Great video and very informative cos I'm looking for some pliers right now.
A suggestion - some of us dont hear too well, so some subtitling describing the scene such as the name of the tool, the test would be valuable. Also a final page summarizing the tests, held on screen until the close.

You can turn on subtitles by hitting the "cc" button (or c on your keyboard) that YouTube provides
But adding some text on screen with models and values does make sense, I actually did more of than in my latest video on the impacts, will try to continue to do that more in the future.
Has anybody used a REMOTE switch with their driver ?
I have seen a Millwaukee Model that has a Start-Stop wireless switch.
A friend of mine has many drivers and wants to temporarily mount them onto MH equipment and then use a Start-Stop ‘Remote’ to operate them.

Do you have a link to such a thing? I've never seen one...
Also, new video tonight...comparing sixteen different tools at driving lag bolts
I talked to the DeWalt ’product development’ rep and they were looking into the idea.Do you have a link to such a thing? I've never seen one...

Milwaukee has a remote controlled power receptacle that works with Dust Collectors but not a specific control for drivers.

MILWAUKEE® Wireless Dust Control Remote is compatible with our Wireless Dust Control Adapter & Remote Kit. The remote is equipped with an adjustable strap and removable belt clip.

Oh, that's neat. Would be really handy for my portaband on a table...I have a little GE switch thingy that goes on the plug, but having that wireless near me would be more convenient.

At US$120, it's not cheap; and it probably has the same issue as I have with my US$13 Fosmon - needs to be re-paired periodically, even if the power hasn't been out:I talked to the DeWalt ’product development’ rep and they were looking into the idea.

UPDATE: After making this post, I decided to reach out to the Amazon Seller for the Fosmon unit I purchased in March of 2019 (5 years ago) to ask about a replacement since they have a "Limited Lifetime Warranty:" I sent my message via Amazon at 9:42am, received a reply at 10:18am asking for my contact info so they can send a replacement; I didn't see their message until 10:35am, sent them my info at 10:38am and just received (10:45am) their acknowledge meant that a replacement will be on it's way. Granted it's a one-time replacement, but I'm definitely impressed: although Milwaukee has a 3-year warranty on their switch, and I could buy (US$18) a 2-year HD warranty to take it to 5 years total, after 5 years & one month I'd be out of luck.
