AUDIENCE and SCOPE
The purpose of this article is to inform contractors about a new type of cordless screw gun called
an impact driver and how this innovative tool can save them both time and money. A cordless
screw gun is a necessity for any successful contractor, therefore they already know their
importance to their line of work, but many don’t know how this new impact driver would be
even more beneficial to them. An article such as this would be found in any magazine that deals
with the construction industry or any home improvement magazine.

The torque created from the hammer & anvil system is transferred throughout the drill
and not into the hand of the operator. A conventional hammer drill sends vibrations all
the way up the arm of the operator.
The added torque allows the driver to driver screws faster than conventional screw guns.
It also take the torque out of operators hands. In conventional screw guns the max torque
than can be applied is equal to the strenth of the operator.
Because it drives screws faster and more efficiently, productivity rates will increase.
It can drive longer screws into harder material with ease, without stripping the head off
the screw
The hammer and anvil don’t require any additional power to create the additional torque.
This means the rechargeable battery lasts just as long, and less time is spent re-charging
batteries.
Can loosen rusty bolts with ease
It weighs on average 3.5 lbs for an 18V unit. This lightweight
enables the operator to work longer without worrying about
fatigue.
It employs a quick release chuck system that uses screw bits like
the one shown in figure 5. This allows for faster bit changes, and
eliminates slip. Conventional drills slip if the chuck isn’t tight
enough on the bit.
Small compact design enables it to be used in places that
conventional cordless drills cannot fit into.
