IMHO, bull****.

I used an 18 VDC DeWalt driving a 3" hole saw to cut a hole in the aft
end of the keel for the propshaft tube of the boat I'm building.

Drilled a hole thru 3/4" of epoxy and double bias knitted glass.

By comparison, drilling that same hole thru a piece of hickory is a
piece of cake.

Had to replace the bimetal hole saw, but the drill is still working.

BTW, my corded drill is a 1/2" right angle unit for drilling large holes
with a hole saw.
