Lol, just watched the Making Stuff & Breaking Stuff video right before this. I was thinking to myself what is this guy talking about saying the tool starts at 36v then going to 18v. Enjoyed the video, thanks for putting the time and effort into it.
I just found this channel the other day - really digging it. Keep up the great work. I like seeing the Makita and HiKoki (Metabo HPT here in the US) lines getting the attention they deserve. I wish they had the variety of colors available outside of Japan too.
You will have to watch the flex somewhere else I'm afraid. They are only available in the states so most of the world doesn't care. And I'm not going to the expense of importing them when every tool reviewer in America has already shown off their free set.
Well, most reviews demonstrate the Flex being on the upper end for power, but will more than likely overheat in very quick order. Whereas TTC demonstrated that the state bound XGT is a lower power unit (and Project Farm demonstrated that it still has more than enough power to snap 1/4” hex adapters like glass), that will keep going for quite a long time. Plus, a few channels have demonstrated that Makita’s got a good range.
I bought this impact recently because of seeing this video a few months ago. It's very impressive, very comfortable and powerful It's very smooth. Until now, I've only had m12 & m18 impacts, and they're so beat up and ragged looking, peeling, etc. It's nice to have a shiny new screw gun. I tried taking my lug nuts off with it and they just zipped right off in a second. And I built a deck extension(and resurfacing)So far, the biggest screws I've driven are 6in GRK "lag alternatives" plus a whole lot of 3.125" & 2.5" GRK #10s, and a few hundred composite deck screws. It handled everything very well. The grease is could be from running it hard for a prolonged period after it's been sitting in a box for a year, after it was manufactured. A downside is there's no compact batteries. If they could make a 1.5ah that was half as thick, I'd use them on this tool for sure. Impact drivers should not have such big batteries hanging off them. Also, these batteries have no rubber coating on them. It makes them look cheap. I might spray plasti-dip on them so I can stand this up safely.
Hikoki used to be the best quality power tools on the market , Made in Japan. Don't know what is happened why grease leakage. I am still happy with my old Makita, being few years now still good.
don't worry about the grease mate mine came out of my old impact when I got it which must be about 8 years old and she still goes. of course when I got it I did do batten screws and coach screws with a pre drilled hole but honestly these days I find it even better than any impact driver to use an impact wrench with a driver bit adapter.
The oil coming out of the collet happened to my workmates brand new gen 2 triple hammer impact. Hikoki couldn't fix it and reolaced the impact. Seems like they haven't fixed it.
The Dewalt does it because they put 3x the amount of grease needed and they make it so when it heats up for the first 3-4-5 times it melts to lube the inside of the chuck as well- plus it gets very hot.
There’s a Hikoki picture showing the triple hammer missing (for wont of a better word) a strike in “power mode” and showing 1.5 hits (I’m wording this badly 😂) - that might be what you can feel changing in use. I’ll see if I kept the screen shot if your interested.
Watching the torque test channel the sound change is the hammer skipping the anvil and hitting the top of it instead of the side like it should. They found it to put a forward force in the chuck and bend the screws also.
No. Metabo and hikoki make completely different lines of tools even if they are owned by the same company. Hikoki was never made in Germany it is a Japanese brand.
Another great video dude👌. Makita vs Hikoki is sort of like Toyota vs Nissan. Both well built just comes down to what you prefer. Ill stick to my makita 40v absolutely love it!
The Makita DTD172. Hasn't come out in NZ yet, but shouldn't be too far away. I've got heaps of impact driver vids on this channel and my other channel.
I personally think the standard double hammer has better force because the hammer is travelling further with more rotation speed rather than the triple hammer as it travels less with less hammer speed and I don’t see any extra NM force to compensate the less rotation, and why is it whenever I watch your vids I always go and play with my tools !!!! bahahahaha.
