Indusrty's Best Cordless Impact Drills

Impact drills are not just brawn, on the contrary, they offer quite a bit of brain as well. With power and versatility, one of these tools does a great deal more than simply drive screws; with the help of a brilliant, self-triggering impacting mechanism, these tools move through concrete and other seemingly impossible materials with striking ease. Ultimately, a good impact drill can make life easier on many counts, but finding the one that best suits you isn't always as easy as simply enjoying its benefits. I'd like to help you define your search for the best fitting impactor by high-lighting the industry's toughest, most impressive impact drills - some, with price-tags that will surprise you.

For heavy-duty users Makita's BTD141 (18v) cordless impact driver truly packs a wallop incorporating new features and a maximum torque motor to deliver 1,330 in/lbs of torque. Remaining compact and lightweight despite all that big power, the tool weighs only 3.4 lbs - this ergonomic shape distributes pressure evenly throughout the tool for comfortable, easy control. A built-in LED light illuminates work spaces, and a high quality heat-hardened steel proprietary hammer and anvil significantly increase the tool's overall life and durability. The tool also has an electric brake for immediate stops which not only increases your safety, but also minimizes kickback, otherwise known as "the enemy". Additionally utilizing lithium ion battery technology and an exclusive charging system that optimizes battery life and produces more than twice as many cycles, the tool is powerful, durable and terribly efficient. It's slim, cordless design renders this impactor both mobile and maneuverable an ultimately an ideal choice for everyone from the most industrial workers to the most average homeowner.

Also utilizing lithium ion battery technology, the impactor delivers a perfect union of power, controllability, and durable longevity.

The tool's two-step speed switch allows users to select between Power-Mode (0 - 2,600 RPM) or Save-Mode (0 - 2,000 RPM) for ultimate control over each task, and with Hitachi's unique Cool Flow system emitting a steady stream of air into the motor, the impactor can run harder and longer, minimizing the risk of burnout and totally increasing your productivity. At only 3.3 lbs the tool is portable and simple to control and operate providing craftsmen with surprising power in an ultra-compact design. Additionally, the tool's brushes are externally accessible for the easiest maintenance and replacements, and perhaps most importantly, the tool is covered under Hitachi's unmatched 10-year warranty. pricing at about $240 - $260, the WH14DL kit is an exceptional tool at a great buy.

In this particular instance, high-quality and high-price don't necessarily coincide. Pricing from around $195 - $225 Makita's BTD142HW is an elite tool for a remarkably good value.

The impactor's proprietary hammer and anvil are made with the highest quality (heat-hardened) steel for superior durability, and externally accessible brushes contribute to the tool's overall serviceability and longevity. An electric brake system additionally ensures safer operation and that as you work, you enjoy vastly minimized kickback, which, if you'll kindly remember, is "the enemy." Ultimately, with compact portability and serious power, the tool promises high-quality results, smooth operation, and an overall performance that will consistently, continually impress.

Appealing to users of all levels and price-ranges, Bosch's PS40-2A is known for its exceptional quality and innovative design.
