Tools George has used

These qualitative observations were shared by his family on October 5, 2026. Usage dates, full material details and measured performance are still to be confirmed.

• DeWalt DCD791 drill: George liked the comfortable grip and control while assembling shelves and drilling into wood. He wanted more light in tight cabinet spaces.
• Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2804-20 hammer drill: He liked its power for heavier drilling, but found it tiring to hold overhead during longer jobs.
• Makita XDT16Z impact driver: He liked its compact size for driving screws in tight spaces. The different speed settings took practice, especially with small screws.

These notes describe his experience, rather than a controlled comparison. Battery runtime and other performance measurements have not been supplied.
