Ütvecsavarozók

Ütvecsavarozók, often translated as impact drivers, are power tools designed for high-torque applications, particularly those involving driving screws and fasteners into tough materials. They differ from standard drills in their mechanism, which delivers a rapid, rotational impact force combined with a sudden axial thrust. This action is initiated when the tool encounters resistance, engaging a hammer and anvil mechanism.

The primary advantage of an ütvecsavarozó is its ability to generate significantly more torque than a conventional drill, making it ideal for tasks like driving long screws, lag bolts, or loosening stubborn, rusted fasteners. This power comes at the cost of precision; the impact action can make delicate work challenging and may strip screw heads if not used carefully.

Commonly powered by rechargeable batteries, ütvecsavarozók feature a chuck that typically accepts 1/4-inch hex bits. They are widely used in construction, automotive repair, and DIY projects where substantial fastening power is required. While they can perform some drilling functions with appropriate bits, their primary strength lies in their impact-driving capability. Users often employ them in conjunction with a standard drill for a complete range of fastening and drilling needs.
