There are many drills that have to drop down into low speed to complete it effectively, and in the process, can torque the mess out of your wrist and elbow. Okay, to be fair, I would have tested it with the same hole saw regardless. I’d be remiss if I didn’t again mention the task itself wasn’t in danger of failure even though the speed was down.įestool doesn’t offer a maximum hole saw recommendation, so it got to try 3 inches like the rest of the drills we’ve tested. Granted, Festool was slower than the heavy-duty models. Averaging just 8.97 seconds to make it through our 3 inches of plywood, it didn’t have the issues of getting bogged down as we saw in some of the other drills we tested. However, let’s keep in mind that the amount of torque available is lower – and the QuaDrive was able to complete the task with no hesitation.īoring 1 inch holes with a threaded tip spade bit also presented little challenge for the QuaDrive. This would have been near the bottom of the group. Driving them flush to the wood surface took an average of 5.27 seconds.

It’s not a quick connect like you’ll find on an impact driver though.ĭriving 3-1/2 inch by 3/8 inch diameter lag bolts into those pilot holes was next. With the empty chuck, you’ll be able to insert any 1/4″ bit. It’s a big deal thanks to the QuaDrive’s design as a drill with interchangeable chucks. There are a lot of features packed into the Festool PDC 18-4 QuaDrive Set. Whether or not it’s right for you is your decision! Festool PDC 18-4 QuaDrive Cordless Drill Set Features But that’s the thing-it’s just my opinion. As we work through the features and performance of the Festool PDC 18/4 QuaDrive Cordless Drill Set, I’ll tell you the facts along with some information regarding design intent, and offer my opinion of the overall experience. At the same time, I want to offer you what I wish I was being given. Okay, I do need to get off my soapbox here for a moment. Heck, imagine if I were even given the opportunity to ask a few questions myself in getting to an answer! For once, I’d just like to have the facts about what is going on and be left to use my own reasoning to come to a conclusion.
You know, one of my major complaints about the news media, in general, is that I can’t seem to get a story without the spin.
