Why did we choose the DEWALT DCD996 and the Milwaukee 2804-20? The top two two piece combo kits are the DEWALT DCK299P2 and the Milwaukee 2997-22. They are direct competitors and they both include 5.0Ah batteries and the drills above. The battle is a head to head based on those kits that you can purchase off the shelf and that is the comparable. We did add in the new 6Ah battery for both brands to show full power in demanding situations.
We did not want to test Bluetooth capabilities. If we would have, we would have used the DEWALT DCD997 Cordless Premium Hammerdrill and the Milwaukee One-Key 2806-20 drill. The complications of proving one drill were not running a reduced power was not worth the high-end comparison. Both of the drills tested have the same ability as the more technologically advanced brothers, so if you choose to be more techy, the drills will perform the same as our testing.
There is a lot of destruction and testing well beyond normal use, so get a bag of chips and sit back. Leave us your comments.
I like how you didnt puss out and submerged the whole dang drill and battery, at first I was like oh come on put that battery in the water too, and then you did it lol. I'm a red guy but in performance the dewalt took it. Both great products!
hosts that are not yelling, or trying hard to be very cool guys.. you guys, got my sub. 😊
you mean a very cool gang? ;)
Where are they from?
DUDE guys that get to the point and don’t make you skip through the 1st hour haha
This was one of the best comparisons I've seen. Very fair and honest. Thanks guys. Im honestly surprised at how well the dewalt did.
I bought the dewalt since I've invested heavily into the dewalt line. It works great for what I do. I manage rental units and it has not quit on me.
Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" th-cam.com/users/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.
I'm a Milwaukee guy. I have gen II and gen III hammer drills. 1 of each. I'm a Milwaukee guy through and through but seeing that DeWalt drill being submerged and still running...I'm impressed. Not gonna go buy one by any means but I'm still impressed.
Would you be more impressed knowing that the 996 is a 3 year old drill going up to Milwaukee lastest and greats
The Milwaukee has a sensor in the battery that tells it shut off to keep it safe if water enters that battery. A good tool should shut off in that situation. I'd rather have to wait an hour for it to dry out then have to buy a tool ever three times that happens
willem newhouse a good operator should know not to run it in water. That isn’t the drills job.
J D typical red china owner. You need 2 of their toys. Own DeWalt and only need one.
@@kensfestoolchannel7916 so your saying that you'd rather have the battery short the fuck out? Shit happens man I work on boats and on docks often. Sometimes shit happens. I'd like my tool to be smart enough to make up for my own short comings. Some of us are willing to admit we aren't perfect and want our tools to help us when we screw up. Milwaukee makes tools that help me when need them to most.
Both are great drills. I am a Milwaukee fan, but the Dewalt is superior in spade bits and concrete drilling as you showed. I chose on battery platform and extremely happy with my Milwaukee. Can't go wrong with either. Great test - best review channel out there.
Wow, thank you for the HUGE compliment!
@you donky Don't bet, prove. There are a lot of tool tear down videos out there. Milwaukee tools generally come out as fairly well designed, and robust. Designed for the task at hand. Some have seriously overkill built in, some have some questionable weakpoints.
...Which is just like every other tool manufacturer out there. Makita is one of the very few brands that isn't part of a multiple-brand corporation. They make some great tools, and some that are just really not that great.
Brand loyalty wins you nothing, it really only benefits the people selling you a product.
Wow. It’s refreshing to hear someone that doesn’t think their preference brand is the best at everything....
On thing. De Walt has 3 different sizes of that drill. Small medium and that drill the large one , the middle one is the same size of the Milwaukee
Milwaukee fuel Hammer drill, impact, two 5.0 batts and hard case can be had for $266 at the depot right now! made my mind up
Im a dewalt guy. I've been a dewalt guy about 15 years or so. I remember when i started my electrical career my first day in the job, i was working on a 6ft ladder and my black and decker drill fell from my pouch hit the ground and broke in a thousand pieces. A co-worker( older guy) told me if you're planning to do this kind of work start buying real tools tough tools like dewalt. Ever since I've been buying real tools tough tools Dewalt
I own nothing but dewalt
Dewalt is a made by Stanley-Black n decker the you alway been in the Black n decker camp just leveled up like going from a Chevy to a Gmc
I have that same DeWalt and have had that drill for just under 5 years under the same extreme conditions you guys literally put them through. Still can't retire the damn thing but I have definitely put it on part time. That drill is immortal. Great review
Didnt the dcd996 only come out in 2016? My workmate got a new kit 5 years ago and he has the 995
Mine lasted less than a year.
