The Bosch Drill: amzn.to/3WZDmtQ Kit: amzn.to/3qDFV8M Snap-On: shop.snapon.com/product/CDR90...
On today's episode we test the new Snap-On CDR9050 Cordless Hammer Drill vs the Worlds Most Power Drill BOSCH GSB18V-1330 otherwise known as GSB 18V-150 in the rest of the world.
These are two monsters of a drill, and I can see why you guys wanted to see them. Good on ya!

Torque Channel is the thorn in the side of marketing departments everywhere!!!
In this case i think we just accidently helped bolster some marketing claims, which per channel rules means we get 40 lashes with a strap wrench or have make another stun video video :D
Or great marketing if you sell good tools honestly
@TorqueTestChannel your channel is top notch. Thank you gor all your hard work. Did you make a hole hawg video?
@@TorqueTestChannelou and project farm are always like that. Lol. Not sponsored, and quality, honest content.
Seriously. Imagine their R&D/marketing meetings:
Exec 1: we're going to call this new impact The Milwaukee Killer and we'll market it as a 1000 ft lbs.
Exec 2: don't forget about the Torque Test Channel.
Exec 1: ...damnit.
So cool to see PROFACTOR Hammer Drill/Driver come out on top! Thanks for sharing this awesome test.
You guys need to bring back 36v.
It is so cool indeed. Let's go Bosch! 💪 I love Bosch!
@@mrbigberd They don't have to, because they are getting the same 36V equivalent power out of their new 18V batteries System. I have tested that to prove that. So no need for that. Plus 18V is general market voltage for cordless tools.
@@dellusionportland8867 You can't beat the physics. Increasing power requires increasing ampacity or voltage.
Getting that 2000w with just 18v means you require around 100 amps which simply can't be delivered effectively. This is why 8 or 12ah batteries offer better performance. Even then, windings that can consistently handle 100 amps must be quite large and heavy.
This is why Makita introduced 36v (40v max) and DeWalt introduced flex 18/56v (20/60v max).
A 36v system can deliver the same wattage without stressing the cells as much and at just 50 amps allowing more compact motors.
Double up your batteries for 72v and you can deliver that power in just 25 amps which means you can make stronger motors for things like cordless table saws or routers.
@@mrbigberd Right! True what you say and their 18V batteries Profactor Batteries outperforms the 36V. Much respect
Good to see Bosch making things happen again.
This has been out on the market for a while, but for some reason, some of the American channels got it very late.
@@FlorinArjocu yeah I've been looking at it. Lowe's always has Battery deals with it.
They've really been expanding their tool line recently. Glad to see it.
Yeah, they have generally been pretty innovative/thinking outside the box and I like that.
I can't believe how expensive the Makita tools are. The Makita XGT drill with 2 (2.5AH) 40V batteries and charger is $599 new. Who can afford 1 drill kit for $600? Employers actually buy these tools for their employees? I can't imagine asking the owner to buy me a $599 basic cordless drill. If Makita could get their 40V cost down, it would be worth buying. I'm considering getting a Bosch drill, especially after this video.
That SnapOn looks like it´s made 30 years ago in Tibet...
$972... The Apple-priced drill from Snap-On. Just plain nuts. 😵
The brand with an apple like following.
@@user-lp7dd7dz9m In other words, lemmings.
Oh, and the warranty sucks
That Bosch looks like the ultimate metal drill! I know about half a dozen people who have broken the small bones in their hands because they were drilling steel and the drill smashed their hands into something. It's no joke and imo every drill should have that feature, like how almost every grinder has a kickback brake.
Most grinders including several in Milwaukee's FUEL line don't have kickback control.
A guy at my last job had to be put on light duty for a week because his SO drill caught while drilling through the thick aluminum of a tarp box, twisted his wrist and elbow, and tossed the box off of the table it was on. It pissed him off and made our tool guy take it back. 🤣
The 18v Metabo HPT 4 1/2 grinder does have kickback control
i think there is some model also have there kickback control not only bosch
And Yup , having it is a good idea for protect ourself from being twisted hand
Any DeWalt with the Perform and Protect logo has a kick back brake.
