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.
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
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.
This is a 'not' video : not clickbait , not filled with stupid music / noise , not boring. Always great to learn something. Thanks ! Seems as though you could sell hats on the side from all the comments about yours . .....
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.
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
Great use of a modern tool such as high-speed recording, together with practical cut-away, to show exactly what's happening. Thanks for the excellent and concise demonstration :)
I only found very few vids on here worth watching .this was a good vid,make more please. .keep them straight for straight forward straight to the point like you did here....nice!
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
Interesting; thanks for sharing this. I believe the air powered units have a different impact clutch mechanism than this - I would be interested to see how that one works. I've disassembled the air powered ones for cleaning and repairs, and there is no spring in them. I guess inertia plays a role in timing the impacts.
Yeah, they have a throw-out hammer mechanism that is way different from this. I have an air gun in the closet waiting to be taken apart but my new slow mo camera doesn't arrive until March.
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.

1st class example of how to be a great TH-camr!
-straight to the point
-good audio
-good lighting
-interesting
-informative
thanks!!!
+Patrick Coble Glad you liked it. I have more to come and I have had some practice.
Nick Moore where did you buy this?
Straight to the point and no annoying music! Awesome!
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 !
Absolutely brilliant. The best demonstration and explanation of how an impact driver works. Many thanks.

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's awesome! You cut it up so we can see it without animation or a boring detailed verbal explanation. I subscribed!
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.
That comment is gold
Hands down the best explanation of how an impact driver works. This was my 4th and last video!! I get it now!!! Thank you
Simple, but very thorough explanation. Great video
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.
One of the best "how it works" videos I've seen. Thanks for making it!!
That's awesome. The mechanism is so simple and elegant. Thanks for doing this demo!
A video from 2012 answering a question I had since forever. Thanks Nick. Appreciate it!
No problem, glad you liked it!
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...
Answers to questions I didn't even know I had. This was very interesting. Humans make amazing things.
Vs what?? Gerbils? Blue Footed Boobies?
The best demonstration that I have seen on youtube. Now, finally I understand the impact mechanism. Thumbs up!!
Cross sectioned impact wrench adapter....this guy's out here doing the lords work
I see a think and I need to know how it works.
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 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 😁
Seriously outstanding video! 😃👍. Thanks for sharing!
It's the first time I understood how an impact wrench works. Thanks a Lot. Brilliant.
Glad it was helpful. Most electric guns use this mechanism but pneumatic guns work on a slightly different principal.
A textbook definition of how every informative/educational video should be. Kudos to you and thanks
A very well made video! Thanks for showing this on TH-cam.
Awesome video! Use it almost daily, always wondered how it works!
This is a 'not' video : not clickbait , not filled with stupid music / noise , not boring. Always great to learn something. Thanks ! Seems as though you could sell hats on the side from all the comments about yours . .....
Thank you for making this video. I really didn't want to take my dewalt air gun apart just to find out how it works.
Great Video. You explained how it works very early, and good narration and editing.
thx
Excellent tutorial. Loved the visuals. Well thought out and presented. Thanks!
+Ric Tester Glad you liked, thanks for watching.
I am looking everywhere on the internet for the drill adapter that you show here, I can't sleep anymore until i find it.
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.
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
That's cool I always wondered how an impact gun works.
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
Great cutaways man ! I've always had a good idea of how an impact gun worked. But watching the mechanism working was just awesome !
Great video. You explained it better than I could imagine. Thanks!
Wow, thank you, this was an incredibly good video, only took me 8 years to find it~
Brilliant with the cutaway! Thanks!
Amazingly done, chap! I learned so much about this tech in just 4 minutes. Cheers, Nick!
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.
Dude, this is the best video I've seen this year. Thanks.
Great use of a modern tool such as high-speed recording, together with practical cut-away, to show exactly what's happening.
Thanks for the excellent and concise demonstration :)
Love it. Nice straight forward video with a clear explanation. Thanks
I only found very few vids on here worth watching .this was a good vid,make more please. .keep them straight for straight forward straight to the point like you did here....nice!
Great video, thank you for taking the time in producing this.
No problem, glad you liked 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.
This is a very informative video. I appreciate the sacrifice you made
to your tools and the time you spent to make this video.
Good video, I always wondered how these worked!
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.
Amazing thank you for that beautiful demonstration of how an impact wrench or driver 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.
Thanks for the video Fedora Man!
This is a really good video! Thanks for taking the time to make it!
No problem, I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks Nick. Great job on the demo. Thanks for cutting up that bit for us to see inside. Very cool.

Nice job, I enjoyed the way you talked.
Cheers, I learn something new every day :-)
This video is perfect. Explained several things about an impact that I always wondered about even though I've had these apart multiple times.
I appreciate you taking the time to show me how this works.
Thanks for the video, very informative
Great video! Great content! I hope you grow and make more cool stuff like this.
This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen
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.
I didn’t know I wanted to learn this. Thanks
Nicely explained, well done! :-)
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!
cool video that you for sharing the cutaway ! never seen it in action before
Very cool, I always wondered how it worked.
thanks, always wondered how exactly they worked.
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.
This is the best video explaining impact driver
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.
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!!!
8 years later, still a great video.
I was wondering for some time how these tools work , and by far your explanations were the best a could found on youtube !
Nice.
Wow, Good job Dude
the best explanation about impact wrench that i ever watch
Awesome vid! That adapter is cool af. Wish they were still selling them. One of the most impressive tool addons I've even seen, just ingenious.
Great vid!
Glad you liked it
Wow, that's pretty cool. Great video and explanations!
Perfect demonstration 👌. Thanks.
You did a really great job explaining this with the cut-away. Great work buddy! Thanks!!!
Quality video i like it!
Thanks for the breakdown. Now I know.
Man, what a wonderful video. I love impact guns and ur video simplifies my understanding. Congrats 👌
Great video! The cutaway was exceptionally good, showed a lot of detail.
+Gaming With ViperZeroOne Thanks!

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.
Best explanation video on the internet about how they work
Thanks for putting this together Nick!
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.
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.
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.
Great video man. It's been driving me crazy to know how impact drills worked. You did a great presentation.
+Sr Rs Thanks, glad it was helpful!
Subscribed, voted up, commented just because wanted to appreciate the good job uve done Nick! the way videos on youtube should be!
Thanks! I try not to put a lot of filler in and just stick to the info.
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.
Billy Bob!! Gimme my bolt whackin gun!
Thanks for posting this informative video - great job on showing the internal functioning!
