Dewalt still has an impact made in the USA if you look for it and what is outsourced is more likely to be in North America, Everything but blades from Milwaukee is made in China. Part of the rebranding over the last decade was specifically to cover that up.
Don't care where it's made if it works and in our shop we have both one of our guys prefers red and the other yellow. I run all red from battery life to reliability Milwaukee is king and I used to own a power tool repair shop which my nephew now runs and it's a no brainier!
Anything with a 100 percent Full replacement Guarantee that lasts a few years at the least. Some Music Equipment comes With lifetime replacement guarantee so why cant tools. Lmfao
@bonfireblu that's why I love harbor freight made in USA tools.. may be cheap but I'm paying 10% of snap on price tops for a lifetime tool that takes 10 minutes to replace just by walking into your nearest harbor freight
@@lincolnbarlow4778 lol right?? I mean you can set yourself up with a path of logic to make that seem true, but without knowing how much power is being sent to the motor, heat is being generated/dispersed, force is put on it the drive components to come to a sudden stop, etc. there is no bases to make such a claim!
In a workshop wired tools are best almost all the time. Problem people have is that their power outlets positions are horrible. Make a new power outlets to your workbench AND put few on your ceiling at the arm height. At any given time you can just plug the needed too cord on outlet just next to you and be done. You usually need 3-4 plugs for each position so you can have 2-3 tools at the same time available to be used. And for workshop tools, the air tools are just way nicer to use by their low noise utilization. As long you have compressor in another room...
@@4wheelliving132 you worry far less with corded tools than with cordless. Even when you have 2:1 ratio of batteries vs tools, you end up playing around with batteries, charging them, waiting, swapping... Just playing around all the time with them. You dont put lot of chargers to always have them charged as some are always in your machine and now you are again walking across rooms to get the battery or place it there. Corded is just "pick tool, plug in and use, after day unplug it and return to shelf". There really is no thinking. The opposite goes when you need to go remote. But then again corded ones win in power. You can have the small gasoline generator for full day work time in forest or other off-site, or battery pack and you get example full 1800-2500W power from all saws, table saws, drills etc. As when you are working example with 45x600 mm drill bits on thick lumber etc, you don't use battery powered tools there. Battery powered tools have their places and all, but not so great as corded tools in dedicated workplace. And when you have a dedicated workstation for specific work, it is idiotic to dedicate a cordless tool on that. It is as smart as using a battery powered table saw.... Sorry, but dedicated table saw is the way to go in workshop. Some don't have change to dedicate space for table saw, but they still benefit from corded power vs battery powered one. The world is crazy about battery powered tools. And used way too many for tasks that are better with some other power methods. Every tool has their purpose and all. Like a tiny battery powered screwdriver that fits on your palm is great when you are assembling cabinet or doing normal house repairs or even building a deck, as it is so tiny. Any normal large drill is big, cumbersome, just not good tool for all cases. And when you have remote workstation ready to go, it is nice to have dedicated tools for it, charged and all ready to be rolled out, picked to car and go... Be able work that 1-2 hours before recharging. No cords or fuel or anything.
When deciding new power tools for my new job, I called around a few tool shops and asked which brand had the least warranty returns. Milwaukee was the least returned followed by Makita. There were quite a few 15 year old team red drills and drivers at my last job in a fab shop that were still going strong.
yeah 😂 i have seen more dewalts break then i cak remember the battery comes loose or wont hold a charge meanwhile i use my red tools to.beat things into working again 😂 like i couldnt get my door to unlock so i just used my milwaukee hammer till Chinese lock gave up
I’ve been using the same Bosch batteries for about 8 years. Still working along with my drill, impact, orbital saw and jigsaw. I purchased my brother a Milwaukee fuel impact set for his birthday and it’s definitely more powerful than my Bosch but I doubt the batteries will last as long.
@@brycecourtneymusicI mean come on guys time to admit it . I was a dewalt guy for years and they have dropped the ball . I’ve basically switched to all Milwaukee at this point. Dealt used to have the best hammer/drill so I didn’t care that maybe their impact was a little behind or that the sawzall are absolute dog shit .. but at this point they don’t have a better drill then Milwaukee. Dewalt is done for if you ask me .
Have to say as a professional electrical contractor ive had a lot of different brands over the years. I ended up with Milwaukee and have changed all my battery tools to Milwaukee, not because of speed but just the feel and the power. At the end of the day it's what feels good and your budget.
The old Milwaukee was made in Germany and had the best triggers in the industry hands down. Milwaukee then moved ALL of its manufacturing to China and the triggers are awful. For wood working, I;m sticking to Dewalt. They typically have the best quick change and I can get parts at Lowes and HomeDepot. So I have nothing but Dewalt batteries. For working on cars, I use the Milwaukee 12V stuff - powerful enough once I break the bolts and fast and compact (can't fit an 18 or '20'V battery. Milwaukee also seems to have more metal working tools. Could be wrong on that...
I just upgraded to the Milwaukee fuel line from my old makita set and when I first ran the impact I was blown away by the power. Now I'm going to get the 1/2 inch impact for mechanic tasks
The fuel medium power 1/2” impact is incredible. I do structural ironwork and it will torque and un-torque 3/4 structural bolts all day which use a 1&1/4” socket. Phenomenal tool.
Be careful with high torque impact. Those sucker are know to bust off wheel studs while putting lug nuts back on. It's also know to bust nuts loose up to 2200 ft lbs with a forge battery. That's not over exaggerating either.
I'm a Milwaukee guy, but I have DeWalt, Makita, Ryobi, Craftsman and Hercules cordless tools in my shop. Anyone who has only one tool type is either a) sponsored, b) very specialized, or c) new to this. I even have a DeWalt Murdermatic 790 radial arm saw in my shop :)
You forgot d) doesn't want to go through the expense of buying multiple of tools with multiple varieties of batteries. It's simply not financially smart. It's one thing to get corded tools, because there isn't that extra expense of batteries. Being in the trades it sure gets bad when power isn't available for plugging in. Now a generator has to be purchased to run corded tools. So pros and cons everywhere.
When i started using Milwaukee, they were only available at professional supply houses. Instead of comparing new stuff,compare some old stuff and Milwaukee wont have ay competition
I committed to Makita years ago, but if I had to start over I would go with Milwaukee. I just think they are better throughout their entire line. Plus I'm ticked that HD committed to Makita years ago, and now they don't carry crap for Makita. My HD doesn't even carry a single makita miter saw. I mostly end up ordering on line now, but it sucks not being able to go into the store and seeing/touching most of their line.
