Dang, those Kookaburras are louder than the drill. I hope that they do shut up through the night.
When drilling in concrete / masonry you always need to blow out the holes; you were almost certainly compacting cement dust at the bottom of the hole (by screwing in those anchors), and that was why the screw wasn't going in (what you thought was a shallow hole that needed redrilling was this).
Was exatly what I thought. But still the impact driver was on its limit I think.
I was blowing the holes, the magic of video editing.
Just dont bother with a percussion drill like that on concrete, just get a SDS plus rotary hammer. Infinitely faster and doesnt wreck your ears and hjandy, so worth the money.
I’ve always been a fan of Bosch. I trust them as a brand. Not just for tools. They make a ton of OEM spec car parts for both new and old vehicles. Starters, distributors, ignition coils, spark plugs, brake rotors, etc. Any part I’ve ever purchased by Bosch has been super reliable and I’ve never had a single issue.
They make the motor on my electric bike. It is a little noisier than the competition but is superb in every other way.
After extensive research I found that most of the cordless tools are pretty good and the biggest factor is availability and which color you like.
Dave, it doesn’t matter what brand but do yourself a favour and get an SDS drill for concrete or brick. Bosch do a few so you can use the same batteries. It is like chalks and cheese the difference. Honestly, it would take you 1/10th the time to drill each hole and with almost zero effort. You can also use them as a power chisel and more. Well worth every penny. If your trades person has an SDS drill ask if you can have a go,, you really will be amazed.
In a previous video he explained that he had one but there is not enough room to use it there which is why he is using that cordless hammer drill.
More than twice the price of both these combined. This does what I need.
@@ppdannot enough room? He’s standing in the hole
@@BrickTop900 Still narrow for a decent SDS hammer.
@@EEVblog2 That is insane compared to what they were in the old country a couple of years ago when I got mine. The prices have rocketed.
Another seasoned DIY guy here, I prefer a plugg an proper screws in lieu of those concrete screws, especially if you have to go back and forth with the drill bit, you wear out the possibility of a good bite. Some of those screws will not hold, you should feel the screw biting, the revs going down, the hinge being pulled flush with the concrete, possibly deforming the metal if not a flat surface underneath.
Where is the vibration going to come from to loosen them? There are also 3 screws per bracket, plus construction adhesive.
@@EEVblog2What about opening and closing the pool cover lid? That is going to put some strain on those screws over time.
@@EEVblog2 Sure, but at least one of those screws go in with little to no force at all, and in between the hinge and the concrete you will have dust from the drilling making the construction adhesive working with dusty surfaces, not good. If anything, I would blow out the drilled holes, fill them with chemical anchor and then put the screws. These quick solutions are for professionals giving a 2-5 years warranty as they are on the clock. The benefit of doing it yourself is that you have the time for curing and such, putting extra attention to details. Much like many painters using acrylic paint as it holds color, covers good and more importantly dries very fast allowing two coatings in a day, but it provides no treatment of the wood itself. It is like a hazmat suit instead of an immune system. One bees dick hole in that hazmat suit and ur a gonner.
Always blow out the hole after you drill it ..
That's what she said. I did. The magic of editing.
Bosch tools are good, and the drill bits that Bosch makes are also pretty good as well. The SDS ones are really good, ans very durable. The pro line is a good range, and well capable as well, and the back up spares and service wise are also very good.
I agree, they are top range indeed, maybe not the absolute best but the possibility to get spares for 20 years old+ stuff is gold
I have the same impact driver and the model up hammer drill (all metal chuck). Came in a set along with a matching work light and reciprocating saw. They were real cheap a few months back from Amazon. Battery compatibility was the key factor in my purchase - I already had a Bosch drill in the same system. I have no complaints about any of them.
Love my Bosch. Remember to register them to get the 6 year warranty. If you play the redemption game you can get Some nice stuff too.
I always try to buy Bosch (here in Argentina is kinna REALLY expensive in owr currency) but always worked well for me, and an impact driver is one of the inversions tht i was looking at. Its great to see it in action (of course i ve to investigate more)
i have found if you need to drill lots of fixings holes at the same depth .measure and mark the drill bit with a sharpie .measure with a dot on the drill bit .and spin the drill up and touch the sharpie at the dot to draw a ring around the drill bit .insulation tape was how i used to do it
So this dose not become a meam.You might need to spin the drill in reverse .so the fluting in the drill bit dosent destroy the tip of the sharpie
im asuming the helix is the same as us in the UK
Got four blue Bosch 230V angle grinders, they refuse to die and just keep on trucking. I'm really harsh on them too. Hard to quantify but they seem more durable than Makita in my experience, at least for corded angle grinders.
I've had all the brand name tools over the years. Got a Bosch drill 3 years ago. It's lasted longer than any of the other drills. It's noticeably lighter than the 18V Dewalt. I took the chance because it was 18V 2 batteries and $60 bucks. Turns out the best portable drill I've ever owned.
