Some cordless drills even have enough torque to do more injury then some may realize.
the new stuff, with the 18 volt ass whooping batteries need to be treated
with all the respect of a corded drill.
when i'm drilling, and don't want to play "spin the sparky" i use a
Milwaukee auger with replaceable cutting blade. it's a single cutting edge,
so it's not quite as bad as something with three flukes hanging up. you
can usually just bull thru, chunking up the offending nail as you go.
i use a 6" extension, with quick release chuck in the drill, and have two
24" extensions i can add to it. i drill from the floor. it's faster. i'll usually
run with the 6" extension, and the 24" extension for most holes. i can pull
the 24" out of the plan when it gets in the way, or add the second 24" when
i'm doing plates. i really don't drill much off a ladder if i don't have to.
i use a 18 volt festool battery drill, and with half a dozen batteries and two
chargers, i can drill continuously. the festool doesn't have a side handle,
and it should, but it's brushless, uses a VFD and a 3 phase motor, and is
indestructible. the chuck is a quick release, so you can have two or three
different things chucked up, and change them in a second, including a
right angle attachment that is super small.
i've got a Milwaukee super hawg, and it's really too much to drill with,
unless you are a plumber putting in 4" drain pipe. it's got a clutch on the
low speed setting, honestly for safety's sake, not to make it more controllable.
it's not controllable. what it came with was my maxxis tugger, and it works fine
there.
