A handful of force

When renovating my workshop I had to drill holes in 2 x 6 joists and 2 x 4 studs to run electrical wires the full length of the walls. The DeWalt DW245 had more than enough power to get the job done. He cut through those rivets like a hot knife through butter. Tip, use the spin button. If you don't, you will miss this exercise.

Pros
  • Two finger rubber trigger for extra comfort
Cons
  • No power

Expensive drill repairs

I bought a dw511 years ago. Not on Raven. Used in the household for normal drilling and screwdriving, no impact drilling.

Pros
  • Triple gearbox provides more torque and reduces gearbox stress
Cons
  • High price

Died after almost 13 months of non-use!

I bought this drill for my 2-4 inch hole saws. Thought it would be great with an angled handle and powerful amp. I have to say it worked perfectly for the 1st warranty period. Shortly thereafter (13 months) it just stopped for me when I drilled a 1/2" hole for a lag bolt. I was very disappointed. I have a Milwaukee 20 year old (6.8 amp with no angle handle) that always still working as well as the day I bought it. When Dewalt died I replaced it with another 1/2" Milwaukee drive with handle. I…

Pros
  • Metal gear housing for long life and mains drill reliability
Cons
  • Very expensive
