This is where I ask why an impact driver vs a regular driver?

When my house was built 17 years ago I don't recall anyone having an impact driver. Why do they seem all the rage now?

Vs a hammer drill since use on “some brick/stone” was mentioned.*

But think I've also seen them used for wood and wasn't certain why.

because of the different motor, it avoids “camming out” where the drill bit slips out of the screw

And strips the screw, is a big advantage. Virtually no kickback. No need for pre-drilling. Mor compact for tighter spots. Less muscle pressure needed to drive a fastener. Those are a few.

Kind of a game changer. I’m late to the party.

For brick / stone do you use Tapcon screws?

For having a house that's like 92% brick I don't really have anything hanging off the house. Not even a flagpole holder. Never wanted to drill into the brick. *shrug*

I do, but I may look into ATL’s suggestion. Always had good luck with Tapcon.

We have old Chicago fire brick which I find superior to modern brick and it’s a bitch to pre-drill

I have a Dewalt set (hammer drill and impact driver). I have yet to use the impact driver.

Mostly because I usually only have one or two holes to drill at a time. In fact, used the hammer drill to pre-drill holes in deck posts on Sunday night to attach our mosquito repellant system.

Haven’t used a hammer drill, but the impact drivers is really designed to driver fasteners

it senses the resistance and then goes into beast mode. You can use it to drill, but impact drills require their own special bits. Perfect for putting down decks or replacing fences. No pre-drilling necessary. Even 3” fasteners are a breeze.

I borrowed one to build a (hopefully) no-sag fence gate. Really cut down on time. Let’s just hope I have the compression brace installed correctly

I went for a hammer drill when I had a TV wall mount that needed to go into some stone.

This one, a DeWalt DCD999

Did the job for that work. Impact driver would be nice for large projects like decks though I’m hoping I never have to do one of those ever again myself.

Also, I typically use Tapcon screws when I drive into brick but I also drive into the morter

Get impact driver from whatever battery brand you already own.

If you don't have any other battery tools, Harbor freight is always the easy answer.
