Review on 🔧 Improved DEWALT DWAFV02916PB Carbide Blade with FLEXVOLT Technology for Enhanced Performance by David Pirlet

I am renovating our kitchen. In order to move the sink and dishwasher drain, I had to drill a 2" hole in the main beam in the basement. This beam consists of 3 boards 2X12. Having drilled similar joists in the past I was apprehensive about trying this again. Last time it took two hours of hard work and three hole saws. The DEWALT FLEXVOLT Woodworking Hole Saw, Carbide, Pilot Hole, 2-9/16" (DWAFV02916PB) was fantastic! I made a test hole in a piece of wood as I didn't need to test the Flex Volt while standing on the floor on the stairs. The U-TUBE info advises to take it easy and let the tool do its job. This was proven by drilling a test hole. Using a DeWalt 18V drill at full speed, I used very little force to keep the Flex Volt from binding.I finally got the pressure right and the speed and ease was great.Now I went up the stairs and pierced the first plank--three minutes!and the ball went out. The next two boards in the joist went great and a 2 9/16 hole in 5" wood was completed in ten minutes. Dave Gable.
