I have the genuine one as well. Never tried the Dewalt but I heard the Makita is 2 pounds lighter.

They may make drilling easy & fun, but don't get carried away.

Nothing like a 1/2" drill and a sharp auger bit. Is that MC or AC, must be in NYC.

 

[nickelec]

It's AC and yes in Brooklyn

AC cable in a wood framed house. Only in insane NYC. :slaphead::slaphead:

And yes, I know about Chicago too.

You can use Romex here in anything under 3 stories residential only, I'm just accustomed to using AC throughout my career and it's my own house so can't teach an old dog new tricks I guess

Thanks to DrCampbell. The Inter/national Building (IBC) or Residential code (IRC) is enforced by AHJ inspectors/insurers and fire marshalls. Lucky to see this here, albeit a relatively recent reference citing the 2008 NEC.

You are using the wrong tool for the ceilings. Get yourself one of these.

Do you prefer AC to MC?

 

[nickelec]

The New York City amendment that really bugs me the most is that you cannot use $ 14 wire at all no matter what for like voltage applications. They should really amendment again at least allow you to use it for new construction only . And for lighting circuits only if they want to get crazy

Hole Hawgs are only made by Milwaukee. :lol:


The OP's drill is just a Black & Decker, had to use the DeWalt name because the B & D name has been degraded badly.
