just max cut depth at various angles really. more common roof angles like 35 22.5 17.5
 
Well first off!  Silly me I should of opened the Protool chain box!  As its in a Oregon bag  Warren (BUNNY BOLTS) told me lol!

Well he called me first thing this morning! Which is very good!  He said I had two options! One sends me a new systainer first then has the hold picked up or has the old picked up 2moro and sends a new one right away but ill be with out a systainer for a bit.  but I found out on the Protool web site that they do a 18V Dura Drive so I asked if I could have the  12V Dura Drive sent back in the systainer and have the 18V Dura drive instead and he said no problem.

So really pleased that the problem was solved quickly!

Just this second got another call of Warren  (BUNNY BOLTS)!!  He has ordered the 18V so should hopefully get that weeks time!  He did mention the 18V had a lower RPM  2500 and the 12V is 4000RPM.    2500RPM is better for driving in wood screws. 

Does any one know the benefits of having one at 4000RPM and the other at 2500RPM  I know the lower RPM will have a trogue increase put also it being 18V would of increased the torgue so why lower the rpm?!?!?

low torque high speed is whats needed for drywall screws typically into metal stud work where as i would say the 18v is a tek gun which require higher torque but lower speed
 
I would guess the higher rpm is to overcome the lower torque of the 12v unit

I kinda thought the higher speed was for metal!   Which is good to hear as I am having the 12v 4000 RPM swapped for the 18V 2500 RPM for about 50 quid more should be coming weeks time and I dont work with alot of metal stud.   Just wondered why they lowered it as its the same drill or should I say its made for fixing plasterboard  to studing.     I mainly fix plasterboard to ply and 4x2 softwood some times oak! When its an old house with oak floor beams. Which the 18V should do better.

Yeah but increasing RPM decreases torque ?! no?!  So you increase the rpm to overcome lower torque but then your lowering the torque doing so lol you will end up with so much rpm with no torque no?!

So making the decision getting the 18V is the right thing to do right?!?!?!  Will this still screw into metal?! I only done about 10 meters of metal stud in my lift! So you see I dont use it much! It went round two corners the metal stud! We then fixed it with ply first to make it more solid and for fixing units so the platerboard just could be screwed any where ofcorse.

to be honest i would look at the weight differance but only because it is for boarding and my shoulders are buggered
