Oz Tool Talk the only thing I think isn't fair is you didn't have the bosch eneracer battery on which is 6.3 ah and uses the larger cells like the flex volt battery ! Not sure if this is available in Australia but I own one in the U.K. And it does add more power and run time
Tom Martin yes it really does ! I know this was a test using 6 ah batteries but the metabo and dewalt batteries that were used have the larger 20700 cells inside like the eneracer so not a fair comparison as they produce more torque
We did ask Bosch for the Eneracer/Core batery. They didn't have it ready, or else didn't want to send it. They said it wouldn't make much/any difference on the drill. Not sure whether that's true or not.
This is the 5th tile project we've done where we've removed the old tile before installing new tile, and the first one with this tool th-cam.com/users/postUgkxqqoaX03nrziKwF7Bjjcc71YzLEleMvOS . I want to cry for all the unnecessary work we've done in the past. With this tool, we removed tile surrounding a fireplace, as well as the hearth tile, set in loads of cement, in less than an hour. I highly recommend this tool. It was easy to use, and very satisfying watching the tile literally fall off the wall.
I was once a power tool repairer for CML Tools in the UK. We were Metabo / De'walt and others repair agents and As I used to strip these machines apart, I saw first hand what were good and Bad. Its such a shame that there is little interest in Metabo as these were the tools that were least likely to need repair . ok for general repairs like brushes and bearings / cables etc is one thing but for more complex breakdowns the metabo tools stood up to most of what the user could throw at them. I consider them to be one of the best power tool brands on the market. and very good priced too.
100% agree my dad has a 12 year old drill and all it needed was a new chuck, parts are still available and it is fully compatible with the newest batteries
I am dumbfounded that this channel doesn’t have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. It’s awesome to have such a great tool channel so close to home, to give an Aussie perspective.
In my experience, I’ve found that Milwaukee comes out superior in long term, I’ve owned dewalt, hilti, makita, and Bosch. I’ve found that over time Milwaukee keeps itself together exceptionally and holds super well
No way milwaukee outlasts Hilti or Metabo. Milwaukee hammer drills suck! Always had problems with switches, damn chucks, gears sticking, or burning out along with many coworkers. I love the power of milwaukee no doubt about it especially the impacts. Found Hilti far superior in durability!
The weird thing here is that I have this Makita at work, and my colleagues have the Dewalt. They have problems all the time, and they stop working, bad batteries etc. I havent had one problem with my Makita yet. Absolutely love it, and it just reeks quality when you look at it.
[Dwain] Interesting feedback. The Makita is a quality tool. Do your colleagues have a variety of Dewalt drills, or all the DCD996 (keeping in mind the DCD995 looks almost identical, and both look similar to the DCD985)
Perhaps the best presentation I have ever seen.Superb testing in all phases in a way that laypersons can understand. I am getting the DeWalt following your evaluations. Gentleman.Absolutely superb job
im shocked hilti is not numero uno. they used to be untouchable. but $$$$$. yup. warranty is the ultimate. the build is close to ultimate. thats why theyre so confident bloody well great channel here boys. you just got a new sub here hilti all day !!!
I have made numerous comments on this review and I feel that, as the guys pointed out Hammer drilling is not such an important factor in a combi-drill. I think Combi's are designed basically as a drill driver that can be used occasionally as a hammer drill. If you are doing a lot of fixing to brick/concrete in a day you wouldn't use a combi-drill. You would use an SDS or similar and use the combi to drill/screw-fix your timber etc to walls.
Thank you so much guys! Been meaning to replace my 12v Bosch for the longest time and out of all the videos I have seen, yours is by far the best and most informative for me. Even in 2021 in the U.K. :) (just bought the Dewalt)
Cool review. I have that Makita, all great tools for sure, since I've already invested in the Makita platform I've stuck with it, they get used and abused heavily and never quit. I've used a lot of Milwaukee at a different place I worked at, great also but we had to send a lot of drills back for repair and one literally broke in half while I was using it, mind you this was several years ago before brushless etc. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, heck even Ridgid and Ryobi are putting out great cordless stuff, lots of great options. If I could go back in time I might have bought a cheaper brand than Makita but at least I'll have very long lasting tools with Makita.
I like Milwaukee m12 but for the 18v I chose Makita, both are perfect tools for mechanic work. I like light weight tools that are very precise yet extremely powerful. The last thing you want is to restart an engine build from scratch.
Here in the US. Absolutely love your reviews guys--especially the ones like this. I've done some tool testing for a magazine and know how much time goes into something like this!
Steven Smith thanks Mate 👍🏼👍🏼 was a big job but we had to do it right and fair... I can't say ATM it was fun lol. Maybe after we've forgotten the pain 😂 (mike))
This test is a perfect example why torque numbers aren't the end all way to compare tools. The Milwaukee is near what 400inlbs on the dewalt and it can't beat it...
Fusion2016 its because all the companies calculate maximum torque of the motor not factoring efficiency, I’ve used dewalt makita and Milwaukee my entire life and they are superb tools but i will always go with the yellow
I just picked up the DeWalt dcd996 the other week in a combo pack, with grinder and driver, and so far am loving it, it is kinda heavy, but I have smaller batteries if I want lightweight. I've had it for about a week and a half, and used it for 3 days, and the battery only went down one third, if that, which is the plus of that massive battery, but it drill holes in framing faster than many corded drills, and more easily, no complaints so far, except the heavy duty chuck takes getting used to
Awesome bro. I got a dewalt 5 piece flex volt kit 2 weeks ago. Got the 18v drill and impact, 54v grinder, skill saw and recip saw. Awesome kit power beyond measure for cordless stuff.
I'm working in a French factory, we use CNC machines all-day long, for steel, inox/stainless, aluminium. I use cordless drills for holes chamfering, 8 hour a day. Factory running 24/24, 7/7. Working with DeWalt and Milwaukee 18v old version. DeWalt is very good, nice weight, nice balance. Only the batteries are a bit short. For a 8-hour-day, I usually need 4 batteries. I will buy the same tool for home use. It's strong. Milwaukee is the best for me. A bit more weight, more torque, bigger battery. I need 1 to 2 batteries the same time, for the same job. More solid. STRONG, and very reliable, definitely ! Perfect for industry. Only problem, it cost. $$$ I know Bosch, I will not buy it anymore. Wire tools are ok for home use. Wireless Bosch are, in my opinion, not made to last. Hope my English is not so bad, and my explanations can help someone...