Super fast and powerful but I'm getting less and less life out of each one I get.
As a low voltage electrician it is the DeWalt DCD996 all day everyday on wood construction. Mostly use 3/4 in augers and paddle bits and 1” 1/4 when needing to pull HDMIs. Not to mention that the old school DeWalt side handle can be orientated in any direction so that you can place it up against the studs so that if it binds on a nail or screw it doesn't break your wrist, not so much with the dirt bike throttle handle from Milwaukee...
Do you understand what the title low-voltage electrician means?
It means having a certification on how to run and successfully terminate fiber optic cabling.
It means knowing how to terminate regular communication cabling in a residential or commercial application.
Radio grade cabling; RG59, RG6 & RG11
Category cabling; CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a, CAT7 & CAT8
Also having certifications including but not limited to NICET & BICSI
You think a regular electrician has a Fluke DSX-8000 (note to self this with all the add-ons is like $20,000) on his or her van to certify the fiber or copper that they just pulled in end-user’s home?
Do I need to go into intercoms, whole house audio, home theater or the Internet of things?
Ask the average electrician to explain to you the difference between Dolby Vision & Atmos Vs. DTS-X IMAX? I wait with baited breath to find out what their answer will be...
How many regular electricians also have licenses to install alarm systems and their home state?
When I show up at a high-rise it is normally to handshakes and when can we buy you lunch because I have just made the electrical Formans day because I have taken a giant burden off of his or her shoulders.
When I show up at an end user’s house after they’ve gotten their FREE installation from the telecommunication company, and the lazy technician has their Internet running in on RG6 from ONT by NID and they are rocking 24Mbps down & 6Mbps up I simply run and certify a CAT5e from their modem to the ONT then they get 53Mbps down & 51Mbps up. Can I tell you how happy they are to get what they pay for monthly. 🤑😉

@@thetruth5210 the company I work for does regular electrical work as well as data.
And 53 Mbs is shit. Anything below 1000 is nothing to be proud of 😂😂
But yes data is fucking annoying.
And obviously the DeWalt is better
@@joshbenton810 I think they're from a 3rd world country cause those are terrible download/upload numbers on cat5 lmao

After the speed bore bit test and dewalt was stalling out Brian says “maybe it’s a user issue.” Jeff looks at him like he’s crazy and without hesitation, “maybe a lumber issue.” Oh man had me rollin 😂😂😂. Great comparison. I too am team red on cordless and couldn’t be happier with my gen3. Keep up the awesome content!
😬 😂😂 😇😇
I work in the hardware department of Home Depot. My unbiased observation is that, we have had substantially more Dewalt power tools returned to the store than Milwaukee, despite sales being almost even.
I work in a tool shop in Australia and we see the exact opposite. I estimate at least 7 out of every 10 repairs and warranties we receive are Milwaukee, the rest is spread across multiple brands.
Not the case here in America my friend. Wish I could say otherwise, but it was the same way at Lowes aswell, just substitute Bosch with milwaukee, Dewalts were always getting brought back.
Hands Down the best review of comparable power tools from two power-house brands. The water test was a bit out there but, I’d like to ask you guys to do more just like this one. Other reviewers including myself could learn a lot watching your format. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Both are great products. I chose Milwaukee mostly because of the batteries that work in ALL of their 18V tools regardless of generation, and I can even use it in my heated jacket with the power source adapter.
Love the comparison. Why can't other shows be as unbiased as this. I watch the others and feel like I'm being treated like an idiot. Keep it up 👍
Thanks Shane

I just bought the M18 MILWAUKEE 2802 and comparing it with another that I have the Brushless 1/2 Makita 18v Dhp485sye, the MILWAUKEE 2802 is louder, the motor whistles, it heats up more,
the battery does not fit at all, the charger seems iron but as a positive point It has a better Chuck, it feels powerful, 5-year warranty, it looks well manufactured.
