in first gear (vs 550 claimed), 1,798 RPM in second gear (vs 2,000 claimed)

in first gear (matched its rating exactly), 2,154 RPM in second gear (beat its 2,100 rating); the highest measured RPM of all 6 drills in both gears

at the lowest (level 1) setting, up to 173 in-lb at the highest (level 14) setting; narrator notes this is 'definitely not a tool for delicate work' since, unlike the mechanical-clutch drills, it cannot disengage near 0 in-lb

at the lowest (level 1) setting, up to 107 in-lb at the highest (level 21) setting

at the lowest (level 1) setting, up to 327 in-lb at the highest (level 11) setting, a notably wide/high ceiling compared to the mechanical-clutch drills

at the lowest setting, up to 44 in-lb at the highest (level 24) setting

at the lowest setting, up to 52 in-lb at the highest (level 21) setting

finished the full 12 in bit in 1 minute 53 seconds without slowing down, one of only 3 brands (with Makita and DeWalt) to finish the bit

the fastest of all 6 drills, finishing the full bit in 1 minute 22 seconds (nearly 30 seconds faster than Milwaukee), but the battery overheated at the end of the test and required about 20 minutes to cool down

finished the full 12 in bit in 1 minute 43 seconds, 10 seconds faster than Milwaukee and 21 seconds slower than Makita, with no overheating issue

described as pretty fast but ran out of steam at 1 minute 33 seconds, reaching about 9.5 in into the concrete, the same depth as HART but reached about a minute faster

described as doing well for a budget tool, gave up at 2 minutes 6 seconds having reached about 9.5 in into the concrete, did not finish the full 12 in bit

held in there for about 2.5 minutes before giving up, reaching about 7.75 in into the concrete, the shortest distance of all 6 drills

the highest of all 6 drills

third highest of the 6 drills

second highest of the 6 drills, behind only Milwaukee

fourth highest of the 6 drills

fifth of the 6 drills

the lowest of all 6 drills

battery lasted just short of 64 minutes, second best of all 6 drills

battery lasted 60 minutes 40 seconds, the shortest runtime of the three 5Ah-battery drills tested (Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt)

battery ran for 70 minutes, the best runtime of all 6 drills

battery lasted 49 minutes 40 seconds, third best runtime of the 6 drills

battery was the first of all 6 drills to run out, at just short of 22 minutes
