The stupid thing is an impact driver is all about torque….yet has no calibrated torque number settings or scale readout for you. All you know is it is giving the fastener a really good hard twist…in some cases too hard. For this reason, and despite that most YT tool channels seem to ubiquitously use impact drivers in favour of drills, I prefer a powerful hammer action drill driver with clutch settings so I won’t strip the smaller screws and it will still power deep into concrete if I ask it to. If I ever need to undo lug nuts on a truck wheel…then I’ll think about an impact driver (but then it will more likely benefit from a dedicated wheel nut impact wrench). Thanks for the video👍
he is a real expert, not trying to sell out a product, simply and competently reporting facts
The answer to this is easy. You always need more tools. N+1 is the perfect number of tools where N is the number of tools you currently have
As a pure math major who made the move into the contracting business, this comment got me hard.
Yes indeed, for the love of tools feeling like a dog chasing its tail in an endless DO loop. Once you get into an overflow situation, only your wife could END it by kicking you in the head.
(N+1)*3=perfection lol
Nathan Soper wise man 👍
@@frankw8876 this is also of course the s-1 rule where s is the number of tools at which your wife leaves you.
He is really precise in his explanations! He does not try to be cool or fashionable or whatever... It´s so nice to listen to him.
He is born teacher!!! Thank you!

At last, a video that breaks all the BS behind the Impact screwdrivers. A cordless driller with a 1,3Ah battery would easily break your arm into tiny pieces if it would like to. Simply, use a genius invention called "good screws with Torx heads" and you are all good to go. If you can't make a tightening on a crew with your arm stretched using cordless driller how the hell you gonna drill the 12mm hole in a concrete wall using 230V SDS Plus machine in the same position?
BTW I'm wondering, how Impact (brushless) driver will help me when I need to polish or sharpen an aluminum arrow with steel made tip? Is there any "arrow adapter" on the market? Exactly.
Funny though, he talks like we are going to answer him.
I agree, I also appreciate that he isn't trying to oversell each piece making it sound a great in all aspects...but rather stated frankly the limitations and weaknesses which makes it easier for someone to be informed when choosing
@@JayDee-xj9lu That's because he's used to demonstrating live, I expect... Also, I sense he's talking to the videographer, seeking some direction... 😊
Can't stop admiring, how brilliantly Eric Streuli explains. He is a real treasure to Bosch.
He is a treasure to us all.........

If you did not need one after listening to him you buy one
I've been a professional woodworker for nearly a decade now and I've never ran into a situation where i absolutely needed an impact driver.
I won't deny the usefuleness of an impact but my go to is a combi drill. Drills are way faster, quieter and way better to "dose" to not overdireve a fastener.
Your not a professional then
@@booboo-nl3wi hundreds of clients would say otherwise.
But yeah well a random guy on the internet is probably right.
Ok abit harsh lol, let's say if you was doing a decking job would you not go for the impact driver then?? Plus don't you find you can get in tighter spacers with impact for instance when you're doing kitchens??
@@booboo-nl3wi Most of the Decks in my area have a aluminium or a woodcomposite substructure and are screwed down with stainless steel screws. They rip off pretty easily in alu or wpc so i use the drill and set the clutch on a low setting so i don't have to worry about it. For furniture i mostly use my 12v driver, it has all the power you need for this little screws and its super compact and lightweight. As i wrote in my first comment i won't deny the usefullness of an impact. Really big legs are a pain in the ass with a drill especially when you're up on a ladder or a rafter. But i rarely need screws big enough to cause major kickback so i use my combidrill because it's faster and quieter.
@@booboo-nl3wi Professional means, he is doing a profession for money. Who are you to decide who gets paid for which kind of work? These comments are just childish. He can carve the wood with a spoon if he likes to and then sell it. And can call it "professional work for woodworking", what do you care?
Combi driver can do it all, and there are quality combi drivers that can even "pulse" when it senses high torque and simulate a impact driver effectiveness. Not necessarily to race with the performance of specialized impact drivers. But see, tools are just choices. Whichever you like, you use it. Maybe just the sound of it annoys you or that it looks cool or that your grandfather gave you the tool.
Please have some more respect to other people's efforts and choices.
This guy teached me more in 14 minutes than 2 years of TH-cam videos
This video has an impact in my life.
😁😆
HA!!!
Impact drive..
rotational or linear lmao
Rotary or linear impact?
