Endurance Test: Flex vs Rigid at Setting 2 - Turbo Off
What happens here
Begin by setting up a stable workstation, ideally a workbench, and securely fasten a thick piece of wood, such as a 4x4 or larger timber block, to prevent any movement during drilling. Gather the two cordless drill drivers you intend to test, specifically a Flex and a Ridgid drill driver as demonstrated in the video. Prepare a sufficient supply of long wood screws, approximately 6 inches in length, and ensure that the appropriate drill bits (e.g., a bit suitable for driving these screws) are securely attached to each drill. Wear safety glasses and work gloves for protection.
Goal: Set up the testing environment and prepare both drill drivers and screws.
