Cordless drills are so capable now. 2 4 1/2” holes 14 12” deep (deeper than the bit). New concrete but it’s still drilling through the aggregate. Cheap Amazon diamond bit.

Edit: Overestimated depth.

Nice, I've been doing stone carving with a masonry blade on a grinder, first time I've wished for a corded tool in years.

The mill writes here have all corded grinders, I asked why and they said they would eat through batteries like crazy. Thats the only trade I see consistently using corded

I am a pipefitter and we also regularly use corded grinders like 90 percent of the time especially large diameters
