![Which Impact Adapter is the Best? 1/4" Impact Driver Adapters [TESTED]](/img/n.gif)
You could imagine those two as different gears in your car.
Lower gear (Impact wrench): high torque, the car can climb uphill, but slower.
Higher gear (impact driver): your car is faster, but doesn’t have as much power.
Imagine trying to race uphill in 5th gear. Your gearbox would cry. Or race super fast on a highway, but in 1st or 2nd gear. Wouldn’t work well either.
That is basically the difference between impact wrenches and impact drivers.
Thanks for clarifying the differences between impact wrenches and drivers. A lot of other sites and videos were basically saying the wrench has more torque, but not explaining why. From my understanding after watching your video, it seems like the wrench is a more powerful tool, but gentler for mechanical work than and a driver. Makes sense for the type of work.
Don’t worry about goofballs, dopes and their negative comments! Every highly opinionated 11year old and lonely old crank will have a whole lot to say about facts you got wrong or information you left out but you’re the one doing the research and creating the damn content!
I appreciate all your videos thank you for doing a very very good job informing us on how things work.
you are welcome and I thank you Steve
Best video ever on this topic. Thank you!
love how you took it apart keep them coming please do this with milwaukee.
will do and I thank you for the suggestion PBS
I had this question all the time in my head when I was trying to buy an impact driver to build a shed by my self. Because I have several old cars, I thought maybe I can just buy an impact wrench, use some kind of adapter and use it as a impact driver for wood work. I was totally wrong. I'm glad that I bought a makita "impact driver" for building shed. Verrry useful.
I do have a video with using that adaptor, you should check it out and it works well
Thanks for the clarification Dave, very interesting video 👍👍
I thank you Dan
Very nice informative video. Simple and clear
I thank you Jay
Great video as always, thank you for the info. 👍👍
I thank you for viewing Kristian
Do ingco tools videos. Im sure people outside the US would love to see that. Great video as always. Keep it up.
You sir are not a moron I've seem most of your videos and they're great, you are always trying to improve your videos and the test you do.
I thank you Naoum
loved the video again, you have my support!
I know the feeling it's the same on my canal .
I thank you Dominic and more videos will be coming
I than you again DIY :)
Hard work pays off. Keep on keeping on brother. Some people just don't like it when others are trying, and succeeding, to get better at their trade.
I thank you Grand. I appreciate the support
Dude your content is amazing. I feel guilty watching it for free.
I thank you for your support nbmufc
Totally agree!
Your videos are great bro 👌 👊💯
I thank you no one :)
What do you recommend for taking lawn mower blade bolts off? Wrench or driver?
I just saw this video, and it confirmed my understanding that impact wrenches are slower but stronger. I purchased an impact driver last year, and between moderately high use driving screws into framing building a shed and high temps in Texas it died in like 6 months. My hope is that an impact wrench going slower will actually last longer.
it might be better. just need a good adaptor then you are good to go
You should do a video of an impact driver vs impact wrench where you increase the size of the lag every time to find out how big of a lag it takes for the impact drivers speed to no longer be able to beat the impact wrenchs torque
I will as soon as I get a mid range Milwuakee impact wrench. ill do a dewalt and milwuakee video in one
Yeah, coz in this video, you can see impact driver beating the shit out of impact wrench all day, which is even more confusing lol
Great clarification! Don't let them get to you. They watch one video and think they're experts. It's on them if they don't know what it is or how to use it.
I thank you for your support Chris
Nice job bro 👍👍👍.
I thank you DIY :)
Loved the videos you think you can show us a review of the Ryobi garage upper cabinets? I now there new I have not seen them in stores.
once I can get my hands on one I will and I thank you Abraham :)
Great video as always it doesn't matter what you do there's always going to be haters just keep putting out great videos and prove them wrong
will do and I thank you Albert
Wow i doesn’t know it before this video :O I life in Germany and here no body knows what a impact driver/wrench is only the car mechanics know 😂 we only have 1 word for it only impact (...) and under this name are both of them driver and wrench ist little bit difficult here. Great video thanks 💪👍🏻
I thank you Paul
Same here in Japan. We call it "impact" means impact driver. Nobody knows about cordless impact wrench cuz every automotive mechanics still uses pneumatic impact wrench, and unlike people in US, most people don't work on their cars. or houses.
Dude your not a moron ( if that's how you spell it). You do a great job with the channel I love it. Those who call you that should try a youtube channel and see how it is
I thank you for your support Weldon
@@ManCaverTools your welcome. Keep those videos coming. Especially the home depot.