@Lynx Salut! Re your English: Excellent -- except for "wire" and "wireless". They should be "corded" and " cordless" respectively. PS-- I am an English teacher et je parle un peu de français. My native language is Arabic.
Battery Powered Bosch GBH 24 VRE has lasted 20 years for my Dad in trade use. They do have very strong mechanical reliability, its just the batteries, like all drills, that go. It is still as powerful and precise as it was 20 years ago!
Makita did pretty damn good considering it’s the older one of the bunch. I have Dewalt and Makitas. Had the Milwaukee m18 fuel sold it The drill trigger getting stuck all the Fing time pissed me off.
I hear ya Ap A! Milwaukee needs to fix their damn triggers! They either stick, won’t depress, and your finger will get pinched, or the bottom edge will make your finger ache after using it all day. Peace!
Makita is very under rated I bought a drill back at Christmas and love it and I actually just ordered a Makita impact wrench and a Makita ratchet wrench love them can’t wait till they get here and in this competition the Makita was way older so fair play
I think this video has swayed me away from my original choice of my very first power tool for weekend diy. subscribed and watching more! hopefully i have made a clear choice by tomorrow when I head down the store. :)
Makita is the ultimate alllrounder if you ask me. Good comfort, good speed (considering its older, newer it would be with the DeWalt and Milwaukee), greatprecision (in terms of the trigger and the way it applies power) and it never lets you down!
VeteranVandal yes your right we could, unfortunately we can only fit so much into a review. It's VERY hard not to put everyone to sleep with information overload lol. I hope you enjoyed it still. (Mike)
@@MadMetalShop I've ran mainly Makita and Bosch most of my working life, and some Dewalt, Hitachi, and used Milwaukee. These comments didn't have Makita mentioned so your comment doesn't make sense, but I'll play.. DeWalt die fast, Milwaukee and Hitachi can have some duds but I rate Hitachi before Milwaukee and I rate Makita and Bosch fairly closely. I can't split them other than on that specific tool performance and battery quality. Makita pull more power from their batteries, but Bosch's batteries last longer in my experience. I haven't used Bosch's new batteries though and I it looks as though Bosch is now puling a lot more power in it's 18v range.
Hilti tools have always been quality, but a little pricey. I still have and use a Hilti TE10 hammer drill that I purchased in 1987. It's now 2019 and it is still fantastic.
@@jakewu9450 Yes you are right, each brand does have its own strengths. Hilti have a fantastic reputation, and warranty after service, but that comes at a price. Think the Dewalt is a good alternative and cheaper .
Good review. Personally, I like the Milwaukee simply because of the variety of "bare" tools I can get with this line. As a side note, after two years my battery charger burnt out due to my own fault. Took it to the local Milwaukee warranty depot - they replaced it with a new one still in the packaging no questions asked. Thanks for your reviews, always entertaining and informative. The prices you listed are very similar to what we would pay in Canada.
I'm going to buy a cordless most and whipper snipper and want to get the best tools as well for a full system.. is either Makita or DeWalt at this stage..
nkrumah osei We can talk more or you could watch the video and see for yourself.... physical results dont lie. I HAVE the milwaukee myself and love it, but the dewalt beat it in this
[Dwain]I thoroughly believe the 'max/hard' torque claims of many of these manufacturers are inflated. The Dewalt has the highest 'soft torque' at 66Nm, which is how it cleans up the competition. As said above, watch and you will see.
I have been told there was a bad batch of the Makita 6amps but it looks like they are coming back into stock soon. Sydney Tools is advertising as being available on todays newsletter.
I like your review. I personally have only used Dewalt and Milwaukee. Dewalt has an extensive tool line that I like, but I have had problems with the chuck. I have not had any problems with Milwaukee. My employer provides us with our cordless tools so they are not pampered.
Great reviews guy....just superb. I have Hilti and Milwaukee. Recently owned Makita, DeWalt & had use of a Ryobi. The Milwaukee is a bit manic and mega powerful. To use all day I prefer the Hilti every time!! 33 years ago I was given an old corded 110 Hilti te1 by a contractor who upgraded to a te30. It is still working perfectly to this day and still so smooth compared to new DeWalt or Makita. The only downer is lugging around the transformer!😁😁😁
By far the best reviews on TH-cam. You guys actually review the tools instead of just pointing out all the specs listed on the company’s website. SUBBED!
Thanks for your great review, you guys always good. As far as I know Bosch release new Hammer drill GSB 18V-85 in Australia which improved hard torque as 85nm, can be better working in masonry. Pre order at this stage. And I really wish to see when Bosch Australia can release core 6.3anh battery, that is awesome innovation, guys can google research. Be honest, I did not see too many site workers use bosch (except bosch hammer) but as many cabinet maker, jointer and electrician love bosch, I reckon this should be bosch marketing segmentation for those sort of tradies. I had bosch old GDX18v in past three years carry job everyday, it's robust ,great grip and dose job so well. Love the battery built, compact and longer life. Recently got new GDR metal chuck drill, the best compact drill I used ever. Powerful, short head and light weight. Still very happy stick with Bosch, will see more new tools released by this year.
[Dwain] Yeah I love Bosch, I have a bunch of their gear in regular use. I'm not certain, but I think the model you linked is basically the same as this one, but with their new setting personalisation system. But I don't think it's out year in Aus.
You can order from Sydney tools now only as kit sale not skin sale:) Actually my GDR was purchased from NSW couldn't find in QLD, asked for Trade tool and total tools they only had old version:( Yes both GSB are looks same, just sightly different, newer GSB-85 can be setting speed by Apps and increased extra 10nm for only hard torque, the rest of part are the same.
