Why Trust Us

Evidence Over Hype

We convert specs into job-ready numbers you can plan around—holes-per-charge, under-load RPM, reach/clearance, and measurable fatigue. Every recommendation ties back to repeatable tests in wood, masonry, and metal, plus field validation on real jobs.

The Team Behind the Data

Our lab engineer designs fixtures and verifies measurement accuracy; a journeyman electrician and a finish carpenter ground our results in daily trade reality; a service advisor clarifies warranties, maintenance, and battery care; and a data analyst turns raw logs into clear, comparable insights. This mix lets us evaluate drills for access, finish quality, and safety—not just torque on a spec sheet.

Platform-Smart Guidance

We don’t chase one-off “winners.” We map upgrade paths within battery ecosystems so your next saw, nailer, or SDS+ tool fits your chargers and packs. For teams, we model standardized SKUs, charger counts, runtime per shift, and downtime risk by temperature—so supervisors can justify procurement with clear TCO.

Transparent Methods and Limits

Our How We Test page documents fixtures, materials, and metrics. When data is incomplete or outside our test envelope, we say so. We publish unfavorable results and label assumptions. Affiliate links help fund testing but do not influence rankings; see our Editorial Policy and Privacy Policy for details.

Safety and Finish Quality First

We evaluate kickback control, auxiliary handle use, clutch precision, and bit retention to reduce injuries and rework. We measure runout and trigger control so finish carpenters and makers can protect surfaces and fasteners.

If you want us to model a specific scenario or platform comparison, email [email protected] with materials, bit sizes, climate, and runtime targets. We’ll either point you to existing data or add it to our queue.