Between MILWAUKEE and Makita the power seems similar, at the moment I prefer the makita since the motor is quieter, the motor and charger hardly get hot, time will tell if the heating in the
MILWAUKEE is a problem or not.
It has cost me USD$185, winning the makita for USD$12 dollars less.
I hope my comments contribute something positive to your purchases.
Both are great performing, tough drills. Either can do just about any drilling task in due time. If it were me, I'd go Milwaukee because of its much smaller size. It's like having two drills in one. Remove the handle and put a 2ah battery on it, and it's an easy to use compact drill. Put the handle back on and throw an HO 6ah on it, and it's a beast. Great test, guys!
I'm an Ex-DirecTV employee and we used the Milwaukee and it would sometimes stall out going through stucco even on Hammer mode... and another thing is if the Milwaukee drill gets really dirty it'll stopped working and you have to pull the battery out and blow on it like a Nintendo cartridge to get it to work again
The Milwaukee Fuel impact on the other hand was great no real issues besides it stalling out with set screws. I still perfer thr DeWalt XR but both are great honestly
One thing I did notice after watching this video again.
The DeWalt was faster drilling the 1" speed bore holes over 90% of the time. But after the torture tests and submerging them in water, you went back to drilling the 1" holes again. And this time the Milwaukee was making it through the wood faster every single time.
I thought that was interesting and something you boys didn't pick up?
But, when all is said and done, both drills are great tools and work horses to be sure!
If you're team red you stay that way. If you're team yellow there's no reason to switch. Or you can own both, like I do. Lol
Love them both, but also live my Makita (and now my Metabo 36/18 volt) too!
All great money makers.
I love my dewalt dcd 996, it has never failed me or let me down. It’s tough and has been reliable to me.
In addition with the hole cutting exercise when the drill stopped. That's the Dewalts anti kickback feature. It kills power if it senses you rotating or changing angle to much in a high torque situation. A longer handle would help with this.
i have to say this is the best video of testing of these two rivals, much better than VCG
Milwaukee! Everyone but myself uses Dewalt at work. Their tools are going out while mine have been running over six years. I still have the original batteries and the one they bought last year fails.
this is why Im a Dewalt Guy!
thanks for a brutal test and honesty
Like AVE would say, those are not really hammer drills but drills with a vibrator, but I do like my Dewalt.
Agree useless feature only noise gets higher, if you want make holes for concrete you need rotary hammer drill.
LMAO love AVE videos
They’re good for small things like tapcons
I almost liked comment till the DeWalt part 😂
@@Joe-cd1jx
Yea, "Focus you Fak" 🤣
I own both Milwaukee and DeWalt. I have a seamless gutter company and have two 18-volt dewalts that I've had close to 10 years with the same batteries.. we drive thousands of inch and a half long zinc-coated pole barn screws with them every year. One of them I dropped from my tool belt into a full bucket of water years ago and it still works.
Please keep these Extreme Testing videos coming! They're The Best! Thank you for your honest and unbiased review.
Will do!
You buy the same brand you are using right now. Because you have that battery platform. But choosing one of these two for your first one depends on your needs. If I portability and size matters to you, get the RED. If you have a van and drive to your locations, get a YELLOW. Performance wise, it doesn't matter if the difference is up to 10%. You will never race another contractor hole by hole. It all comes down to your experience. An experienced worker will work faster with a slower drill. What does matter is how you feel when you finish your shift. How does your arm feel from holding it upright all day, how does the hard start impact your wrist, how fast does it recharge, how long does it last, ... I work a lot overhead so I use the 2Ah batteries to keep the weight down. They charge to 80% in 15 minutes from empty and run for over 2 hours of usage. For me size, weight and portability matters more than performance. I'm always working indoors, so water ingress is not needed but dust is. I started with Black n Decker back in the days and they served me well (they are still working today), then I went to Bosch because of size and weight. I gave Bosch 3 chances, but nope. They kept breaking down, just bad quality I guess. I really liked Panasonic then, but it got stolen. Now I have Hitachi, the best I have had yet. What matters for you? What are you using it for?