I think this test kind of misses the point of the Bosch. It has an all metal gear box but the torque is tuned down a little. It also has higher hammers and good kick protection. All these factors together make a very reliable tool that won't kill it's gear box in a couple of years, and won't kill the operators wrists with vibration and twist. Its just a different philosophy on tooling.
I just brought a full flex volt dealt kit from total tools glad I did getting into building for an apprenticeship so glad I went with them plus the look the best Quilty and feel heavy duty
I thought that Makita drill was a turbo diesel from a kenworth when i got it a year ago as it was so much more powerful than my 7 year old one, and to hear its at the bottom of the pack! When they bring out a new model I'm going to need to head to the gym to hold the sucker.
Bupalooga1 hahaha ... love the description mate ! I'm invested in Makita and it certainly was a 'turbo diesel' they just need an update. I hurt my wrist when testing it a couple years ago. Im not off the wagon yet 💪🏼 (mike)
Oz Tool Talk Everybody gets 'performance anxiety' when these tests come out. It is good to know who has the best bang for the buck at a given moment in time, but the reality is, no professional is going to go hungry as a result of owning any of these workhorses. Some manufacturers are just at a better point in their product cycle.
@@superchroma I'm doing some looking around now because I'm thinking of swapping my whole AEG kit out. I have the brushless (mid tier) tools at the moment, having burnt out my brushed circ saw and driver. The drill is crap, has always been crap (worse than the brushed one!) and just carcked it mid job. Still under warranty but I don't have weeks to wait, so I need to buy another drill either way. The diver is okay but unconvincing. The brushless saw has been pretty good, as has the grinder. They get a fair bit of use, but not much that's that heavy, and I do look after them. Or try to. I've still burned out about 6 motors in a few years. So yeah... thinking maybe it's time to jump ship instead of getting in deeper
we addressed the battery selections in the video. the flexvolt battery used on the Dewalt is an 18V battery when used on an 18V tool. It provides excellent power since it has 15 cells, but also makes the tool larger and heavier.
dewalt fan since 1996. updated all my 18v gear when 20 came along. I've had to replace three dewalts in two years. including this hammer drill. always will be a dewalt fan but not the units built in Mexico. bad chucks, bad triggers, and one was a brushed impact that caught on fire. : ) still believe in the dewalt product when it buy it but they can Peter out
Class review,, it’s a v hard decision as l m in the fabrication business and l love the pulse feature on the Metabo!!!! But lt may not be enough to win me over from DeWalt.. what’s the main benefits of the pulse feature and could l imitate it on the Dewalt ??!! Thank you 👌🇮🇪
Hmmm, I don't think you can easily imitate the pulse feature. For metal fabrication, I don't think you can beat a Metabo drill (unless you spend on Fein)
Home Depot has the Hilti from this specific video for $369 (USD) with the soft bag kit, two batteries, and more. They might have used to cost that much USD, but the newer ones in the States can be found for a lot less than $700.
Hilti is overrated and is more of a commercial contractor grade tool manufacturing company. If you're looking for some company's that truly make industrial grade tools and equipment then you should check out the following. STANLEY Infrastructure, ATLAS COPCO, Ingersoll Rand, DARDA, TEXAS Pneumatic Tools, CHICAGO Pneumatic, American Pneumatic Tools, Rhino, KoR-IT, CS Unitec, Husqvarna, Diamond Products and Mincon. There's actually many more, but you get the ideal
xBERSERKx69 I have to agree with Josh. Pneumatic is with few exceptions yesterdays tech. Cordless is for most things quieter, quicker, stronger, less mantainance, and less harmful to the ears, lungs, and wrists.
+A Johnston, totally agree. The one they used in the test is a cheaper one (still great), but when you have a look at the SF 8M-A22 or the 10W-A22 you get a differerent result. My favourite one is the SF 14-A, have had it for some years now and it still works flawless every day.
A Johnston I had a Hilti rep out as my TE76 is incredible but the Hilti cordless drill was pants made in China like a lot of the others but a lot more expensive. The first one out the box the chuck was broken and the second drill kept shutting down. To be honest the lads I work with all have Milwaukee or Hilti and the Milwaukee kicks shit out of the Hilti but both have been back for repair vastly more than my Makita 481.
Great video guys. I’ve got the Metabo and I was surprised it scored as it did. Perfect for my use on the farm with auger bits and screwing into treated pine.
makita for longevity and my chuck is 100% true the yukiwa chuck is made in japan second to none. is that extra bit off power worth it compared to a drill that will last years. lets not get jst fixed on power and i also own dewalt brushless tools im not stuck to one platform .so no fanboy .great video tho guys keep them up .
[Dwain] longevity is super important,, but we obviously can't test it. some say the Makita is a tank, others reckon the gearbox doesn't last. Depends who you ask.
ALL cordless drills have plastic gear housings, and it's not plastic it's stronger than aluminium and does not melt. The differences are in the gear quality, motor power and electronics.
ellasOLE22 I've been repairing tools for years and NEVER had a plastic housing melt and most tool have plastic/nylon gears.. If a gearbox goes which Makita's did for a while it was the 4 gear mode and it blew actual gearbox up .. not the housings. Only trouble I've ever had with plastic housing was some brands compacts have some movement...(mike)
Great video guys. I work at a tool repair shop down under. The brand we repair the most is Milwaukee Not cause there a bad tool and keep breaking but rather there the tool most people have. Though I have done quite a bit of the other brands except Hilti they are straight up replaced at the retailer. So yeah I have a really interesting perspective on the tools. Knowing a lot about the inner workings and designs of the tools. Though I test all the tools I fix to ensure everything is working properly I get very little time to use the tool on a job site as a trade'y would. So my outlook on tools is quite different. But very knowledgeable.
I don't ever really comment on TH-cam videos, but I just want to say awesome job on the review! I'm just now getting into the trades, and looking to buy my first Hammer Drill (as well as my first impact driver). Me personally, out of all the reviews and info that I have gathered, I'm most likely going to go either DeWalt, Makita or Milwaukee (though, I do feel like I'm personally leaning more towards DeWalt on past experience and current info research on it). All seem to be fairly similar and all seem to do the job really well though.Thank you for the well done review, definitely earned a sub. from me!