I think you've discovered a very serious issue. Based on your observations of the triple hammer warping screws and slowing down, I suspect the hammering frequency has no randomness designed in its mechanical action. What you are seeing are destructive harmonics. The frequency of the hammering is too close to the natural resonant frequency of the impact internals and that screw that you warped in a previous video.
You can actually see it happening in this video too, but to a lesser extent due to using steel instead of stainless like the previous video you speak of. Hopefully one day when I have more time I will make a video delving into the issue.
Thanks for the review of the WH36DC. Have you found any of the issues with twisting the heads of the screws with the DC as you did with the the DB- 2nd Gen? Have you seen Torque Test Channel's "High-Speed Video Uncovers Weird Stuff In Popular Impact Driver" for a possible explanation for why this occurs with the DB? He uses some of your footage from your "DeWalt VS HiKOKI VS Makita VS Milwaukee | 4 Top Impact Drivers POWER TESTS".
The following is the quote from wh36dc manual: The Tightening mode switches between 5 different modes each time the Tightening mode selector switch is pressed. Upon pulling the trigger switch in bolt single mode, the driver will automatically stop after applying a number of impacts. Soft / power / bolt and self drilling screw mode will commence impact upon pulling the trigger switch and will continuously apply impact without auto-stopping. Soft mode is a mode that does not infl ict damage on thin nails or decorative materials. Power mode can be used for normal work up to heavy load work. Bolt mode has a short pull margin for the trigger switch, making the driver ideal for high-speed tightening work. Bolt single mode controls the impact, allowing control of the tightening force. Use this mode for delicate work such as tightening bolts for racks, fences, furniture, etc. Self drilling screw mode is ideal for tightening self drilling screws by reducing the chances of overtightening that could result in severing the screw head, breaking the screw, or slippage. NOTE ○ The appropriate mode differs depending on the screw and the material being screwed. Drive in a few test screws and adjust the mode setting accordingly. ○ The tightening mode selector switch can only be set after the battery has been installed in the driver and the trigger switch has been pulled once.
The DC finally hit the states, so I had to come back to this video to figure out whether it would be worth picking up soon. Alas, I think it's a further down the road purchase, simply because I don't think it'll handle steel stud framing as well as the GDT01.
I just bought a TD002G from japan, and got a 40V 4.0AH battery for $150 from overstock! I was going to get the 2.5AH but it was $140, so i went with the 4.0. Why are makita 40V batteries and chargers so damn expensive?!?!
It seems like this one grew on you based on later videos, I was wondering if you had to buy into a system based on the impact would you take this and the Hikoki multi volt or the Makita 171 and lxt? Both seem good but I don’t know as much about hikoki long term and the lxt has a lot of questions about further development… Thanks for all the vids!
Tricky one. But I would still go 171 LXT I reckon, unless you want a 1/2 inch router or framing nailer. Hikoki will take at least another 5 years to get anywhere near the range that Makita has. And they are still pumping out new lxt stuff. 2 new chainsaws just released a couple of days ago.
18v triple hammer - can have small pack - which makes it really nice to hold. On paper - basically the same spec as 36v triple hammer - be interested for you to compare them
TTC tested them, and the results were that they were totally interchangible performance wise. So, the question becomes, do you spend more and get the bigger batteries out the gate but lose out on the small batts (which I don't really find a difference when using them, personally), or do you save the money and get an impact that can accept all the batteries? I chose bigger batts.
There are no slim pack batteries for 36/40V tools, because they need 10 cells to get that voltage. If the tool is 36/40V, it’s going to need either a double stack battery, or a very long battery pack (I.e. the Hart 40V system of outdoor power equipment)
I have an idea for testing new 40v it's gonna be real fun), makita had made the adapter for the oldest 36v tools before they realised 18+18v to use two batteries 18v to the 36v tool, so if you adapt it to new 40v ))))
The old triple hammer had better settings! How could Hikoki think just soft and power mode would be sufficient? The lack of the normal mode really sucks on this impact.
