My Space, go back to the far dark corner of the interweb! You can't win people back with power tool puns. People aren't going to leave Facebook. Just accept that and stop trying so hard. It's sad really.
Hi Nick, this is my first comment on YT ever, i really enjoyed your video, without wasting time, without exaggerating anything, keep making videos like that! Greetings from Rosario, Argentina
I find it impressive that the materials can withstand those forces and hits over long periods of time. One would think the surfaces get destroyed in no time.
Dude, I love tools, especially my impact drivers and wrenches, but have never fully understood exactly how they work until I watched this video. THANK YOU! liked and subbed
Why can't all TH-cam videos be like this? This was so concisely done, you can tell this is a no BS guy who gets work done. He should teach shop classes in schools, kids would learn a lot.
In one direction, yes. In the other direction, the spring will get longer. This is not how it is being done. See the first reply. There is a partial spiral that engages the hammer at 1/2 turns.
The spring is not rigidly connected to any of the components, it only compresses to store energy and release to push the hammer. The movement of the hammer up and it's rotation back down is guided by a set of grooves between the hammer and transmission output. If you can get the impact mechanism out and compress the spring completely, it should be possible to dismantle the whole thing and see the grooves.
I've owned/used impact guns for decades, but never really understood how they worked. Thanks to that cool cut-away you made, it's finally clear. You've destroyed one of life's little mysteries! Lol
Cool video but I have no idea how I ended up here. I started off by watching Jeremy Kyle and now I've built a shed in my living room.... Thanks youtube!
It's funny you mention that. TH-cam has done a bit of a shuffle and is directing a lot of traffic away from big names and towards small channels. Many people subscribe to big channels but rarely watch them all so giving the viewer more diversity means more views for TH-cam.
@Nick moore.. can you give me the link to buy this stuff? I cant find it at least on amazon or ebay, even in aliexpress/alibaba that can send it to indonesia... Thanks before
I cannot come up with a sufficiently enthusiastic enough compliment to give you. So many people do ridiculous computer animations which really don't get the point across. Your video, from concept to execution, is so much better and more informative than all the rest combined. Thank you so much for making this. You ROCK. BTW, that adapter is the best 2 dollars that you'll ever spend on tools! I want one of those! I don't even need one, and I still want one! Cheers, sir. You stand alone at the top regarding this topic.
Thank you for the video, know how the hell did youtube know I was wondering how these things work and I was going to search for it, but I never did the search!!!
Great video. Concise, informative, straight to the point. Learned exactly what I was curious about. I just feel like I should apologize for that hat or something.
Wait you are taking high speed video and you are not filming your friends getting kicked in the balls or someone blowing stuff up? I'm impressed, didn't think it was possible.
I know testicular violence is the goto for high speed video but every one else seems to have that covered. If you check out my science fair play list there are a number of other videos where I use high speed to explore physics: th-cam.com/play/PL34A76DDE41F18A19.html
Bro, you've gained nearly 1k subs in the past 24 hrs. You're growing, because people like you, and your content. Don't trust me, trust your fans. Keep it up (and lose the fedora)!
I would like to know where can I buy the the part for the normal dream to convert the normal drill into into the one with this turkey for the extra that you have explained
this was incredibly informative and thanks for sacrificing the impact adapter to show us. I'm curious, however. How does the hammering action improve bolt or nut *extraction* ? Wouldn't the pounding/hammering counter the direction of the thread? I'm rather new to the world of power tools. Thanks again.
Most of the force is rotational and will work with you to remove a stuck nut or bolt but even the axial hits are helpful. Any kind of sharp impact will break the bond between threads and help get things moving.
Straight to the point and no annoying music! Awesome!
Absolutely brilliant. The best demonstration and explanation of how an impact driver works. Many thanks.
bro 3 I've been using for 5 months I've never seen a shortage of products and the seller is very successful By Amazon :amzn.to/37OAfuC
Dimana kalo beli alat ini ya
That's awesome! You cut it up so we can see it without animation or a boring detailed verbal explanation. I subscribed!
Nearly 10 years later I got this recommended by TH-cam.. and I loved it! Good job!
Same.
I can sleep at last...4 years I've been a wonderin' how that f'n impact works???
i am a lot older than u, this question was a lot longer for me lol
boy you must have been stupid, back then it was even easier to find shit on youtube than it is now....
Same here,
One of the smartest guys I know didn't know how these work...Now I can clue him in!
Seems Seeing Is Believing !
What an impact this video creates.
It hammers out every little detail about this engineering marvel.
My Space it is quite riveting, I was bolted to the screen!
My Space, go back to the far dark corner of the interweb! You can't win people back with power tool puns. People aren't going to leave Facebook. Just accept that and stop trying so hard. It's sad really.
+My Space go back to reddit
+My Space Yeah, it really drives home how much power tools have helped the modern man wrench control from his surroundings.
tojiroh, don't encourage MySpace.
That was exactly what I was hunting for. That cutaway was perfect. I kinda imagined in my head that's how it worked and you have confirmed. Thanks.
"M'craftsman" *tips welding hood*
💀💀
This is pure gold, and exactly what I imagine home boy is like.
Dammit man
Video is great though.
Just the comment I came for
I am looking everywhere on the internet for the drill adapter that you show here, I can't sleep anymore until i find it.
Probably the best explanation I have seen for how it all works- especially like how you have shown the interior of the mechanism and slowed it down.
That's awesome. The mechanism is so simple and elegant. Thanks for doing this demo!
Hands down the best explanation of how an impact driver works. This was my 4th and last video!! I get it now!!! Thank you
One of the best "how it works" videos I've seen. Thanks for making it!!
Hi Nick, this is my first comment on YT ever,
i really enjoyed your video, without wasting time, without exaggerating anything, keep making videos like that! Greetings from Rosario, Argentina
I've watched many videos to understand how this works. This is the only video that made me understand exactly how it works. Thank you!
I find it impressive that the materials can withstand those forces and hits over long periods of time. One would think the surfaces get destroyed in no time.
Requires a tough material for the hammer portion!
@@benjaminlagace7266 for the low low price or $2 for the finished product lol
Take 20MnCr5, harden it to 58-62 HRC it will easily withstand it for a long time
hardened steel...
Dude, I love tools, especially my impact drivers and wrenches, but have never fully understood exactly how they work until I watched this video. THANK YOU! liked and subbed
Glad you liked it, I don't post that often but I try to keep it interesting.
The best demonstration that I have seen on youtube. Now, finally I understand the impact mechanism. Thumbs up!!
Simple, but very thorough explanation. Great video
Why can't all TH-cam videos be like this? This was so concisely done, you can tell this is a no BS guy who gets work done. He should teach shop classes in schools, kids would learn a lot.
Answers to questions I didn't even know I had. This was very interesting. Humans make amazing things.
Vs what?? Gerbils? Blue Footed Boobies?
Dude, this is the best video I've seen this year. Thanks.
Great Video. You explained how it works very early, and good narration and editing.
thx
This is the best video explaining impact driver
A textbook definition of how every informative/educational video should be. Kudos to you and thanks
But how is the rotational energy converted to lift the hammer in that first 1/4 ?
judgeomega - the driveshaft has a partial spiral that engages the hammer at 1/2 turns (it's explained in the video)
judgeomega when one end of a spring turns but the other doesn't, the spring compresses.
easy question.... if you rotate the end of the spring while holding it stand still on the other end,,, spring will get shorter in length.. ;-)
In one direction, yes. In the other direction, the spring will get longer. This is not how it is being done. See the first reply. There is a partial spiral that engages the hammer at 1/2 turns.