I've used Dewalt in the past. Every time I had an opportunity to use Milwaukee tools on jobs I felt instant jealousy. If your going towards Dewalt, check out Rigid. They are on the same level but offer much better warranties and have greater, positive customer service. Milwaukee M18 Fuel tools are professional grade, you pay a premium but get a premium tool. Other tools like Makita, Bosch, Dewalt, Hitachi and Rigid are best suited for work where more than one user has access to them. If your a one man army, intend to keep your tools a long time and can make the initial investment go with Milwaukee, they won't let you down. Also as an added benefit, you automatically become "The Man" who has the best tools on the job! Totally a win win situation my man!
B H I have all Makita across the board minus 2 exceptions which are dewalt . I am currently switching to dewalt completely for a few reason . They are more readily available , tools and batteries , cheaper also , and I think with the flexvolt capability it’s much more flexible . I have owned all Makita for the past 15 years and they’re great tools but they pretty much been the same in that time . Back then I woulda said Makita > dewalt , but today dewalt is killing all the competition
@@clam741 I still run a standard Makita circular saw because of it's lightweight, dependability and blade reveal. I consider if the best all around framing saw. I have Dewalt power tools I use on framing jobs aswell. Hitachi stick nailers are the best (not that chunky alien green looking one either, yuck!). If I am inside, doing decks, using a jigsaw or a sawzall, I go Milwaukee. My chop saw is a Dewalt and I love it. I also have an impact and a drill by Dewalt that are a few years old and still going.
fatbuddycat the problem is having different brands and therefore different batteries and chargers , I’m making the switch to dewalt from Makita because there are currently a few tools I prefer from dewalt like the 18 gauge cordless nailer and it will enable me to have I set of batteries and charger . Also certain flexvolt tools are interesting
In other tests, Milwaukee was way stronger than Dewalt, and the Dewalt started smoking in a tug of war, failing to the Milwaukee power and torque. The Milwaukee didnt even get hot.
The new Workzone Battery Packs uses QIXIN lithium batteries and they seem to fail easily. I have opened many battery packs of the latest workzone tools and they used these batteries and i have lots of problem with them.

Shane Martin thanks Shane, we try and do it real justice. Not sure many could say we aren't fair.
Glad you enjoyed it.
(Mike)
Oz Tool Talk the only thing I think isn't fair is you didn't have the bosch eneracer battery on which is 6.3 ah and uses the larger cells like the flex volt battery ! Not sure if this is available in Australia but I own one in the U.K. And it does add more power and run time
Shane Martin I can second that, the Eneracer battery makes a massive difference! Makes my gks18 57g last for ages. Also ups the torque!
Tom Martin yes it really does ! I know this was a test using 6 ah batteries but the metabo and dewalt batteries that were used have the larger 20700 cells inside like the eneracer so not a fair comparison as they produce more torque
We did ask Bosch for the Eneracer/Core batery. They didn't have it ready, or else didn't want to send it. They said it wouldn't make much/any difference on the drill. Not sure whether that's true or not.

Gotta credit the Bosch for heavy durability and Makita too.
Idk I’ve had Milwaukee drills burn out on sites where there hired out

[Dwain] Interesting feedback. The Makita is a quality tool. Do your colleagues have a variety of Dewalt drills, or all the DCD996 (keeping in mind the DCD995 looks almost identical, and both look similar to the DCD985)
After seeing the test and using a Dewalt brand, I will stay with it due to it's quality, which I trust.
@Anne Kakes thats why you buy guarantee
@Anne Kakes three year guarantee... My workmates have dewalts that have been abused and run after 5 years
Dewalt is generally cheap crap with powerful motors, but i love the handle.
Good luck using the warranty.
@@joshbenton810 my Makita was thrashed and finally died after 8 years. Most should last more than 5 years regardless
I have that same exact dewalt. In my opinion, spend a little more for the better tool. That way it doesn't disappoint you in the long run.
Thanks for the great tool test! Now that it's 2019, time to do an update!
Nah, not many of these are superceded yet 👍
Oz Tool Talk how about 2020?

I have made numerous comments on this review and I feel that, as the guys pointed out Hammer drilling is not such an important factor in a combi-drill. I think Combi's are designed basically as a drill driver that can be used occasionally as a hammer drill. If you are doing a lot of fixing to brick/concrete in a day you wouldn't use a combi-drill. You would use an SDS or similar and use the combi to drill/screw-fix your timber etc to walls.
Yeah I always get the proper hammer drill out even when doing work that the combi could and even though it is a lot slower being leaded
Thank you so much guys! Been meaning to replace my 12v Bosch for the longest time and out of all the videos I have seen, yours is by far the best and most informative for me. Even in 2021 in the U.K. :) (just bought the Dewalt)
thanks so much mate! enjoy the drill.
Looking to replace my drill and driver for work and I was curious about the brand performance. Top notch video, mates, answered all my questions.
Glad we could help!
Which one did you end up going for?
Cool review. I have that Makita, all great tools for sure, since I've already invested in the Makita platform I've stuck with it, they get used and abused heavily and never quit. I've used a lot of Milwaukee at a different place I worked at, great also but we had to send a lot of drills back for repair and one literally broke in half while I was using it, mind you this was several years ago before brushless etc.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, heck even Ridgid and Ryobi are putting out great cordless stuff, lots of great options. If I could go back in time I might have bought a cheaper brand than Makita but at least I'll have very long lasting tools with Makita.
Great job guys, I wish all the tool tests were the same quality and so informative. Greetings from Russia!

Glad you thought it was Informative and I hope they got something out of it !
For no specific reason, I am a big fan of Milwaukee
Yes we using it home its great... never again bosch
I like Milwaukee m12 but for the 18v I chose Makita, both are perfect tools for mechanic work. I like light weight tools that are very precise yet extremely powerful. The last thing you want is to restart an engine build from scratch.
Oz Tool Talk I just Subscribed, have you done anything on cordless leaf blowers available here in Australia please.
yeah we have. search our channel :)
Hilti is love, Hilti is life.
