I bought my Dewalt DW246 "corded" drill a few years ago when we were
plumbing our house. I chose it specifically for it's low speed and high
torque. My primary use was driving a 2" self-feeding auger bit for running
drain and vent pipes. Every other drill I had owned (including an old
heavy duty monster I inherited from my dad) would simply bog down when in a
bind. So I was completely unprepared for the torque of the tiny little
DW246. The first time the auger hit a knot and spun ME around into the
wall was a painful learning experience. Since then I always try to brace
the extra handle against a firm support like a stud or wall, and I always
take it as slow as possible in case it does bind.
Just last weekend I was drilling a 4-1/2" hole for a dryer duct, standing
on a ladder in my in-laws basement. Despite bracing the extra handle
against the foundation wall, the hole saw still bound and slammed my hand
into the joists and foundation a few times. Thankfully I was well balanced
so I didn't get knocked off the ladder.
It's an awesome tool, but it does demand respect.

Why go to the Borg? That's 2.5 miles from where I am. The razor wire of
Ft Bragg is 2000ft down the road. The Blackhawks are a few hundred
feet...up. I want one...just one.