That Bosch is the one to get. Surprisingly affordable, as well.
Worst injury of my life was from a drill’s kickback. Was holding it kittywumpus because I’m left handed, it kicked at thigh level and spun round and slapped my jewels. Swelled up to twice their normal size, spent an hour vomiting and 3 hours in ER. I couldn’t walk for days.
I’m going to buy that Bosch, thanks for the bad memories but positive solutions ttc
Become a tradesman they said, it will be fun they said.
Bosch makes (at least for the Euro Market - Here they're called ProCore - or Amp-Share) a 5.5A Battery (Only for shipping reason, as it sits right at 99Wh) - it has the same Cells as the 8Ah - but with lower capacity. They also perform almost identical to the 8Ah - and has the same weight.
Also - Bosch puts a Coating on their Motor-winding that will burn off the first few times when under high load - nothing to worry here ;)
Thanks for the Video - as always
So basically, Bosch needs to make a Profactor Freak.
That's what I've been saying. I've been hoping for new improved impact driver that can match well with the drill.
Yes, i agree.
I'd love to see cordless circular saws tested for power output.
Same I really want to know the power of the 6.5in vs 7.25 in class
It requires a different dyno motor, I only know that because it's currently a project
@@TorqueTestChannelCome on, maybe a drive shaft guided by pillow bearings into the same test jig?
@@domfijac It doesn't end up being an issue, just some lathe machined parts and a different battlebots motor. Circ saws makes power through a different RPM range, so you need a motor tailored to match that.
That bosch is amazing. I want. Not just for the torque but the cool and useful angle finder. That would be so very helpful.
Yeah, i've been using it for a couple of months and it's amazing. The angle controll is really useful.
@@essentials1016 It is very useful.
great testing as usual, thanks! just a note, bosch does make a 6ah pack with 21700 cells, they just call it 5.5ah for legal reasons (99wh pack limit). They also have a regular 5ah pack with 18650's, idk if it is available in the US though :)
We never get anything cool :(
@@TorqueTestChannel :( I would like to help you but unfortunately can't ship batteries at all :|
True, although they somehow seem to limit voltage to keep the total capacity below 100Wh. This means the extra power of the 3Ah cells is lost (it performs practically identical to the 8Ah pack with 4Ah cells), although lower maximum voltage means lower wear (and therefore probably better longevity) and probably better temps. They are also roughly 30% more affordable than the 8Ah packs.
@@macvos I am not sure if they limit the upper voltage level, or if they limit the discharge level. They also rate it higher than their 8ah model (1800 vs 2000w, although it is probably a bigger difference in real life). Even if they do limit the charge voltage, 3ah cells still have much lower IR and can provide more current so can give more power even at lower voltage level. And you don't have to limit the charge voltage that much to lose 0.25ah per cell :)
@@riba2233 interesting. Here in Europe they rate the 5.5 Ah and 8 Ah the same, although initially they did rate the 5.5 slightly higher. I've seen someone measure the 4, 5.5, 8 and 12 Ah batteries on the German Bosch user forum. The 5.5 and 12 Ah did have comparable (lower) internal resistance compared to the others, indicating higher power compared to the 8 Ah pack. If I'm not mistaken however, he found out they limited upper voltage.
This is the GSB model with hammer drill mode and there is the GSR version that is just the dril, not a kombi. Also, Bosch has 5.5 amp/h batteries as well.
That Snap On looks like it was made in the same factory as Warrior from Harbor Freight
The fact it has no frills or thrills and still costs almost 1k...that's should tell you how regulation kills industry.
There's a sucker born every minute. Someone will buy the Snap On.
the Snap On reminds me of a Mexican company who sells Masterforce (Menards) power tools, they just re-paint them red slap a new logo and charge 2x to 3x what Menards sells these tools for.
And they still justify their outrageous prices calling their repainted Menard's stuff super heavy duty like if they could compete with Milwaukee, DeWalt or Bosch.
