Tool shoot prep.
What happens here
The presenter switches to the Bauer drill, equips it with a screw bit, and attempts to drive a screw. He immediately notices issues: the chuck is crooked and wobbling, and he smells burnt plastic, suggesting it might not be a brushless motor despite his expectation. This unexpected issue highlights the importance of pre-testing. He attempts to remove previously driven lag bolts with the Bauer drill, struggling significantly and even nearly injuring his wrist due to the tool's performance and the tightness of the bolts. He concludes that these lag bolts are 'definitely not coming out.'
Goal: Test the Bauer drill's performance and identify potential problems
