Installed couple of windows and a big entry door 116″ X 68″

Installed 9 windows in the last 2 days.
7 in the basement and these 2 monsters 125″ X 60″. Heavy like heck. Didn’t fit through the door so I pulled them up through the openings with ropes.

How would it work with a SDS bit without the proper chuck?!?!?

I just had to take a few pictures , I have never seen a cordless portable strapping machine before , I had to share , especially since it takes Bosch batteries

Industrial usage or garage chores?

15GA or 16 GA would do the job.
I would add a dab of PL also.
