Unboxed and Abused: Hercules Vs Bauer Drill - What You need to Know.
What happens here
The presenter continues testing the drill/drivers by attempting to drive 6-3/8 inch deck screws into the wood block. The Hercules drill/driver with an 8.0Ah battery successfully drives the screws, though it requires a higher speed setting for optimal performance. The Bauer drill/driver again struggles, barely driving the screws partially before stopping, and even starts to smell like burning plastic. This reinforces the Hercules' superior power and efficiency.
Goal: Assess drill/driver capability for driving large screws.