You know, I love watching power tool showdowns just as much as the next guy. But it is frustrating sometimes how the raw strength of a tool is so often deemed as its most important attribute - or even worse, the only important attribute. I'm something of a jack of all trades, master of none, but more than anything I would consider myself a low voltage technician. In my line of work, I find the granularity of the trigger pressure to be one of the most important factors for an impact, and for that reason, I am personally in the Makita gang - even though I KNOW they're not the most powerful or the fastest. There are many aspects of my job where I should PROBABLY be using a screwdriver instead, but I feel like I could perform surgery with my Makita impact, so I reach for that nine times out of ten. If I were a framer, or a drywaller, or a roofer, I might feel differently. I will say however, that if I were a full-time electrician or plumber, I'd probably be very drawn to Milwaukee just because they happen to have some SICK ass specialty tools that cater to those two professions.
@@donaldholden2090 Yeah it's like the towing capacity of trucks for people that never need to tow anything close it. . . Dewalt, Milwaukee etc all have impact guns for steel connections. . . It's not impressive, it's just a selling point for people who don't know better, clever marketing . . . I had to redo some outlets put into metal studs, done with a Milwaukee fuel impact, and stripped the fuck out of it. When the power behind the tool is exceeds the material being used it's pointless. . . In fact, I drill on the slowest setting with my Dewalt drill whenever going into steel studs because I am much less likely to drop the screws that way. . .
@@Nomad137-FJC I've used them all. I stuck with DeWalt because I've had great success with the batteries and tools lasting years of daily hard use. I like Milwaukee a lot, but there's absolutely no reason to switch everything over. My only non DeWalt tool is a Bosch Bulldog Max SDS Hammerdrill. I've been using the Bulldig line so many years that I stick with a great brand in those drills.
I have the dewalt, but I bought it because of the price point and it’s ability to squeeze in tight spaces. The Milwaukee is small but still bigger than the dewalt, so I not surprised about the performance difference. If I wanted to hog down on a lag I’d just grab a 1/2 inch impact and wreck both of them. Milwaukee is nice but I’ve been pretty well satisfied with dewalt pricing/performance so until they start making complete shit I’ll probably stick with them
Dewalt prices are not much better than Milwaukee. And dewalt lacks power. If you’re a pro, dewalt is low quality. If you’re not trying to spend, go for rigid. Comparable power as dewalt much less money
@@Searchng man I've been to home depot... If the dewalt is 200 with battery and the Milwaukee is 300 with battery, im going with dewalt. I don't need the extra 2 seconds that badly. Also, I notice a lot of contractors use dewalt when the company is buying Dewalt tools, where as self employed buy Milwaukee.
I personally use Milwaukee but dewalt is right up there with it, along with makita. They’re tools, if they make your job easier, they’re doing their job.
I mean... He's right. If you look at the piece of wood in the part where he says to look at the holes, you can clearly see the knot locations. The spot of the screw for the DeWalt driver is definitely in line with that knot. It's just zoomed in during the test, presumedly to hide that
I agree, been splitting knotted wood all afternoon with the kiddos that shit for sure had an effect….i own dewalt but think Milwaukee is better…would love to see same test again
I bought my Milwaukee tools in 2008. They've been used hard in the HVAC business and look pretty battered, but still work fine. The drill chuck is showing some wear but the batteries and spare batteries have survived except for 2 out of the 6 and one of them is still OK for the light.
With that high torque drill of yours, you have no chance to save your limbs! Impact driver breaks the torque for you and does the trick saving hands and arms.
@@mishkaulitkin9476 That's why most drills have kickback feature. Most people also have a small and light drill with 60-90 Nm torque they use for most things that are not a problem to hold back. The professionals have a second drill with 100+Nm with better handles etc. they can use for the larger stuff
I have Dewalt, Mikita, and Milwaukee tools, they have pros and cons all. Honestly I use my Mikitas most because of the charging speeds, they may be slightly underpowered but I rarely drive 10" Riser lags. I will say I've had trigger failures on two of my Milwaukee tools, the skilll saw and a hammer drill. Upside is we have competition and the B op tools are getting better all the time.
After growing up with my dads old Milwaukee tools and seeing the insides these days through channels like AvE, I just can't justify spending the extra $ for Milwaukee. The same internals with a couple different parts most of the time. Plus dewalt makes the best consumer impacts on the market right now, and Makita makes a nice grinder.
@@0037kevin I used my dads old hole-hog a couple years ago. All metal, plugged in, and chewed a 4 inch hole right through the metal flashing and sill beams on the side of the house for a drier vent.
I prefer Milwaukee but Dewalt is really close and I would take it just the same. They’re both really good. I am a professional electrician. Master electrician. I use these tools every single day
I love the brand loyalty folks. Its always been simple for me. Whichever I have the most batteries for, I kept buying. To me, the biggest advantage a tool had was a hand full of batteries that fit it from the rest of the tools I wasn't using.
The M18 has an additional 1100 IPM (4900 vs 3800) and 350 RPM (3600 vs 3250), but slightly less torque (1700 vs 1825). Max torque shouldn't be much of a factor on a task like this. While specs aren't 100% definitive, this result really shouldn't surprise anyone. The DCF840 may be a slightly better match, it's a bit closer with 4200 IPM. But in tests like this, IPM and speed tends to beat torque.
I'm a lineman and the company buys Dewalt tools. When we get a good drill in, we can do about fifteen to twenty poles on a charge, but the triggers have been horrible lately. It's so bad that we are having to send off brand new out of the box drills for warranty, due to faulty triggers.
Been an absolute Dewalt brand Buyer for decades since the majority of my work is in the carpentry trades. I did over 4 yr work contracts in the Bahamas on a couple of Islands after Hurricane Dorian. my clients supplied my crew w/ the entire line of high end $$$ comercial and industrial grade Milwaukee tools majority of cordless tools. Bottom line? They absolutely sucked and didnt last more than 3 months . I was lucky to get 2 months out of their 18v batteries. The power tools went to shit in the salt air in no time. We went thru over $50k of cordless Milwaukee crap. I ended up bringing my own Dewalt set up cordless tools , table saws , slide compound miter saws, ect... I brought 1/2 of them back in 2021 and still using this same Dewalt tools. The other 1/2 is still back in the Bahamas which I still have clients and jobs still contracted . MILWAUKEE tools suck in salt air. Let that be a warning
Your vid just came up after I watched the Torque Test Channel's vid on the $55, $60, and $80 Gen 2 HyperTough impact SETS (tool, batt, charger) at Wally World. They are killin' it!
I know you're a liar and are making a judgement based on a free sign Home Depot have me when the Milwaukee rep left. Truth is I don't care about brand. That's your issue
@@ToolswithSoAlzWeird to accept and then hang up a brand's old sales material (aka garbage) in your workspace if you don't have any kind of bias toward them.