You buy the combi, you’re happy until you come across a stubborn hole you persist and the third time you encounter a stubborn hole you buy an sds. You have a job where you have to drill a pilot then drive a screw in one at a time you get arsed off with changing between drill bits you buy an impact driver then you fall in love with it and start looking at all the other cordless toys you can buy without having to buy new batteries. Three years later you have the battery powered coffee machine and radio and half a dozen batteries to go with it
ans don't forget and a torch.
So true. Got combo pack with combi and impact drill, just bought multi sander and now need angle grinder. Don't need the grinder much so a cheap corded one will do, but still looking at cordless one at 3x the price, just cos lol
I loved 9:25 when he offered to demonstrate if we wish... his face when he remembers he's talking to a camera was funny!
I believe you forgot to mention that 1 of the biggest advantages of an “impact driver “ is that the way it delivers it’s power(short spurts)is that it keeps the bit or socket from stripping the screw head! However, you did a great job on explaining, everything.
I'm was a combi driver guy, I don't understand the extra tool and can't justify their need. But when I was installing something on the ceiling, combi driver was hard to manage because it was twisting my arm and the sensitive position didn't allow handle the kickback properly. Then I realised, that the impact driver would have been a better choice there.
One more tool can be a good option at times where it matters.
boy! when the title says "expert guide" the video really means it. refreshing to see this in YT. please make more vids!
Dear but not d all experts r gr8 teacher wh can convey why dey know in a very lucid understandable manner..he does dat &appears 2 b d best at it...Tnks
@@kkmodi4340 i think you may have had a stroke while typing this.
It also seems very ironic that you're talking (I think) about conveying something in an understandable manner😂
Tnks
You confirmed what I was only able to intuit. I purchased a set that included a combi driver and impact driver. The impact driver felt like overkill for the #8 and #10 woodscrews, regardless of their length. Indeed, the impact driver cammed out the heads on the longer screws. Alternatively, the combi drill competently drove the long screws without deforming them. The impact driver seems more suited for bolts and lag screws. The combi driver has more uses and should be the first tool of choice.
In the US, we rarely use the term “impact drill”, instead we use “hammer drill”, less confusion. However, there is still some confusion between “impact driver” and “impact wrench”. People in the trades know the difference, as do some DIY folks, but many consumers don’t realize they are two different, but closely related things.
Good demonstration and thanks for demonstrating that a drill/driver is sometimes faster than an impact driver. Choose the right tool for the job...when you have the right tool available.
Excellent explanation of those tools of which I had no idea, It's a lot clearer now. Thank you very much.
You when you hear that British accent
Your going to totally get the best explanation you ever heard by a professional. .
Great explanation.. thank you!
Great primer to clearly explain the cofusing world of impact drivers, drills, combo etc. Thanks.
I first bought an impact driver as a tag-along with a kit of other tools that I actually needed, and mostly just dismissed it. Here several years later, my tune has changed. I drive a lot more fasteners than I drill holes, and while a drill can drive fasteners, the impact driver does it MUCH better. I pretty much only use my drill.........to drill holes. My impact driver gets used easily 4x more often. If I could only have one, I'd have the drill and not like the limitation at all, but if you can at all, definitely get the impact driver as well.
People like you, Sir, are the reason I am on TH-cam.
Thanks for watching, glad we could provide the content you were looking for!
Thank you for so eloquently explaining the difference. Very informative.
Great job of explaining the use of each tool. Have been wondering if I needed an impact driver but this has cleared that question for me.
Amazing how well some people can explain a topic. Thank you.
Most comprehensive tutorial on drill/drivers available. Thank you.
Thank you for accurate and exact information. By chance I bought one of each from Boch a few days ago!
I could listen to this guy all day. Well informative.
Probably the best explanation I've seen.
It's like one of those wartime black and white educational films that break everything down to a practical level, to teach conscripted yokels how to be mechanical engineers.
Very helpful, can't believe i listen to every word till the end... Very precise explanations
Thank you Bosch for your wonderful tools that make working more fun! I am a long time user and take pride in every Bosch tool I have owned.
What a brilliant film!!! Thanks, loved it.
Excellent demo - thank you!
Awesome and clear instructions... Thank you for sharing. 😊😊
It is the most precise, to the point explanation I've seen.
Thanks for the video..
outstanding tute on drivers and impact drivers, thanks so much
Excellent tutorial on the different units
You are the best advertisement for Bosch That I ever saw Eric. You need/Deserve a pay rise. that was the best bit of tution ever. all was explained so very clearlyl and in laymens turms . that was a Masterclass.
This is a great explanation of the different tools and what they are for. Very clear.
