It’s just random work in and around the house. Some times I needed a more powerful drill driver was when laying bamboo flooring (had to be screwed down) and replacing bargeboards. Projects planned for the future include removing an exterior door and rebuilding the wall, and at some point to build a new kitchen. Occasionally I have some hobby project that requires lighter drilling, e.g. building subwoofers or keyboards, or simple stuff around the house like hanging stuff on the walls or ceiling. We live in a wooden house nowadays so no concrete drilling.
I use ear protection for bigger projects, but if I didn’t have to if I’m just going to do something quick, like installing blinders in a window or hanging a painting. My first drill, a massive corded Bosch, had much less of an ear-piercing sound that the Ryobi that I have now.