You need to imagine some glasses brother, because he’s got a dewalt sticker on the back wall also lol… by your logic, wouldn’t that mean a sponsor of his videos would also be dewalt? 🤔
This would be more landscaping and timber frame for which I think it would be exactly what those guys use. But for furniture and fine wood work a twist drill might be a better choice yeah. There are the lighter settings
For anybody new to tools my best advice is to look at the brands full list of what they sell of other tools and packout options. All drills/impacts still get the job done pretty much but brand matching really matters due to batteries cause them bitches ain’t cheap
A professional contractor really does not care about all-out speed. Pros look for the tool that drives the fastener completely, is durable, priced right, and the battery lasts decently. Speed is irrelevant, since it's usually just a matter of gear reduction. A case can be made for more reduction and less speed being the better tool.
Personally, my biggest concern is durability and battery quality/pricing. So that being said, I am mostly in Milwaukee fuel, but either DeWalt or Milwaukee is fine for me, not to mention Makita, but DeWalt and Milwaukee beat Makita on availability and special sales. The special sales is why I'm currently mostly Milwaukee, I love DeWalt just as much. Ridged too, but they change their stuff so much, I don't want to invest in their battery tools.
When it's a millisecond difference, i see your point. This however will add up after driving several screws Which means I'm not only losing time, but working much harder because someone has to stand there holding pressure on the trigger & the tool. I worked for years under someone with crap tools. Now that i have my own good equipment, my work is less frustrating and completed faster, which customers notice.
@@djaa7 I get it. But to say one tool is better after driving 1 screw is hilarious. Odds are that both will be about the same speed with an average deck screw...which is 90% of normal use.
As an electrician I care about speed. I work pretty fast so I like to get the job done quick and I will go with the fastest tool that gets that job done. An example is when I’m running pipe i have to drill the struts to the wood to hold the pipe. Being on a 12 ft ladder all day driving screws gets tiring so I’d rather have something that drills the screws in faster, it would be less fatigue.
That Milwaukee does 1,700 in/lbs while the DCF850 does 1,825 in/lbs. Goes to show that the marketing wank from companies doesn't always tell the whole story. Nothing like real world results.
Ma'am it's a 6X6, and that's the end of the knot. Andi, you make these excuses because you know absolutely nothing about tools, but the name on the side.
@ToolswithSoAlz and it seams you believe wood is two dimensions you can see the direction the knot is running a fair challenge would have been some heart free
All that power but my favorite impact, the one I use most is a 12v milwaukee. Light on the belt, fits in tight spaces, brushless lasts all day and enough power 9/10 times.
As a general contractor who uses both, I must point out that this isn't apples to apples. Milwaukee drills run at a higher RPM, which is why they drill/screw faster.
Complete opposite here, i hate replacing the tools from millwaukee because they keep breaking. By all means dont biy the circle saw, trigger problems with the last 4 of them. I own most every brand 18v btw.
@@J2Shay odd.. I’ve beat the snot out of my Milwaukee and there great. Dewalt had the board in the trigger that always kept going bad for me. Warrantied 3 of them. Atomic brushless 3/8 was the tool and my batteries after 2 years screws started falling out of the bottom there’s 4 small screws.
@justinmann3617 thanks for the heads up on the dewalt. Was thinking of converting to their newer higher end 18v tools. Only 18v that are lasting for me are the flex brand from lowes, the tools are durrable but the batteries leak and dont last. Theres issues with every combo kit i guess.....
All my coworkers had to get their Milwaukee’s in there, ridges replaced, and I used to giggle because mine just like Timex watch they just keep taking and taking
Milwaukee triggers are u reliable and the battery connection gets flogged out with only small plastic pointed bits holding it tight, after a few months use they get loose and you need to hold the battery on to keep the connection to tool.
Did carpentry for 5 years. (Unfortunately had to move on from that job.) We had a few different drills. Ryobi, maukita, milwakee, dewalt and rigid. The impact AND the regular drill from Milwaukee we used had the longest battery life and felt the lightest out of each. Granted we probably didnt have the lightest most compact version of each brand. And im not sure of the pricing of everything. I think ryobis might have been the cheapest. I'm not really a brand guy but Milwaukee has some good tools man.
Impact drivers are one of the few tools where Milwaukee is still in the lead….not sure how dewalt has industry leading impact wrenches but can’t seem to catch up with Milwaukee for impact drivers
Brother, I am doubtful about which combo to buy, one is the DeWalt Flexvolt Advantage 20V Max and the other is Milwaukee M18 4 generation, which of the two combos do you recommend I buy? They are for rough use
There’s probably about a 200$ price difference as well. So as a DIY at home impact works just fine for me. Dewalt has always been fine enough for me. Both are great though pending what your doing.
As someone who works in plumbing construction I find Milwaukee powertools to just be the best. Pipe sheers, band saws, Sawzalls, holehog, vacuums, threaders, press tools, etc. all on the m18 platform. It’s pretty convenient. Bosch makes really nice reciprocating saws.
Milwaukee keep going forward when in reverse sometimes, drives me nuts . I drove a 10" structural screw right through the width of a 2x4 & wall sheeting before it stopped. For delicate work i grab the Dewalt but the Milwaukee is the go to
To be fair, there’s a reason why we often don’t accept the results of just one test. You need at least two runs to set a land speed record. 3 reps would have definitively put this to rest.
The reason I use Milwaukee is because of their tool selection. No other brand has the range of “specifically” battery plumbing tools that I need…. Or really any for that matter
I have been a Dewalt fan for the longest time and slowly switching to Milwaukee, I got the atomic and fuel 12v set and the M had better features like 3 selectable speed ranges and option for disabling hammer. Dewalt on the other hand had a better chuck that you can replace the bits with one hand.
tell that to my 6 year old Milwaukee drill and impact set that's been kicking ass since day one , i am even using the same batteries that came with it !
I’m not surprised used a dewalt to loosen lug nuts was doing most by hand. Switched to Milwaukee only time it has trouble is when they are torqued on over 150. Cause it has no trouble breaking loose 150.
I’ve worked construction for over 15 years. Mostly in the refineries. 99 percent of the time it’s all Dewalt. Bandsaws, grinder, impact, sawzall, you name it. And we treat them power tools with no respect lol and they keep going. Milwaukee feels cheap.
I accidentally bought that little Milwaukee, thinking it was the Fuel version. I then bought the fuel version, thinking it was better, but it's heavier and doesn't feel as comfortable. The Fuel IS a bit more powerful, but I actually like that little compact better. Nice tool!
Aw your tool brand lost and you're having a hard time dealing with it. I feel sorry for you. Guess what, we did a rematch and your brand still lost. Dry those tears
I have mostly DeWalt. They've built many homes, garages and remodels. I also have the Milwakee Drill and Jigsaw. Can't say i like either better than DeWalt. But they're definitely up there in quakity. I also have Ryobi stuff...they're fine, but they miss details (light only gies on when pulling the trigger, not as easily changing blades, fine adjustments aren't there)...quality is definitely 'homeowner' vs pro. But if its what you can afford, great! I use all 3 brands. I lean towards DeWalt... but again, Mikwaukee is great too.
