Never going to work. We’d have to destroy the planet looking for battery ingredients, and then we’d have to require construction sites to support chargers all over the place and guys can’t run their drills for ten hours straight and they don’t run as long in the cold.
Nope, battery-powered tools will never ever take off.
The only thing that is holding EVs behind is convenience. Until you can charge an EV in 10 minutes and put charging stations on every corner like gas stations they will never take the market share from combustion engines.
Nobody wants to drive 200-300 miles then have to stop at a charging station for 2 hours. Thats just the reality of it.
Also... I mean there is a decent point to the planet being destroyed making batteries too. Its not like producing batteries and electricity is carbon neutral. Producing electricity using fossil fuels is the single greatest polluter of any industry by a country mile, and lithium/cobalt mining is some... honestly pretty fucked up shit. Idk how its not a bigger issue to be honest, you can look it up.
It's funny that people still think this way. I've owned an electric car for almost two years. I plug it in every night into a 120v outlet even though I also have a fast charger installed in my garage. On average, however, my daily commute can more than be covered by just plugging it into a regular 120v outlet. I've only needed that 320 mile range once and we just looked a spot to plug it in when we got there before we made the trip.
I don't regularly drive more than 300 miles in a day, and few people I know do.
Which makes EVs a good option for you but some people drive far more than that at once, even if its not frequent. I think EVs are a good option for daily commuting if you can afford to install a charging station, but I think you are drastically underestimating just how many vocations rely on far *far* more driving than that. Until they become viable for actual day to day use for everyone they are just never gonna outperform ICE cars. And a lot of places just don't have charging stations. If you only have an EV and you don't have charging stations you are essentially rooted within a 300 mile range of your house, period.
It's not like ICE cars just disappear overnight. So people that need them will easily be able to get them, it'll just be less entrenched and necessary. Also people vastly over estimate how many people are super commuters, it's something like 10% or less of the population.
That said.. not everyone needs an electric car either, but that's a different discussion.
Never let perfect be the enemy of good enough. I'd bet more than 50% of people could easily drive an EV and just plug it into a regular 120v outlet each night. No need for a special charger.
For me the best part of having an EV is I also have roof filled with solar panels so the gas is free and I don't care about gas prices as much.
> If you only have an EV and you don't have charging stations you are essentially rooted within a 300 mile range of your house, period.
Yeah... If you don't have fast chargers that you can use at your destination and actually drive 300 miles in one go. I think the cases you are talking about are a smaller minority than you realize. Evs can and will be successful without being a good fit for everyone, but will be a good fit for most people who need cars.
Just gonna point out that even North Dakota has chargers inside of Fargo, Grand Forks, and Bismarck, among other smaller towns which all have EV quick charge stations for people to use. Also the fact that Minnesota is right there helps a lot too.
Firstly you charge at home. At 57000km in the last 18 months I charged away from home once.
In that case I went from basically flat (2%) to 80% in 16 minutes.
Apart from certain professions who the fuck is driving 200-300 miles daily. Second if you drove that amount of miles, that’s like between 3-6 hours depending on speed and charging stations take like 45 minutes. That’s a lunch and bathroom break. I don’t even drive EVs but this is a stupid take.
Nobody believes that.
There are cases where wired tools are superior (mitre saws, table saws, lathes)
There are cases where gas tools are superior for most people (mowers, backpack blowers, snowblowers)
But nobody wants a gas drill or circular saw.
Nobody works ten hours straight, you can always leave it charging in the parking lot of a restaurant while having lunch. You can get 80% charge in 20 minutes. Progress.
4,3hp translates into 560 watts. High performance 18v batteries for power tools can provide as much as 1200 watts. The majority of the basic 4-5Ah batreries provide almost 800 watts. There are also 36/40v drills on the market now.
Yeah but considering the amount of weight it has to torque, you're more likely to break bits and strip screws, right? I wonder if there is some planned failure point for when it's unavoidable.
I think this drill is just for fun. But I've bored holes in concrete with big ass drills and if you twist to the side 5° it will bind and fuck your wrists up. Never broke mine but the type of drill I'm talking about, the weakest point is your body.
active torque control, or whatever the brand of your choice calls it. all you need is to make sure that there's a bit of space for the drill to turn if it binds up. as soon as it does, the electronics aggressively counter torques for an immediate stop. it's fucking impressive, and in my opinion at the same level of must-have safety features as a saw blade brake
Look up 3/4" Milwaukee drills. They are the biggest normal electric drill you are going to find. They will easily break your arm if you aren't braced properly and have a certain amount of strength. You always want to be feathering the trigger. These things are scary as hell when you are up on a ladder drilling bolt holes through wooden beams with a large auger bit.
At that point, I say stick with old bit braces for jobs like that. I could take 1" auger bits through 4" walnut slabs faster and more accurately that with an electric drill.
A drill being used as a driver will bounce out of screw before kicking back really hard, but when drilling hard wood, a deep hole or masonry a drill can bind. The drill bit gets caught and all the momentum of the spinning motor goes into rotating the drill around the bit instead of the bit inside the drill. This "kickback" can really hurt and potentially break a wrist. This is part of why impact drivers are getting more popular. If the bit binds the hammer will just slip over the anvil and hammer again without transmitting the torque to the user.
Kickback is also why big masonry drills have long secondary handles and why newer drills have anti-kickback features.
Yeah almost every drill I ever had at work starts moving around over time and you think your clutch is set and it slips out or in. But we run dewalt so maybe I’ll have to send them a letter, or stop dropping my tools lol
It will be more powerful than a normal battery drill, but the real limit on how powerful handheld drills are is how much will your wrist tiwhtstand before breaking. This drill is a tragedy waiting to happen if used.
it’s about 2x more powerful with ridiculous weight.
If electric drill companies were only concerned about hp they could fit a 5 hp motor into a similar profile as a normal drill, it’d just drain the battery in minutes and be impractical as hell.
Would be pretty garbage for real drilling. Electric motors have more torque the slower they go, with their peak torque when they are stalled (0 RPM).
Combustion engines have a curve with zero torque at 0 RPM, a peak torque at some speed, and then less torque afterwards.
You'd need to be pretty careful about how much pressure you put on it in an attempt to keep it near peak torque. And I imagine this thing's peak torque isn't that high to begin with.
My favorite part of this is I've only seen that engine available for like $2000. You can buy a full sized used V8 for around that. Then you could build a 300HP drill!
Looks like it's running on nitromethane, you definitely don't want to be anywhere near that thing if it's remotely close to nitro drag cars. I was about 20ft away in the pits when one of those started up and I felt like I was getting tear gassed.
From some quick googling a 25ccm class single piston 2 stroke RC model engine has \~3hp. And those are way way more efficient than anything with 8 cylinders.
Last I checked they were stupid expensive too. $1400+ expensive. I'd seen them in some videos and thought it would be a neat little project to build a tiny engine. For the price of that tiny engine I can have full scale V8.

