  1. Yeah, but if you're doing 150+ holes a day roughing in new construction, it's like spending money on coffee every morning. Seems insignificant, but the time/cost over a year is very measurable. The guy who isn't being paid by the hour saving 6 minutes a day amounts to 26 hours in a year. More than half a work week. 

  2. If that's the case then it's certainly more beneficial to pull plugs off quickly. I think kerf likely does play a role.

     

    As for purchases, amazon Canada has had some stellar prices on FlexVolt accessories so I picked up a 12" 60 tooth blade for $34 CAD/$25 USD, and a 2 dollar cut off disk lol. Depending on how things work out price:performance, especially with grinder disks, we will see whether I pay Freud twice as much for Diablo stuff. (For 7.25" circ saw blades Diablo is easily the best value here).

  3. Definitely looks like he's having troubles popping them out there. I don't know that a daredevil as a pilot would solve that in that case. 

     

    Re: durability/longevity most of these tools are based off corded tools that have been around as long as I have lol. Apples to apples you're going to get a tool that lasts if you don't abuse it. 

     

    That said, in a lot of instances I have an opinion on which is going to last longer and I have one in this instance as well lol. 

  4. Impact energy and no-load rpm are pretty straightforward. Rpm under load can change fairly drastically but how hard something hits is how hard something hits...

     

    but god damn... M18 Fuel hits harder, spins faster, more blows per minute, and weighs less. Plus it's been on the market for years, and seems universally acclaimed. Umm...

    Okay, just for giggles, I tried the largest of the 10-pack, the 1-1/4", in my new M18 gen-2 hammer drill, 2704-20. At 2,000 screamin' RPM, and with the crazy torque this thing has, through doubled 2x's is literally a 3-count, and like the proverbial butter. That's what these are intended for, fast boring is framing members, not as a replacement for other applications that you'd use a traditional spade bit.

     

    Next project is to cut a 3/8" down in length a little, try is as the pilot bit in my Milwaukee Big Hawgs, which are crazy fast already, for larger holes, but should be even quicker, pulling them through with the Daredevil spur.

    Same drill with the 1-1/2" daredevil and same application you can bend the bit with minimal effort. Ask me how I know lol. 

     

    To the above, I prefer the Speedbor Max to the Daredevil, but the standard Speedbor are now my junk-it bits because Daredevils are far superior. 

  6. Dewalt's lighting is really pathetic. Big part of why I'm still keeping a decent arsenal of red; nobody can touch them. Foolish to stick with one platform though. I'm liking the small trend of hybrid tools that can be ran off battery or extension cords. It's the first step in manufacturers opening up their walled-in ecosystems the tiniest bit.
