Are more expensive drills really worth it?

Video Description

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 https://amzn.to/3MeF6fm · Ryobi PCL206 https://amzn.to/4350c5Q · Ridgid R8701 https://amzn.to/3ZObXup · Dewalt Max XR DCD800 https://amzn.to/3ZJ3Orn · Milwaukee M18 2801 https://amzn.to/3GjTWxv · Festool T18+3 https://amzn.to/40Jqwkj ►ALL MY TOOLS & GEAR https://www.diymontreal.com/my-tools-and-gear/ ►PLANS & ONLINE STORE https://www.diymontreal.com/shop/ ►Sign up for my NEWSLETTER: project updates, plans, woodworking book of the month and more! http://eepurl.com/gVbt21 ►SUPPORT ME ON PATREON http://bit.ly/3cVCFLj Stickers, discount on plans & more ►Follow me on SOCIAL MEDIA · Instagram https://www.instagram.com/diymontreal · TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@diymontreal · Pinterest https://www.pinterest.ca/diymontreal · Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DIYMTL · YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/diymontreal?sub_confirmation=1 ►CHAPTERS 0:00 Are more expensive drills really worth it? 0:38 How I chose which drills to test 2:57 Drill models and price points 5:01 How I’ll test the drills 6:29 Tool specs comparison 9:04 Test #1 - Speed drilling 13:36 Test #2 - Driving screws until the battery runs out 19:11 Test #3 - Timed lag screw test 22:26 And the winner is… ►Written article https://www.diymontreal.com/are-more-expensive-drills-really-better/ ►MUSIC Sound Effects from https://pixabay.com/sound-effects/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=95219
