Thankfully, it’s just a broken lever. The one to switch drill directions is plastic and worn out. I’m just hoping it holds up a bit after being fixed. Pride strings are coming up, and last year I had a TON of orders for them. ---

I’ve killed a dewalt. I’ve also killed a Milwaukee but it was some old brushed thing. 18v Fuel is a beast. As long as you avoid that one single drill they made that burned like clockwork. They fixed that though from what I’ve seen. ---

I’ve killed multiple power tools from every brand. And which brand has the best and/or most durable definitely changes over time. That said, in recent years Hilti and Milwaukee have generally held up better than most brands in the places I’ve worked. ---

All this being said, since the drill is meant for a string rig I don’t know if something like a Milwaukee 18v is needed haha you might end up spending more for a nicer drill but a worse string making tool. Anything with a battery is probably worse unless you make string away from an outlet. High speed and high torque aren’t needed (and might be worse?) I haven’t made any string myself but it seems to me like the ideal solution would be something with constant speed and torque, most new drills have a variable speed trigger that would introduce an extra variable into the rate of twist. A thrift store older drill without a variable trigger might do you better. ---

Welcome to the party. I noticed the form was still “up” the other day. It’s not really intended for use at this stage. It was from way back when they were doing pre-orders. Then based on that, @G2_Jake added a % of overage and made them up. When they came in - the pre-orders were fulfilled and then @Pun1sh3R started making a list of those like me and you who came to the party late and wanted to try and snag one of the extras. Those were just fulfilled a week or so ago. At this stage - I don’t believe there are any left but Cody could say for sure. I’d say your best hope now is watching the BST. Happy hunting. It’s worth the hunt. ---

Yeah the last few remainders went up on the G2 Patreon 5 days ago. It looks from the comments like there may be a few reds left. Don’t know if you have to be on the Patreon at this stage or not so might just message Jake and confirm.
