That HOTO looks like what an orthopedic surgeon would use to put a stainless deck screw in my knee for a knee replacement . Nice job on this channel, great content.
Just doing some basic research apparently that DCK brand (Jiangsu Dongcheng Power Tools) is a large company in China which makes both its own designs and is an OEM for others. They have a pretty extensive line of tools. It makes sense that there are Chinese brands that make good high quality drills for markets that are not interested in spending more than half of a monthly income on a drill when they can buy one that’s almost as good for 25% of the price.
@@cerberus1166why not? If it holds together under full power like that, normal everyday tasks will be no problem for it. Parts made to handle that much power will barely be stressed doing stuff like drilling holes in wood and driving drywall screws. No, it won't hold up like a Milwaukee or Makita, designed to run full bore all day long, but it's not meant to. As someone else mentioned, that company OEMs for some big names, and is a top name on their own on their domestic market. My guess is that they're trying to break into the western market, and doing so by playing the good performance for a low price game. They have to have their quality up to par if they're going to pull that off as well. Sure, you can get all kinds of cheap, horrible garbage from China. But you can also get good stuff there as well. Dismissing them out of hand isn't a good idea. Especially for the companies that will be competing with whomever manages to find success in the West.

Hey I could use a "Little Richard"(DCK) around the house! I can't believe what the other high priced one's are going to do compared to a $70 Johnson or the Worksite(Worky Worky)... Keep up your great work & vids!
The D.C.K. truly is an impressive implement to behold; the smooth yet firm girth, torque that thrusts past the competition, and a pleasantly healthy, vibrant red top, a tool you need to take with two hands to fully appreciate as it drives eagerly into whatever is set before it
Yep, they used to make great tools for real. I still have a corded B&D drill inherited from my gramps, it's well over half a century old now (made in the 70's, I think), all metal construction and was so used that almost all of its paint has worn off. It still works well today, and I remember my gramps saying it was one of his few tools that has never broken down or needed repairs.
I got a few of the newer B&D drills with the Matrix 20V and I don't know what the heck that drill or battery is but I can assured you they are far stronger than that little POS they got. I have never seen the Power Connect thing yet so its only this new/new stuff that is worthless. Or just the battery, its a old design that Porter Cable is now using so they might be trying something to kill off the old 20V B&D line. Maybe just that battery itself is useless and need a different one. Never a good sign when a actually new battery is DOA.
@@silentferret1049 Yeah the BD drill they got looks like the 12v cheapo model but taking a 20v battery. A lot of the B&D stuff is actually still very good for most home owners. That thing in this video does not represent their line up XD and this is coming from someone that has many brands (B&D, porter cable, craftsman, ryobi, bosch and sometimes use dewalt and milwaukee) Edit, also the batteries for porter cable and BD are the same but the mold is slightly different but the tool or the batteries shell can be modded to allow the battery and that charger and battery has been around since BD was making craftsman power tools for sears (before they bought craftsman)
Thank you for all the testing. I now base my tool purchases between your channel and Project Farm's channel. I am often very surprised at the results of the testing. Please keep up the good work.
That DCK showing off its BDE. Jokes aside, the DCK had some impressive numbers and with all the bits it includes it is a nice kit to have at home if you aren't already entrenched in another brands platform.
Browsing the DCK store they make a whole range of tools, almost as many as Hercules. Not that I care how many beans they make but I do wonder WHO makes them. someone should enjoy doing some more digging on the DCK!
I've viewed ads on here showing their mfr process and factory. They seemed like legit tools. I figured they might do good here. Seem to be aimed at the Asian market
Somebody else was saying that it looks like they are an OEM. So they might very well not be slapping their name on somebody else's tools, in fact quite the opposite. Definitely going to need to think about branding though if they want to break into the US market. Or not - definitely going to get some attention the way it is.
@@ccoder4953 Oh wow I took a dive and the parent company makes a lineup of tools as large as makita, including corded and air tools, 4/8/12/20V and saw blades etc. DC stands for dongcheng. looks very established. Impressive!
