I'm get 1/2 since you made a good point
I started breaking them like crazy even Milwaukee brand ones. I need a 3/8 and 1/2 impact driver.
true, but you get more power with an impact wrench. But for your average DIYer just having an impact driver with the right attachments is good enough
What bozo thinks the square drive is measured front-to-back?
That's what I thought when he said it 💀
I think you answered your own question...
I hate the friction ring. I didnt know they had pin detents.
I bought a bosch freak.
I know it will never compare to a full size impact wrench but it seems to do everything I'll need it for.
So many options and adapters available today, half inch wrench to 1/4in hex, you could drive the nuts with 800ftlb 😊
I prefer the pin detent easy to take off and never lose my sockets
I hate the pin detent, have to find a mechanics pick to get the pin detent every time you want to change size
@@rileymannion5301 drop some oil into once a week or day and it should allow it release easier
@@rileymannion5301 that’s bullshit you just pull it off lol
@@rileymannion5301 don't buy your impacts at harbor freight.
To ALL u tough guys.... I bought my Milwaukee M12 1/2" drive with detent from Ohio Power. The ball detent is too far out and I also need to use a pick to remove the socket. And yes I've tried oiling it and working the detent over and over to try and break it in. So, stop to thinking y'all know everything just because yours works as designed. And I also have m12 batteries that don't release. And no I don't have little girly hands.
I use my 1/4" with all 3 adapters for everything but lugnuts
Yeah but why would you deprive yourself of more tools.
@@TobyCostaRicacuz I'm broke
@@TobyCostaRicaeaxctly ! You can never have enough tools. I have the Dewalt Dcf850 impact driver, and Dcf 921 impact wrench. Love them for their own individual uses.
Whats the difference between like the 3/8 1/2 and inch and so on surely you could just buy one and put bigger attachments on it? What would be the best one to get probably half inch or 3/8 i would guess please tell me if im wrong and you need all sizes for some reason
I prefer the pin detent easy to take off and never lose sockets
Do people really think that 1/4, 1/2, and 3/8 refer to the length because that's re7arded.
Do people really need a video to explain the difference between these two types of tools, because that's r37@RD3d.
@@johncoops6897 I know right.
@@jimbothompkins - it takes me a few moments to hit "Don't Recommend This Channel" on all these _Speshul Needs_ content creators. It seems to help my sanity, at least a little bit.
However it's a losing battle because they are like a c@nc3r and more and more keep emerging. Same as the guys who upload a shaky vid of an engine idling... arggghhh!
The engine idling ones kill me. It's always some dusty ass 4 banger.
What is a timber screw? A lag bolt?
Impact wrench is mainly used on cars, most of the time and all day, impact drivers are mainly used for the house
Impact drivers are great for paddle bits. But the gen 4 M18 fuel and a handful of other newer commercial grade drill have an anti wrist busting feature.
tek gun or zip gun in the mechanical industry, perfect for a lot of applications where you need to run something in fast and a lot, or run screws in at a very low torque but quickly.
Whereas a rattle gun is for bigger shit, that actually holds things in place or together.
I’d use a tek gun for body panels and small bolts/nuts up to 8mm thread. Or If I’m running a screw or bolt into a plastic or rubber part
Rattle gun for anything 10mm thread and up. And if the rattlegun can’t do it, go up until the 1” can’t do it, then the hydraulic tension tool comes out, after that there’s only two options, get a slogging spanner and 10lb sledge, or oxy
Lol i use my impact driver as an impact wrench 🤷🏽♂️
It all depends on the task, but an impact wrench is wayyyy more powerful than any impact driver.
@@fabiantaveras8458 My friend didn't understand this when he bought an "Impact." He thought the 1/4 bit to 3/8 adapter was perfectly fine to loosen bolts on his rusty car. It could barely take off his lug nuts lol. Then he finally snapped the 1/4 inch adapter and traded it in for an actual impact wrench the next day. Night and day difference.
@@douglassmalls6934he was able to remove lug nuts with an 1/4 impact driver? 😳 i cant get mine to remove skid plate bolts m18 fuel surge.
@@daniellawson5127 any other m18 impact driver can take car lug nuts off with no problem. The surge version is weaker due to the nature of the hydraulic power train motor.
Get a 1/2 impact wrench if you’re a diy’er. You can get adapters to use impact driver bits with it and they work just fine. It’s much better than having to buy both tools.
Meanwhile Milwaukee has an impact driver with a 7/16" bit receiver
That’s something snap on would have
Pin detent is superior, I've had hog rings that will only hold onto specific brands of sockets
What’s a pendy tent
Socket adapter for impact driver😃
then bosch made the gdx, impact wrench with 1/4 inch hole, 1/2 socket aquare with friction ring and pin detent hahahaha
What about the Bosch "freak" it has a square drive and 1/4 combo
They’re decent for diy and stuff around the house but you wouldn’t want to use them on a job site or professional setting.
@@jprz3837 now I'm a contractor, plus I do electrical and plumbing. I hear lots of people complain about certain tool brands. I build pole barns. I have two kobalt impacts ,2 DeWalt, 2 Bosch freaks, 2 Makita, and two Milwaukee. They Makita are the best, and along with the Bosch,they handle the Mississippi heat the best . Then Milwaukee but the collet lock gives you headaches, DeWalt battery does not like the heat on the roof. The kobalt drives the most screws, but take the longest to charge. The only company I stray away from is Ridgid. Their customer service and honoring their warranty is BS. They even hung up on the store manager at the Madison Ms home Depot....I laughed because I told him Ridgid customer service sucked and he looked at me ,with a surprise and couldn't believe they hung up on him. I sold all my Ridgid stuff on FB marketplace....hell Ryobi is better than Ridgid.....plus I'm am disappointed the Emerson,leased the Ridgid name to those buttheads.
Meanwhile Bosch: 💪🥸🤌
Friction/hog rings are useless. They don't hold anything properly.
And y'all are saying it's just the head that's different?
If you need this video to help you choose, just step away from the tools and call a professional, OMG 😮
Hog rings need changed eventually
Does anyone actually calls these wrenches? Everyone I know calls them guns.
Everyone I know calls them impacts. Probably just a "local" thing.
Impact gun and rattle gun here.
No $h!?
Gotta love the 🇨🇳 red tools
Funny that for you overseas there are two different names for the same tool. For us it's just an "impact driver", no matter what drive.
They aren’t the same tool though.
@@nouun 😁
No shit...wtf?
