What is the difference between thw Dewalt Impact driver and the Dewalt Hammer drill?
153148
The difference is in the direction of the impact force. The hammer drill exerts the force along the bit as it hits the material being drilled, while the impact driver exerts the force perpendicular to the bit (same direction of the rotation).

The chuck is the primary difference. An impact driver has a 1/4" hex quick-release chuck. The hammer drill has a regular drill chuck. Different mission, also. The impact driver is used to install and remove screws and nuts. A hammer drill drills holes in various materials but excels in putting holes in masonry, concrete or stone.

A hammer drill its just a drill and a small percussion drive used to drive carbide or diamond tip drill bits easier into concrete or other hard materials.An impact driver is usually used to tighten or loosen bolts and nuts with impact type sockets.

Yes, both of them do. The hammer drill has a light mounted down by the battery clip that shines upward at a 45-degree angle, which is good because your own hand doesn't get in the way of the light. The impact wrench has a small but bright LED light mounted just below the chuck, pointing straight ahead. I've never used the impact wrench in the dark so I can't comment on the effectiveness of that light, but the one on the drill is just fine.

Ron,On my set, the Impact Driver does not have a clutch, but is reversible. The drill does have a clutch and is reversable

I use them with a cordless hammer drill. I don't believe the "pounding" action is the same with an impact driver. My impact won't take straight bits, so I have never tried it.

Included in this set are: Hammer Driver-Drill LXPH01 and Impact Drive LXDT04. (Note that there isn't a letter Z on the end of the model #)

An impact driver is made to aid in rotating torque to tighten and loosen bolts, lugs etc., a hammer drill applies force towards the medium being drilled into.. like concrete, in which a regular drill and bit would not be able to bore into unless force was being applied toward the concrete.

Both kits include the DCF886 1/4" impact, but the DCK281D2 includes the DCD790 1/2" drill/driver, and the DCK286D2 includes the DCD795 1/2 hammer drill. The latter is especially good for masonry drilling. Both sets are of the "compact" variety, but the DCD790 is a bit shorter which you could find useful in tight spots. DeWalt also sell heavier duty models which are heavier (heh, heh) and have bigger batteries for longer lasting charges. For the typical weekend warier the compact models are probably perfectly adequate. Beware DeWalt also still sells models which are NOT brushless. They're cheaper, but I'd definitely go for the brushless models.

I really don't know. My kit didn't include the advertised drills: the 18V LXT 1/2" Hammer Driver-Drill (BHP454) is actually an LXPH03, and the 18V LXT Impact Driver (BTD141) is in fact an LXDT04.But, I'm more than happy with what I received, by the way.Another user said that the advertised combination was being phased out, and that Amazon held stocks of both the old and the new combination.Sorry I can't help more.jjj

Thanks for asking this question. After reading it I replaced the BHP454 in my cart for the combo. Hopefully the hammer drill is in fact the same model and not a slight variation with lesser quality components. I will find out in a few days.

The drill in the LXT239 (LXPH05Z) does not have Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), which "is engineered for increased dust and water resistance for operation in harsh jobsite conditions," while the drill in the XT248 kit (XPH06Z) does. The impact drivers are the same (LXDT08Z), although that impact driver has now been discontinued and replaced by a newer model.I could not find the LXT239 kit at HD for a price comparison, but I can't imagine anyone not wanting the XPT protection, or much of a price difference, for that matter.

The Dewalt is a hammer drill, made for regular and concrete applications. Dewalt falsely advertises the 210 as variable speedwhich it isn't. Touch the trigger and it cooks! Also, let off the trigger and it has no brake. It continues to spin til it gradually slows to a stop. The 210 has mega low torque power. If you want a drill for all applications, buy the hatachi 9 volt model, D13VG. Plenty of low end torque plus a brake; let off the juice and the drill obediently stops. Cheaper, too.

I have both the 18v and 20v dewalt hammer drills and have found the torgue and speed driving 1/2"x8" lage bolts into salt treated 8x8" to be superior with the 20v. I have found with the 20v, when drilling through steel to be very careful and have a good grip so if it binds you don't twist your wrist. For both the money and performance I would chose the 20v. However, I have never removed any head bolts with it, but have hammered off rusted gas tank straps with ease.

I have seen both the 1/2 inch impacts 20volt on Amazon, not sure wich one your looking for.If you go on the dewalt website they list alot of bare tools there.I found the part number on the one I wanted and then searched Amazon again and found it quickly.I love the new tools,battery life is amazing and the short bodied driver fits almost anywhere.

This is NOT a hammer drill. It is just a standard drill/driver. The driver part is just a function that lets you drive screws and such. It has a collar that rotates from a drill function to a screw driver with a variable clutch to control the torque applied to various screw sizes.

Well you might want the PS130 as it has the Hammer Drill feature used in concrete. Impact rate from 0-19,500.Sorry earlier post said PS131 but I ment PS130.