@@ccoder4953yeah... The name actually might help. I mean, the vast majority of the comments here are referencing it. It's going to stick in people's minds. Of course, the fact that it absolutely screwed everything else in the test helps. Big DCK energy for sure.
@@puckcat22679yeah yeah yeah, I would totally love to have a whole bunch of big red DCKs in my toolbox. Even though I do have some pretty decent Bosch and Festool stuff, with a sprinkling of Ryobi, this DCK is pretty enticing for some reason, and the brand is tailor-made for viral marketing
I would really like a measurement of "battery replaceability" in that ranking. How expensive is a replacement battery and how long will one presumably be available (for the latter one looking how long has that style of battery been offered by that company) I think for most home users the battery is the first/only thing that will fail on their drills.
If you want to get her something similar for less money. There's multiple electric screwdrivers that look similar. Walmart has a 4v Hyper Tough and the Workpro look the same. All probably made by Xiaomi too.
That DCK came out swinging hard. Definitely the kind of tool to put a smile on the missus face when you bust it out to show that she doesn't need to call a professional for that weekend project around the house or in the backyard.
This is hilarious. The Worksite drill is sold in my country under 4 different brand names (that I know of), some calling it 18v, some 20v. Makes you wonder how under how many different names is this being sold.
I would have thought that the possibly unintentional typo @4:54 "All testes are medians of 5 runs" would have been better suited to appear during DCK's run, but who am I to judge?
The 12v Bosch taht came up in the results on your searches is a mini beast. I use it professionally as an electrician. Only time I go for my bigger 18V machine is when I use holesaws in other stuff but plaster walls...
With all these cheap units. For some reason I’d love to see how bottom brands you can get in a store like warrior and hyper tough stack up compared to the amazon specials
@@TorqueTestChannel But hyper tough's line up is actually really extensive. and I have their batteries (for some gardening tools). If they are anywhere close to HART, then i'd much prefer hypertough
Well I have 18 volt warrior I love. I've had it about 2 years, use mostly for pilot holes. Although I have used it for hole saws. Battery life is good, don't recommend for pro use. Not my primary drill either.
@@johnmckee7937 I have dewalt XRs and flexvolt and Milwaukee M12. But the drill I have with me 100% of the time is the black & decker matrix. Because I can bring a sawzall/impact/drill etc in such a small package its what I leave in the car. So I end up using it most......
If you just need a cheap drill, gardenjoy for 30 USD seems perfectly functional. Batteries would probs die in half a year though. I wonder if they'll ever release a hammer DCK. I bet it would do some good hammering.
If they did it would probably be longer and girthier than the one in the video. I'd have to get my hands on one so that I would win in a DCK measuring contest
I knew this was gonna be fun when you bought the big DCK, and opined that the package would provide a bigger load..... Heh heh heh heh!!! Nice job. I would love to know how the process played out, where one day, a giant red DCK shows up on Amazon's website..... Ohhhh, to have a hidden camera in a conference room somewhere, with full audio.... Please? Ohhh please.... I need to see these geniuses at work.... This is like a billion dollar sitcom idea..... TTC, take it & run. "How did the Product end up on the Webpage", an inside wacky look at being a lower level brand manager at a big company..... Ohh the wild & wacky shenanigans are nonstop!!! Heh heh heh!
Good video. Not that I'm interested in shitty drills but I'm curious how the Ikea "FIXA" drill would stack up to these. Presumably they sell a fair amount of them or they would have discontinued it by now. It's under $40 and 7.2V
I have one and it's actually OK for drilling in the paper composite ikea offers and it drives all screws they have to offer The battery generally last 1-2 pieces of furniture depending on size
@@angrydragonslayer ah, it makes sense that it's designed just to help assemble their furniture and hang their shelves. The name "FIXA" made me think they intended people to be able to use it for some more advanced tasks but with 7.2V and that price tag i wouldn't expect much out of it
Lol, i was doing good until the "Richard" Every single time i hear that reference i am reminded of the time a bunch of us was setting at the Nashville Airport and I had "Richard Cranium" paged to the guest phone over the airport intercom. Seeing 7 of your work buddies bust out laughing, good times. Yes, it was and is childish but you know what they say "i dont want to grow up, im a Toys-R-Us kid"
It would be great to hook up a power supply or a oversized battery with some wires/spades. Standardise the power delivery and just test the tool. I think a fair few of these tools were hampered by the battery which can be relatively cheaply upgraded.