Something i was told by a joiner was most hire shops have Makita and for a good reason they last..
Great review. Glad I just bought the DeWalt with flex volt last week.
I have 1st gen DeWalt Lithium Ion 18v tools and after nearly a decade of use, they're still going strong.
nice!
Here in the US. Absolutely love your reviews guys--especially the ones like this. I've done some tool testing for a magazine and know how much time goes into something like this!
Steven Smith thanks Mate 👍🏼👍🏼 was a big job but we had to do it right and fair... I can't say ATM it was fun lol. Maybe after we've forgotten the pain 😂 (mike))
A great Review... Thanks... Can you make similar comparisons tests for other tools like impact wrenches circular saws etc. Thanks!
we're gonna do compact recipro saws soon :D
Please do a makita vs milwaukee platform review
Finally a fair drill test... Unlike others pitting top of range against cheap ....
Well done lads great channel
[Dwain] thanks Ian, yeah unfair tests drive me crazy too.
This test is a perfect example why torque numbers aren't the end all way to compare tools. The Milwaukee is near what 400inlbs on the dewalt and it can't beat it...
Fusion2016 its because all the companies calculate maximum torque of the motor not factoring efficiency, I’ve used dewalt makita and Milwaukee my entire life and they are superb tools but i will always go with the yellow

Hitachi are superb. I love my hitachi set and have had nil issues. Also they feel lovely in the hands
Incredible quality review, done systematically. I'm very glad you guys have done such a great job!
thanks heaps!
I just picked up the DeWalt dcd996 the other week in a combo pack, with grinder and driver, and so far am loving it, it is kinda heavy, but I have smaller batteries if I want lightweight.
I've had it for about a week and a half, and used it for 3 days, and the battery only went down one third, if that, which is the plus of that massive battery, but it drill holes in framing faster than many corded drills, and more easily, no complaints so far, except the heavy duty chuck takes getting used to
Awesome bro. I got a dewalt 5 piece flex volt kit 2 weeks ago. Got the 18v drill and impact, 54v grinder, skill saw and recip saw. Awesome kit power beyond measure for cordless stuff.
I have the Bosch GSB 18V-85C with the new Procore 8ah battery!!Its a beast!
SouthFront Bosch fail :))
Videos like this what makes you tube great.
thanks mate. we literally just finished filming an update! Should be coming this month!
I'm working in a French factory, we use CNC machines all-day long, for steel, inox/stainless, aluminium. I use cordless drills for holes chamfering, 8 hour a day. Factory running 24/24, 7/7.
Working with DeWalt and Milwaukee 18v old version.
DeWalt is very good, nice weight, nice balance. Only the batteries are a bit short. For a 8-hour-day, I usually need 4 batteries.
I will buy the same tool for home use. It's strong.
Milwaukee is the best for me. A bit more weight, more torque, bigger battery. I need 1 to 2 batteries the same time, for the same job. More solid. STRONG, and very reliable, definitely !
Perfect for industry.
Only problem, it cost. $$$
I know Bosch, I will not buy it anymore. Wire tools are ok for home use. Wireless Bosch are, in my opinion, not made to last.
Hope my English is not so bad, and my explanations can help someone...
@Lynx
Salut!
Re your English: Excellent -- except for "wire" and "wireless". They should be "corded" and " cordless" respectively.
PS-- I am an English teacher et je parle un peu de français. My native language is Arabic.
Battery Powered Bosch GBH 24 VRE has lasted 20 years for my Dad in trade use. They do have very strong mechanical reliability, its just the batteries, like all drills, that go. It is still as powerful and precise as it was 20 years ago!
Cant believe this video is 3 years old. And i still come back to it regularly.
This one just keep on keeping on! Thanks for the great support :D
Me too
@@OZToolTalk yes
And I'm getting my self hitachi
Good video test of performance. But what about Ryobi & Porter Cable drills?
thanks. not a fair comparison, DIY vs trade brands.
Makita did pretty damn good considering it’s the older one of the bunch. I have Dewalt and Makitas.
Had the Milwaukee m18 fuel sold it
The drill trigger getting stuck all the Fing time pissed me off.
I hear ya Ap A! Milwaukee needs to fix their damn triggers! They either stick, won’t depress, and your finger will get pinched, or the bottom edge will make your finger ache after using it all day. Peace!
Makita is very under rated I bought a drill back at Christmas and love it and I actually just ordered a Makita impact wrench and a Makita ratchet wrench love them can’t wait till they get here and in this competition the Makita was way older so fair play
dewalt is an amazing machine , I have more than 5years that i work with dewalt and still is working in the same way as the day one
Miri Alla Dewalt is good stuff.
I think this video has swayed me away from my original choice of my very first power tool for weekend diy. subscribed and watching more! hopefully i have made a clear choice by tomorrow when I head down the store. :)
Luc De Villa We are glad you find it helpfull 👍🏼
I work Makita, Hilti, Bosch & Tesco underground machine... DeWALT the win!
Awesome benchmark video.
Good test. Still went with DeWalt and have been happy. I wouldn't use a battery drill for drilling into concrete, just get a cord drill for that.
oh man modern battery rotary hammer drills are so good. I haven't used a corded one for ages....
@@OZToolTalk Ok, I guess they've developed then, I read up on the recent ones. Cheers!
Hitachi anti kick has never failed me once
I like Bosch for its comfort and safety, I don't do super heavy work, But I respect your honesty.
I appreciate that
Makita all the way, if I could afford it though hilti, never liked dewalt stuff because a few bad experiences. Makita never let me down so far
Makita is the ultimate alllrounder if you ask me. Good comfort, good speed (considering its older, newer it would be with the DeWalt and Milwaukee), greatprecision (in terms of the trigger and the way it applies power) and it never lets you down!
Cool tests. Maybe you could also record the sound decibel measurement at 1 meter of distance each drill emits, also.
VeteranVandal yes your right we could, unfortunately we can only fit so much into a review. It's VERY hard not to put everyone to sleep with information overload lol. I hope you enjoyed it still. (Mike)
Oz Tool Talk Oh yeah. Objective tests and info are why I clicked the Vid.
