today I am testing homeowner battery cordless drills yes this is an Amazon
bestseller and Amazon choice test and I have a Porsche and a Black and Decker drill
so let's find out if you should have an Amazon bestseller or an Amazon choice we're Machinery
Nation let's crack on tested by Machinery Nation I'm gonna test them in wood metal and brick see
how they perform as a screwdriver and check out their features and benefits the Amazon choice is
a Black and Decker BCD 700 s1k it's 18 volt has 40 Newton meters of torque two speed settings a
hammer action comes with one battery and a charger and costs us 45 pounds 99 pounds the Amazon best
seller is a Bosch PSB 1800 li-2 it's also 18 volt but only has 38 newton meters of torque two speed
settings has hammer and screw actions comes with two batteries and a charger and cost us 85 pounds
this drill is also part of the power all Alliance more about that later let's get on with the first
test hello darkness smile right so the first test is drilling through some wood and I've got this
half inch or 13 millimeter drill bit which we're going to do six holes each per drill through this
inch thick or 25.4 millimeters bit of plywood to see how quickly you can drill six holes with the
Black and Decker at first and then the Bosch let's see which is quickest let's do the test
God foreign
foreign
there it is so they can both drill wood let's see if they can drill metal now
two brand new four millimeter drill bits three holes each let's see how they get on
all right black and darker up fast let's go
foreign
yes masonry test we're gonna put them both into Hammer action and we've got
two brand new 5.5 mil masonry bits in let's do some drilling
we're going to do three holes each in each brick let's do it three two one
nice come on come on down
oh my God again
foreign
all right
as they whiz through that we're going to put a 10 mil masonry bit in I've
only got one so they got a share one whole each so if they can draw
a 10 mil hole oh this is gonna be fun Black and Decker at first let's do it
um
come not to the boss
right so we all love the drilling but we also love some screwing and in this test I've got three big
screws and ten little screws so first of all we're going to put them up against each other for 10
little screws see which one is quickest and then we're gonna do three big screws Black and Decker
up first let's crack on so the Black and Decker doesn't have a screwing mode so we're going to
put it to torque setting number 10 the highest torque setting they've got if that isn't enough
then I'll turn it up to the drill setting mode 10 should be plenty plenty sir three two one drip
what's up let's drop this one
I could see it there we go
that was harder than I thought it was going to be three two one
buried that one
strings
definitely I'm getting good at this
all right time for three big screws three big screws
oh I'm gonna put it in drill foreign
that one go again oh it's on smoke
the drill is literally starting to smoke can you see that let
me see that it doesn't like that very much should we see how much it smokes thank you
good old brushed motors hey right at least that time the Chuck didn't come
undone or does it melt with itself together Jesus what ow
you know I think I've met with the chocolate so perhaps I've done that too tight this time
that's a shame I like that extension gosh
time is it gonna smoke is it I don't know right send it three two one
oh that's on screwed now I'm gonna be fair and put on drill as well no let's put it into exciting one
ah she is there she is we'll make it fair
in a minute we'll do certain one for the Black and Decker
foreign sending them home
oh yes she is she doesn't stop me she's not getting hot like the other one
nice
right let's just put setting one on the Black and Decker it's only fair
that Bosch Chuck is so much better than this thing now right a little tight setting one
nope
don't take one
I got broken now they're still going around I think the last time I used a black and Deco
I was probably about 13 years old helping my nan hang a curtain rail put a curtain rail up
and I was hoping they'd come on Leaps and Bounds never mind putting second one
it goes back the same two same one goes into thing two same one
goes into saying too I think that noise says that no that's not going to do that
that's the thing to actually get them out get the screws out of the holes ready
uh just just to Chuck oh and I've welded the chuck to hold it in saying one
obviously oh hello no no I'm just gonna give up I'll put it in the Bosch and see
if the boss you can get her out
one
foreign
already I don't know right let's round it up now do you think we should put this up against
something else something a bit more necessary probably powerful in it something that is designed
to do better like all that yeah Milwaukee M12 and you know if you've watched our channel before how
much I love the M12 range so I think it's worth putting them up against each other in another
video so we're going to do that so I think we can honestly see that we've definitely got a
true winner in this test and if I was a diyer or homeowner whatever it might be then yeah I would
definitely consider this because it's nice and simple it's got a nice Chuck on it we've seen it
definitely does the job and the battery slides in and out nice and easily on it and to be fair
as I said at the beginning this battery is part of the power for all Alliance it's called which
means not only will this battery fit Bosch product so it also fits a load of others which I think is
really really interesting so they've created this whole universe of battery products where these
same batteries fit it and there's going to be more products on our channel that this battery is fit
so I'm quite pleased to actually won this test Decker okay if you're only doing light work basic
real basic work then then fine for the sake of saving 40 quid compared to the Bosch you get a
drill that's going to do some basic tasks it's not going to do any heavy stuff and how long
it's going to last who knows it only comes with one battery as well compared to two nice thing
about two batteries is obvious you can charge one while using the other so you've never got
any down time whereas when this runs out you've got to literally stop what you're doing wait for
it to charge back up again so the chuck on it well that's just that's just terrible I think
I should just be written off them and put into a scrap yard never seen again they're on and off the
the speed setting control you can't actually put it in speed one so yeah this one's going to get
sent back hopefully they're not not all like that but let us know in the comments if you've got any
experience with either of these battery products because we want to hear from you let us know in
the bottom or if you want to let us know which machine which tool we should put up against this
one next so I'm going to keep hold of it so we can use it in some other tests and we'll go from
there but thank you very much for watching we are Machinery Nation we hope you enjoyed
it please like share share and subscribe and we'll see you in the next one cheerio