I got the Hoto in a kit when I was on the Zon Vine program,gave it to my Step-Daughter for her house not to bad for small stuff.Greenworks test Greenworks Greenworks Greenworks.Ty for your time doing this
I heard of DCK a while ago from "da tool bear" and thought it was a joke. Turns out DCK makes industrial tools for the Asian market. I believe they are based out of Hong Kong as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that. If the drill is an indicator of power the tools have, I would love to see what their other tools can do when tested. Great job guys!!
I had the impacting DCK. It was not a bad impact for the price. I literally bought it so I could go to my co-workers and say "hey hold my DCK for me." We had some laughs. Then I sent it back because that was too much to spend to keep a joke that would have only been funny for a little bit.
I enjoy your channel. I will avoid commenting on the sense of humor aspect, instead focusing on what a great service you provide for your target audience. At the price point the "d" branded tool is, it proves that the gap between performance and price doesnt necessarily apply anymore and that established brands need to pay more attention to their price .
But performance is not the only important metric. Maybe the brand tools are more expensive because they are better build? Meaning better longevity and maybe surviving a few falls.
@Jehty21 you are of course, correct in that no one would suggest that the "d" branded tool is as well made as a Milwaukee tool. Having said that, for a occasional DIY person, this move could be a cost saving play, yet, with great performance. Note that the Black and Decker tool, though somewhst less expensive, was way down the list in terms of performance. I bought the seesii impact that was tested for just over 100 usd including tax for my pickup tool box and I've used it several times without any concerns. With two batteries and excellent performance, if it gets stolen, I won't be out very much capital. I can't say that if my mid & high torque Milwaukee impacts were stolen. And my previous pickup with bolted down tool box and dual ABUS high security padlocks was stolen along with the truck and the truck was found 3 days later, stripped.
I’ve got a Hoto, it came with a fairly nice micro screwdriver kit for $45 if I recall correctly. I’ve got m12 fuel stuff, but wanted a tool to keep around the house for drilling holes in wood or drywall. At $45 it was a no brainer for the combo, for $80 for the drill alone I’d have passed on it.
i have the same black & decker, mainly used only to drill as i had an impact driver from them already (well multi head tool could swap from impact to drill to sawzall to tire inflator to mini circular saw.) and it was decent for just doing light drilling, i did end up sorta breaking the screw holding the chuck in after using the drill to start a snow blower with a broken pull string and starter motor by spinning the crank directly (fixing was near impossible as the entire snow blower had to be disassembled to even get at the broken parts), which worked very well several times till kickback spun the drill hard and snapped the chuck screw causing the chuck to come off, but it still works, just if i use it with too much torque in one direction the chuck likes to unscrew itself.
I thought the force of the Hart was 14 and all of a sudden when a completely different drill was tested @6:10 it went to 18 🤔🙄 Am I missing something???
Fun review! Cind of unfair for the HOTO as its a 12v system. I have a small hoto pen looking driver i keep in the house for easy jobs and it works great. Charges via USB-C.
Great video! It's a shame they don't sell some of the top rated here in Amazon UK. Would be great to see how they compare to the more expensive BOSCH, Makita etc brands..
The Worksight drill looks just like a Porter Cable dill that I own. About the only difference I see is the trigger and speed controls which on the PC are red not yellow.
I'm pretty sure that one and the one that was very similar here are probably made by whatever OEM supplier makes pretty much everyone's mid-grade brushless drills. In that category, you don't need cutting edge, proprietary design that costs a fortune to engineer. You just need cheap and competent. And it doesn't get any cheaper than using whatever factory builds millions of them with the only difference being a custom case and battery terminals to match whatever battery it needs to match. Then you just focus your own R&D on your flagship stuff, and pay for it with the sales of the cheapie.