I got the Milwaukee one in a kit with a drill two batteries and a charger for $189.99 (home Depot going on right now in case anyone wants it) and it’s great.
I'm curious what they would be like versus a porter cable. Mind you in have no real preference, but since I have porter cable batteries I go with what I have.
Just got through watching a battle of battery powered drills ( two drills attached at the chuck bouncing around on the ground at full speed) and there were about 10 in all, the cheapest of all brands to the death and Milwaukee came out on top. They do make some really good products. Cant remember where DeWalt fell in the bracket.
I’m a Milwaukee guy but for personal use I have dewalt because it’s cheaper the last dewalt impact I bought was 129 I have the luxury of being able to buy what I want with my company and my work truck is outfitted with all Milwaukee
Fastest doesn’t mean best. Which one has better longevity with daily use? Or still goes strong when it falls from the second story right onto the driving bit? That’s black and yellow all day. I do like Milwaukee but I’ve been let down in the past.
That Milwaukee is a throwaway when it breaks, individual parts not available and a lot of them have cheap bearings now so repeat test with same drills in a few years.
A slower speed will produce more torque, enabling the battery to last longer, also it will drive a bigger screw in. Depends what you are looking for. Makita tools last a long time, and in the UK are cheaper
None of what you said is true. Well, maybe Miss Kita is cheaper. The rest is just garbage. The longer it takes a tool to do a job, the more that tool builds heat, the more friction is exerted on the internal components. We should all know by now that heat and friction destroy tools.
@@ToolswithSoAlz Rubish! Slower speed puts less strain so on the motor this = less heat, slower speed is kinder on the battery, meaning it won't have to work so hard, again this = less heat. Been using battery drills/impact drivers for years, if you over stress/strain them, they burn out quick. Example: try cycling up a hill in the wrong gear, or put too small a battery in a car and see how long it lasts.
I switched from makita to that Milwaukee. Love it but don’t like the battery release button. Also I feel the speed on full squeeze is a little too fast for self tapping screws so I have to be mindful not to go max speed.
I love the comments. Can tell most guys work in a very different environment than I do. I get paid piece rate and can go home when I'm done so the better performing tool is something I'm always interested in and trying to shave my times down. The difference between me and another guy who doesn't really care at the end of a year can be about $15-25,000. Any amount of time I can shave off is worth it to me.
I've owned both brands. They both have pluses and minuses, just like EVERY other product under the sun. I currently have Milwaukee stuff. Love my drill, hate the chuck and the batteries. But, when it works it's awesome. I also have the medium impact driver. Gotta say, that's actually a beast. But, whatever you like, you buy and use.
Do a comparison with Rigid. They have the best warranty. Being middle of the road tool for professionals, I’d have to say it’s the best bag for your buck. I have Ryobi and Milwaukee, but now only buy Rigid.
Most of my colleagues reckon milwaukee is hands down the best. Yet the only tools we've ever broken are the milwaukee ones (we use a mixture of both) .... As for me, no real preference other than than the direction switch seems to be more easily knocked on the milwaukee.
yeah at this point i have like 5+ battery chargers for different brands (it’s ridiculous). but it helps when you know you won’t use the tool every day (i’ll just get the cheap one) (any of the 10 other brands will do) if i use it daily (i’ll get the red).
The only reason for picking one or the other is what you already have batteries for.
Factual. Gotta pick one from the get go and then defend it the rest of your life😂
@thomasbrueske5016 sometimes it be like that 😂😂 I like some tools from several brands but I realllllyy dont want to have tons of different batteries
Battery is half the cost of some of these tools
Dewalt still has an impact made in the USA if you look for it and what is outsourced is more likely to be in North America, Everything but blades from Milwaukee is made in China. Part of the rebranding over the last decade was specifically to cover that up.
Don't care where it's made if it works and in our shop we have both one of our guys prefers red and the other yellow. I run all red from battery life to reliability Milwaukee is king and I used to own a power tool repair shop which my nephew now runs and it's a no brainier!

Make a new power outlets to your workbench AND put few on your ceiling at the arm height.
At any given time you can just plug the needed too cord on outlet just next to you and be done.
You usually need 3-4 plugs for each position so you can have 2-3 tools at the same time available to be used.
And for workshop tools, the air tools are just way nicer to use by their low noise utilization. As long you have compressor in another room...
Amen to that. They give you the tool for free because they have to.

You can have the small gasoline generator for full day work time in forest or other off-site, or battery pack and you get example full 1800-2500W power from all saws, table saws, drills etc. As when you are working example with 45x600 mm drill bits on thick lumber etc, you don't use battery powered tools there.
Battery powered tools have their places and all, but not so great as corded tools in dedicated workplace.
And when you have a dedicated workstation for specific work, it is idiotic to dedicate a cordless tool on that. It is as smart as using a battery powered table saw.... Sorry, but dedicated table saw is the way to go in workshop. Some don't have change to dedicate space for table saw, but they still benefit from corded power vs battery powered one.
The world is crazy about battery powered tools. And used way too many for tasks that are better with some other power methods.
Every tool has their purpose and all. Like a tiny battery powered screwdriver that fits on your palm is great when you are assembling cabinet or doing normal house repairs or even building a deck, as it is so tiny. Any normal large drill is big, cumbersome, just not good tool for all cases.
And when you have remote workstation ready to go, it is nice to have dedicated tools for it, charged and all ready to be rolled out, picked to car and go... Be able work that 1-2 hours before recharging. No cords or fuel or anything.
When deciding new power tools for my new job, I called around a few tool shops and asked which brand had the least warranty returns. Milwaukee was the least returned followed by Makita.
There were quite a few 15 year old team red drills and drivers at my last job in a fab shop that were still going strong.
yeah 😂 i have seen more dewalts break then i cak remember the battery comes loose or wont hold a charge meanwhile i use my red tools to.beat things into working again 😂 like i couldnt get my door to unlock so i just used my milwaukee hammer till Chinese lock gave up
Dewalt lost the crown to Milwaukee when Stanley took over (Dewalt).
Black and decker owns Both stanley and Dewalt- and they are now full woke DEI
I burned up too many Milwaukee to buy any more I went to Bosch and it’s lasted way longer still going I’m an electrician
Bosch is a quality tool
Bosch doesn't win performance video races, but it wins in the professional long run...
I burned two devalt drill in six month. Good bye devalt.
I’ve been using the same Bosch batteries for about 8 years. Still working along with my drill, impact, orbital saw and jigsaw. I purchased my brother a Milwaukee fuel impact set for his birthday and it’s definitely more powerful than my Bosch but I doubt the batteries will last as long.