Oz Tool Talk no point in doing that really everyone onsite should be wearing their PPE gear anyway
Not surprised by Dewalt and Milwaukee but disappointed in the Bosch. Great review guys thanks
thatdamguy00 Cheers Mate 👌🏻
I bet the Bosch out lasts them both, though.
@@jamesbailand4311 that would be a big NO. never had a bosch last as long as a Makita. Used plenty of both brands.
@@MadMetalShop I've ran mainly Makita and Bosch most of my working life, and some Dewalt, Hitachi, and used Milwaukee.
These comments didn't have Makita mentioned so your comment doesn't make sense, but I'll play..
DeWalt die fast, Milwaukee and Hitachi can have some duds but I rate Hitachi before Milwaukee and I rate Makita and Bosch fairly closely. I can't split them other than on that specific tool performance and battery quality. Makita pull more power from their batteries, but Bosch's batteries last longer in my experience. I haven't used Bosch's new batteries though and I it looks as though Bosch is now puling a lot more power in it's 18v range.
I am thinking to buy Bosch GSB 18V-85c with 8ah Procore batts..what do you think mate?i will regret it.
Tried most brands over the years but DeWalt is it for me. Never fail and feel special in my hands
Hilti tools have always been quality, but a little pricey. I still have and use a Hilti TE10 hammer drill that I purchased in 1987. It's now 2019 and it is still fantastic.
每個品牌都有自己的強項
@@jakewu9450 Yes you are right, each brand does have its own strengths. Hilti have a fantastic reputation, and warranty after service, but that comes at a price. Think the Dewalt is a good alternative and cheaper .
super effort guys I am tired just waching cant imagine what it took to do it. Keep up the good work. life time watcher.
[Dwain] you're a great supporter, thanks Gregory.
just want to note the metabo digital overload protection. they have put a lot of emphasis on product longevity this time around
thank you for these awesome tests.
I am seriously considering purchasing a Hitachi after your tests. it is such an incredible value.
Absolutely superb review, appreciate the effort for this very clear and thorough test - Many thanks....all the way from London !
[Dwain] thanks Paul!
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

@@Shnikies78 Woodn't no
Good review. Personally, I like the Milwaukee simply because of the variety of "bare" tools I can get with this line. As a side note, after two years my battery charger burnt out due to my own fault. Took it to the local Milwaukee warranty depot - they replaced it with a new one still in the packaging no questions asked. Thanks for your reviews, always entertaining and informative.
The prices you listed are very similar to what we would pay in Canada.
[Dwain] cheers Karl, good info! They do have a huge range, especially in North America.
I work with de walt for manny years and from day one its stole my heart .... love it
I'm going to buy a cordless most and whipper snipper and want to get the best tools as well for a full system.. is either Makita or DeWalt at this stage..
Nice, yeah if you want a toolkit and a line trimmer on the same batteries, you're choosing between Makita, Dewalt and Milwaukee.
AvE tested Mikita chuck wobble and it was only one tenth of a mm
AvE's the word
But it goes bad the bigger and harder you push it.
Lol doing 79 augar drill holes every day and most drills won't last forever
Awesome side by side comparison and very honest and true review from you guys hope to see more . Great job guys
thanks mate!
Oz Tool Talk of course guys keep up the awesome work and greatly appreciate the review
dewalt was impressive. metabo is dissapointing for the money. if makita brings out a new drill i can see it cleaning up
You mean like our comparison just found!
Oz Tool Talk exactly great job really enjoyed the review
milwaukee has 1200 pds of torque while dewalt has just about 900 n u say dewalt has much power than milwaukee pls come n do more explanation of that
nkrumah osei We can talk more or you could watch the video and see for yourself.... physical results dont lie. I HAVE the milwaukee myself and love it, but the dewalt beat it in this
[Dwain]I thoroughly believe the 'max/hard' torque claims of many of these manufacturers are inflated. The Dewalt has the highest 'soft torque' at 66Nm, which is how it cleans up the competition. As said above, watch and you will see.
I have been told there was a bad batch of the Makita 6amps but it looks like they are coming back into stock soon. Sydney Tools is advertising as being available on todays newsletter.
[Dwain] yeah they just came back into stock
Love my Makita. Heaps more grunt than my old Bosch
I like your review. I personally have only used Dewalt and Milwaukee. Dewalt has an extensive tool line that I like, but I have had problems with the chuck. I have not had any problems with Milwaukee. My employer provides us with our cordless tools so they are not pampered.
[Dwain[ thanks for the feedback!
it's like watching a football game, great content
haha thanks Salko
Nice video , greetings from Germany
Makita is the best in my opinion
Great reviews guy....just superb. I have Hilti and Milwaukee. Recently owned Makita, DeWalt & had use of a Ryobi. The Milwaukee is a bit manic and mega powerful. To use all day I prefer the Hilti every time!! 33 years ago I was given an old corded 110 Hilti te1 by a contractor who upgraded to a te30. It is still working perfectly to this day and still so smooth compared to new DeWalt or Makita. The only downer is lugging around the transformer!😁😁😁
Thanks Dave! Appreciate the support :D
Love my Makita - 3 years and still going strong. Will never buy anything else.
nice!
By far the best reviews on TH-cam. You guys actually review the tools instead of just pointing out all the specs listed on the company’s website. SUBBED!
GiDD THANKS !👍🏼
We do try and be thorough.
I hope you enjoy our ramped up content !👊🏻
Thanks for your great review, you guys always good. As far as I know Bosch release new Hammer drill GSB 18V-85 in Australia which improved hard torque as 85nm, can be better working in masonry. Pre order at this stage.
And I really wish to see when Bosch Australia can release core 6.3anh battery, that is awesome innovation, guys can google research.
Be honest, I did not see too many site workers use bosch (except bosch hammer) but as many cabinet maker, jointer and electrician love bosch, I reckon this should be bosch marketing segmentation for those sort of tradies.
I had bosch old GDX18v in past three years carry job everyday, it's robust ,great grip and dose job so well. Love the battery built, compact and longer life. Recently got new GDR metal chuck drill, the best compact drill I used ever. Powerful, short head and light weight.
