Budget Hammer Drill Spade Bit Test

What happens here

The inexpensive, off-brand hammer drill from Amazon is tested with the same 1-1/4 inch Diablo speed tip spade bit. The drill struggles significantly to start and maintain drilling through the 4x4 wood block. It requires the user to apply substantial pressure and switch to a lower speed setting to complete the hole. This starkly contrasts with the effortless performance of the premium drills.

Goal: Demonstrate the performance difference of a budget hammer drill
