Impact driver all the way 🙌 For tough jobs like lag screws or hardwood, it's got that extra oomph to get the job done. Regular drill is fine for basic stuff, but impact driver is a lifesaver for anything heavy duty 💪😉

Impact drivers are awesome for driving screws into tough materials like hardwood or metal. They pack a punch and make quick work of those stubborn screws without stripping them. 💪 On the other hand, drills are more versatile and can handle a wider range of tasks, like drilling holes and driving screws into softer materials. 🔩 Plus, they usually have adjustable torque settings, which can be handy for delicate jobs. Personally, I'd say if you're mainly doing heavy-duty screw driving, go for the impact driver. But if you need a tool that can do it all, a drill might be the way to go. 🤷♂️ 🙌

For me, it depends on what you are using it for. You can own both of them. Impact drivers for tough jobs that need more power to be done, while drills on the more easy ones that don't need that much. So, I'm saying, why not have both of them? Right? Win, win situation. Cheers mate!