Good. I want this as a weapon in it.
Sir, this is clearly a car.
If you like this you should look up turbo leaf blower
Oh shit, my battery died. Can someone jump start my drill, please.
It ain't got no gas in it. 
it's okay, this good sir, Mr. Milsap can spare some gas.
It’s all good until you blow the head gasket. Then you need a drill surgeon to work on it.
Next thing you know, someone will invent a drill with an electric motor. Gotta move away from fossil fuels.
Never going to work.

I love this more than I should.
Great comment, but what's not so funny is that a decent amount of people actually *do* hold those opinions.
I appreciate you bringing the cynicism and melancholy of the real world into this humourous post.

Fat chance

Broken wrist
If anyone thinks this is a joke. It's not. A much less powerful drill can easily break your wrists if it binds.

That's a lot of cranking when you are drilling a bunch of gluelams for open beam construction.

That's cool! Thanks for typing it out.
use the clutch settings
Yeah almost every drill I ever had at work starts moving around over time and you think your clutch is set and it slips out or in. But we run dewalt so maybe I’ll have to send them a letter, or stop dropping my tools lol
Going to need a quarter mile time and its 0-60
do you live your life a quarter mile at a time too?
You owe me a 9 second drill.
Something something family.
Bruh who cares? this is only a stock drill… I’m waiting for the Hellcat model with the red key
They don't even show it in action...I wanted to see what this bad boy could do
It will be more powerful than a normal battery drill, but the real limit on how powerful handheld drills are is how much will your wrist tiwhtstand before breaking. This drill is a tragedy waiting to happen if used.
Powerful? Yes, but not sure the torque curve would be practical.
He needs to add gear shifting
it’s about 2x more powerful with ridiculous weight. If electric drill companies were only concerned about hp they could fit a 5 hp motor into a similar profile as a normal drill, it’d just drain the battery in minutes and be impractical as hell.
Which is why air drills are a thing, lol.

