We’ve been in business since 2008 covering tools, writing reviews, and reporting on industry news in the construction, automotive, and lawn care industries. Our Pro reviewers work in the trades and have the skills and experience to know whether tools can perform well in the field.

We drive ledger screws into glued-up laters of OSB and measure the maximum RPM with all of the threads engaged in the final inch of driving. Better drills have higher RPMs while under this moderate load.