Still very happy stick with Bosch, will see more new tools released by this year.
[Dwain] Yeah I love Bosch, I have a bunch of their gear in regular use. I'm not certain, but I think the model you linked is basically the same as this one, but with their new setting personalisation system. But I don't think it's out year in Aus.
You can order from Sydney tools now only as kit sale not skin sale:)
Actually my GDR was purchased from NSW couldn't find in QLD, asked for Trade tool and total tools they only had old version:(
Yes both GSB are looks same, just sightly different, newer GSB-85 can be setting speed by Apps and increased extra 10nm for only hard torque, the rest of part are the same.
+wei shu cool great info
I think this test kind of misses the point of the Bosch.
It has an all metal gear box but the torque is tuned down a little. It also has higher hammers and good kick protection.
All these factors together make a very reliable tool that won't kill it's gear box in a couple of years, and won't kill the operators wrists with vibration and twist.
Its just a different philosophy on tooling.
@@OZToolTalk The Bosch is ultra precise and smooth, but the low torque was unhelpful in speed, however it is very reliable too.
I just brought a full flex volt dealt kit from total tools glad I did getting into building for an apprenticeship so glad I went with them plus the look the best Quilty and feel heavy duty
nice one wilbur
Bought a dewalt last month, glad I did.
would never die another one
Gracias por el vídeo, pero opino que la comparativa debería ser con herramienta de similares características. Y de ahí una comparativa de precios
I thought that Makita drill was a turbo diesel from a kenworth when i got it a year ago as it was so much more powerful than my 7 year old one, and to hear its at the bottom of the pack! When they bring out a new model I'm going to need to head to the gym to hold the sucker.
Bupalooga1 hahaha ... love the description mate !
I'm invested in Makita and it certainly was a 'turbo diesel' they just need an update. I hurt my wrist when testing it a couple years ago. Im not off the wagon yet 💪🏼 (mike)
Oz Tool Talk Everybody gets 'performance anxiety' when these tests come out. It is good to know who has the best bang for the buck at a given moment in time, but the reality is, no professional is going to go hungry as a result of owning any of these workhorses. Some manufacturers are just at a better point in their product cycle.
+Nic Brown you're
Absolutely on the money there Nic
This is a great show format. Kind of like AvE crossed with the olympics.
[Dwain] cheers Matt.
Great vid and simply the best. I wish AEG was among the contestants.
Thanks bud! It will be in our next one, I guarantee it. [Dwain]
I'm pretty displeased with their miter saw. They strike me as on par with Ryobi these days. Not for serious use, but just my take.
@@superchroma I'm doing some looking around now because I'm thinking of swapping my whole AEG kit out. I have the brushless (mid tier) tools at the moment, having burnt out my brushed circ saw and driver. The drill is crap, has always been crap (worse than the brushed one!) and just carcked it mid job. Still under warranty but I don't have weeks to wait, so I need to buy another drill either way. The diver is okay but unconvincing. The brushless saw has been pretty good, as has the grinder. They get a fair bit of use, but not much that's that heavy, and I do look after them. Or try to. I've still burned out about 6 motors in a few years. So yeah... thinking maybe it's time to jump ship instead of getting in deeper
I really liked their 6 year warranty, that's what convinced me to go with them... but that's only useful if you can go a few weeks without.
Are these batteries even the same? Isn’t that a 60V flexvolt one on the Dewalt?
we addressed the battery selections in the video. the flexvolt battery used on the Dewalt is an 18V battery when used on an 18V tool. It provides excellent power since it has 15 cells, but also makes the tool larger and heavier.
dewalt fan since 1996. updated all my 18v gear when 20 came along. I've had to replace three dewalts in two years. including this hammer drill. always will be a dewalt fan but not the units built in Mexico. bad chucks, bad triggers, and one was a brushed impact that caught on fire. : ) still believe in the dewalt product when it buy it but they can Peter out
great review though
Tommy Merritt 20v Is 18v it's just a marketing gimmick.
Yea you must not be a contractor lol.
Excellent review lads, decision made based on this video.
cheers Tio
Team yellow the champs and I told everyone it was the most powerful
Class review,, it’s a v hard decision as l m in the fabrication business and l love the pulse feature on the Metabo!!!! But lt may not be enough to win me over from DeWalt.. what’s the main benefits of the pulse feature and could l imitate it on the Dewalt ??!! Thank you 👌🇮🇪
Hmmm, I don't think you can easily imitate the pulse feature. For metal fabrication, I don't think you can beat a Metabo drill (unless you spend on Fein)
Cant go wrong with DeWalt. Id love a Hilti but cant justify that cost.
The DeWalt is much more than the Hilti for this tool at least.
Andrew Debasque ugh what??? Hiltis are 700+$
Home Depot has the Hilti from this specific video for $369 (USD) with the soft bag kit, two batteries, and more. They might have used to cost that much USD, but the newer ones in the States can be found for a lot less than $700.
@Brandon I said at least this tool, I know other Hilit (gear) is very expensive. They are talking 700AUS aussie dollars.
They can though. The Dewalt breaks in two years, then goes in the trash. The Hilti breaks in 15 years, then gets fixed by Hilti.
the hilti is in another league as far as durability. A true industrial brand
Hilti is overrated and is more of a commercial contractor grade tool manufacturing company. If you're looking for some company's that truly make industrial grade tools and equipment then you should check out the following. STANLEY Infrastructure, ATLAS COPCO, Ingersoll Rand, DARDA, TEXAS Pneumatic Tools, CHICAGO Pneumatic, American Pneumatic Tools, Rhino, KoR-IT, CS Unitec, Husqvarna, Diamond Products and Mincon. There's actually many more, but you get the ideal
xBERSERKx69 I have to agree with Josh. Pneumatic is with few exceptions yesterdays tech. Cordless is for most things quieter, quicker, stronger, less mantainance, and less harmful to the ears, lungs, and wrists.