But since most people from Mexico have never been into a Menard's they have no clue they are buying prosumer grade power tools at premium tool prices.
@@engineer_alv i mean in terms of quality my snappy wrenches cannot be beat and if they are theyll replace em...but i would NEVER buy their power stuff
@@ywe3 agreed. They're tried and true as long as manual tools are concerned
One thing that really irks me about these battery powered tool companies is, they all seem to intentionally make one or two killer products that outclass the other bands, and then they half ass the rest of their product lines. This is a problem because we all like to stick to one or two battery platform so we don't have a dozen different chargers with a dozen different battery's that each only work on one or two devices in our inventories!
The ole bait and switch routine.
Hey man maybe they are all just doin' their darndest okay? :P
As someone who is married to Dewalt, it appears just imo Milwaukee would have to be the most consistent brand in terms of qaulity and durability. I think Dewalt is awesome too but it's all over the shop and a mixed bag😂😂 I bought into dewalt recently for nostalgia sake and also because everyone at work has Milwaukee... including everyone elses brothers sisters nephews cousins dogs uncle.
Not makita. They pour r&d into their tools and then everybody else comes and copies them. Just like Bosch, I’d say everybody tries to copy Bosch the most. I think they invented sds, and starlock, and x lock, and those installation drivers im pretty sure, and just lots more crap.
they probably aren't half assing it, it's more just that they aren't making it their primary R&D effort perhaps. These things surely aren't cheap to design
We use that Bosh on more things than we should, mainly cause it is silent in a workshop environment. Bosh may be kinda meg where impacts goes, but man. Their drills and Miter saws are second to none. Check out their huge miter that you can shove against the wall. Crazy practical
I have that saw. It is a peach of a Miter Saw, quality
Snap On 2 yr warranty on a $1000 drill😢 vs Bosch 6 years on a $200 drill😅. I think warranty terms should be an included metric in TTCs rankings.
Agreed. But yhat's only part of the equation though. The biggest part of a warranty is how likely you are to get approved for repair or replacement. Combine that with customer service, how long they take for repair or replacement, ease of submitting the claim or dealing with a local shop, how close those shops are and how many authorized repair centers there are etc.
I can submit a claim to Milwaukee and send it off and they'll even fix stuff that wasn't even broken.
With Ridgid I need to register the tools within 90 days to get their lifetime service agreement and who knows what they will approve.
It would be hard to really compare without testing the claim process but I agree it is an important part to consider. A 90 day warranty from harbor getting is pretty bad.
@@mediocreman2 If you have the 36 month BOSCH Full Service, your device is normal in 3-5 Days repaired or you get a new device. And if you need a replacement device in the mean time - you will get one for free - at least here in europe (Germany, Switzerland, Austria)
Bosch warranty in Australia is 6 years on the tools and batteries which is unusual to say the least. Our consumer protection legislation is also quite strong so not much wiggle room for manufacturers to deny claims.
I use this Bosch profactor drill on the daily at work and my Milwaukee-die-hard electrician coworkers have ALL been super impressed by it. Thing kicks ass, but is suuuuper heavy whivh over a full day’s use can cause some serious fatigue.
In the nicad days, 18v and 450 inch pounds was top-end. Today, I can get 300 inch pounds from my 12v drill. I use that for 90% of jobs. When I need more power for a few holes, a little extra weight isn't that bad.
The real tragedy is Bosch abandoning their 36v lineup. Higher voltage allows smaller wires for the same output reducing overall weight.
get a BiTurbo bosch angle grinder.(15amp) :D i have it with x-lock system and it's nuts :D
I don't think the rating with 4 Ah batteries should matter. We all know that 1 row 21700 or 2 row 18600 is safe to use up to aprox. 700 Watts. That is why Bosch is shutting down the tool to save your batteries form earlier failure. Milwaukee, for example, does not have this type of control (at least in 12V tools) and sometimes batteries are hot to touch.
Agreed
Well that confirms what i have seen! I've had the Bosch drill for about 6 months, its insane with a 6 or 8 amp battery!