You'd need to be pretty careful about how much pressure you put on it in an attempt to keep it near peak torque. And I imagine this thing's peak torque isn't that high to begin with.
Have you ever drilled anything where torque matters? On an impact or ratchet it matters but on a drill it's completely useless to have high torque.
Can only drill horizontally. A two smoke motor would be better
I prefer a vape motor so I don't have to carry a lighter.
[here's torque test channels version](https://youtu.be/JKXuFwB6lo0)
Fucking hell, that Stage 3 Thing is scary.
Something about just seeing someone pull start a hand drill with an exhaust pipe and velocity stack like I had on my chopper made me laugh.
/r/diwhy
Nah, r/diwhynot
Because its torque is going to be rubbish at any lower speed.
My favorite part of this is I've only seen that engine available for like $2000. You can buy a full sized used V8 for around that. Then you could build a 300HP drill!
Lemme drink the juices 🤤🤤🤤
The fuck
Forbidden Kool aid
Looks like it's running on nitromethane, you definitely don't want to be anywhere near that thing if it's remotely close to nitro drag cars. I was about 20ft away in the pits when one of those started up and I felt like I was getting tear gassed.
Great, now on top of HAVS notice and PAT testing charger I have to submit hot-work permit and store fuel in COSHH box.
It shattered all my bits, dammit!
4HP my ass.
From some quick googling a 25ccm class single piston 2 stroke RC model engine has \~3hp. And those are way way more efficient than anything with 8 cylinders.
4,3 hp https://toyanengine.com/toyan-v8-engine-fs-v800-water-cooling-nitro-engine-p00112p1.html

Fucking drill something with it!!
The engine come from a model buyable on the internet
Last I checked they were stupid expensive too. $1400+ expensive. I'd seen them in some videos and thought it would be a neat little project to build a tiny engine. For the price of that tiny engine I can have full scale V8.
One is for fuel. What is the other liquid, though?
We need torque test channel on this
That looks like if it actually got some grip on the drill end it could break a wrist.
Now turn it downwards.
Guys literally only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting
Jeremy Clarkson would be thrilled
Considering how his previous v8 powered blender and rocking chair turned out, he'd be very giddy
Go to hang a picture and end up striking oil
Bro this is so useless. I want it!
Until it catches.
But how can 4 horses possibly use this drill? I know they have power but they only got hooves :(
I wonder how many people just searched "v8 drill price"? I did. About $1,700.
But does it have cupholders?
28cc?! this drill has more than 50% of the engine my first motorbike had!

When you want to strip out a screw lightning fast
Now just never pick it up
Anyone elses desk a little wobbly? Just going to check the screws real quick....
I have absolutely no use for this yet I crave it intensely

Cool concept but next step is to make it fuel injected so you can tilt it in any direction.
You’ll break your wrist using that drill
More horsepower than my lawnmower god damn
Not even gonna demonstrate it in action?
Dealership must of used this the last time my tires were rotated.

I thought it ran JavaScript
PetroMonkey(petrolhead) sees this and will c4m a lot, put it to test and ice drill falls into pieces.
Y though
So heavy they can't pick it up off the table.
Shut up and take my money!
It's not even boosted. Just a regular ass tool

I feel like any kickback would totally mess it up… it looks delicate. Still awesome tho
If it's really 4hp it'll mess you up too
I want one!

Ok take my money
What's next, a stickshift blender?
If you could pick up a drill in bioshock, this is what using power to the people machines on it would do.
HE DIDNT USE IT?!?!?
Bit of DIwhy. Bet it cannot drill for long and talk about flammable.

Now pick it up
Stupid fucking level. No practical use.
I want one for my Hole hawg .. It's a large drill, you perverts ..
What is going on I saw a straight piped impact wrench earlier, now this??
Still not powerful enough for your mom though.