Hey man love your channel just wondering why you don't seem to like milwaukee very much, I'm not critised just interested that's all Thanks and keep it up you have the best 40v coverage on this platform really have me consider getting some
Commenting from the US where we still don’t have this tool. Looking to buy internationally but I want to make sure: does a WH18DC exist? That way I can use my compact 18v batteries? Or is it true that the new model was only made for 36/Multivolt platform? Appreciate any response I get, that means you random comments reader who knows the answer! Thanks all
@@adamfehr1994 same here i dont need all these crazy modes. With experience you can jus control everything with the trigger. Either way makita jus an amazing impact with the feel and smoothness and all. Ended driving some lags with my coworkers Milwaukee today and even tho it was faster i jus didnt like it nearly as much and i hate the handle on the Milwaukee its bulky
My least favourite part about Milwaukee is their triggers, they’re pretty much either half or full, with the Makita I can do drywall if I want because the triggers so soft I can feel what it’s doing. After being a Milwaukee guy for several years, it’s going to take quite a bit for me to go back. Only thing Milwaukee has is power and nothing else, I don’t think impact drivers have to get anymore powerful, there’s a point where you’d just use an impact wrench🤷🏼♂️
Nice tools but it’s annoying that here in the US they brand as Metabo HPT. Should have went with Hikoki or even just HPT. Then again I’m a Makita guy so what do I know.
Metabo is a completely different line of tools. Metabo HPT is only used in the US. Everywhere else on earth they are called hikoki. Metabo tools are still a separate brand name and completely different tools even though the company is owned by Hitachi Koki.
It's interesting that your Gen 2 doesn't have the "Made in China" on the label. On the Metabo HPT branded version for USA markets, it has Made in China on the very bottom left side of the label. They look identical, yours just has a blank space where it would be.
His was made inside of a blank void in the shipping container out on the open sea. They were running behind on the shipment and had to send an assembly worker along with a few pallets of impact driver parts. He managed to make 4,799 impact drivers before he was shot and killed by somali pirates.
@@robertrada4783 That definitely explains it! Or I suspect the real reason, in the USA you are required by law to have COO (Country of Origin), but in other parts of the world, you are not...so they intentionally leave the Made in China off so people think the tool was made in a different country.
@@cup_and_cone I am not sure why but we are definitely hardcore when it comes to Country of Origin declarations. Simultaneously , we have the most insanely relaxed customs operations.
Anywhere that sells HiKOKI stuff, or if you are in the states, anywhere that sells Metabo HPT. The batteries are called Multivolt and are the same everywhere on earth.
A shame the setting change via Bluetooth App wasn't mentioned at all, since this is one thing which makes this impact driver stand out from all the others.
They’re usually MUCH cheaper than Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee, Bosch in the US. Price ain’t the issue. Shit, everyone uses their pneumatic stuff: because of the price.
@@robertrada4783 telling about price. The M18 Fuel Jigsaw is at 240 Euros so about 270 USD bare tool. The new M18 Gen 2 mid tourqe bare tool 249 Euros. The small M18 miter saw is around 800 USD, yoz get the sinular specs 18V Profactor Bosch Miter for half. Basicly Milwaukee is only for fancy american fandom people in europe. You are more close to Hilti or Festool in price as to Bosch, Makita or Metabo
@@Zozo806 It’s crazy what they sell Milwaukee for in Europe. It’s probably the worst built out of the lot. Dewalt is really high in some European countries too. Isn’t that a hoot? American Black and Decker buys your Elu, paints it yellow, drastically reduces the build quality, and then sells it back to you as a Dewalt for twice the price. 😂
@@robertrada4783 not by a lot for some brands. The finish of Milwaukee tools is a bit on the cheap side, the fat handle is personal preference but still its crazy that a Festool Kapex KS 120 is like 50 bucks more expensive than a Milwaukee MS 304 DB. This saws are just not in the same League they are not even from the same planet. While one is a saw that is known for fine carpentery like high foot trimmings the other one is a construction side miter.. Yrs for Elu, its sad but Dewalt is also like the german or japanese Brands not that aggressive in adverticment...
