Bosch Daredevil Spade Bit Set & Ridgid Octane Brushless 18V Hammer Drill/Driver | Tool Review
This post is sponsored by The Home Depot.
We all love a good sharp bit. The 19PC Bosch Daredevil Spade Bit Set is up to 10x faster than conventional spade bits. It's full thread tip grabs the wood and pulls the bit through wood with less effort and vibration, which leads to drilling holes easier and faster. It also has reduced bit jamming with the contoured paddle design and better hold entry with exclusive spur and reamer tips. You might have noticed the odd shape of these when first seeing them, that's why.
In this jackpot of a spade bit kit, you get two 1/4 in., two 5/16 in., one 3/8 in., one 7/16 in., one 1/2 in., one 9/16 in., one 5/8 in., one 11/16 in., one 3/4 in., one 13/16 in., one 7/8 in., one 15/16 in., one 1 in., one 1-1/8 in., one 1-1/4 in., one 1-3/8 in., one 1-1/2 in. plus pouch. All for $19.88! If you are a plumber or electrician, or really anyone that uses these a bunch, this is defiantly a bang for your buck.
These spade bits can literally cut through wood like butter. It's so so satisfying, especially when you're drilling numerous holes throughout the day.
If you are someone that wants to drill holes easier, faster and have better quality, these are most definitely for you. Especially if you are an electrician, you should definitely have these in your kit. These will stay just a strong and last you for a really long time. And don't forget about the pouch that the spade bits come in, so you always have each size with you at all times.
Paired with these awesome spade bits, we used the RIDGID 18-Volt OCTANE Cordless Brushless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill/Driver. We all love a good drill am I right? But don't you know you would love the "best-in-class" in power and intelligence. The RIDGID 18-Volt OCTANE Cordless Brushless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill/Driver is now part of the Woodbrew collection. There are so many things to love about this hammer drill/driver that we are going to hop right into it.
Octane + brushless, you can't get a better combo than that in a power tool. The octane provides more power in high demand applications when paired with OCTANE Battery (sold separately), 65% more to be exact. If you aren't familiar with octane tools paired with octane batteries, it means that when the tool is under a heavy load, it will talk with the octane battery, which then the battery will give maximum power to get through a job. When the tool is not under a heavy load, the tool and battery still talk to each other so the battery is only giving the tool the right about of power needed. This increases battery life and extends the life of the tool. This hammer drill/driver is the industry's leading with 1,300 in. -lbs. of torque. That's bonkers. The brushless motor technology delivers up to 50% more runtime and longer motor life.
We used the drill with the spade bits and also with normal drill bits, it worked so well with both!
The RIDGID 18-Volt OCTANE Cordless Brushless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill/Driver has a Micro Clutch with over 100 settings for dialing in to the perfect application and torque setting.
A really awesome feature about this tool is how you can change the setting on the side from drilling to driving or hammering. So it can be an everyday drill/driver if you want it to be, while also be able to do a hammering job when you need it to.
The chuck light is like no other I have seen. It's so sleek and modern it makes you feel like you're holding something from the future.
Since it is 18V, it is a part of the 18V tool series that is compatible with any RIDGID 18V battery. You could use a 3 Ah, 6 Ah, 9 Ah, we recommend any Octane battery so you get the most out of your tool.
When you register this tool, it is backed by the industry's lifetime service agreement. If your drill breaks, you can get free parts and free service for life.
The Hammer Drill/Driver also comes with a detachable, no tool needed, auxiliary handle that is super easy to take on and off the tool.
We have been so satisfied with all of our Ridgid power tools and are so excited to now have this one part of the collection. We highly recommend this Hammer Drill/Driver and any of the RIDGID Octane power tools.
