That's why you pre-drill, homie.
Not a pro but haven't found a reason to not buy Makita. I have to be paranoid tho because my Makita tools seem to get stolen more than others.
Most hardwood will burn out standard HSS drills anyway. I use solid carbide which are heat proof.
you gonna drive screws with that
btw rayn if ur screwing into soft woods or pre-drilled pilot holes you might even get away with this, which is just a fuckin pleasure cuz its so lightweight. 66ft-lbs max torque