That Milwaukee drill isn’t even FUEL LMAO
@@brycecourtneymusicit's not brushless.
@@brycecourtneymusicI mean come on guys time to admit it . I was a dewalt guy for years and they have dropped the ball . I’ve basically switched to all Milwaukee at this point. Dealt used to have the best hammer/drill so I didn’t care that maybe their impact was a little behind or that the sawzall are absolute dog shit .. but at this point they don’t have a better drill then Milwaukee. Dewalt is done for if you ask me .

@@brycecourtneymusichis point is he's a fan boy
@@terdferguson1736bruh the newest dewalt impact dooks milwaukee. Milwaukee needed dewalts help💯✌️
Have to say as a professional electrical contractor ive had a lot of different brands over the years. I ended up with Milwaukee and have changed all my battery tools to Milwaukee, not because of speed but just the feel and the power. At the end of the day it's what feels good and your budget.
The old Milwaukee was made in Germany and had the best triggers in the industry hands down. Milwaukee then moved ALL of its manufacturing to China and the triggers are awful.
For wood working, I;m sticking to Dewalt. They typically have the best quick change and I can get parts at Lowes and HomeDepot. So I have nothing but Dewalt batteries.
For working on cars, I use the Milwaukee 12V stuff - powerful enough once I break the bolts and fast and compact (can't fit an 18 or '20'V battery. Milwaukee also seems to have more metal working tools. Could be wrong on that...
For profesionals, their easy warranty returns are a must-have! I'm not a pro though, so I prefer Ryobi.
I just upgraded to the Milwaukee fuel line from my old makita set and when I first ran the impact I was blown away by the power. Now I'm going to get the 1/2 inch impact for mechanic tasks
You'll LOVE it. I do.
You went from old Makita to brand new Milwaukee and noticed an improvement? Yes, water is wet and the sky is blue.
The fuel medium power 1/2” impact is incredible. I do structural ironwork and it will torque and un-torque 3/4 structural bolts all day which use a 1&1/4” socket. Phenomenal tool.
Be careful with high torque impact. Those sucker are know to bust off wheel studs while putting lug nuts back on. It's also know to bust nuts loose up to 2200 ft lbs with a forge battery. That's not over exaggerating either.
@@RBOHANNON thats why you use a torque wrench on fasteners. 3-5 ugga duggas isnt very accurate. Lol.
I'm a Milwaukee guy, but I have DeWalt, Makita, Ryobi, Craftsman and Hercules cordless tools in my shop. Anyone who has only one tool type is either a) sponsored, b) very specialized, or c) new to this. I even have a DeWalt Murdermatic 790 radial arm saw in my shop :)
RAS is my favorite tool ever
I get it. Use what gets the job done even if it’s different from what used to do the job
If you have all one brand, then you can have a ton of batteries that work in each tool . You have to charge 5 different brand of batteries
You forgot d) doesn't want to go through the expense of buying multiple of tools with multiple varieties of batteries. It's simply not financially smart.
It's one thing to get corded tools, because there isn't that extra expense of batteries. Being in the trades it sure gets bad when power isn't available for plugging in. Now a generator has to be purchased to run corded tools. So pros and cons everywhere.
I only buy Milwaukee M18. Same impact for teen years of heavy construction use. It's been fantastic.
DeWalt is owned by Stanley Black and Decker 🤮
When i started using Milwaukee, they were only available at professional supply houses. Instead of comparing new stuff,compare some old stuff and Milwaukee wont have ay competition
Personally, all I use is Milwaukee and Makita.
Makita gang here
I committed to Makita years ago, but if I had to start over I would go with Milwaukee. I just think they are better throughout their entire line. Plus I'm ticked that HD committed to Makita years ago, and now they don't carry crap for Makita. My HD doesn't even carry a single makita miter saw. I mostly end up ordering on line now, but it sucks not being able to go into the store and seeing/touching most of their line.
You know, I love watching power tool showdowns just as much as the next guy. But it is frustrating sometimes how the raw strength of a tool is so often deemed as its most important attribute - or even worse, the only important attribute.
I'm something of a jack of all trades, master of none, but more than anything I would consider myself a low voltage technician. In my line of work, I find the granularity of the trigger pressure to be one of the most important factors for an impact, and for that reason, I am personally in the Makita gang - even though I KNOW they're not the most powerful or the fastest.
There are many aspects of my job where I should PROBABLY be using a screwdriver instead, but I feel like I could perform surgery with my Makita impact, so I reach for that nine times out of ten. If I were a framer, or a drywaller, or a roofer, I might feel differently.
I will say however, that if I were a full-time electrician or plumber, I'd probably be very drawn to Milwaukee just because they happen to have some SICK ass specialty tools that cater to those two professions.
@@donaldholden2090 Yeah it's like the towing capacity of trucks for people that never need to tow anything close it. . . Dewalt, Milwaukee etc all have impact guns for steel connections. . . It's not impressive, it's just a selling point for people who don't know better, clever marketing . . .
I had to redo some outlets put into metal studs, done with a Milwaukee fuel impact, and stripped the fuck out of it. When the power behind the tool is exceeds the material being used it's pointless. . . In fact, I drill on the slowest setting with my Dewalt drill whenever going into steel studs because I am much less likely to drop the screws that way. . .

I have the dewalt, but I bought it because of the price point and it’s ability to squeeze in tight spaces. The Milwaukee is small but still bigger than the dewalt, so I not surprised about the performance difference. If I wanted to hog down on a lag I’d just grab a 1/2 inch impact and wreck both of them. Milwaukee is nice but I’ve been pretty well satisfied with dewalt pricing/performance so until they start making complete shit I’ll probably stick with them
Dewalt prices are not much better than Milwaukee. And dewalt lacks power. If you’re a pro, dewalt is low quality. If you’re not trying to spend, go for rigid. Comparable power as dewalt much less money
You forgot the part about Dewalt be American made. I like to employ my neighbors instead of people that want me dead.
@@Searchng man I've been to home depot... If the dewalt is 200 with battery and the Milwaukee is 300 with battery, im going with dewalt. I don't need the extra 2 seconds that badly.

I personally use Milwaukee but dewalt is right up there with it, along with makita. They’re tools, if they make your job easier, they’re doing their job.
interesting. wonder if the results would differ if the dewalt fastener wasn't going through a knot
Oh brother
Looks like it was
its knot!!! 😉
I mean... He's right. If you look at the piece of wood in the part where he says to look at the holes, you can clearly see the knot locations. The spot of the screw for the DeWalt driver is definitely in line with that knot. It's just zoomed in during the test, presumedly to hide that
I agree, been splitting knotted wood all afternoon with the kiddos that shit for sure had an effect….i own dewalt but think Milwaukee is better…would love to see same test again
I bought my Milwaukee tools in 2008. They've been used hard in the HVAC business and look pretty battered, but still work fine. The drill chuck is showing some wear but the batteries and spare batteries have survived except for 2 out of the 6 and one of them is still OK for the light.
