An good example of this is the cordless lithium ion drills. Use it for light small bit drilling in wood or as a drill driver with shallow screws in wood and the battery lasts a long time. Switch to hammer drill mode and try driving a 1/2” masonary bit into concrete and the battery life is...

This whole survey by Firehouse has been flawed and deceptive from day one.