Excellent tutorial. Loved the visuals. Well thought out and presented. Thanks!
+Ric Tester Glad you liked, thanks for watching.
what camrea do you use it records amazingly
I use a Sony VG-20 camcorder and a Casio Ex-F1 for the slow motion.
nice! thanks for the quick reply and Thanks for making this video and relieving my curiousness towards impact drivers always always wondered.
No problem. Air drivers are a little different and I'll hopefully cover them next spring or summer.
You should!
After several videos, this video is where I understood it properly..... good job, thanks,
I've owned/used impact guns for decades, but never really understood how they worked. Thanks to that cool cut-away you made, it's finally clear. You've destroyed one of life's little mysteries! Lol
I will never again discount someone just for wearing that style of hat. Good video. Thanks.
+Pedarski Glad you liked it, I'm still surprised that no one else has a video about this.
I should do a better job of spotting such lapses in popular understanding... and do something about it. Thanks again.
Saya ingin punya itu 😁
Wow, thank you, this was an incredibly good video, only took me 8 years to find it~
Cool video but I have no idea how I ended up here. I started off by watching Jeremy Kyle and now I've built a shed in my living room.... Thanks youtube!

How's it feel going viral!?
Analytics tells me that people have watched 158 days worth of this video in 24 hours. The comments tells me I should loose the hat.
Chaos theory in action.
If you like the hat, keep the hat. Fuck the comments.
Great video! Nice idea to cut open the device to see it work.
Terrific video! Really like how you no only explained it, but then provided the cutout of the tool so that we can see it actually operate.
Thanks!
Nice job, I enjoyed the way you talked.
Such an excellent video and explanation.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to do it and you now have another subscriber.
Thanks, I try to have new stuff up as often as possible.
Great video. You explained it better than I could imagine. Thanks!
Thanks Nick. Great job on the demo. Thanks for cutting up that bit for us to see inside. Very cool.
@Nick moore.. can you give me the link to buy this stuff? I cant find it at least on amazon or ebay, even in aliexpress/alibaba that can send it to indonesia... Thanks before
Seriously outstanding video! 😃👍. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video! Use it almost daily, always wondered how it works!
A very well made video! Thanks for showing this on TH-cam.
Excellent video of how these work. Thanks
This is the best demonstration of a hammer drill or driver I've ever seen.
That's cool I always wondered how an impact gun works.
Good video, I always wondered how these worked!
Great video, thank you for taking the time in producing this.
No problem, glad you liked it.
cool video that you for sharing the cutaway ! never seen it in action before
A video from 2012 answering a question I had since forever. Thanks Nick. Appreciate it!
No problem, glad you liked it!
This is a really good video! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
No problem, I'm glad you liked it.
link? for the "adaptor" thx
Same i would buy if i find one.
just get a used impact there pretty cheap and it will work better or search up adapter that makes drill an impact
@@Daniel-dg8hd I dont think so, that adapter looks cheap and good
@@joaolisboa7775 you don’t think an actual impact will work better?
Thanks for the video Fedora Man!