This is the best presentation i have ever seen on tools so far, so calm and understandable and with no demonstarions what so ever (drilling tons of screws, holls) i just can't belive is so good...very simple but awsome
Really useful, I don’t think I’d survive without my impact driver now....great content and thanks for sharing 👍
Good video, informative and not over complicated.
Finally someone who tells the difference
The best explanation I have found after few days of search. Annnndddd... finally I can understand! My appreciation. Thank you very much.
This video is brilliant! Never knew the difference between machines so really opened my eyes.
Best explanation of how an impact driver works! Thx a lot, well done and good job!
The BEST explanation calling out the differences between the 2 machines - EVER!
Very good explanations, this man is born to explain and teach :)
Great review. Thanks
Great explanatory video - much appreciated and I decided to buy a Bosch Combo with a GDX driver. Brilliant solution to my dilemma. Cheers from NZ.
Loved this vid, highly informative.
Excellent video - I learnt a lot.
The Bosch guy explains stuff really well and clearly.
Thanks, and yes, Eric knows his stuff.
Learned not learnt
@@prepperjonpnw6482 ever heard of Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and a whole slew of other places where they still have not moved to color, neighbor, check (banking), etc.?
Learn a lot about these tools in 15 mins.
He’s is very professional 👍👏👏
Super video. Really well presented and very educational. Appreciate the comparison between impact driver and drill driver, use both for roofing and found no huge difference until the fasteners become larger.
What an informative video! Great explanation. I never really understood the difference between those tools. Now it is crystal clear. Thanks.
Thanks so much for the information. This is exactly the education on the subject that I have been looking for. Very much appreciated
Excellent video - thanks. I needed to know what an impact driver was and its pros and cons, but nearly didn't view this video because I thought it would be just an ad for Bosch. But I'm glad I gave it a chance - no Bosch hype at all, just the straight facts, cleared explained. If only all DIY help videos were like this!
Thank you for watching and leaving your comment! We always like to hear when we've helped out a viewer with our content
Very well explained!
Very good explanation, and very clear to understand, so thanks.
Awesome demonstration indeed. Many thanks
We need more professionals like Eric who are both good teachers as well as good tradespeople!
Very good explanations. I was trying to look for this explanation for quite some time now and I couldn't find on any other video.
Best drill/driver/wrench comparison video on the internet! 👍
Wow! What an explanation. Thank you so much.
Fantastic demonstration! This is exactly the video I've been looking for. I was wondering how the hammer system was supposed to work once beginning to come in action. I didn't understand how about the "back motion" against the spring was possible until I saw your system. I couldn't see how it would not just simply block and stop turning. THANK YOU !!!
very detail explanation.
excellent explanation, went through me when you damaged the bench top on purpose though.
First time I've seen you. Brilliant. Unpretentious. Thanks.
My congratulations sir,this is an excellent educational video. Now i know how my machines exactly work.
Excellent video. Thank you.
very helpful thank you! Nice to see the mechanism of an impact drill
The very best explanation of the difference between a hammer action of the hammer drill and the impact driver action, congratulations!
Thank you very much!
Well explained. Thank you
What a great demo... With watching.. With earphone I learned so much
Very good explain. Thanks
Thank you. Most informative.
Nice explanation. Thanks
Very easy to understand explanation, Great Teacher.
Well expounded. Thanks.
Best explanation of the impact driver.
👍👍👍i was waiting this explanation before buying and impact drill, good teacher .
EXCELLENT DEMO AND INFO.
Great explanation and demonstration, thanks!
I have seen this video more than 5 times, and will come again to see more times, also want work with "Eric from Bosch"
Have had my impact driver for a few months and it’s been great. However over the last week I have been building a shed and it has been great. Has made easy work of the big screws but also allows quite fine control to get the head perfectly flush when required.
Thank you. The best explanation, and this guy does a very good job.
Very good explanation 👍
Very well explained, Thank you
Best breakdown-explanation I’ve ever heard between these machines. It can be confusing.
Australian 18v Blue Bosch user here. Thanks for the superb demonstration, stay safe, regards
Thank you very much, this video was very useful
That demonstration jig really helped with explaining how an impact driver delivers radial impact, unlike a hammer drill. So I learned something today - thanks!
Very good explanation. Thumbs up!
Very informative, thank you! Was looking for this since there are so many choices from Bosch Professional.
Great explanation, thank you. Now, let's start selling those beautiful green tools in the background in NA.
Great explanation - Thanks.
Holy crap! I want that GDX now!
Thank you for the great explanations. Now, I think I need to buy both of them 😆
Clear and in the point, thank you
Great informative demonstration!
i like the way you explain, thank you so much for being simple and straight forward :)
