What happens here

Two drills are tested drilling into pressure-treated lumber: a Kobalt 24V drill and a Ridgid X5 drill. The Kobalt drill completes the task significantly faster (4-5 seconds faster). The presenter explains that this performance difference is due to the Kobalt's motor design and its 24V power, which provides about 33% more power compared to the 18V Ridgid. Both drills are set to hammer drill mode at the same speed and are fully charged, emphasizing that Kobalt offers superior power and value.

Goal: Compare the drilling speed and power of the Kobalt 24V drill against the Ridgid X5 drill.