I wanted to go with makita for my cordless drills because they seemed more sturdy and the fast charging, but in the end I went for Bosch because of the weight.
When you use those all day the weight really matters.
You should have a showdown between the *Hammer* drill & the *Impact* drill, with both chucks holding onto one end of the a hexagonal rod!!!
I love my Bosch 18V tools but I learned the hammer drill feature in the drills works poorly compared to a dedicated hammer drill such as the GBH18V-20N using SDS bits. It's night and day, drilling in seconds with very little force.
Of course, but that costs more than both of these tools combined. This works fine for my needs.
Nice demonstration, only you should get rid of dust in the hole after drilling, or drill a deeper hole to accommodate that.
watch the whole video
It hurts seeing Dave use the wrong tools for the job!
For concrete you should use a SDS rotary hammer drill. Normal hammer drills are for softer materials, which is why it took such a long time and lots of effort to drill the holes, and still you ended up with an inferior result.
Hardly makes a difference if you just need to drill a few 1/4" holes for a singgle project. SDS drills are like $400
I doubt I can fit my bosch SDS between the walls, it's pretty tight in there.
The Hilti I have access to is for sure not going to fit.
"A long time and lots of effort"? hardly, it took me only minutes. If I was drilling concrete every day as a tradie then yes I'd have an SDS system, but this tool worked just fine in this application. And how is it an "inferior" result?
@@samuraidriver4x4 I couldn't fit my existing corded hammer drill in the space.
A think a heavy nutdriver with the proper hex adapter would work better.
I only buy the smaller impact drivers (12V) and for all heavier stuff just take my impact nut driver. However I am not sure if Bosch GDR and GDX are really different, might be the same with just a different head.
Good morning!
Wow those birds sound crazy
Sounds like you live next to a zoo, that’s just Australia.
Somehow the concrete is so-so. For all of our factory concrete need a SDS+ type hammer drill.
Never mind a hammer drill, you need an air rifle to deal with that screeching 😂
A bit of tape with a tail on the bit makes it easier to know how far you need to go.
That and pre-drill all holes and bolts in before you glue up first
This bit already had a colured marker in it.
@@EEVblog2 and you missed the mark a few times just in the recording :P
I also love Bosch Professional and have a few 12v and 18v tools but some tools are not the best that's when I use my HiKoki tools.
But what is going on here!? 🤔
How does your gdr impact driver have the light near the chuck? Their website and the brand new one I just bought has the light at the bottom near the battery attachment
Good enough for Australia 🙂
Damn. AU$200 for any power tool with a Bosch logo is pretty good. Fantastic as a kit! Best I've managed is a US$220 DeWalt "20v Max" kit, so great find. But, definitely watch out for the wonky human operator. That's always the problem. 😉👍
The camera shutter makes it look like the drill is going backwards or is it just that Australia is upside down.
The latter.
Yeah not bad price on them drills Dave there
Transfer punch might have helped.
If you hold the tools upside down the electrons will fall out!
If you hold it upside it will actually perfom better because gravity will help pushing the electrons from battery to the motor!
@@ppdan but he's in Austria!
@@bertblankenstein3738 I doubt he is in Austria.
He isn't wearing any "lederhosen".
@ppdan I know, but he always reminds us to not send mailbag items to Austria.
9:28.... I agree....
Good enough for Straya.
Might it be better to drill each hole as you go and put the screws in as you drill them?
Not in this case, there are alignment and bonding needs to consider.
Good enough for Australia 😜
Are you in hammer mode it dosn't sound like it, and always drill the hole deeper than the screw.
Do your neighbors have pet pterodactyls or are they native to Australia? I've never heard such screeching in my life.
Have the same drill. Works ok in fresh concrete, but terrible in old concrete.
Why do you not need dowels for the screws? I am an EE from Germany and I have never seen screws without dowels in concrete.
They are concrete/brick screws. Sharp wide thread designed for this. Very common.
@@EEVblog2yes, but you’re not meant to keep taking them out. They’re a one shot anchor to get maximum fixing strength
Yep here in Belgium als not verry common .. in usa they called 'Tapcons" .. it probably depends a lot on material if they grab or not .. also removing them en reusing them might not work very well ... I stick to wall ankers plasic of metal .
Common here in Germany, too. For example when putting windows or doors into buildings.
@@whocares281 Interesting. Apparently i know little of concrete screws.
from Aldi?
Bunnings.
$200 is a bargain... an OzBargain!
Good buy, $200 gets you one 18V Milwaukee battery 5.0Ah
Seriously?
$192.95 @ Sydney Tools to be exact@@EEVblog2
What a hobby "hammer" drill. Get a proper SDS drill with a pneumatic hammer.
Just put some hair around it, mate. You'll get it in there in no time.
what??
I miss playing PUBG
