My current cordless drill has two problems: 1) the battery no longer holds charge for more than half a dozen drillings. 2) the chuck is worn and no longer holds a drill bit long enough to drill a hole.
Since I bought this about 15 years ago I thought I would treat myself to buying a new one today. I’m moving to the Erbauer EXT 18v ecosystem – meaning that I have common battery chargers (actually two, which is nice) and a set of batteries that fit into all the tools I’ll own. So far I have a rotary sander and a multi-tool. Today I bought a twin-pack of a drill and an impact driver.
I had no idea what an impact driver does but a bit of research shows that it is good for long screws through wood and concrete etc. You don;t have to pre-drill holes I think. Should be useful when it comes to replacing the decking at the front, and also the garage art installation.