Can't go wrong with either. I've always had Milwaukee because that's what I have batteries for.
Get a drill and save your ears. For large lag bolts use a high torque impact driver.
With that high torque drill of yours, you have no chance to save your limbs! Impact driver breaks the torque for you and does the trick saving hands and arms.
@@mishkaulitkin9476 That's why most drills have kickback feature.
Most people also have a small and light drill with 60-90 Nm torque they use for most things that are not a problem to hold back.
The professionals have a second drill with 100+Nm with better handles etc. they can use for the larger stuff
I have Dewalt, Mikita, and Milwaukee tools, they have pros and cons all. Honestly I use my Mikitas most because of the charging speeds, they may be slightly underpowered but I rarely drive 10" Riser lags. I will say I've had trigger failures on two of my Milwaukee tools, the skilll saw and a hammer drill. Upside is we have competition and the B op tools are getting better all the time.
After growing up with my dads old Milwaukee tools and seeing the insides these days through channels like AvE, I just can't justify spending the extra $ for Milwaukee. The same internals with a couple different parts most of the time.
Plus dewalt makes the best consumer impacts on the market right now, and Makita makes a nice grinder.
Mmm...Old Milwaukee. Sounds great right about now.

@@0037kevin between old Milwaukee and coors, or Milwaukee and dewalt? Hahaha
I prefer Milwaukee but Dewalt is really close and I would take it just the same. They’re both really good. I am a professional electrician. Master electrician. I use these tools every single day
I love the brand loyalty folks. Its always been simple for me. Whichever I have the most batteries for, I kept buying. To me, the biggest advantage a tool had was a hand full of batteries that fit it from the rest of the tools I wasn't using.
Battery doesnt get the job done. stop trying to please everyone because you are scared to admit you bought the wrong color
I have a whole set of Ryobi tools that have done me well for the last 2.5 years and recently started getting my Milwaukee set.
The M18 has an additional 1100 IPM (4900 vs 3800) and 350 RPM (3600 vs 3250), but slightly less torque (1700 vs 1825). Max torque shouldn't be much of a factor on a task like this. While specs aren't 100% definitive, this result really shouldn't surprise anyone. The DCF840 may be a slightly better match, it's a bit closer with 4200 IPM. But in tests like this, IPM and speed tends to beat torque.
@chuckgrumble5440 apparently it's a weak minded fangirl butt hurt because her tool brand lost
@@chuckgrumble5440 Yeh the extra torque was maybe a little bit of a factor in this particular test with that knot.
For me the dewalt was the best at the time so now I have all the batteries for them🙂
@jerrodstaviski3711 Dewalt hasn't managed to do it yet no matter how many new impacts they come out with
The mid torque dewalt is 800 breakaway the Milwaukee is 650 so aren't we already there?
Because this is the compact Milwaukee and not a compact Dewalt.
I'm a lineman and the company buys Dewalt tools. When we get a good drill in, we can do about fifteen to twenty poles on a charge, but the triggers have been horrible lately. It's so bad that we are having to send off brand new out of the box drills for warranty, due to faulty triggers.
I feel your pain
Been an absolute Dewalt brand Buyer for decades since the majority of my work is in the carpentry trades. I did over 4 yr work contracts in the Bahamas on a couple of Islands after Hurricane Dorian. my clients supplied my crew w/ the entire line of high end $$$ comercial and industrial grade Milwaukee tools majority of cordless tools. Bottom line? They absolutely sucked and didnt last more than 3 months . I was lucky to get 2 months out of their 18v batteries. The power tools went to shit in the salt air in no time. We went thru over $50k of cordless Milwaukee crap. I ended up bringing my own Dewalt set up cordless tools , table saws , slide compound miter saws, ect... I brought 1/2 of them back in 2021 and still using this same Dewalt tools. The other 1/2 is still back in the Bahamas which I still have clients and jobs still contracted . MILWAUKEE tools suck in salt air. Let that be a warning
Because driver speed doesn't mean anything for durability
Those were all brushed tools and pre lithium though.
No, you are incorrect in that statement. Milwaukee tools suck for the carpentry trades Period!! That is a absolute obvious fact
Your vid just came up after I watched the Torque Test Channel's vid on the $55, $60, and $80 Gen 2 HyperTough impact SETS (tool, batt, charger) at Wally World. They are killin' it!
They are certainly offering a good value
I imagine you might be biased considering a sponsor of your videos appears to be Milwaukee!
I know you're a liar and are making a judgement based on a free sign Home Depot have me when the Milwaukee rep left. Truth is I don't care about brand. That's your issue
Dude he put the DeWalt screw in a knot so don't listen to his bulls**t it's obviously completely an unfair test
No need to get testy. It was a reasonable comment based on something in plain view. First one to lose their cool, and all.....
@@ToolswithSoAlzWeird to accept and then hang up a brand's old sales material (aka garbage) in your workspace if you don't have any kind of bias toward them.
You need to imagine some glasses brother, because he’s got a dewalt sticker on the back wall also lol… by your logic, wouldn’t that mean a sponsor of his videos would also be dewalt? 🤔
Impacts for woodwork, classic case of the wrong tool for the wrong job.
This would be more landscaping and timber frame for which I think it would be exactly what those guys use. But for furniture and fine wood work a twist drill might be a better choice yeah. There are the lighter settings
And why is that ?
as a guy who used dewault for 10 years and recently switched to fuel milwaukee... trust me, the milwaukee is much better in every aspect
And NOT owned by Stanley Black and Decker
Was it really surprising? Milwaukee is huge in the automotive and collision industry, very tough and strong in my opinion
For anybody new to tools my best advice is to look at the brands full list of what they sell of other tools and packout options. All drills/impacts still get the job done pretty much but brand matching really matters due to batteries cause them bitches ain’t cheap
A professional contractor really does not care about all-out speed. Pros look for the tool that drives the fastener completely, is durable, priced right, and the battery lasts decently.
Speed is irrelevant, since it's usually just a matter of gear reduction. A case can be made for more reduction and less speed being the better tool.
A professional knows time is money. A Faux-fessional knows excuses are fun to make
Personally, my biggest concern is durability and battery quality/pricing. So that being said, I am mostly in Milwaukee fuel, but either DeWalt or Milwaukee is fine for me, not to mention Makita, but DeWalt and Milwaukee beat Makita on availability and special sales. The special sales is why I'm currently mostly Milwaukee, I love DeWalt just as much. Ridged too, but they change their stuff so much, I don't want to invest in their battery tools.
