An impact wrench (also known as an impactor, impact gun, air wrench, air gun, rattle gun, torque gun, windy gun) is a socket wrench power tool designed to deliver high torque output with minimal exertion by the user, by storing energy in a rotating mass, then delivering it suddenly to the output shaft ...

  3. Impact driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_driver

    An electric impact driver typically delivers less torque and accepts smaller tool bits than an impact wrench. This makes the impact driver more suitable for driving smaller screws in (for example) construction work, while an impact wrench is preferred in situations requiring more torque to drive larger bolts and nuts (such as lug nuts).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_wrench

    Socket set with ratchet (above), four hex sockets and a universal joint. A socket wrench (or socket spanner) is a type of spanner (or wrench [1] in North American English) that uses a closed socket format, rather than a typical open wrench/spanner to turn a fastener, typically in the form of a nut or bolt.

    Nominal (thread) sizes range from 0.1875 to 0.375 in (4.763 to 9.525 mm) and lengths from 1.25 to 5 in (32 to 127 mm). Typically an installer uses a hammer drill to make a pilot hole for each concrete screw and a powered impact driver to drive the screw. The drill hole should be 1/2" longer than the depth penetration of the screw.