Love it. Nice straight forward video with a clear explanation. Thanks
I didn’t know I wanted to learn this. Thanks
thank you for doing this!! ive wanted to see exactly this, an impact wrench in slow motion with a cutaway revealing the mechanism. +1 to you, sir
liked the video, liked the explanation and the slow motion footage. Thanks for sharing!
I have just one question:
Why wear a hat indoors?
It's cold in Canada.
+Nick Moore This is the first video of yours I've seen. I subscribe just because of the Trilby.
Great video man.... Answered any and all questions I had without any confusion
Nice. It's cool to finally see how one of your daily tools actually work.
+sorel93 Glad you liked it. I had been wondering for years before I made this video.
Great vid!
Glad you liked it
Cool video just a tip though, loose the fedora
Learn proper English. It's 'lose'. Also I'm sure you're some kind of style master that attracts the opposite sex like mad, you keyboard expert, you.
Actually, in proper English loose as a verb means to get rid of or set free. So, Based is right.
R.J.H1978 thanks for the lawyering.
It's a Trilby, not a fedora, he needs to lose the Trilby
Nice.
I appreciate you taking the time to show me how this works.
Very interesting. I bought an impact drill a few weeks ago and man is it a super help on rusted bolts. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for the video, know how the hell did youtube know I was wondering how these things work and I was going to search for it, but I never did the search!!!
Thanks for the video, very informative
Nicely explained, well done! :-)
where can I find one of those impact adapter for my drill?
Brilliant video ! 👍🏻
Cheers, I learn something new every day :-)
Great video. Concise, informative, straight to the point. Learned exactly what I was curious about. I just feel like I should apologize for that hat or something.
You look like a very nice guy..
Of course he's nice, he's Canadian. :D
He looks so damn awkward in what hes doing :S
YOU GUYS DON'T GET THE OG COMMENT HE LOOKS AND ACTS LIKE A TYPICAL MLADY NICE GUY LMAO
Lmfao
Is this like internet bullying? He's a smart guy producing good stuff. You guys can fuck off.
Respect for those who design and invent these mechanisms. Good video !
I wonder if it can remove that rusty fedora...
I won it for drinking gallons of Guinness at the local pub.
Still doesn't make it ok!
But...will it blend?
Quality video i like it!
wooow i always wondered how this works coz i use this 8hrs a day! :D
I'm glad you liked it, I wasn't sure how they worked until I made this video.
This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen
Not gonna lie, it's been so long since TH-cam has recommended something interesting and useful
Glad you liked it. Check out Applied Science or Practical Engineering, Those guys do some excellent videos.
Wow, that's pretty cool. Great video and explanations!
Billy Bob!! Gimme my bolt whackin gun!
Thanks for the breakdown. Now I know.
Very neat indeed, most kind of you for sharing it with us, please keep up the good work.
Good video. I loved the cutout view and the slow motion action. Thank you
Great video! But why do all my canadian friends have beards AND were those hats... Im all about the beard , but the hat is what gets me.
you ruined it for me, all those years l thought of something magical going on: gears, pistons, and shafts. Now it's all gone. I feel empty, now
Same thing happens when you marry the girl of your dreams.

Dude, you did an EXCELLENT JOB showing and explaining how this works...Thanks!
Glad you liked it! This is my most popular video despite the hat.
Great voiceovers. Very easy to follow and learn.
You need to get comfortable in front of the camera!
Yeah, this was one of the first videos I did talking straight to the camera. I still tend to use pre-recorded video and voiceovers to avoid face time.

I hate the camera and will never get comfortable around it, dont listen to these people...

I always wondered what they look like inside! Great video!
This is a very informative video. I appreciate the sacrifice you made
to your tools and the time you spent to make this video.
I would like to know where can I buy the the part for the normal dream to convert the normal drill into into the one with this turkey for the extra that you have explained
the best explanation about impact wrench that i ever watch
Super well done, thanks. Helped me understand where the "extra kick" was coming from. Never get something for nothing in physics.

Great cutaways man ! I've always had a good idea of how an impact gun worked. But watching the mechanism working was just awesome !