Ok, now after watching the entire video here’s my real comment:
Very informative. My question is who defines the terminology? It’s like you said, you almost always see a 1/4” hex collet on a impact driver and a 3/8 or 1/2” anvil on an impact wrench, so I don’t feel like I’ve steered anyone wrong by telling them that is a way to visually help distinguish between them. Good info, keep up the good work.
I thank you for the insight Rob Tools
Great video. As far as anybody that doesn't like the video because there so much cooler and know so much more then they can go watch another video or make their own channel.
I agree and I thank you for your support DJ
By the way, why did you swap the collet?
Hey bro it’s self explanatory if you can’t tell the difference it’s cause you don’t know tools you are doing a great job
I thank you Jaime
You should test the Stanley fatmax impact driver.
will do and I thank you for viewing Jeffery
Surely it's more likely to be the planetary gear set that is different, rather than the motor? And the strength of the spring used to hold the anvil.
What product would you recommend for car lug nut removal and installation on a car...home duty....
Impact wrenches to take the lug nut out and torque bar to put them back on
Dude , don't sweat the small stuff , if they don't know difference or know what tool your using , that's on them .... Haters are gonna Hate , no matter what. Keep your Head Up ....👍✌🖖👊
I thank you for your support Brian :)
Wow this is the video I was looking for! Crazy that the impact driver is faster for a "hard" task like that. I would not have guessed that. Haven't picked up a 3/8 impact wrench yet because I haven't needed one yet lol.
I am glad this video could help and I thank you for viewing Kesh
Thank you for making this video to teach the trolls.
I thank you Rebell :)
Impact or wrench - which one would you suggest when driving lug bolts M10,M12 lumber to lumber
Impact wrench
Thanks
Great video, very informative and ejoyable though I’d say the biggest “mistake” you made in the script was that the impact wrench is soooo much more versatile since if you have one that is 1/2 inch every adapter you put on is smaller so there is more metal than going from 1/4 inch hex to e.g. Half inch. The adapters i was talking about are from milwaukee and they make you 1/2 inch impact wrench into either a impact driver- the 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch hex adapter or it can turn it into a drill with the 7/16 inch adapter for linesman, electrician ‘s and plumber’s bits. So that would be for example augers, selfeed bits or spade bits (1/4 inch hex)
that's why they have both impact wrenches and impact drivers. with the impact wrench its nice to have a thick heavy duty adaptor that won't break
I just have *one* question: how many of these devices (drivers/wrenches.. whatever) have you lying there in your shop? If that's not pure passion..?!
So what does this mean for your impact wrench showdowns with lag bolts if an impact driver can beat an impact wrench. Its not the jam its the speed for lag bolts? But the jam is more important when shopping for impact wrench
watch my Frankenstein milwaukee impact driver vs milwaukee impact wrench stubby video
I seriously can't believe people try to argue with u and call the screwdriver a impact 😂😂 hell its closer to a drill than an impact driver
its crazy but they do. in many ways
I own a driver and a wrench, it's good to see what the main difference is. At the end of the day, as long as it does the job, I'm happy.
I agree with you on that 7s and I thank you for viewing
Ignore the stupid haters. You’re doing great.
I do and I thank you softwarephil1709n:)
Do you think hilti siw 6 impact wrence has more power (not speed)than m18gen3 impact driver ?
I have only tested out this low range one. we will find out when I get the other wrenches from hilti
@@ManCaverTools yes i speak about this one :) i have sid4 and i am thinking to buy this low range impact wrence from hilti because i like it . It will worth it ?
It's all in the mechanics. That's the differences.
I thank you for viewing Ricky
Since your knowledgeable let me ask you something. Do you think I can take for instance car lug nuts off with an impact driver? If not, would a 1/2" Makita impact wrench have easily enough power to do it?
I thank you for viewing :)
David in this day & age, opinions are now fact to many on what is on YT or any social media platform. Instead of doing real research themselves, they just look at FB or whatever & take that as gospel. "Because their favorite person" said it, it must be true! Or your "Keyboard Warriors" who are fully loaded with biased opinions or just like being mean. It's in their nature. Ignore them & move on guy! Great video!
I do and I thank you Greg. too many people love doing that
I cant answer for others, but I think those comments you got may have been one of those times where how you say something matters more than what you say? Example, in this video you point to at 3 different things and say "anvil", 2 of them are the same component seen from different sides and the last one is just pointed at while really talking about something else. By all means, its not wrong, but as someone who fairly recently got into power tools I can see how that can be a bit confusing.
