Power Tool Wars: Bauer vs. Hercules Impact Drill Driver Comparison
What happens here
Next, pick up the Bauer impact driver, ensuring it has a charged 20V 1.5Ah Hypermax Lithium-Ion battery and the correct impact bit. Select a new, unmarked spot on the stacked lumber, ideally adjacent to where the Hercules driver was tested, and drive a long wood screw. Closely observe and compare its performance to the Hercules driver. Note the speed at which it drives the screw, its apparent power, and any differences in vibration or handling. The video shows driving several screws with the Bauer driver.
Goal: Assess the performance characteristics of the Bauer impact driver.