@@Zozo806 The M18 12in miter is $700.00 in the US. The Kapex 150 is $1575.00, more than twice as much. The fuel jigsaw is a freebie tool, meaning throughout the year, all the Milwaukee dealers put out a "buy a battery starter kit for $150, choose a free tool" and the list is always the same, jigsaw being one of the options. Otherwise it's $199.
From what I can find online, the limited edition colour ones are Chinese, the regular hikoki green are American - do you think that has something to do with it leaking oil?? There another video on TH-cam with same red colour one leaking. @@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL
Mostly. Occasionally I borrow some for larger comparison videos. None of the large tool manufacturers have ever given me any tools. My wife is very understanding.
New percussion driver Hikoki is a shit dog. when falling from a height of 4 meters. He fell off his head with an engine from handles. Milwaukee was experiencing a drop and with greater height without special consequences. Korpus Hikoki is very thin and from poor-quality polyethylene. And this is at a price twicest above Milwaukee

Man you guys get all the best stuff. I'm so jelly bro. I'm still using the regular triple hammer like a peasant.

maybe an exclusive incident? My DC is fine
Pretty sure they're made in Germany and China, even if the parent company that bought Metabo was from Japan
Hikoki was never made in Germany you are thinking of Metabo completely different tool lines.

It might have a lot of extra grease. It’s metabo hpt here in the us. Hope it releases here soon.
This was a funny one 🤣 you’re probably not the only one that can get very excited by a new good tool
Legit wished they called it Hikoki here in the states instead of Metabo HPT. Only one in the states I’ve seen with real Hikoki is Chris Salamone.
I wish they’d bring over their cordless staplers.
@Quentin Sounds like a form of herpes.
@Quentin when I hear Metabo HPT I don’t think about fine German Metabo craftsmanship, that’s for sure.
Metabo is the original name of the tool company that makes the drills. They were bought out by Hitachi. They're made in Germany and China
No. Metabo and hikoki make completely different lines of tools even if they are owned by the same company. Hikoki was never made in Germany it is a Japanese brand.

Love the video man, I almost bought that hikoki impact. But it's around 225 to order it here in the states.
Hype! Great looking tool! Let’s see what it can do!
I personally think the standard double hammer has better force because the hammer is travelling further with more rotation speed rather than the triple hammer as it travels less with less hammer speed and I don’t see any extra NM force to compensate the less rotation, and why is it whenever I watch your vids I always go and play with my tools !!!! bahahahaha.
So why not a single hammer then?
A single hammer would be unbalanced.
Has this grease issue been fixed yet?
I think you've discovered a very serious issue. Based on your observations of the triple hammer warping screws and slowing down, I suspect the hammering frequency has no randomness designed in its mechanical action. What you are seeing are destructive harmonics. The frequency of the hammering is too close to the natural resonant frequency of the impact internals and that screw that you warped in a previous video.
You can actually see it happening in this video too, but to a lesser extent due to using steel instead of stainless like the previous video you speak of. Hopefully one day when I have more time I will make a video delving into the issue.

Yes. Metabo hpt and hikoki are the same brand. It's called Hikoki everywhere except the states where they call it Metabo hpt.
What 5/16 nutsetter is that ?
Awesome colour on it though
I was hoping you would use the video of the front falling off at 3:18 and you came through with the goods! 😂
When I was filming, as soon as I said the "front fell off" I thought oooh. I know what clip I've got to stick in here.
Ryobi bid10xr please🙏 beautyfull impact driver
Ryobi bid10xr please🙏
Where do you get the batteries for these?
Anywhere that sells HiKOKI stuff, or if you are in the states, anywhere that sells Metabo HPT. The batteries are called Multivolt and are the same everywhere on earth.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL will the 3rd gen run 18v or 36 only?