I've always been a Milwaukee and Dewalt fan. I like both and buy both brands. Have over 10 drill assortments from them. I'm happy as a clam with all of them. Can't go wrong with either choice from my opinion.
Dewalt's 996 has been around for years and can match up or beat any new drill on the market today.
.... Dewalt doesn't upgrade tools every year like Milwaukee, they make a tool that will outperform most companies for years. ..
.... Awesome review, love the channel 👍
Joe Framer not sure what your talking about you may want to do some research, the gen 2 drill came out in 2015 and this one 2018
Better use your impact, I'll wait for you to let the smoke out lol
Outperform? lol use a dewalt on site for long enough and you'll change that opinion.
@@spencerwurm123 the 996 come out 4 years ago and still beats the gen 3 Milwaukee
@@chrisjones6165 you watch too much vcg.... there are no other videos in 4 years showing the 887 smoking ever....watch this channel and "skill builder" and " tool box buzz" for their professional opinions
Had all dewalt brushed drills at work, got new Milwaukee drill and impact and within a couple months the Milwaukee's triggers in both went out. They would sometimes go and sometimes not. We treated all the drills like shit. Dewalt rules in longevity in my experience.
i don't know how many times i have to tell these youtube guys that lol
Eric Patterson where I work it’s opposite dewalt last about two week Milwaukee last about 6 months.
Iv herd that before about the dead trigger, oddly enough I have lots of milwaukee tools and work them hard and not one trigger issue!
Excellent review gentlemen. You have just added another red player to the ranks. First time drill buyer. Manual labor has been somewhat of a mystery to me. Thank you for demystifying the process. As with everything I tend to overcompensate - and wanted to get these top of the line drills "just in case". To know there is room for growth is comfort and worth the price. Capital work again, Cheers!
I have the DeWalt 996, as my personal tools at home are yellow. It's a beast. It's kinda heavy and the chuck had Abit of run-out. We use primarily Milwaukee tools at work. They're kinda clunky... Not as comfortable in the hand and the batteries seem loose fitting sometimes. Love the size of that hammer drill, though. I like them both. I think Ridgid is often in that conversation too. Orange is a good buy, with good performance. I think it usually comes down to what batteries you have. If you're interested in yellow, start yellow, you probably won't be disappointed. I seriously hope that Craftsman will put out some more brushless "made in America..." tools and stop using the DeWalt guts of yesteryear.
Drowning drills???...that's a new one on me...I have the dewalt and IT IS A BEAST !!! And it knocked me off of a 6' ladder when it caught a knot and the flexvolt bat popped me in the jaw...almost knocked me out !
Also I stand 6'-7" not far to fall...for me.
Lots utility and excavation guys use these tools in water in "the hole" and want to know durability.
I wanted to go Red, but I went w/ Dewalt with the flexvolt line bc they have POWER. Was able to scoop Hammer Drill, Driver, Saw, charger and battery for ab $299. I would have have to spend over 100 more if I went Red. Used for over a year, freaking love them.
I've used both was team yellow to start I'm a mechanic and have found milwaukee a better choice for my field and dewalt better on the construction side.
Jason Mead Im with ya man. Have a drawer filled with Milwaukee impacts and ratchets
As a full time carpenter I do both, frame ocasionaly and finish carpentry including assembling kitchens and all.
Went with Milwaukee and no regrets, their surge (hydraulic impact) is a gem with no other like it. Especially when you’re screwing cabinets together, and your head is in one of them with that same impact. Also I’ve noticed it’s way easier on screws, meaning if does not snap heads like anvil type impacts do when you drive Long screws into hardwoods especially.
Also the 7.25 skilsaw can go on one 12AH battery all day. While my buddy had his dewalt 60v (feels slightly more powerful) but also heavier with its 6.0AH bat, and he swapping his batteries every hour of two. Cause that 6.0AH is actually just a 2.0AH in 60v mode.
But then again everyone opinions are different. Milwaukee works best for me in my case, someone else with swear by dewalt, and that’s great. As long as ure happy.
