Live: Prepping for Makita vs Bosch video
What happens here
The presenter moves on to test the drill performance. He inserts a Forstner bit into the Makita drill and quickly drills a clean hole in a new piece of wood. He praises the clean cut of the hole. He then attempts to do the same with the Bosch drill, but first tries to extract the lag bolt with a larger Milwaukee impact driver, successfully removing it. He states that the Bosch drill feels 'chintsy' and lightweight, unlike the powerful Bosch impact driver. He expresses initial doubt about the Bosch drill's performance based on its feel, suggesting it might only be suitable for household tasks.
Goal: Test the drills' performance and re-evaluate initial judgments based on feel.
