I see in some of your videos you use the Bosch power tools. Do you recommend a drill/driver that will drive down screws that are very stubborn, almost impossible to turn by hand? I just bought a New Makita with a Li-Ion battery. Not doing this job well.

Drill a pilot hole.... It's that easy....

Dear Mr. Carter I plan to install kitchen cabinets in my kitchen that is 10x10. It's a very small kitchen. I know nothing about drill. I follow your videos and thought I'd ask you if I 12V drill would do the job. I will not be using the drill that often. Maybe once in 6 months the most. Do I really need to spend $100 on a drill that I'll use just to install the 10x10 kitchen once? Or can I get away with buying something less expensive drill like Craftmaster or Black&Decker?

You can get a less expensive one for one-job use. I'm sure the drill will not burn up on this small job.

@walkingfreak

true.

[hitachi088]

can you imagine that those thing draw like 10amp+++ when they use full torque.

worst thing is that 3/4 of the time they dont sell spare battery.

[ja99ha]

By the way its an 18V Makita that i'm using

[AsktheBuilder]

Goes without saying....

[walkingfreak]

Very true but the cordless battery dies down and it looses torque so the cordless might have more torque but it looses torque over time but both are very good for different uses

[AsktheBuilder]

Be sure to define power. If you mean unlimited power so long as there is electricity, Yes. If you mean torque, there are cordless drills with more torque than a corded model.
