This should start driving the screw. Over-tightening in this application can often crack the boards. In this case, keep applying pressure until the screw head has sunk into the wood. The drill will then apply more torque, driving your screw into the wood. For softwoods, start your torque between 5 and 8, for hardwoods between 13 and To remove screws, select the rotation adjuster so that the drill turns counterclockwise. Insert the drill bit into the screw head, and start the drill.
This will reverse the screw out of the hole. Good news! The primary purpose of an impact driver is to drive screws. While an adapter such as this one by Makita can be used to in order for impact drivers to be used as drills, impact drivers are generally designed to drive screws. Hammer drills are designed to drive screws into masonry.
Because of this, yes, hammer drills can be used to drive screws into a variety of materials, not just masonry. Typically, hammer drills are heavy duty tools that are both heavier and more expensive than a typical drill driver. I would not recommend them for the average homeowner, unless you anticipate doing a significant amount of masonry work.

By Evan Gillespie Updated July 17, The Drip Cap Spending all day driving screws is a tiring job, especially if the tool you're using to do it is bulky and heavy. What Are the Disadvantages of Screws? Copyright Leaf Group Ltd. I've used both and the difference is night and day. With the high torque of the screwdriver I have often driven screws into wood without predrilling at all.
Also the good screwdrivers have torque limiters that let you set the maximum torque--set the cutoff where you want it and when the screw is fully driven the limiter kicks in rather than snapping the head off the screw. I have a Black and Decker 14 volt cordless drill that I use as both a drill and a screwdriver. I've had it for about 8 years now and it's been one of the most useful tools I've ever purchased. It is reversible and has adjustable speeds and torques. It came with an extra battery I keep which-ever battery I'm not using on the charger at all times.
I would think that a drill is more useful since you can attach any type of bit to it , including all types of screw drivers star, flat, philips, etc , actual drill bits of various sizes, and other miscellaneous attachments. As an aside, I had a Black and Decker drill whose battery charger actually stopped working after 3 years or so. I recently bought a Ryobi and am hoping that it will last much longer. A screwdriver might be good if you are about to move into an unfurnished home and assemble a zillion items of flat-pack Swedish furniture and then never ever do DIY again.
Of course you'll spend a lot of time waiting for your screwdriver to charge up. I mostly use a corded electric drill these days for drilling and screwdriving, being a bit concerned about environmental and end-of-life issues related to cordless gear that gets abandoned by the manufacturer and needs to be replaced when the battery dies.
The only thing I miss is the torque control. With an electric drill, you're in full control to under- or over-do things as much as you can handle.
It's nice to have the option of torque control where you may do damage without it. However, this hasn't yet motivated me to buy an electric screwdriver.
Most electric drills have screw driver attachments that are fine for screwing in but not for screw removal. When you remove a screw, the fingers that grab the screwdriver come apart as if you were removing a drill bit. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
