Are more expensive drills really worth it? DIY Montreal 2023-04-05 | I get a lot of pushback because of the fact that I use entry-level (inexpensive) drills. You’ll either see me using a Ryobi drill or a Craftsman drill, and frankly I’m happy with them. They do the job I need them to do, and they didn’t break the bank. I didn’t choose these drills because I’m cheap. I invest in plenty of tools when I think the added features are worth the cost. But when it comes to drills, I just don’t believe that more expensive is better. Am I wrong? Well, today I’m putting some of the most popular brands to the test to find out (Milwaukee, DeWalt, Festool, Ridgid, Ryobi and Craftsman). And I can tell you know, you’ll be surprised to find out which one is the best cordless drill of 2023! ►DRILLS TESTED (affiliate links):· Craftsman CMCD700 amzn.to/3MeF6fm · Ryobi PCL206 amzn.to/4350c5Q · Ridgid R8701 amzn.to/3ZObXup · Dewalt Max XR DCD800 amzn.to/3ZJ3Orn · Milwaukee M18 2801 amzn.to/3GjTWxv · Festool T18+3 amzn.to/40Jqwkj ►ALL MY TOOLS & GEARdiymontreal.com/my-tools-and-gear ►PLANS & ONLINE STOREdiymontreal.com/shop ►Sign up for my NEWSLETTER: project updates, plans, woodworking book of the month and more!http://eepurl.com/gVbt21 ►SUPPORT ME ON PATREONhttp://bit.ly/3cVCFLj Stickers, discount on plans & more►Follow me on SOCIAL MEDIA· Instagram instagram.com/diymontreal · TikTok tiktok.com/@diymontreal · Pinterest pinterest.ca/diymontreal · Facebook facebook.com/DIYMTL · YouTube youtube.com/c/diymontreal?sub_confirmation=1 ►CHAPTERS0:00 Are more expensive drills really worth it?0:38 How I chose which drills to test2:57 Drill models and price points5:01 How I’ll test the drills6:29 Tool specs comparison9:04 Test #1 - Speed drilling13:36 Test #2 - Driving screws until the battery runs out19:11 Test #3 - Timed lag screw test22:26 And the winner is… ►Written articlediymontreal.com/are-more-expensive-drills-really-better ►MUSICSound Effects from pixabay.com/sound-effects/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=95219
