This 18V impact driver delivers up to 206Nm of fastening torque from a brushless motor, in a body only 100mm long. Three speed and torque settings, plus a Precision Drive mode, match the power to the job, from small screws to long timber fixings. It is a special edition in a black and orange motorsport finish.
How Precision Drive Protects Small Fixings
A standard impact driver at full power can overdrive small screws, strip their heads and crack the material around them. On fit-out and finishing work, that means damaged fixings, marked surfaces and time spent putting it right. Precision Drive mode gives extra control for screwdriving, so small fixings go in cleanly without damage to the screw or the surface.
Key Features
-
Brushless motor, 206Nm: drives long screws and coach screws into timber without stalling.
-
3 speed and torque settings: match the power to the fixing, from light screws to heavy bolts.
-
Precision Drive mode: extra control for small screws, protecting fixings and finished surfaces.
-
100mm compact length: reaches into confined spaces between joists, studs and cabinets.
-
1/4in drop-in bit holder: bits fit with one hand, so you can keep holding the work.
-
3 x LED Halo light ring: lights the fixing point without shadows from the chuck.
-
Belt hook: keeps the driver to hand when working on ladders or platforms.

Typical Users and Projects
Carpenters, fit-out contractors and maintenance teams use this impact driver for repetitive fixing work on new build, refurbishment and fit-out projects. Its compact length suits work between studs, joists and inside cabinets. It is a professional cordless tool, so users should be familiar with impact drivers and the right bits for each fixing.
Typical applications
-
Driving long wood screws into timber frames, studwork and joists.
-
Fixing drylining track and metal studs with self-drilling screws.
-
Assembling racking, shelving and site storage.
-
Fixing fence panels, posts and decking boards.
-
Installing brackets, hangers and fixings during maintenance work.
-
Fitting kitchen and joinery units in confined spaces.
How to use
Step 1: Charge the battery fully with the charger supplied.
Step 2: Slide the battery onto the tool until it clicks into place.
Step 3: Insert a 1/4in hex shank impact-rated bit into the drop-in holder.
Step 4: Select the speed and torque setting, or Precision Drive mode for small screws.
Step 5: Squeeze the trigger gradually to start the screw, then increase speed.
Step 6: Remove the battery before changing bits or storing the tool.
Common mistakes
-
Using standard bits that are not impact-rated, which can snap.
-
Driving small screws on the highest setting, which strips heads and damages surfaces.
-
Trying to drill masonry or concrete with an impact driver.
-
Changing bits with the battery still fitted.
-
Leaving batteries in a hot van or a freezing site cabin.
Safety
Wear eye protection, and use hearing protection for long periods of fixing, in line with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. Check for hidden cables and pipes before fixing into walls, floors and ceilings. Remove the battery before changing bits or clearing a jam. Keep the tool in good condition and inspect it regularly, as required by the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.
Maintenance
Wipe the tool with a dry cloth and keep the air vents clear of dust. Charge batteries with the supplied charger, and store them in a cool, dry place. Replace worn or damaged bits before they slip and damage fixings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much torque does this impact driver have?
A: It delivers up to 206Nm of fastening torque, with a no-load speed of up to 3,250/min. Three speed and torque settings, plus Precision Drive mode, let you reduce power for smaller fixings.
Q: What bits does it take?
A: It takes 1/4in (6.35mm) hex shank bits, which drop straight into the holder with one hand. Use impact-rated bits, as standard bits can snap under impact.
Q: Can I drill holes with it?
A: It is designed for driving fixings. For drilling, especially in masonry or concrete, use a drill driver or an SDS hammer drill.
Q: What is this impact driver not suitable for?
A: It is not suited to wheel nuts or high-torque bolts, which need an impact wrench. It should not be used for masonry drilling or with round-shank or non-impact-rated bits.
Q: Should I choose an impact driver or a drill driver?
A: An impact driver adds rotational blows, so it drives long screws with less effort and less kickback to the wrist. A drill driver is better for drilling holes and gives finer clutch control. Many trades carry both.
Q: What is Precision Drive mode?
A: It is a setting that gives extra control when screwdriving. It helps prevent overdriving small screws and damaging the fixing or the material.
Q: Will the batteries fit my other 18V tools?
A: The kit uses 18V 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries. Check the manufacturer’s battery compatibility information before using them with other 18V tools.
Q: How should I look after the batteries?
A: Charge them with the supplied charger and store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot vehicles or freezing conditions for long periods.
