The “Special Ops” Waterproof Drill/Driver

For our drill teardown we went with models you can find at your local big box. One drill that definitely doesn’t fit that category is the Nemo Special Ops, aimed "professionals working in special operations and the special forces."

The 18-volt drill is submersible up to 100 meters and coated with salt-water-resistant paint. (Beautiful, logo-free black paint, making this the first modern-day drill I’ve seen that doesn’t look "like a pair of basketball sneakers," as Jimmy DiResta put it.) I’ve never seen anyone drill or drive anything underwater, here’s what that looks like:

Impressive looks aside, I’d never heard of this company, and I’ve no idea if this is the actual drill that say, Navy SEALs reach for. Though at $1,720 a pop, that certainly seems like the military prices that a clueless Senator signs off on.