Props for the most male anatomy jokes in a sub-15 minute video that I've ever seen. It does cause me to reflect on what kind of person I am to understand so many of them. 😅 Somewhat more seriously, this was a far better turnout than I would have expected given your other Amazon videos. Even the Apple wannabe completed the testing, which was more than I would have bet at the video start. 👍
I have one of the brushed Avid drills, its so useful as its just so darn light! I keep reaching for it for lighter duty drilling and removing screws, as it feels half the weight of my Ridgid. Enjoy the amazon reviews, not just a joke anymore!
I have a few drills myself, a bigger Bosch with swappable heads, a smaller 18v Bosch that came in a pretty cheap and decent tool set (drill, impact driver, oscillating tool, recip saw, and a flashlight), and a festool txs. Most often I use the big Bosch for serious work, and small Bosch and festool for light stuff as they are quite small and handy. Having several drills and an impact driver is great, saves lots of time swapping the bits
I've used a a few worksite products They're not terrible if you need a product for less money but the prices are comparable with refurbished, factory seconds, or clearance sales on tool only dewalt or other name brands especially if you've already got the batteries.
I love these vids way too much, Also i'd love to see what a corded Milwaukee 3/4in Drill #1854 and other 1/2 corded drill would do vs the cordless in the torque test would do.
If you wanna go that route, old school B&D had their mag drill heads also available as handheld. Dad has the biggest in magdrill form, but it's handheld bretheren has the same specs, MT3 spindle, two speed gearbox with low free speed of 160RPM. 15 amps going in. :) That Milwaukee is strong, but it would put it in the ground.
Honestly, I love my little Xiaomi (hoto) drill, it takes up very little space and is surprisingly spunky for what it is. It's not a workshop tool but I've wall mounted my TV/Speakers with it and it torqued out my wrist when I was caught lacking 😅 I keep a set of nut drivers and square drive adapters in the case, it's driven some pretty hefty bolts.

How expensive is a replacement battery and how long will one presumably be available (for the latter one looking how long has that style of battery been offered by that company)
I think for most home users the battery is the first/only thing that will fail on their drills.
Wonder if some of these Chinese drills will take Makita batteries, they often do
12:26 Holy cow. You are literally casually explained. I love it
Honestly thought about getting the HOTO kit for my wife she loves her Dyson aesthetic. Glad I went with the Milwaukee installation driver instead.
If you want to get her something similar for less money. There's multiple electric screwdrivers that look similar. Walmart has a 4v Hyper Tough and the Workpro look the same. All probably made by Xiaomi too.
Low hanging fruit, but you should get her the DCK.
@@Jorath95 she doesn’t tend to like large red DCK’s. she says there a little much for her and hurt her wrists.
That DCK came out swinging hard. Definitely the kind of tool to put a smile on the missus face when you bust it out to show that she doesn't need to call a professional for that weekend project around the house or in the backyard.
2:20 i broke the chuck off of one doing drywall
Im surprised it had enough torque to do that, I'm impressed
@@TorqueTestChannel how i broke the chuck was using the drill as a screwdriver so no it didn't
This is hilarious. The Worksite drill is sold in my country under 4 different brand names (that I know of), some calling it 18v, some 20v. Makes you wonder how under how many different names is this being sold.
I would have thought that the possibly unintentional typo @4:54 "All testes are medians of 5 runs" would have been better suited to appear during DCK's run, but who am I to judge?
The 12v Bosch taht came up in the results on your searches is a mini beast. I use it professionally as an electrician. Only time I go for my bigger 18V machine is when I use holesaws in other stuff but plaster walls...
That DCK really comes out swingin n when its time for a load, its not premature lol
One of your most comedic yet - love it! Keep the DCK jokes coming!😂
Big DCK is back in town.
