Multymeter.com-Technology: Technology makes work easier. Likewise, the existence of cordless drills and impact drills has an important role in construction, mechanical, or other work.
However, it should be noted that although cordless drills and impact drills are almost the same in shape, they have different functions. The main difference is in the use, power, and working methods for cordless drills and impact drills.
Here is a comparison:
- Cordless Drill
• Power Source: Uses a battery (usually Li-ion), usually has a standard speed of 350 -1759 rpm, and a maximum torque starting from 35NM. However, this value may differ in each product brand.
• Usefulness: Suitable for light to medium work, such as drilling wood, plastic, or thin metal.
Advantages:
• Portable and flexible because it is cordless.
• Easy to use for work in hard-to-reach places.
Disadvantages:
• Limited power according to battery capacity.
• Less effective for hard materials such as concrete without additional features.
- Impact Drill Machine
Power Source: Can use electricity (corded) or battery (cordless). Impact drill machines usually have speeds of up to 4000 RPM, and maximum torque of up to 680 NM and this value may vary by brand.
Use:
• Stronger than ordinary drills, suitable for hard materials such as concrete, stone, and steel.
• And for mechanics, impact drills are often used to remove nuts and bolts from motor vehicles.
How it Works:
Using an impact mechanism that provides stronger pressure when drilling.
Advantages:
• More powerful and effective for hard materials.
• Can be used for construction or renovation work.
Disadvantages:
• Heavier than ordinary cordless drills.
• Can be noisier and produce greater vibrations.
Conclusion
Cordless drills are suitable for light to medium work, more flexible and easy to carry.
Impact drills are stronger and suitable for heavy work, especially if you often drill concrete or hard materials.
If you work with concrete a lot, you may want to opt for an impact drill. However, if you do more light work or want flexibility, a cordless drill is the way to go.***
