Impact Driver

Impact drivers deliver rotational force in short, hammering bursts — higher torque than a standard drill-driver, less bulk than an impact wrench. The 1/4" hex chuck takes standard screwdriver bits and short hex-shank drill bits. Common use: driving long screws into timber, self-tappers into steel, coach bolts, decking, and repetitive fastening work where a drill would bog down or strip heads.

Voltage dictates torque and runtime under load. 10.8V models suit light assembly and cabinet work. 12V handles most timber framing and general joinery. 20V covers heavy decking, steel fixings, and all-day site work. Brushless motors run cooler and last longer than brushed equivalents — worth the step-up if the tool sees regular use.

Check the maximum torque spec and compare it to fastener requirements. Driving M10 coach bolts needs more grunt than deck screws. Variable speed trigger and multiple torque settings prevent overtightening in softer materials. LED work lights are standard; some models include a belt clip.

Kits include batteries and a charger. Body-only options make sense if you already run tools on the same battery platform — check the amp-hour rating matches your typical job length. A 2Ah cell suits intermittent work; 4Ah or higher for continuous driving. Sealey and Premier kits here use interchangeable batteries across their respective SV-series ranges.

Frequently asked questions

What is an impact driver used for?
An impact driver delivers rotational force in short, hammering bursts to drive long screws into timber, self-tappers into steel, coach bolts, and decking. It provides higher torque than a standard drill-driver with less bulk than an impact wrench, making it suited to repetitive fastening work where a drill would bog down or strip heads.
What voltage impact driver do I need for timber framing?
A 12V impact driver handles most timber framing and general joinery. For heavier applications like decking, steel fixings, or all-day site work, a 20V model provides more torque and runtime under load.
Can I use an impact driver with standard screwdriver bits?
Yes. The 1/4" hex chuck on an impact driver takes standard screwdriver bits and short hex-shank drill bits.
What is the difference between an impact driver and an impact wrench?
An impact driver uses a 1/4" hex chuck for screwdriver bits and is designed for driving screws and fasteners. An impact wrench is bulkier, typically uses a square drive for sockets, and is built for loosening and tightening nuts and bolts with higher torque.
Are brushless impact drivers worth the extra cost?
Brushless motors run cooler and last longer than brushed equivalents, making them worth the step-up if the tool sees regular use.
Do Sealey impact driver batteries work across other tools?
Yes. Sealey kits use interchangeable batteries across their SV-series ranges, so a battery from one tool will work with other tools on the same voltage platform.