With all these cheap units. For some reason I’d love to see how bottom brands you can get in a store like warrior and hyper tough stack up compared to the amazon specials
me too
That was our plan, but a few of these amazon specials already beat MID TIER options from stores, so we'd just be going backwards somehow
@@TorqueTestChannel But hyper tough's line up is actually really extensive. and I have their batteries (for some gardening tools). If they are anywhere close to HART, then i'd much prefer hypertough
Well I have 18 volt warrior I love.
I've had it about 2 years, use mostly for pilot holes. Although I have used it for hole saws.
Battery life is good, don't recommend for pro use.
Not my primary drill either.
@@johnmckee7937 I have dewalt XRs and flexvolt and Milwaukee M12. But the drill I have with me 100% of the time is the black & decker matrix. Because I can bring a sawzall/impact/drill etc in such a small package its what I leave in the car. So I end up using it most......
That’s some big DCK energy right there
If you just need a cheap drill, gardenjoy for 30 USD seems perfectly functional. Batteries would probs die in half a year though.
I wonder if they'll ever release a hammer DCK. I bet it would do some good hammering.
If they did it would probably be longer and girthier than the one in the video. I'd have to get my hands on one so that I would win in a DCK measuring contest
The DCK hammer is currently even cheaper and more often in stock amzn.to/3QiGQpS Let it rip
@@TorqueTestChannel of course it is
I expect a DCK hammer to be smashing the next amazon roundup now pls. I'm sure it's gonna CREAM the competition.
They have a full sds hammer drill, and a caulk gun!
The Puns in this piece were just STELLAR!! Video was good too!😅
I knew this was gonna be fun when you bought the big DCK, and opined that the package would provide a bigger load..... Heh heh heh heh!!! Nice job.
I would love to know how the process played out, where one day, a giant red DCK shows up on Amazon's website..... Ohhhh, to have a hidden camera in a conference room somewhere, with full audio.... Please? Ohhh please.... I need to see these geniuses at work....
This is like a billion dollar sitcom idea..... TTC, take it & run. "How did the Product end up on the Webpage", an inside wacky look at being a lower level brand manager at a big company..... Ohh the wild & wacky shenanigans are nonstop!!! Heh heh heh!
Good video. Not that I'm interested in shitty drills but I'm curious how the Ikea "FIXA" drill would stack up to these. Presumably they sell a fair amount of them or they would have discontinued it by now. It's under $40 and 7.2V
I have one and it's actually OK for drilling in the paper composite ikea offers and it drives all screws they have to offer
The battery generally last 1-2 pieces of furniture depending on size
@@angrydragonslayer ah, it makes sense that it's designed just to help assemble their furniture and hang their shelves. The name "FIXA" made me think they intended people to be able to use it for some more advanced tasks but with 7.2V and that price tag i wouldn't expect much out of it
They also sell a 14V version that got me through actual legit work sites.
Lol, i was doing good until the "Richard"
Every single time i hear that reference i am reminded of the time a bunch of us was setting at the Nashville Airport and I had "Richard Cranium" paged to the guest phone over the airport intercom. Seeing 7 of your work buddies bust out laughing, good times.
Yes, it was and is childish but you know what they say "i dont want to grow up, im a Toys-R-Us kid"
DCK, DCA & Dong Cheng tools made by the same company, Jiangsu Dongcheng. They are very good tools & well known in Asia.
Absolutely amazing screwing power in that DCK, especially for such a compact package
This is moving towards my favourite youtube channel 🙂
Got that Big DCK energy going there!
It would be great to hook up a power supply or a oversized battery with some wires/spades. Standardise the power delivery and just test the tool. I think a fair few of these tools were hampered by the battery which can be relatively cheaply upgraded.
That DCK really went deep on those others drills.
I got the Hoto in a kit when I was on the Zon Vine program,gave it to my Step-Daughter for her house not to bad for small stuff.Greenworks test Greenworks Greenworks Greenworks.Ty for your time doing this
I heard of DCK a while ago from "da tool bear" and thought it was a joke. Turns out DCK makes industrial tools for the Asian market. I believe they are based out of Hong Kong as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
If the drill is an indicator of power the tools have, I would love to see what their other tools can do when tested.