Hey there are also many “internet professionals” that swear by ryobi.....
The ridgid hydraulic impact is MUCH quieter. And that’s coming from another Milwaukee guy
Realtree Romeo
Agreed, I wouldn’t say a whole lot though cause most sound that’s made is in the screw squeezing while going in to the wood anyways. And it’s way larger and not as ergonomic in comparison. Also when paired with a small 2.0 battery it feels like the m12 in your hand
So I pick smaller head to get into tighter spaces vs slightly quieter.
You’re right about sound though
Maybe your buddy should buy a 9.0ah flexvolt bat
P
Thanks for such an informative video. I really like the way you host, you're not yelling and creating an artificial optimism mood, thumbs up, greatings from Poland and keep drilling safe! God bless you!
I only bought Dewalt for years until I had chuk issues on several drils that Dewalt would not do anything about. I switched to Milwaukee and havent looked back. I appreciate the tests but the minor differences in these test mean nothing. The 18 volt line rocks with milwaukee. In that last test with the spade bits the Milwaukee was beating the Dewalt every time.
That test after the water? The Dewalt must have got water or soap in the V. S. trigger and was not running at its top.
@@WorkshopAddict Ok, yeah maybe. That was a crazy test.
@@wd8786 The water screwed things up short term. They were both working fine last night, including the batteries.
Man, I miss these kind of videos!!!
It is hard to do them in the winter....
I use DeWalt, I think its just because it was the first higher-end company that i had batteries for so there was no point in buying from another company. I think the DeWalt has an auto shutoff in order to not ruin or stress the motor, thats probably why it stalled on the big Forstner bit test. Great vid!
Milwaukee has an auto shut off also but didn't stall on the forstner bit test.
Yeah the new PowerDetect one should be better and not shutoff.
Excellent test fellas, definitely one of the better tests I've seen with these drills. It was definitely a close test, I dont even know who to choose as the winner. In my opinion, they are both winners, they took a beating and kept on ticking. No one would go to those extremes with these tools, so it really shows the durability of both tools. Excellent job as always fellas, and thanks for taking the time for the video!!
Thanks William
Yeah the main conclusion I draw from this is that there's not much in it - so if you have M18 kit, get the M18 drill, if you have XR kit, get the XR drill... if you have neither, get whichever is cheapest
Actually Milwaukee does ship with a 6.0 battery it is a deal in a packout case with the drill impact driver hackzall 1 5.0 bat and 1 6.0 bat.
Great test guys cant wait to see what's next
Awesome, Did not know that!
One of the best torture test. Thanks Brian and company for the job well done
Thank you!
I own both of these. I have more Milwaukee stuff in my toolbox, but honestly I think Dewalt's drill here is one of the best high torque drills available right now. Milwaukee tried to go smaller with their drill and I think that was a bad idea, they should have made a bigger and more powerful 3 speed drill for the benefit of steel workers and metal fabricators. Hilti has a 4 speed one, but it's on a brushed motor and just doesn't have the freakish power that these brushless units have.
Another well rounded, thoughtful, in depth review. You guys are the best
Thanks CTK
I have had Makita, Milwaukee and Dewalt. Got the dcd991 don’t need a hammer drill. That drill is a beast at drilling through 2x4 do it all day long running electrical.
Good review can’t really go wrong with yellow or red.
👍!
I would have ASSUMED that the Dewalt would have been 3x better than the Milwaukee, great job, thanks!
Just receive the 2999-22 tool combo kit , can’t wait to try the drill and the surge as well , great video !!🤘
Green-eyed over here with a DCF888, surge is awesome!
I have to wear ear protection when I'm using it, but I can turn the work light on and off with my phone...🙄
I have dewalt because of my father and I thought we could share batteries. I now have more batteries than he does! Don’t get me wrong Milwaukee is great I even have some of the m12 line and the PackOut system. It’s all about what batteries you buy.
While this is not perfect due to size, it will allow you to use Dewalt batteries on Milwaukee tools. amzn.to/3a4rrRA
Yesterday i bought dcd996 ,is amazing . I love dewalt !