Why people still purchase Snap-On cordless tools, is beyond me. Those loyalists are explained by having more money than sense.
Congrats on 300k, well deserved
Hey thanks!
@@TorqueTestChannel what I though you hit 1M already haha, how is this possible :)
@@riba2233Lots and lots and lots of fanboys with their fingers in their ears and hands over their eyes, who don't want to know their tool box isn't the be-all end-all they've hyped it to be... 🙉🙈
That's my guess lol
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE We def lose quite a few subs on day 1 of some vids, but overall we are well above far beyond anywhere we thought the channel would go. So I'm more than pleased with 300K, it's immense
@@TorqueTestChannel That's hilarious, in a sad way 🥴 I can appreciate not wanting to become a sub, but to know what a channel is about and THEN decide "they betrayed me by... by... *_telling it like it is!!_* 😭😭"... makes ya hope those people don't have to make any life or death decisions ever! 😒
Anyways, we're all super please with what you're doing! Been with ya since you were at 90k, working at breaking 100k! ❤️
_(don't know how many came over from my post in AvE's comments [the original gas-powered impact], but I know many of them are here _*_now!_*_ 🤘🤘)_
Bosch has been expanding their North American tool lineup with their more powerful pro factor line up as well as drywall tools, hand tools and even outdoor power tools.
It'd be wicked to see some of those stud and joist drills compete as well as the cordless mixers like the DeWalt DCD130! I use that bad boy with an 8 in earth auger in the summertime to help the missus with her garden :)
Very cool story. Just what I needed. Another tool that is super useful. 😛
It would be cool to see a battery adapter to run more amp hours on the SNAPON! Even if they won't make one :(
Thank for testing the Profactor! Been using it a couple months and absolutely love it! That being said, you might have a same experience with the Bosch 12v die grinder, i feel its more powerful than my Hazet air one. Use the Bosch with 6 Ah batterys it eats the single row for breakfast. 😅
YESSSSSSS, Thanks for testing drills!!!!! I use these alot for power tapping at work
Your experimental rigour and thoughtful analyses make this channel an incredible reference, but it's your one liners that keep me watching. Thanks for your amazing work!
Itd be cool to see different installation drivers compared. I know Bosh, Milwaukee, and DeWalt have models.
Bosh has two versions i believe
I love your videos! Thank you for keeping up with them!
These snap on fan boys will never admit they’re being conned.
I am not a Snap-On fanboy but the argument they have assuming they are in a shop where the tool truck stops by all the time is that they can hammer their tool and if anything goes wrong they have a new one that day or the next no questions asked.
If you are on job sites and have to find a truck and don't know him personally you might as well get something for 1/3 the cost.
@@NONO-hz4vo I’m from the UK and have friends who say some parts take weeks, up to 3 months for the snap on dealer to get for them.
Also, not sure how it is in the US, but I’m 99% certain that power tools don’t have a lifetime warranty?
Are you kidding? That's the only thing they talk about
@@i_know_youre_right_but no lifetime warranty but a lifetime flat-rate repair. 120$ and the total tool is redone or replaced, not bad for power tools.
@@SinisterShivers
Also, you can factor in buying a snap on tool at reduce costs on the secondary market (EBay)
I just bought the Snap on bare tool for $225.00 shipped knowing that for the lifetime I own this tool for just about $120.00 as you mentioned, this tool will be refurbished to new standards no questions asked.
Bottom line if you shop and buy wisely sometimes paying for a little bit more for a premium tool is worth it if you factor in the service of the tool.
My .02
Ngl, I love how far this channel has come! Remember watching from the beginning and happy to see it's gotten so big and always improving testing. Great Job!
I am a plumber and switched from a milwaukee gen3 to a Bosch Profactor. I use to to drill holes for pipe, drilling concrete for toilet flanges and it will do everything you ask it to do, its an absolute beast. It is a heavy drill and Ive leaned into it by just running a 12 amp battery with it everywhere. It is my favorite tool in my kit and it is the best bang for your buck you will find on the market.