Great job guys!!
Wow, this really blew me away!
Wow, I've never seen a 1/2" DCK work that well before. Impressive
That big red DCK...
SLAPPED all the competition out of the way
If that iDyson is super quiet it might be useful for that reason as noise can wear on the user, though for lightweight bench use only.
And what work exactly do you think would anyone do with that drill that takes a long time?
I had the impacting DCK. It was not a bad impact for the price. I literally bought it so I could go to my co-workers and say "hey hold my DCK for me." We had some laughs. Then I sent it back because that was too much to spend to keep a joke that would have only been funny for a little bit.
DCK ahead of the pack. You might say the competition got shafted. Looks to be in the same vein as Ryobi. I had a ball watching this video. Thanks
That DCK is hard hitting, and long lasting with that battery. You'll need 2 hands for sure, with all that torque.
Awesome testing and your Richard jokes are on point
The puns were off the chart. I've never searched amazon for DCK before but I might now😅
I enjoy your channel. I will avoid commenting on the sense of humor aspect, instead focusing on what a great service you provide for your target audience.
At the price point the "d" branded tool is, it proves that the gap between performance and price doesnt necessarily apply anymore and that established brands need to pay more attention to their price .
But performance is not the only important metric.
Maybe the brand tools are more expensive because they are better build? Meaning better longevity and maybe surviving a few falls.
@Jehty21 you are of course, correct in that no one would suggest that the "d" branded tool is as well made as a Milwaukee tool.
Having said that, for a occasional DIY person, this move could be a cost saving play, yet, with great performance. Note that the Black and Decker tool, though somewhst less expensive, was way down the list in terms of performance.
I bought the seesii impact that was tested for just over 100 usd including tax for my pickup tool box and I've used it several times without any concerns. With two batteries and excellent performance, if it gets stolen, I won't be out very much capital. I can't say that if my mid & high torque Milwaukee impacts were stolen. And my previous pickup with bolted down tool box and dual ABUS high security padlocks was stolen along with the truck and the truck was found 3 days later, stripped.
I’ve got a Hoto, it came with a fairly nice micro screwdriver kit for $45 if I recall correctly. I’ve got m12 fuel stuff, but wanted a tool to keep around the house for drilling holes in wood or drywall. At $45 it was a no brainer for the combo, for $80 for the drill alone I’d have passed on it.
DCK offers an impact driver as well if you're willing to test it sometime in the future.
Boy I bet that DCK impacts hard and deep.
Your DCK really performed a lot better than I thought it would
Definitely the most I’ve laughed watching one of your videos. Keep it up.
i have the same black & decker, mainly used only to drill as i had an impact driver from them already (well multi head tool could swap from impact to drill to sawzall to tire inflator to mini circular saw.) and it was decent for just doing light drilling,
i did end up sorta breaking the screw holding the chuck in after using the drill to start a snow blower with a broken pull string and starter motor by spinning the crank directly (fixing was near impossible as the entire snow blower had to be disassembled to even get at the broken parts), which worked very well several times till kickback spun the drill hard and snapped the chuck screw causing the chuck to come off, but it still works, just if i use it with too much torque in one direction the chuck likes to unscrew itself.
looky looky... Guess whos on top ? Thats right the "big" Richard!
I thought the force of the Hart was 14 and all of a sudden when a completely different drill was tested @6:10 it went to 18 🤔🙄
Am I missing something???
Hart then using the larger battery, to compare to the size on the DCK
@@TorqueTestChannel
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for clearing that up..
I understand now.
Boy that DCK is girthy
Fun review! Cind of unfair for the HOTO as its a 12v system. I have a small hoto pen looking driver i keep in the house for easy jobs and it works great. Charges via USB-C.
Great video! It's a shame they don't sell some of the top rated here in Amazon UK. Would be great to see how they compare to the more expensive BOSCH, Makita etc brands..
Didn't think I'd want a DCK when I woke up this morning. I might just have to grab me a DCK. Didn't realize I was missing DCK in my life.