My experience is dewalt makes better drill while milwaukee makes better impact driver. This is one of the most amazing test.
13:41 As mentioned, it seems like the Milwaukee is quieter than the Dewalt. This may not be important on a job site, but it's important to me for home repair and hobbyist activity.
Outstanding gents! Now that's what I call running the tools through the wringer.
Man I was worried when I left my Dewalts outside in the rain one night, was surprised that it still worked fine the next day. After seeing what you've done I might leave it out in the rain more now lol.
Higher exterior temp of the battery could be showing that a battery case is better at expelling heat away from the cells, so could actually be a positive thing rather than just meaning the battery is hotter.
I own both of these tools and always wondered which was truly better. 🤔 thankfully you guys have showed me and I don't have to dunk my drills into a 5 gallon bucket!🤣 Liked and subscribed!
The dewalt's clutch wasn't set squarely on the drill icon, you can also see it when you were doing the spade bit race. The electronic clutch was activating.
As an electrician I would take the milwaukee for drilling holes sure the dewalt is faster but the second you come to those joist it dosent fit in you have lost all the speed you gained on the other holes
my1little2pony good comment. I’m a Electrican too i need the compact drill to get in tight spaces sometimes. I don’t want a huge ass drill
I like Milwaukee
Great test as usual Brian and Jeff ,but for me it's the Milwaukee. I can't stand the yellow. Second choice would be Makita
travis kleinsasser I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that you don’t use the side handle then?!? Because I used Dewalt and if I wasn’t using DeWalt I’d be using Metabo, their side handle can be put in any direction unlike Milwaukee or Makita.
@@thetruth5210 I don't care about the side handle I'm talking about default tools in general don't like them
Had problems with my dewalt sold all my dewalt brushless tools and went to makita and milwaukee.
I have had dewalt cordless drills for 25 years never had a problem with them, I still use the older 12v style there comfortable to use especially the older pistol grip. Batteries are harder to get and expensive, so it is time to move into the newer drills
After the water bath the Milwaukee seemed to be consistently faster with the spade bit. The Milwaukee is a hell of a drill and punches against drills twice its size.
Thank you for noticing that it was only faster after the bath!
What I don’t like with the milwaukee tools is the temperature. The line up is really big, but they seem to run quite a lot hotter compared to dewalts and others. The temperature difference on the impact drivers is around 40 degrees as well which is a lot.
Yes th dewalt has a higher temperature on the batteries but that is where the majority of protection circuits is anyway. I’d rather have a higher temperature on the batteries than on the drill itself where it can actually harm the electronics.
Depending on the trades but as a carpenter (I'm not talking plumber and electricians Wich need to make more holes) and having almost all top tiers tools on the jobs I have to say the one always out of the shelf is the Milwaukee (the smaller size for us beats the power when you have to have that thing strapped to you all day)
Yeah I use my impact more than my drill, so it's no problem having the large drill
Now this is a great and professional tool comparison video! Not like the V clowns of the other channel! :)
Really enjoyed the video. I have both yellow and red, so it was great from that standpoint!
Thanks Marty!
Hi guys,
Great video, I thought it was very honest and fair. I have always been a fan of Makita, my last twin set lasted me over 10 years! When it finally came to choose new set I went for a Milwaukee twin set. After using them almost evey day for 10 months , the impact driver had this intermittent fault where it would just stop and wouldn't work. The percussion drill was fine until last week when I was drilling half a dozen holes into brickwork, when all of a sudden smoke stared pouring out of the vents. They have both been sent away to be fixed by Milwaukee as they are still under warranty. I have to say I am very disappointed that they have both let me down! I'm hoping once fixed or replaced they down let me down again. Maybe I've had a bad batch or something? I hope it is an isolated incident as I do like the design and how they feel.
We are seeing a lot of this in the comments on many Milwaukee videos. They must have had a bad batch of parts come through.
I chose Milwaukee due to the huge selection of tools. They literally have everything.
No track saw...
One could probably chuck BOTH of those drills over the Cliffs of Dover and both would probably still work...as well as being a GREAT guitar instrumental " Cliffs of Dover " by Eric Johnston, give it a listen!
