On the other hand, the regular drill bit’s design (with a thicker shaft) doesn’t allow the stress to be removed from the bit tip which leads it to have less torsional strength.

This design, in turn, allows the impact driver bit to have a much larger torsional strength than a regular drill bit.Īs a result, the torsional strength allows the impact driver bit to continue spinning without breaking even when much stress is put on the bit. Thanks to its narrower shaft, excess stress is removed from the bit’s tip and released into that shaft which has a larger surface to dissipate the pressure. If you put an impact driver bit side by side with a regular drill bit, you’ll see that the impact-driver bit has a narrower shaft than the regular drill bit. On the other hand, as impact-driver bits are more ductile than regular drill bits, they can bend easily without snapping which makes them perfect for those uses. When this happens, if a regular drill bit is used for this, it can easily break as it has much lower ductility than an impact driver bit. When fastening a screw, the impact driver bit spins at full speed and receives a lot of pressure. What is ductility? Ductility is, in short, the ability of a metal to change its shape repeatedly. Let me share with you their differences: Impact-driver bits are more ductile than regular drill bits However, most people don’t know the difference between the bits each of these tools use.Īre these bits different at all? The answer is YES.

#WHEN TO USE AN IMPACT DRILL VS DRILL DRIVER DRIVERS#

Impact drivers output more power than regular drills for fastening screws.

We all know the difference between impact drivers and regular drills: torque. But before going straight to the answer, there are some explanations I must make: Impact Driver Bits vs Regular Drill Bits So I think it’s a good idea to take the time and give some clarification. There’s a lot of confusion about this topic. I always get this question: Can I use impact driver bits in a drill?