When it's a millisecond difference, i see your point. This however will add up after driving several screws
Which means I'm not only losing time, but working much harder because someone has to stand there holding pressure on the trigger & the tool.
I worked for years under someone with crap tools. Now that i have my own good equipment, my work is less frustrating and completed faster, which customers notice.
@@djaa7 I get it. But to say one tool is better after driving 1 screw is hilarious. Odds are that both will be about the same speed with an average deck screw...which is 90% of normal use.
As an electrician I care about speed. I work pretty fast so I like to get the job done quick and I will go with the fastest tool that gets that job done. An example is when I’m running pipe i have to drill the struts to the wood to hold the pipe. Being on a 12 ft ladder all day driving screws gets tiring so I’d rather have something that drills the screws in faster, it would be less fatigue.
That Milwaukee does 1,700 in/lbs while the DCF850 does 1,825 in/lbs. Goes to show that the marketing wank from companies doesn't always tell the whole story. Nothing like real world results.
Yeh, torque and speed are not the sane
@vinceking7878 with impacts, speed is the biggest factor when it comes to available torque.
the dewalt was drilling through a knot if you notice
Because you believe wood is two-dimensional
Ma'am it's a 6X6, and that's the end of the knot. Andi, you make these excuses because you know absolutely nothing about tools, but the name on the side.

Dewalt any day of the week. That half inch distance is a lifesaver in attics
All that power but my favorite impact, the one I use most is a 12v milwaukee.
Light on the belt, fits in tight spaces, brushless lasts all day and enough power 9/10 times.
As a general contractor who uses both, I must point out that this isn't apples to apples. Milwaukee drills run at a higher RPM, which is why they drill/screw faster.
I sink those 5"1/8 GRKs with a 12v not much slower than that. Were at tje point where power is secondary.
As my Dewalts broke I replaced them with Milwaukee. All the shop guys had em when I rolled my toolbox in… I know why now 😂
Complete opposite here, i hate replacing the tools from millwaukee because they keep breaking. By all means dont biy the circle saw, trigger problems with the last 4 of them. I own most every brand 18v btw.
@@J2Shay odd.. I’ve beat the snot out of my Milwaukee and there great. Dewalt had the board in the trigger that always kept going bad for me. Warrantied 3 of them. Atomic brushless 3/8 was the tool and my batteries after 2 years screws started falling out of the bottom there’s 4 small screws.
@@justinmann3617just the opposite here I've seen more Milwaukee Tools breakdown on the job than DeWalt
@justinmann3617 thanks for the heads up on the dewalt. Was thinking of converting to their newer higher end 18v tools. Only 18v that are lasting for me are the flex brand from lowes, the tools are durrable but the batteries leak and dont last. Theres issues with every combo kit i guess.....
Owned DEWALT for 20 years never had an issue!
All my coworkers had to get their Milwaukee’s in there, ridges replaced, and I used to giggle because mine just like Timex watch they just keep taking and taking
Milwaukee triggers are u reliable and the battery connection gets flogged out with only small plastic pointed bits holding it tight, after a few months use they get loose and you need to hold the battery on to keep the connection to tool.
Ok
Did carpentry for 5 years. (Unfortunately had to move on from that job.) We had a few different drills. Ryobi, maukita, milwakee, dewalt and rigid. The impact AND the regular drill from Milwaukee we used had the longest battery life and felt the lightest out of each. Granted we probably didnt have the lightest most compact version of each brand. And im not sure of the pricing of everything. I think ryobis might have been the cheapest. I'm not really a brand guy but Milwaukee has some good tools man.
Impact drivers are one of the few tools where Milwaukee is still in the lead….not sure how dewalt has industry leading impact wrenches but can’t seem to catch up with Milwaukee for impact drivers
So don't worry about the knot that the dewalt is going threw. I hate people

Milwaukee makes great tools, and they're not afraid to charge you for them. Dewalt makes almost as good tools, for far less.
Milwaukee is that much more, actually. now, Snap-on makes terrible power tools and charges absurd amount of money
Nothing defeats flexvolt
Milwaukee is always going to outperform dewalt, but dewalt is still a good brand, with cheaper cost to entry. Cost-to-performance, I go for dewalt.
Brother, I am doubtful about which combo to buy, one is the DeWalt Flexvolt Advantage 20V Max and the other is Milwaukee M18 4 generation, which of the two combos do you recommend I buy? They are for rough use
Milwaukee because the impact is a lit better and the hammer drill is a lot lighter and more powerful
@@ToolswithSoAlz Thank you very much brother
Anyone notice the dewalt was going through a knot, and the milwaulke was not.
Lol! Excuses are fun to make
There was no know, your dewault brand just sucks
dewalt is geiy
You put way more pressure on the milwaukee than the dewalt
He did that’s why he had the glove so you couldn’t see he wasn’t using any pressure like he was with the other
you must not have seen that pushing down doesn't help. and I'm not trolling. pushing down only puts more strain on the motor.
Ladies, I know how a screw works and you don't.
Exactly
There’s probably about a 200$ price difference as well. So as a DIY at home impact works just fine for me. Dewalt has always been fine enough for me. Both are great though pending what your doing.
As someone who works in plumbing construction I find Milwaukee powertools to just be the best. Pipe sheers, band saws,
Sawzalls, holehog, vacuums, threaders, press tools, etc. all on the m18 platform. It’s pretty convenient. Bosch makes really nice reciprocating saws.
Milwaukee keep going forward when in reverse sometimes, drives me nuts . I drove a 10" structural screw right through the width of a 2x4 & wall sheeting before it stopped. For delicate work i grab the Dewalt but the Milwaukee is the go to
Dewalt runs at the same speed as the Milwaukee till it hits that knot.
Excuses are fun to make when you can't handle what you saw
To be fair, there’s a reason why we often don’t accept the results of just one test. You need at least two runs to set a land speed record. 3 reps would have definitively put this to rest.
@benhart16 Ma'am we test these live and usually in front of 20,000 or more people. The results don't change
@@ToolswithSoAlz I don't think you understand the comment you replied to lol
@matthewprather189 Ma'am you're letting your arrogance expose your ignorance and ignorance is all you have
The benefit is I can find my Dewalt in low light.
Skill issue
I use a drill driver for long screws anyway
The reason I use Milwaukee is because of their tool selection. No other brand has the range of “specifically” battery plumbing tools that I need…. Or really any for that matter
I have been a Dewalt fan for the longest time and slowly switching to Milwaukee, I got the atomic and fuel 12v set and the M had better features like 3 selectable speed ranges and option for disabling hammer. Dewalt on the other hand had a better chuck that you can replace the bits with one hand.
Milwaukee hits harder but also rattles itself apart sooner
Ok
tell that to my 6 year old Milwaukee drill and impact set that's been kicking ass since day one , i am even using the same batteries that came with it !
