Drive screws and bolts fast with Metabo impact drivers
When you're driving deck screws all day or bolting frames together on site, a Metabo impact driver gives you the speed and control to get through the work without your wrist wearing out. These tools pack serious torque into a compact body, making them a go-to gear for chippies, builders and anyone who needs to sink fasteners fast and tight.
These drivers handle everything from light assembly work to heavy structural fastening. The brushless models deliver longer runtime and less maintenance, while the pulse mode helps prevent cam-out on delicate materials. You'll find both 18V and 12V options, depending on whether you need max power or something lighter for overhead work and tight spots.
These drivers work across Metabo's CAS battery system, so if you're already running their grinders, drills or saws you're set. The tool-free bit changes speed up switching between driver bits and drill bits when you're bouncing between tasks. We stock the full range of Metabo cordless tools to keep your kit running on one platform.

Metabo impact driver FAQ
What's the difference between a drill and an impact driver?
An impact driver delivers rotational force with quick bursts of impact, which makes it better for driving screws and bolts without stripping heads or stalling. Drills offer smooth, consistent rotation suited to making holes and lighter fastening tasks. These tools handle higher torque applications and reduce wrist strain when you're sinking long screws into hardwood or steel.
Can you drill with an impact driver?
You can drill with one using hex-shank drill bits, but they're not ideal for precision hole-making. The hammering action can cause the bit to walk or produce rougher holes compared to a standard drill. They work fine for quick pilot holes or rough carpentry, but grab a proper drill for clean, accurate drilling.
What battery does a Metabo impact driver use?
These tools run on Metabo's CAS battery system, available in both 18V and 12V platforms. The 18V batteries deliver 1.5–3 hours of continuous driving depending on load and battery capacity (2.0Ah to 5.5Ah range), while the 12V packs offer 45 minutes to 2 hours for lighter work. All CAS batteries work across Metabo's cordless range, so you can swap between your driver, grinder and saw without needing separate chargers.
How do I maintain my impact driver?
Keep your driver running smoothly by:
Cleaning dust and debris from the vents after heavy use
Checking the chuck and bit holder for wear
Storing batteries charged between 30–80% when not in use
Running the tool under load occasionally to keep the motor healthy
Brushless models need less upkeep, but keeping them clean extends their lifespan either way.
What size impact driver do I need?
For general building and carpentry, an 18V model handles most tasks from framing to decking. If you're doing lighter fit-out work, cabinetry or working in tight spaces, a 12V driver gives you enough grunt without the bulk. Match the tool to the screws you drive most; longer fasteners and denser timber need the extra torque of an 18V unit.