J Wiz and more control with variable speed triggers
+A Johnston, totally agree. The one they used in the test is a cheaper one (still great), but when you have a look at the SF 8M-A22 or the 10W-A22 you get a differerent result. My favourite one is the SF 14-A, have had it for some years now and it still works flawless every day.
A Johnston I had a Hilti rep out as my TE76 is incredible but the Hilti cordless drill was pants made in China like a lot of the others but a lot more expensive. The first one out the box the chuck was broken and the second drill kept shutting down. To be honest the lads I work with all have Milwaukee or Hilti and the Milwaukee kicks shit out of the Hilti but both have been back for repair vastly more than my Makita 481.
Great video guys. I’ve got the Metabo and I was surprised it scored as it did. Perfect for my use on the farm with auger bits and screwing into treated pine.
Cheers mate. Metabo is a super tough tool!
makita for longevity and my chuck is 100% true the yukiwa chuck is made in japan second to none. is that extra bit off power worth it compared to a drill that will last years. lets not get jst fixed on power and i also own dewalt brushless tools im not stuck to one platform .so no fanboy .great video tho guys keep them up .
[Dwain] longevity is super important,, but we obviously can't test it. some say the Makita is a tank, others reckon the gearbox doesn't last. Depends who you ask.
What have you heard about the gearboxes?
plastic housings.....rubbish..........
ALL cordless drills have plastic gear housings, and it's not plastic it's stronger than aluminium and does not melt. The differences are in the gear quality, motor power and electronics.
ellasOLE22 I've been repairing tools for years and NEVER had a plastic housing melt and most tool have plastic/nylon gears..
If a gearbox goes which Makita's did for a while it was the 4 gear mode and it blew actual gearbox up .. not the housings.
Only trouble I've ever had with plastic housing was some brands compacts have some movement...(mike)
Great video guys. I work at a tool repair shop down under. The brand we repair the most is Milwaukee Not cause there a bad tool and keep breaking but rather there the tool most people have. Though I have done quite a bit of the other brands except Hilti they are straight up replaced at the retailer. So yeah I have a really interesting perspective on the tools. Knowing a lot about the inner workings and designs of the tools. Though I test all the tools I fix to ensure everything is working properly I get very little time to use the tool on a job site as a trade'y would. So my outlook on tools is quite different. But very knowledgeable.
ZERO INFINITY I like your comment, I (mike) am also an old repairer. I had a shop and you DEF get a different look at the tools !!
I hear ya 👍🏼👍🏼
you get what you paid for, i'll go with the bosch because the majority of my power tools are bosch,
If your platform is Bosch, I'd stay with them. I'm on rebuilding, even though still working, others are getting long in the tooth.
Really informative - subscribed - thanks fellas! Now it's a few years on so I'll have a look on your channel for an update.
cheers!
I don't ever really comment on TH-cam videos, but I just want to say awesome job on the review! I'm just now getting into the trades, and looking to buy my first Hammer Drill (as well as my first impact driver). Me personally, out of all the reviews and info that I have gathered, I'm most likely going to go either DeWalt, Makita or Milwaukee (though, I do feel like I'm personally leaning more towards DeWalt on past experience and current info research on it). All seem to be fairly similar and all seem to do the job really well though.Thank you for the well done review, definitely earned a sub. from me!
Thanks man, appreciate the support!! They're all good brands!
I've used Dewalt in the past. Every time I had an opportunity to use Milwaukee tools on jobs I felt instant jealousy. If your going towards Dewalt, check out Rigid. They are on the same level but offer much better warranties and have greater, positive customer service. Milwaukee M18 Fuel tools are professional grade, you pay a premium but get a premium tool. Other tools like Makita, Bosch, Dewalt, Hitachi and Rigid are best suited for work where more than one user has access to them. If your a one man army, intend to keep your tools a long time and can make the initial investment go with Milwaukee, they won't let you down. Also as an added benefit, you automatically become "The Man" who has the best tools on the job! Totally a win win situation my man!
B H I have all Makita across the board minus 2 exceptions which are dewalt . I am currently switching to dewalt completely for a few reason . They are more readily available , tools and batteries , cheaper also , and I think with the flexvolt capability it’s much more flexible . I have owned all Makita for the past 15 years and they’re great tools but they pretty much been the same in that time . Back then I woulda said Makita > dewalt , but today dewalt is killing all the competition
@@clam741 I still run a standard Makita circular saw because of it's lightweight, dependability and blade reveal. I consider if the best all around framing saw. I have Dewalt power tools I use on framing jobs aswell. Hitachi stick nailers are the best (not that chunky alien green looking one either, yuck!). If I am inside, doing decks, using a jigsaw or a sawzall, I go Milwaukee. My chop saw is a Dewalt and I love it. I also have an impact and a drill by Dewalt that are a few years old and still going.
fatbuddycat the problem is having different brands and therefore different batteries and chargers , I’m making the switch to dewalt from Makita because there are currently a few tools I prefer from dewalt like the 18 gauge cordless nailer and it will enable me to have I set of batteries and charger . Also certain flexvolt tools are interesting
Top review lads. Horses for courses as always, but the Dewalts are always there.
exactly.
Dewalt for the win!
Devin K absolutely
Feeling smug that I use them near exclusively in my workshop
Colin Antink see other videos where the Milwaukee destroys Dewalt, not even close. But Dewalt is still decent
In other tests, Milwaukee was way stronger than Dewalt, and the Dewalt started smoking in a tug of war, failing to the Milwaukee power and torque. The Milwaukee didnt even get hot.
romansten9 Maybe it’s stronger but power is not everything. It’s about runtime and other stuff. DeWalt wins I think.
The new Workzone Battery Packs uses QIXIN lithium batteries and they seem to fail easily. I have opened many battery packs of the latest workzone tools and they used these batteries and i have lots of problem with them.
I think you got the American Hilti, not the lichtensteinian one.
All their cordless drill drivers now come out of their Chinese factory.
I'd be pissed if I paid the Hilti premium for that performance. Not surprised it's pleasant to use given its doing no work 😂
Thanks for the video but i dont care about how fast a machine is. But how durable they are
and fair enough too
Hitachi has the capability of making more powertools like this across the board
They cost a fortune though
