Drill, Impact Driver, or Hammer Drill? The Real Difference

What this episode covers

Buying a drill seems simple—until you snap a bit in tile or burn out a motor on concrete. This episode breaks down the three drill types (regular drill, impact driver, and hammer drill), explains which bits work for wood, metal, masonry, and tile, and reveals why product packaging deliberately blurs the lines. You'll learn why cobalt bits beat titanium for hard metals, how to avoid annealing a bit in ten seconds, and why an SDS rotary hammer is the only real tool for poured concrete. Plus: bit storage that prevents rust, and the essential bits your starter kit left out.
