DeWalt showed us a product that has been on the market for a while, but which is still pretty impressive in its own right.

The high efficiency motor delivers 425 unit watts at max power to ensure that all drilling and fastening applications are met with plenty of power and speed.

Don’t let its light weight of 4.4 lbs fool you either because it packs enough power to drive 2-1/2†finish nails into almost any material.
Dealing with copper plumbing is a job I love to hate. Not because I don’t understand it. Not because I can’t accomplish the plumbing tasks that I set out to achieve in various projects. No, I hate dealing with copper because it’s unashamedly unpredictable.