Over 40 nm without kickback control is a bloody wristbreaker.
Nice….. I’m a massive Bosch fanboy 😁👍🏼
TTC, given the effort and expense you’ve put into these testing rigs, I think it’s high time to get a proper lathe-turned shaft to hook your drills up with. Eliminating all that added motion will do three things: 1. Transfer power more efficiently, 2. Look far more professional, 3. Any motion left in the system will be a result of runout in the tool/chuck.
Awesome testing as usual!!!
I noticed no one in the comments seemed concerned about the Bosch drill smoking when being pushed hard. The ShopToolReviews channel did a review on the Bosch drill about a month ago and it smoked when being ran to it's limits. I wouldn't want a drill that smokes haha. I know the ranking charts are just a guide and some brands are playing dirty to win so personally I think the XGT Makita really wins. It's so powerful but stops before damaging itself. A well designed tool for sure
I did notice. But honestly both ShopToolREviews and TTC's drills were working alright and did not smoke afterwads even with more demanding tasks.
Any other video I've seen of this drill hasn't brought any smoke at all. It doesn't speak wonders about that particular unit purchased/received but it could be something as trivial as some excess of grease they put in the factory.
I would, though watch out closely within the next few weeks just to make sure it doesn't do that again and if it did would just have it replaced per warranty.
I watch this channel as much as anything to admire the engineering and imagination you guys put into designing and building the testing apparatus. Hat tip! In terms of tool performance, it seems to me the main takeway is that you get an impressive amount of tool in your hand with these modern battery drills.
Snap on doesn’t make the best anything anymore
Another great test, thanks for sharing.👍
Those are pretty crazy results. Great video.
Bosch has in their lineup 5.5Ah procore battery
Not here in the states though i think?
@@TorqueTestChannel
That I don't know. In Europe yes.
Hilti nuron please
If your in the Bosch line the occasional free one or two batteries with purchase promotion is a pretty sweet deal.
Your vids are awesome! Keep it up!
love to see the dark blue tools getting a W in the big boy categories, I really like their 12v line of products for household/light duty tasks
congrats on 300k subscribers!!!! Question, how does the Snap-on warranty compare? Will they replace it if you burn it out? Should this be a category?
This was a great episode.
Great test
Awesome testing guys! Kobalt XTR is the one I am curious about.
Id be very interested to see these battery adapters (Dewalt battery on Milwaukee tool etc..) tested. I've heard that some brands electronically limit the tools, and that using the adapters circumvents it?? Just curious. Thanks ttc
every time i try an adapter say 20v dewalt to old 18 v it fails. usually on a grinder. the internal solder joints melt. if using an official dewalt adapter it just stops working permanently as well.
@@ronblack7870which brands of adapters have you tried?
Great video. Nice tests.
Thanks for testing Bosch.
Hi from Serbia.
Love my dewalt hammer Drills and my xgt makita been using them way more then my Milwaukee these days
@8:15 in the construction world sometimes we have no choice and it isn’t always practical to have a right angle drill with you everyday
For mechanics I believe the drill driver is more useful then hammer drills. For 1 they’re normally shorter. 2 there’s no concrete on cars. I would love to see the Dewalt dcd 800(i could send it to you) tested against maybe flex and makita’s compact models.
Love your videos. Your awesome. Thank you!
Your videos are awesome. I need to look back. I've been watching for a while, but wonder if you have ever done a video on the affect of using battery adapters. I see them so much, and actually have a couple because I'm in the Ridgid line of tools, I have one to be able to run my Ryobi sprayer and pole saw, and one to run my milwaukee m18 tools as well and not have to have the tool brand battery, be able to use the Ridgid batteries I already have.. Just wonder real world testing how bad it hurts the tools performance.
That accelerometer powered anti-kickback feature is worth the price of the drill. I have a version of this drill that's several years old, and that one feature has saved me a lot of pain. Another thing about Bosch cordless tools that doesn't seem to ever get mentioned is their batteries seem to last forever in terms of cycles and surviving jobsite abuse. The Bosch 18 volt line really is industrial grade stuff. It's my main cordless line, and I've had excellent results with it.
