Powerful impact driver for large fasteners

The Yato company produces a large line of drills and screwdrivers, in which the Yato YT-82800 stands out brighter than others - a tool with high torque (160 Nm). Its body is made of reinforced polyamide, and the gearbox is entirely metal. The chuck can rotate at speeds up to 3000 rpm. The impact frequency is proportional to the speed and reaches 3000 beats/min. The rotation speed and tightening force of the fasteners are adjusted using the start key (the harder it is pressed, the faster the screwdriver turns). Only “long” bits and adapters can be inserted into the chuck (that is, those types of equipment that are at least 50 mm long and equipped with a special “groove” for fixation with a ball). Along the perimeter of the chuck there are three LEDs that provide illumination of the working area during operation, and a metal hook is screwed to the handle, allowing you to hang the tool on a belt when you need to free your hands. 18-volt Yato batteries are used as a power source. The kit includes one 2 Ah battery and a charger for it.

Inexpensive because it is household

Screwdrivers with technical characteristics such as the Yato YT-82800 are excellent for working with long carpentry screws. They can be used for the installation of formwork and roofing structures, as well as the installation of clamps and fasteners when stretching cable routes and pipelines. The very compact body allows you to work in hard-to-reach places, and the low weight (1.1 kg) allows you to work above head level without much fatigue. But it should be noted that this screwdriver is, after all, a household-grade power tool (this is understandable even at its low price) and is not particularly suitable for long-term work with a heavy load. For example, we noticed that it is prone to overheating - after 10 - 20 long screws, tightened one after another without pause, the gearbox body heats up to such an extent that it is uncomfortable to touch it with bare hands. Therefore, for professional needs and intensive use, we recommend choosing another option.