That being said I like your videos. I like how the tests you do (even though they may be harsh) are applicable to real use cases. Too many tool channels focus on those silly tests like where they connect two drills and see which one dies first and such, which tells me nothing about how usable the tool is in what its intended to do. I want to know if I can hang up pictures in the living room with a cheap drill, not if a $1500 drill can kill it. Your channel I feel like I can reliably go to and see what the tools can actually do. Great job man!
I thank you for the feedback and support Kvern. these video I do are unscripted and I do admit sometimes I do go off topic, I try to get better at it, but I do thank you for viewing bro
Daultless Dave!
I thank you for viewing Gonzalo
Hey man caver where did 30 videos go ? If this is episode 421 and you only have 392 videos?
I deleted some earlier videos from when I first started the channel
He deleted the incredibly hilarious videos that got me watching him!! David has OCD like me & likes to keep things professional now since going into a different direction. I understand why he did it. I'm just being honest, he cracked me up with those vids though! Lol
@@NoMoneyG yup he would randomly seem drunk lol
Don't worry abt those calling you all sorts of things, they don't have the money to buy it...
One question what do you do for a living? I only ask cause all your tools seem to be new. Do you actually work with all these tools everyday?
im a security officer. these tools get cleaned overtime I use them. because if I have dirty tools and one tool looks dirtier then another people will say its an unfair test. because they think one tool is new and the other is old
I am commenting without watching the entire video.
lol. I thank you for commenting Micheal
I bought a dewalt impact driver XR and to my surprise it takes off lug nuts just fine . I didn’t know the difference between the impact wrench and the impact driver it’s all super confusing
I thank you for viewing Locas
So if there is a fast car and a slow car then one of them is not a car? I still dont understand the difference.
an impact driver normally is faster but it hits more. an impact wrench is slower but it its harder. so the tool needs to work less to do harder work
☕☕☕☕☕☕☕🥐🍳🥓🧀👌 It's a person doesn't understand It's size crew gun the other one says Impact There is a difference make time and screw guns are usually a lot quieter Take care
Yes sir and I thank you for viewing Konaman
Wonder if you’re gonna get an apology from the mouthy ones
Probably not.
hell no lol
Anyone who doesn’t know what the difference between a impact driver and a screwdriver is ain’t real bright. But as far as swapping the the anvils between a impact driver and a impact wrench baffles me as well. What is the gain in doing that?
its just fun to take tools apart and swap parts out
diferent is gearbox, motor are same
no sir. the motor is not the same
Brother they must be new to the channel or they have no clue about Cordless power tools.
Agreed, they have no clue about tools.
I think so as well. and I thank you Toriano
Yeah two different types of tools
I guess I didn't qualify as a moderator...
when the channel gets bigger ill take you into consideration
@@ManCaverTools I'm good brother. Thank you. Not like I was the one who suggested it or anything.
@@word1one boo hoo
@@mukkena7453 feel good to get that out? Lol
@@word1one LoL, well, with a name like “Mukkena?”
Only Makita 👍
Being honest though Milwaukee has some issues as well.
@@Steve_K_MS660 For big projects, people will choose Makita rather than Milwaukee, of course you don't believe it, but that's the reality!!! In general, it is certain that Makita's will be one degree higher than Milwaukee !
I thank you for viewing Makita :)
@AT&T Makita if you read my comment you would have seen I was not saying Milwaukee was the best. My comment was for b gg, I was saying that some Milwaukee tools have issues, problems. I am not a Milwaukee fan, far from it . I am a Dewalt fan personally, I will not deny that Makita and Milwaukee make quality tools though.
No
I thank you for viewing Nicholas
@@ManCaverTools 🤣🤣🤣 bro 100% new youtube strat tell the viewer not to do something in bold letters and they will do it .....
Nobody tells me what to do
This stuff is confusing as hell
indeed it is lol
This is what I learned from this video
1 their is no difference between impact driver and impact wrench WHEN YOU SITTING ON THE MOUNTAIN OF TOOLS
2 your are taking comment too seriously
note i comment in middle of video
I thank you for viewing Moon
Lol....dont worry about it brother. You can't fix stupid. All your real tech fans know what your talking about
I thank you for the support Tim
Some people i know think my impact drivers are drills lol i have to tell them its not a drill i think they dont have a clue these people dont know nothing about tools ha
a lot of people just don't know lol
1st
Thank you so cal
I’m commenting 22 seconds into the video, just to annoy you. 😀

I've seen lots and lots of your vids. You call the tools what they are, maybe you have a slight hardly worth mentioning, can't even remember the video (s) where you g😵😖fed.
I Thank you so much for viewing :)