Love the channel! You guys are having way too much fun.
Snap-on is a complete rip off. Snap-on you should be ashamed of yourself for charging $1,000 for a drill and set. This is why I watch your videos.
Would be great to see the new German Metabo drills tested as well. Would be interesting to see if you get similar results to the angle grinders. ie, exceptional performance.
I have been using the hammer drill version of that Bosch drill for a few months now. Drilling holes in concrete, mixing masonry, mixing drywall, running the tongue jack of my job trailer etc. only one minor complaint so far: the gear selector is sometimes hard to switch between high and low gear. Other then that it is as advertised. I do have several other drills for lighter duty jobs, so the size
and weight are not a factor at all to me.
I'd like to see tests on makita LXT drills, especially the subcompact XFD11. I've seen huge differences in performance between 2 and 6 Amp hour batteries and you can hear it in the tool as wel
Love you man
Another awesome video!!!!!!
I love eating my daily food at work and watching these
Still, not worth passing on the Makita. Makita just lasts longer.
Seriously? On there corded concrete tools line sds plus and max rotary hammers or breakers one bosch outlast 2 to 3 makitas.
Bosch may need regular Service while Makitas fall apart. Last but not least Makitas are User unfriendly. Like blowing hot air in your eyes.
The only + for Makita compared to Bosch is there enormus Portfolio
So 2 things, I would love to see a video on right angle (hole hawg) drills including both the super hawg and regular hawg from milwaukee and flex. Second, this drill is awesome, I only have milwaukee drills, but I'll definitely buy an adapter and put some high output batteries on it!
40V Makita is on another level tho.
Great stuff
Pro status for sure.
7:35 you can get more performance from that Bosch drill if you use 5.5Ah or 8Ah (double layer) batteries. The drill is marketed "Biturbo" motor and Bosch say that it can consume more amperage than their basic 4Ah ProCore battery can provide (Thus enhancing performance when connected to a bigger battery).
The 5.5Ah battery is the same size and weights the same as 8Ah battery, so there is almost no sense in getting the 5.5Ah battery (maybe except for the shorter charging time)
1330n is on my to get list . i already have their profactor impact , 7 1/4 18v saw , 7/8 18v sds and standard impact . and i have 2 8amp batteries with 1 4amp and 2 2amp so i'm good . i'm just a DIYer now with a small side job here and there but i used top build for a living and my dewalt 20v stuff has consistently failed me so no more yellow for me . thanks for all the effort you put into these videos and thanks for sharing your results , jeff
DeWalt really needs a new top of the line hammer drill. Their current two models are outdated bringing good power but are way too big and heavy. They have the tech and showed it with their recent compact drills being some of the best in that category. I don't even want much more power they really just need to shorten their new drill a bit, make it lighter and add anti kick back and some other features would be a bonus.
Nice! I do wish sometimes to see a Festool included😞 Love the video's!
Mmmm TTC content after lots O beer, please and thank you. And as a 30 year auto tech,.I stopped buying S/O impacts since 2015. No bias, I'm an idiot.
Those are some massive looking 5ah batteries
Would be great to see a Fein tested, more specifically the ASCM 18, lots of RPM (400 - 3850), descent amount of torque 45Nm soft /90Nm hard, 4 gears, and a removable chuck to make it really short.
I have one and it's great, but would be nice to see it tested against others.
Just don't test the electric clutch, it horrible ;)
They're probably very refined (or should I say reFeined? Shoot me, I'm a dad, so I'm now allowed to make bad puns), but purely based on rough power I expect them to perform well but not groundbreaking.
@@macvos Yeah, I'm not expecting them to be the best torque wise, but they have a lot of interesting features that some people (myself included) might like and therefor choose that over another stronger drill.
The quality on the proper German made Fein's are also some of the best out there.
I have this bosch drill, and it's a great tool. In Europe is marketed with biturbo brushless motor. But the pro core 4Ah battery is not enough for this tool. The angle detection system is a great feature. The kick back control can be disabled from the interface.
