Morning all

What ways do people drill out there timbers? I have started using an impact driver but its very noisy!!

My makita combi drills are ok but dont like doing it for long until they heat up.....
Yes i melted the brush holder on mine doing that, the trick is to put it in first gear meaning the motor and fan are going a lot quicker.
Or get a brushless drill, they don't have the brushes to overheat. But still use 1st gear.
As above an impact driver is not for drilling, only for screwing. Also re the noise thing, use ear protection, you only get one set of ears
 
An impact driver is designed for a specific task...it does that job well.
The words "impact" and "driver" are clues!
 
An impact driver doesn’t know the difference between a 10 x 2 wood screw and a Bosch flat bit with screw going into a joist - they don’t got no brains!
Ear protection is the answer and an apology to those around for the next 3 minutes of ugly noise!
