Unboxing and Testing Dewalt vs Milwaukee's Best: Which Reigns Supreme?
What happens here
For a 'fun' and unconventional test, the inexpensive Amazon impact driver is used to attempt drilling a 1-1/4 inch hole with the Diablo spade bit into the 4x4 wood block. As expected, an impact driver is not designed for this type of drilling, and it struggles immensely, producing significant friction, smoke, and very slow progress. This highlights the importance of using the correct tool for the job.
Goal: Demonstrate improper tool usage and its consequences