Both of the Hikoki Impacts are 36v only. The 18v impacts take both batteries whereas the 36v only take the Multi-volt batteries.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL ok, cool. Thank you for the information. Love your videos.
A shame the setting change via Bluetooth App wasn't mentioned at all, since this is one thing which makes this impact driver stand out from all the others.
I do mention it.
Sorry, probably not the best wording. Would be nice to see it in action though, maybe in a future video.
Hikoki makes great tools if they were cheaper you’d see more people using them in the states
They’re usually MUCH cheaper than Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee, Bosch in the US. Price ain’t the issue. Shit, everyone uses their pneumatic stuff: because of the price.
@@robertrada4783 telling about price. The M18 Fuel Jigsaw is at 240 Euros so about 270 USD bare tool.
The new M18 Gen 2 mid tourqe bare tool 249 Euros. The small M18 miter saw is around 800 USD, yoz get the sinular specs 18V Profactor Bosch Miter for half.
Basicly Milwaukee is only for fancy american fandom people in europe. You are more close to Hilti or Festool in price as to Bosch, Makita or Metabo
@@Zozo806 It’s crazy what they sell Milwaukee for in Europe. It’s probably the worst built out of the lot. Dewalt is really high in some European countries too. Isn’t that a hoot? American Black and Decker buys your Elu, paints it yellow, drastically reduces the build quality, and then sells it back to you as a Dewalt for twice the price. 😂
@@robertrada4783 not by a lot for some brands. The finish of Milwaukee tools is a bit on the cheap side, the fat handle is personal preference but still its crazy that a Festool Kapex KS 120 is like 50 bucks more expensive than a Milwaukee MS 304 DB. This saws are just not in the same League they are not even from the same planet. While one is a saw that is known for fine carpentery like high foot trimmings the other one is a construction side miter..
Yrs for Elu, its sad but Dewalt is also like the german or japanese Brands not that aggressive in adverticment...
@@Zozo806 The M18 12in miter is $700.00 in the US. The Kapex 150 is $1575.00, more than twice as much.
The fuel jigsaw is a freebie tool, meaning throughout the year, all the Milwaukee dealers put out a "buy a battery starter kit for $150, choose a free tool" and the list is always the same, jigsaw being one of the options. Otherwise it's $199.
I never had that problem with my 1st gen
i wish they'd make a new 18v model
Nice to see makita could do better for holding
They are 215nm in all the ads.
They are now.
From what I can find online, the limited edition colour ones are Chinese, the regular hikoki green are American - do you think that has something to do with it leaking oil?? There another video on TH-cam with same red colour one leaking. @@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL
@@Jeffnz020 They are all made in China.
Isn't amp hour the amount of stored energy in battery.. Nothing to do with power..
It is neither. Peak watts (peak amps x min voltage) are power measure, and wh is a capacity measure
Mine says Auto not App
Nice😀
Do you ever not make videos?
Not at the moment.
When i angry
I'm watch your videos
Okay...
Do you purchase all your tools ?
Mostly. Occasionally I borrow some for larger comparison videos. None of the large tool manufacturers have ever given me any tools. My wife is very understanding.
Super screws!
So buy a makita then?
👍👍👍
Gen 3 takes Japanese 13mm bits
Only of you get a JDM one.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL the tapered collar is on the JDM isn't?
I have never had my milwaukee driver piss oil out on me and i abuse it
DB 210 nm v DC 215 nm?
Makita 😤
The front fell off hahahahaah
With all the stupid buttons everywhere; are these tools to get work done with, or another damn keyboard?
New percussion driver Hikoki is a shit dog. when falling from a height of 4 meters. He fell off his head with an engine from handles. Milwaukee was experiencing a drop and with greater height without special consequences. Korpus Hikoki is very thin and from poor-quality polyethylene. And this is at a price twicest above Milwaukee
dude the hikoki has the same led lights as dewault and leaks oil?! haha
She was so hot that eject industrial milk to release pressure. Suffered too much.
Translation on point 😅
