A drill won't put lag bolts, coach bolts or screws into oak,
I've ruined hundreds of screws trying.
Even pilot holed, you end up tearing the top off.
Never had that issue since I bought an 18v impact driver.

If you're doing a lot of screws into Oak an impact wrench does it even faster. I tried it as an experiment once and it was three times the speed so I always do it now. Takes a few seconds for my Milwaukee to put a 6inch Tek into Oak posts which is a big step up from 6inch nails a few years ago. ?

I can only surmise that neither of you have a big enough tool...?

 

I have a Makita 285 impact wrench and the top end brushless dril- 482 I think. Drill wins every time.

 

If you're ripping the top off the screw, that proves my point about the drill having more sustained torque- try Turbo Coach Screws from Screwfix, they're really good.

I'm going to experiment tomorrow with all 3 tools and get back to you.?

No bud, I'm a professional.
Screwfix is overpriced crap.
It's for budding tradesmen who don't know any better yet.

You're right about the torque though. [emoji106]

Shows how much you know. ?

I use tool station 95 percent of the time, but the turbo coach screws are a product I have used for years and can recommend. Along with the easydrive concrete screws.

You on about B&Q? ?

Travis Perkins, wickes, screwfix, absolute jokers.
I haven't bought from them in about 5 years.
Maybe they've changed but I doubt it.

You have to know what to buy and from where. There’s no one supplier that’s best for everything. 
 

Toolstation I like because there’s only £10 minimum order for free next day delivery.
