Drill vs impact!

What happens here

To further illustrate the difference, the presenter performs a side-by-side comparison by drilling two holes simultaneously into the wood block, one with the drill and one with the impact driver, both fitted with spade bits. This demonstration clearly shows that the drill operates much more smoothly when creating holes, while the impact driver's hammering action makes it less ideal for precision drilling tasks and can be more jarring.

Goal: Visually compare the drilling performance of a drill vs. an impact driver.

driver is compact, more lightweight, and makes less effort of driving in bigger lags. You can see when [snorts] I run these two spade bits side by side, how much smoother the drill is for drilling holes over the impact. Grab your drill when you need to drill a lot of repeated holes, when you need to use a spade bit or a drill bit when you're drilling into softer material and you need more control, whether it's with
