    No pre-drilling. 5” screw. c.200 Nm of torque. 25mm PZ3 (Metabo) bit. Magnetic Milwaukee bit holder.

    The bits break first, by design. The bit holder hardly ever breaks. Never broken the gun.

    It’s horses for courses at the end of the day. “If it works, it works” is the mantra I was brought up around.

      Yeah I never thought that drill would last as it has for me, I need to get an impact drill eventually probably, but I figure I’ll do it when I hit a job I can’t stand this old thing for. I got that as a young lad, so now I feel like I just drag it out like it’s bad knees and ankles setting into the mid-late 30s like me
