FAQ

Consider your usage – will you mostly drive screws or also drill in wood, metal or concrete? Key specs include torque (Nm), number of gears, chuck size, RPM, and whether it has hammer mode for masonry.
A drill driver is more versatile and suitable for both drilling and screwdriving. An impact driver is designed for driving longer or thicker screws and delivers higher torque with impacts.
It depends on capacity (Ah) and workload. A 2.0–5.0 Ah battery usually lasts several hours for normal screwdriving and light drilling. Heavier tasks will drain the battery faster.
Wipe down the tool, keep the chuck and ventilation openings clean, and charge the battery as instructed. Store it in a dry place, protected from impacts and cold.
If you use the tool frequently or want longer durability, yes. Professional models usually have more powerful motors, tougher builds, and better battery performance.
