noops Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 What's the specs of that drill? Sure doesn't have the power of a Milwaukee boom drill (big bad D-handle) or a Makita 1/2" beast. I'm pretty sure my lil M12 Fuel non-hammer model could smack that down. Maybe a non-Fuel too for that matter. I've never worried about drilling a little hole like that before.

BMack37 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I don't think noops was commenting about your Dewalts Mike. I'd be pretty surprised if most of us did NOT own corded drills. I have two; one tiny B&D and a JCPenny hammer drill, obviously both are old and still work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mean corded? I'm going to assume you did, unless you decided to switch topics mid-sentance! Just checking... It's funny because there isn't a lot of talk on corded drills, and I really don't even know what's available, but they are still a very useful item to have when there is higher demand application. Mine is a Milwaukee magnum drill that has been a real workhorse, but it has a different kind of chuck on it, you hold the chuck and run the drill and it "hammers" it tight onto the bit. What kind of chuck is that called? I can't find any info on it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 As I was just saying in the chatroom, when I first joined and made my introduction thread, nobody gave a shit about my corded tools, even though they were Milwaukee, and even though I posted pictures of them. But as soon as I made a post about my 2604 purchase, all the sudden 20 + replies. Funnier still, is once I got known on here, I reposted about all my corded tools, and now people love them. lol I dont' claim to understand how the human mind works, all I know is, its funny stuff. Corded has every bit a place in this world that cordless does. There's still times where corded tools are better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano123 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I had a B&D corded hammer drill I used for years then I bought a HF hammerdrill last year. I bought a nice Milwaukee Magnum last week at an auction, I tested it but I haven't used it yet. I want to find a rotary hammer, I am just waiting for one at an auction.

Dano123 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I have drilled a few 1/2" holes in my concrete with the HF drill without any problems. It has done everything I need it to. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano123 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I know most people clown HF, but I have had good luck with the tools I have bought there. I know what to expect and they have held up. I have a couple grinders(mostly used with cutoff wheels), the 10" Miter (best $90 I ever spent), flux core welder(I have only used it once), the trim router (great tool for $20), recip saw and that hammer drill. I am sure I have others I am forgetting too. I also have quit a few of their air tools that have held up well. I will say their regular cheap air impacts suck, I have a Kobalt that does a decent job.

Dano123 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 You know I think that router is drill master and I have rounded a lot of edges with it and trimmed the back paneling on a few shelves I built. I would say don't expect much out of a drill that usually sells for 9.99 with a coupon... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noops Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I was asking about the HF specs. 4.2A... Wow. Most of that must be heat. I'll have to see what my Red and Blue drills are. I think they're closer to 10A. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
