research is a good thing

The last time I used a drill in a library they asked me to leave.

maybe you chose to drill for the wrong thing they encourage drilling for knowledge and information

but no drilling wood you missed the sign

You shouldn't have been using one of those cheap Black & Decker grinder drills. You needed to bring a good quality drill, so that it won't disturb other patrons! Sometimes those Panasonics purr like a tribble, and who can resist that?

I was under the impression that Hilti made good quality tools.

libraries are good and i am glad they are still around internet is good too for finding information on drilling holes

but the best thing is to get some scraps and find your drilling mojo after a while you will start to get the feel for it

are the panasonics really that quiet no idea that panasonic made tools

Not really, but then no cordless drill is that loud unless the clutch engages. Then the Festool wins, the clutch is electronic and it simply sounds a tone and stops drilling when the clutch setting has been reached.

I bought my first Panasonic drill in 1990, IIRC They are top notch drills.

I never said they were quiet, I said they sometimes purr like a Tribble. It's too bad they don't reproduce like, uh wait... forget that thought.

I'm not surprised that you haven't heard of them. They're in the Festool class. ;-)

Give him a day or two. He'll be an expert on all things Panasonic.

top notch from you means near festool but not better

not that long ago i watched that episode it is a classic

it is interesting how many people know what a tribble is

more likely just because i do not spend much time talking about tools or researching them

i like using tools though

I would say absolutely equal in quality, especially back then. But Festool is absolutely more useful with the extra features.