Bruh I had that shirt in 2003 🔥😂
Everyone did. If you lived in the suburbs, they were mailed to you regularly
I love how emotional and dramatic Milwaukee fanboys get
I’m not surprised used a dewalt to loosen lug nuts was doing most by hand. Switched to Milwaukee only time it has trouble is when they are torqued on over 150. Cause it has no trouble breaking loose 150.
My Dewalt compact quickly broke, not even close to the performance of the XR.
I’ve worked construction for over 15 years. Mostly in the refineries. 99 percent of the time it’s all Dewalt. Bandsaws, grinder, impact, sawzall, you name it. And we treat them power tools with no respect lol and they keep going. Milwaukee feels cheap.
As a guy who uses tools from both companies Milwaukee and Dewalt , i can say that Dewalt and Milwaukee are the best companies in the world .
Now is he left or right handed because your main hand is pushing more pressure
Um...pushing down does nothing.
@@ToolswithSoAlz huh pressure helps
No, I have already proven it
Pressure would help if he was using bits prone to cam out, otherwise it just causes extra friction driving the threads against what you just cut
I accidentally bought that little Milwaukee, thinking it was the Fuel version. I then bought the fuel version, thinking it was better, but it's heavier and doesn't feel as comfortable. The Fuel IS a bit more powerful, but I actually like that little compact better. Nice tool!
The air inflator is pretty awesome too.
Ya, I knew dewalt was junk. Every Milwaukee I've used just keeps running.
How about re-running the test where one of them isn't going right through a knot lol. Obviously that's going to drastically slow it down.
Aw your tool brand lost and you're having a hard time dealing with it. I feel sorry for you. Guess what, we did a rematch and your brand still lost. Dry those tears
I have mostly DeWalt. They've built many homes, garages and remodels. I also have the Milwakee Drill and Jigsaw. Can't say i like either better than DeWalt. But they're definitely up there in quakity. I also have Ryobi stuff...they're fine, but they miss details (light only gies on when pulling the trigger, not as easily changing blades, fine adjustments aren't there)...quality is definitely 'homeowner' vs pro. But if its what you can afford, great! I use all 3 brands. I lean towards DeWalt... but again, Mikwaukee is great too.
I got the Milwaukee one in a kit with a drill two batteries and a charger for $189.99 (home
Depot going on right now in case anyone wants it) and it’s great.
Awesome
I don't really look at speed when I'm buying something like that. What do I have batteries for, what is the consumer opinion, how durable is the tool.
Ok
I'm curious what they would be like versus a porter cable. Mind you in have no real preference, but since I have porter cable batteries I go with what I have.
I might have some Porter Cable lying around somewhere
@@ToolswithSoAlz that would be awesome to see, but dont feel you have to go out of your way or anything. It's just a curiosity of mine
Just got through watching a battle of battery powered drills ( two drills attached at the chuck bouncing around on the ground at full speed) and there were about 10 in all, the cheapest of all brands to the death and Milwaukee came out on top. They do make some really good products. Cant remember where DeWalt fell in the bracket.
my boss has a fuel impact driver, expected it be like my dewalt but holy hell that thing snaps adapters and bolts like nothing else
I’m a Milwaukee guy but for personal use I have dewalt because it’s cheaper the last dewalt impact I bought was 129 I have the luxury of being able to buy what I want with my company and my work truck is outfitted with all Milwaukee
Fastest doesn’t mean best. Which one has better longevity with daily use? Or still goes strong when it falls from the second story right onto the driving bit? That’s black and yellow all day.
I do like Milwaukee but I’ve been let down in the past.
That Milwaukee is a throwaway when it breaks, individual parts not available and a lot of them have cheap bearings now so repeat test with same drills in a few years.
Excuses are fun to make when your tool brand loses
@@ToolswithSoAlz The loss is when the tool dies and it can't be fixed, colors don't matter except in the pile of broken tools that go to the dump.
If that's the lie you need to tell yourself
A slower speed will produce more torque, enabling the battery to last longer, also it will drive a bigger screw in. Depends what you are looking for. Makita tools last a long time, and in the UK are cheaper
None of what you said is true. Well, maybe Miss Kita is cheaper. The rest is just garbage. The longer it takes a tool to do a job, the more that tool builds heat, the more friction is exerted on the internal components. We should all know by now that heat and friction destroy tools.
@@ToolswithSoAlz Rubish! Slower speed puts less strain so on the motor this = less heat, slower speed is kinder on the battery, meaning it won't have to work so hard, again this = less heat. Been using battery drills/impact drivers for years, if you over stress/strain them, they burn out quick. Example: try cycling up a hill in the wrong gear, or put too small a battery in a car and see how long it lasts.
No ma'am you just don't know or understand tools
I switched from makita to that Milwaukee. Love it but don’t like the battery release button. Also I feel the speed on full squeeze is a little too fast for self tapping screws so I have to be mindful not to go max speed.
I love the comments. Can tell most guys work in a very different environment than I do. I get paid piece rate and can go home when I'm done so the better performing tool is something I'm always interested in and trying to shave my times down. The difference between me and another guy who doesn't really care at the end of a year can be about $15-25,000. Any amount of time I can shave off is worth it to me.
That wasn't even the top of the line impacts from Milwaukee. I'd really like to see how much faster the FUEL version is.
As a Hispanic construction worker, I appreciate your existence and your videos
Thank you
I've owned both brands.
They both have pluses and minuses, just like EVERY other product under the sun.
I currently have Milwaukee stuff.
Love my drill, hate the chuck and the batteries. But, when it works it's awesome.
I also have the medium impact driver.
Gotta say, that's actually a beast.
But, whatever you like, you buy and use.
I have to say I believe that Milwaukee makes the superior tool. I use Milwaukee in automotive applications and I love the M18 and M12 platforms.
dewalt always had higher advertised rating then milwaukee. but milwaukee has always been more true to its advertising
Had an opportunity to buy a 5ah Milwaukee Hammer drill driver combo in the case knowing the diversity and quality of tools i was opening myself into.
Do a comparison with Rigid. They have the best warranty. Being middle of the road tool for professionals, I’d have to say it’s the best bag for your buck. I have Ryobi and Milwaukee, but now only buy Rigid.
I will
Most of my colleagues reckon milwaukee is hands down the best. Yet the only tools we've ever broken are the milwaukee ones (we use a mixture of both) .... As for me, no real preference other than than the direction switch seems to be more easily knocked on the milwaukee.
I work with Milwaukee tools. They are very good tools.
For me however, budget tools work good too.
To be fair all the previous dewalt models dont set a high bar except for durability.
yeah at this point i have like 5+ battery chargers for different brands (it’s ridiculous). but it helps when you know you won’t use the tool every day (i’ll just get the cheap one) (any of the 10 other brands will do) if i use it daily (i’ll get the red).