18:30 If the guy with the Milwaukee stopped waiting on the Dewalt it would be no contest. :P
Honestly couldn't believe you guys ran them in a bucket of water lol.
I picked up the milwaukee with 2 6.0 batteries at Home depot for $299 on a father's day promo. I like the compact size of it for drilling in tight spots like on a vehicle. The side handle seems a little flexy when using a 3" power planter earth auger compared to my old 8A corded milwaukee. Happy overall so far.
The dewalt because of the three speeds and they're pretty much equal so you always go by looks if everything is pretty much equal the dewalt looks nicer that yellow and black scheme is har to beat
Lou Cifer red and black
YELLOW AND BLACK ATTACK !
Looks like a toy
RS/AE at least it doesn’t work like a toy like your red china 🇨🇳
I used to have DEWALT.i switch to Milwaukee be a lot more tools .great video I enjoy watching your channel
Chad Melerine Same Here !
I went back to Dewalt because they have the superior ergonomics, for me comfort is everything.
I love my Milwaukee 1/2 inch hammer drill my dad has the dewalt it’s failed him multiple times and he asked to borrow my Milwaukee drill and says this thing is a beast
Yes, you do need the bigger handle. I have had the DeWalt 996 for a while now, and drilling with 110mm hole saw the drill wants to rip your hand off. The short handle helps, but its not enough.
Dcd998 handle is much better!
@@WorkshopAddict Ah... it's not available here in Europe yet :(
Nice comparison. You certainly didn't hold back on the abuse tests. They came out so close that I would just stick to the paltform I was already in. Some feedback you can take for what it's worth. For my use, the water test was a bit excessive and made all tests that folowed a little suspect. I would simulate an accidental drop in the water, recover the tool quickly and dry it out before using, since that's what usually happens on the jobsite. I would also add a drop test from a one story and two story roof, since that happens fairly often as well. My Dewalt tools have surviived a couple two story drops onto a lawn. Haven't tried them on concrete yet.
Damn that little Milwaukee did good against the larger DeWalt!
at half the size it did damn well !
I’ve had both drills (right now have red) miss the dewalt but love the compactness of the red
Very interesting and enjoyable review. Thanks for sharing. I have a DeWalt and a Makita drill and I prefer the way that the Makits drill feels in my hand but the Makita batteries do not have any longevity - they go dead just sitting while the DeWalt batteries do not.
Am I the only one that noticed that the Milwaukie won the half inch spade bit drilling at the end....... every time
Good video guys
After the water test, you are right it did. The V.S. Trigger on the Dewalt was not happy.
I have most of my tools with the red team because I was told by my coworkers, which, by the way, teach me to work, they are the best...
But lately I have couple yellow team tools that impressed me a lot.
Good job guys, I was worried you could burned your arms while immersing the batteries in water while running your tools with that amperage
To update... I have one 996 Dewalt, but just for the heck out of it, I just ordered another one for 99$ .
Well, honestly guys, because of you I bought the Hitachi, to have it at home. Also a good buy.
Keep with it, any merchandise from you guys???
We do not have anything at this point, but we are thinking of doing something fun. Thank you for your support and know we are working on it.
I say regardless if you got a ryobi or black & Decker, if it makes you money and the product doesn't die on the work job, then That's the tool for you. I have owned and used ryobi impact, screw guns, sawzaw, circular saws, miter saw. None of them ever broke down on the job, always dependable. I made thousands upon thousands using those cheap tools. Why would I spend hundred more on tools? To make the job go 2 seconds faster? Doesn't make a difference if the tool works quicker, if how the operator uses the tool period.
Both drill preformed extremely well. To me I would go with who had the better warranty. I think how a company handles a warranty claim is just as important as how well the product preforms. You can have a rock solid tool but if it fails and the manufacture won't look after the tool then they are not good. Tools are so damn expensive as it is.
Yellow = 3 years, Red = 5 years, on the tools themselves.
Decided to step away from porter cable due to lack of diversity of tools, especially compared to almost every other brand. Shows me SBD doesn’t care about that brand. It hurt too because I have several batteries as well as most of the, unimpressive, lineup. I’ve been trying to decide on either Ridgid, Milwaukee or Dewalt and decided on Milwaukee. I hope I didn’t make the wrong choice!