I kinda want the Hoto just for the looks.
It's currently rly cheap
I enjoyed 100% of the dck puns. Outstanding
Cant wait to watch The Tool Show this week: "This week TTC gave away their new DCK!"
If a cordless drill can't out-torque my feeble body weight and a two-foot prybar, I'm not interested.
Subbed
The subtle humor thrown in, funny hahaha
Got that big DCK energy.
9:36 That's true but the gap between the performace of the top and bottom half of the pack is pretty big
Would love to see big DCK hooked up to the “beans” battery you guys made!
“Testes are a median of 5 tests” 😂😂😂
You said it might take two hands and I literally spit my drink out 😂 Now I have to clean up the garage.🤣
my wife has a DCK and she loves it, its bigger than the one I have so she just has me grab hers now.
The Worksight drill looks just like a Porter Cable dill that I own. About the only difference I see is the trigger and speed controls which on the PC are red not yellow.
I'm pretty sure that one and the one that was very similar here are probably made by whatever OEM supplier makes pretty much everyone's mid-grade brushless drills. In that category, you don't need cutting edge, proprietary design that costs a fortune to engineer. You just need cheap and competent. And it doesn't get any cheaper than using whatever factory builds millions of them with the only difference being a custom case and battery terminals to match whatever battery it needs to match. Then you just focus your own R&D on your flagship stuff, and pay for it with the sales of the cheapie.
Red Dck, can’t beat it!
Props for the most male anatomy jokes in a sub-15 minute video that I've ever seen. It does cause me to reflect on what kind of person I am to understand so many of them. 😅 Somewhat more seriously, this was a far better turnout than I would have expected given your other Amazon videos. Even the Apple wannabe completed the testing, which was more than I would have bet at the video start. 👍
love that you got the dck one. the dad jokes were well deserved and appreciated lol
The 1 drill is like a personal messager for real
The puns in this episode were on point 👌
Have to wonder if the DCK is forgoing longevity of the motor and/or battery for more power. I am impressed though.
I would love to get both of my hands on this huge, red DCK!
Glad the DCK provides such a big load
That's marvelous video and it's useful to know what Black & Decker has become.
I have one of the brushed Avid drills, its so useful as its just so darn light! I keep reaching for it for lighter duty drilling and removing screws, as it feels half the weight of my Ridgid. Enjoy the amazon reviews, not just a joke anymore!
I have a few drills myself, a bigger Bosch with swappable heads, a smaller 18v Bosch that came in a pretty cheap and decent tool set (drill, impact driver, oscillating tool, recip saw, and a flashlight), and a festool txs. Most often I use the big Bosch for serious work, and small Bosch and festool for light stuff as they are quite small and handy. Having several drills and an impact driver is great, saves lots of time swapping the bits
I've used a a few worksite products They're not terrible if you need a product for less money but the prices are comparable with refurbished, factory seconds, or clearance sales on tool only dewalt or other name brands especially if you've already got the batteries.
Ahhh... The endless innuendo is well worth the price of admission. Dicken's Cider anyone? LOL!
Yall did the dyson! Fookin legends
I woul love to see a runout comparison for drills 🕊
Boy that red one really DCK slapped the competition.
I love these vids way too much, Also i'd love to see what a corded Milwaukee 3/4in Drill #1854 and other 1/2 corded drill would do vs the cordless in the torque test would do.
If you wanna go that route, old school B&D had their mag drill heads also available as handheld. Dad has the biggest in magdrill form, but it's handheld bretheren has the same specs, MT3 spindle, two speed gearbox with low free speed of 160RPM. 15 amps going in. :) That Milwaukee is strong, but it would put it in the ground.
@@TheMetalButcher holy hell that sounds badass!
Honestly, I love my little Xiaomi (hoto) drill, it takes up very little space and is surprisingly spunky for what it is. It's not a workshop tool but I've wall mounted my TV/Speakers with it and it torqued out my wrist when I was caught lacking 😅 I keep a set of nut drivers and square drive adapters in the case, it's driven some pretty hefty bolts.