Would like to see more Kobalt stuff, there XTR batts have 21700 cells, for "cheap"
Ahhh ha ha... was mixing mud with my Bosch cordless last winter-, forgot my mud mixer!
Hello again, Torque Test Channel
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Question for you, Have tested cordless screwdrivers I'm looking for one to remove/installed screws. And have the ability to prevent over torque? As a Aircraft Mechanic. I maybe working on a wing. That would have a lot of screws. Again thank you 😊
2008 called, it wants its drill design back.
It honestly looks like shit you see in the back of Goodwill from 20 years ago
The future just called. Wanted its power specs back.
Would love to see some compact and 12v drills also
i don’t know if compact drills exist
I love this channel❤ where do I go to look at the shirts? Is that on Etsy?
It would be nice to see the performance of the Bosch with the 12Ah battery!
Also, would love to see the Fein ASCM 18 QM and the Mafell A18 thrown in!
Would definitely be interested in seeing some german metabo kit on the dyno, I would lend you my BS 18 LTX-3 BL Q, and I could lend you my Mafell A12 too (all mafell's drills are rebranded metabo) but the return shipping from the UK may be cost prohibitive.
Bosch at it again.
Not the best but right up there.
We don't feel the Flex is better. It just knows to to score points lol
Great Job...
I'd like to see the tests with the new DeWalt dcd800 or dcd805 so maybe a compact drill comparison.
Thank you for pushing me over the edge to move to Bosch from Ryobi as my upgrade brand.
5:26 Damn thats awesome. Ive always thought a round/bullseye level would be great in the back of a drill so you can get straight vertical when drilling holes. A digital sensor light makes sense and could be expanded to confirm X and Y axis square. May need offset for the chuck angle but id love that feature.
Craftsman drills had a surface level on them 20yrs ago
@@shadygunshow Nobody does it anymore though. Wonder why? Seems like a good idea to me
@@A6Legit I dunno, I didn’t really use it except for my first couple of months. I actually drill at angles more than anything and just follow my bit by eye. Actually I do almost everything either by eye or with my laser level. No bubbles for me
@@shadygunshow I drill by eye because it's my only option lol, it's usually good enough. Theres been times where I'm off a few degrees and it turned out to be an inconvenience. Particularly when installing hardware.
I'm sure it's already been accounted for. You use the battery/base to set the reference angle (doesn't have to be flat), and it shows the set angle relative to reference. It's not drill press precise though, the light shows green within a few degrees of set angle.
That Snap on drill looks like a black and decker homeowner special from 2007😂
Id love to see routers tested. Great video.
id be curious to see inside the drills how well they are made. I found that all my milwaukee tools that failed was due to a failure in the bearing. they are small!! I have 2 broken hackzalls, one m18 fuel and one m12 fuel, same bearing failure. I have a fuel grinder with a seized bearing. And you cant just replace the bearing, they are part of the motor. So yes maybe other brands are smaller, but at the cost of long term reliability ?
I have the older model snap on hammer drill, when I bought 6-8 years ago, it was $890 with two batteries 18V and charger. Never gave me a problem, still wrenching automotive repair over 20 years. Never once got it sent in for repair/rebuild. I did have a buddy of mines had me send in his same drill as mines but high vis green color to get rebuild, it cost $160. Snap on rebuilt it all brand new. If my red snap on one every gets broken and needs rebuilding, it's not a bad price. Also in my early years as a Professional Mechanic, I've purchase the 14.4volts snap on drill as well, let's just say over the course of 20 years working on vehicles, there's well over $100,000 dollars in snap on tools..
More if not most drills need a side handle.
Have you tested any of those drills with their largest batteries available since several seem to really favor larger batteries (flexvolt 15 amp hour, m18 12.0 etc)?
I’m not sure if you have already, but you should do cheap and affordable drills like black and decker, hart etc
By far, best comment is “because you guys are sick and want to use 8in hole saws” 😂😂
Snap On charging that DoD contractor pricing. 🤡