Sweet I've ordered from JCCayer before. Awesome vid as always boys!
Thanks TSG!
Have the dewalt. Love the 3 speeds and the LED light 👍
I have a DCD996 too, DCD996 is perfect.
Milwaukee is better
@@joshuacruz4046 I don't think.
I think the longer hander is just adjusting angle.. while the short handle is pushing it down as well. .. when you will push ddown with the longer handle that will tilt the drill while with shorter handle it will not tilt but will push it down
I chose milwaukee because their tool line-up better fit my needs. M12 battery ratchet was my first milwaukee tool. If I did more carpentry than dewalt would have been my platform of choice but for mechanics and metalworking I prefer milwaukee's line-up.
The Gen two Milwaukee is the best in my opinion. The 18 volt and steel gears are hands down the way to go.
We just do not like the Gen 2 auxiliary handle. We broke 3 of them so far. The case will chip where the handle connects.

I’ve never used those things. I have three of them in the bottom of my tool chest. If it’s a job the requires a handle I’ll break out my bulldog and get it done twice as fast.
Makes sense!
The gears are different from gen2 to gen3?
Guys , make an RPM test with laser gadget on drills and grinders and you will be surprised .
Awesome! It's good to know that I can repair my boat under water with either one of these, lol. That was an interesting test, both great tools but I like the Milwaukee!
You can if you are fast! LOL
There was a truly awesome test review, thanks for the video guys
Good tests. I have the dewalt drill and it can be a wrist breaker with a 13mm bit in steel. I also use it quite often with 51mm holesaws in steel too. I have been using this brand for almost 20 years and have every handle that they came with is still in pristine condition. It’s all about the one handed operation. The over torque cutout is excellent on the newer models.
It might have been helpful to compare the weight of the tools with the batteries attached, I didn't see that in the review. The Milwaukee batteries have a built-in battery strength and charge meter, which I find extremely handy. What about the DeWalt, do their batteries have the same or similar for checking battery strength as you work, or when you go to use a battery that has been sitting around unused for awhile?
I used to work in construction trades, drilling a lot of holes in, or even straight through, masonry and poured concrete for running and anchoring conduit and sleeving. Now I am just a do-it-yourself weekend warrior, with various Home Improvement projects, deck refurbishing, and the like. Some of my cordless tools and batteries might sit unused for a month or two, and then I pick them up and use them for a whole weekend. The Milwaukee batteries seem to hold a full charge, or nearly so, inbetween months of disuse. It would have been helpful to see how the DeWalt batteries fare in that type of intermittent usage. By the way, I've never dumped or dropped my tools in water, however, I *have* dropped them off a ladder many many times!. You should try that test with the Milwaukee and DeWalt tools. Dropping them from a height of 6 to 10 ft, repeatedly, landing on wood or other even harder surfaces such as asphalt and concrete, with a drive bit holder or drill already in the chuck. See if the chuck stays true, without wobble, and still operates smoothly after you have dropped it on the drill bit with sufficient force to bend the bit. Now that's what I would call a real world test!
I had dewalt for ages and the chucks are always the first thing to go, I like that the milwaukee ie more compact but still stands up to the dewalt, so I'm switching my kit to milwaukee and see how it holds up.
Let us know how the switch goes!
Matt Watkins Milwaukee is better they have the best impact hands down I don’t what happened here with this video
Dewalt did not appear faster in the end, check the footage
You are right, after we dunked them in water and had VS trigger issues, the Dewalt slowed. But it is back to normal after being dried.
At least it didn’t stop like red china
Now use the DeWalt XR hammer drill with “power detect” and an 8AH battery, it will BLOW the Milwaukee away. It has a longer, metal handle than the DeWalt that you guys used, and is MUCH stronger.
Is it the 999 flex volt you are talking about?
@@lovemsong no. I forget the model. But it is not the flex copy. It is the Power detect. :)
I have one of the DeWalt drill and it is the best my own drops in a pool and its still work today
They're both great! Either one is a win!
