The Best Drill article doesn't even mention impact drivers, which are going to be tremendously easier on the wrist/hand for screwing in screws. An explanation for the lay audience would help. Nor are questions such as: "How much torque is there? What is the torque curve? How much torque do you need? Do you need a hammer drill? What is the noise like?" addressed. I do think more specialty gear is hard to cover, as for example the the impact driver here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_pCeGmQU8w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_pCeGmQU8w or AvE's youtube coverage of tools goes beyond that. Project Farm tends to have better coverage of general equipment with pretty good objective tests: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2rzsm1Qi6N1X-wuOg_p0Ng https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2rzsm1Qi6N1X-wuOg_p0Ng but even he can't cover all the brands/models: He covered Festool but not Hilti's SF 2H-A Hammer, for example. Techgearlab has pretty unbiased coverage, and they also have an small incentive to cover products that have affiliate programs -- however, for example their parent rock climbing site Crash Pad Coverage: https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/climbing/best-bouldering-crash-pad https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/climbing/best-boulderi... includes Organic pads which have no affiliate program.
