The DeWalt is designed and packaged with the 8ah powerpack. Id like to see this again with the 8ah powerpack. Surprisingly despite what DeWalt's website says about the 8ah, it outperforms the 9ah flexvolt and the 5ah PS
Thanks for the view and comment. Do you have a link for the 8AH PowerPack VS 9AH Flexvolt VS 5AH Powerstack? I saw 1 video that went into detail and the 9AH FV still came out on top.
@@ChristianElectrician if you go to the 3:28 mark it will show a graph for specifically the dcd1007. The 8ah powerpack puts out 1497 watts with the dcd1007 more than any other battery including the 9ah and 15ah flex.
@@4th_Disciple That's true, however I'm referring to why Flex mildly outperformed in the testing. For example we don't compare 18volts to 12volts. But when we do we take into consideration the difference in voltage.
@@Unbendable74 Their turbo hammer drill is dying entirely by the thousands within its first year of release, and all their batteries leak out all their black battery acid gel for the whole first 2 years as well. I've had multiple of their 5.0 batteries leak and die in under 3 months from new with light DIY use. Not sure if their other tools are having issues, but I'd bet they are. Definitely a rough launch but they'll get it figured out. Their tools are definitely nice feeling, although very heavy. When on a nice 50-60% off deal, they're well worth a try.
People are going after the next flashy thing lol. Always gotta wait a few generations. DeWalt, Milwaukee and Makita are the standard. Flex has got a long way to go
@ChristianElectrician seriously!? I'm very surprised about your answer, knowing, based on this video, you're comparing with equity. Honestly, it's hard to believe, What is all the hype about it?! We are talking about about 5,5 or 6. IT IS 8 Ah !! expectedly filled with the newest today's possible technology. I saw a video in the past about the 5 Ah PS compared to the classic ones : 5, 6 and 8Ah the 5 PS performed better than 6 Ah, but the REGULAR 8Ah did better than 5 PS Can you give me the link to your test video on the PP 8Ah if you did one? Thank you 🫡
@@Observer2225 check out my live stream video where I thoroughly talk about the Powerpack 8AH and I have 2 shorts where I test the 8ah PP with DCF860 vs the Milwaukee 2953 Impact with the 6AH Forge battery. I have a 9ah flexvolt which is better than the 8ah battery and I even have a 12ah which seems to perform worse. In short, the PP battery is new in technology but not for power reasons, it just has more longevity as far as charge cycles go. The 9ah flexvolt is still superior. Just search my channel. Thanks for the view!
@ChristianElectrician just saw your short vid of 860 vs 2953 Did you switch the tools to the other hand to take into account the human factor/error ? Knowing left and right can impossibility exerce the exact same vertical force simultaneously on both.
Are you serious? When you just need to turn the impact until the hammer strikes, even 1.5 ah will cope with such a task, but on a drill you need to pull and 8 ah will give almost 2 kilowatts of power. And 5 will not be able to give out the same. Never compare the impact and the drill. The operating principles are fundamentally different.@@ChristianElectrician
These are all lithium pouch cells, which i mentioned. There is no 6ah pouch cell. I do have a 8ah Forge and Powerpack but no 8ah Is made by FLEX that is equivalent. This is the best we can do at this time. The Dewalt is a good drill, my testing definitely shows it.
If Flex was sold in Homedepot instead of Lowes I'd probably gone with Flex instead of m18. (My) Lowes is terrible. Flex had some good sales and promos but the displays weren't out there. Nothing was in stock. Associates didn't know anything. Searching their website sucks. I tried to go buy a Flex tool deal I saw on youtube and just had a terrible experience compared to doing the same thing with Milwaukee at Homedepot. Dewalt and Flex are great power tools. But I think just waiting on Milwaukee sales is the way to go. Those are the best tools on the market m12/m18 on sale.
Just for example. I just got the gen4 hammer drill for $114 when I got 2 6AH high output batteries and a fast charger for $154. $269 total for the deal but I can "hack it" and return the batteries/charger and get $154 back and keep the drill for only $114. I don't plan on returning the batteries/charger but that is an option.
@@BuffaloWarrior7 I agree. I got all my Milwaukee Fuel stuff on flash deals over the past 3 years. The REAL great deals only come around every 6 months or so for a couple days, but when they do it's unreal. I got all my Milwaukee stuff in giant kits for about 70% off.
I came from the trash can Ridgid to FLEX. When i first used FLEX, i was destroying a lot of screws and materials because i wasn't accustomed to that unleashed power. FLEX just makes the playing field more competitive.
On a budget ill always recommend ryobi drills drivers impacts for jack of all trades and reliable and master of none. They never let me down. If u want power i recommend Milwaukee. Dewalt isnt bad i dont just like them personally. The good thing about ryobi is when u put a larger and largwr battery you can get more foot pounds .Basically when u get a more powerful battery for ryobi impacts they usually put out more foot pounds that is noticeable. High recommend ryobi if u are on a budget and need decent tools. But if u have money i recommend Milwaukee or makita. 3rd id recommend dewalt or hilti
Milwaukee and Dewalt are the most innovative on the market. They are the top tool platforms for tradesmen. Nobody is using Ryobi on job sites. They aren't for construction, but for homeowners or diy. Makita used to be amazing, not really innovative and falling behind. Dewalt is the most American owned. They have 60v tools and got all the power you need. Can't go wrong with Milwaukee or Dewalt
IF I Know MILWAUKEE they will come out with a GEN 5 HAMMER DRILL next year ALONG with a new COMPACT IMPACT WRENCH and a 5th GENERATION IMPACT DRIVER to COUNTER the DEWALT XR DCF 860 and I HEAR FLEX IS going to come out with a new QUICK EJECT With HALO LIGHT and 2600 inch pounds
that ok by me but they are not selling , three people three store not selling that much. sorry to say this flex is not king, ill stick with Milwaukee or second best dewalt. anyway have fun with your video / it nice.
They got 3rd here. So it was pretty straightforward with how it performed and what was on paper. Thanks for the view and comment. All 3 of these tool companies are doing great in today's construction industry.
Wheres makita xgt? Or bosch Or metabo Why do these videos always exclude most professional brands, i guess Milwaukee and DeWalt winning depends on being the only competition
FLEX won this challenge. These three tend to be the best in the market across all power tools and are leading in innovation. That's what I see on the job site and the data shows this (typically). This doesn't mean that the tool brands you mentioned don't have power tools that are on par with these, they are just not innovating like these top brands. FLEX is a new challenger, and they are doing great.

Thank you very much. I truly try my best to present all tools in the fairest manner. Thanks for the comment and view!
I don't know if you can go wrong with any of those drills. Depends upon what battery platform you currently are in.
I think Bosch has or had the best ranking drill with that bi turbo motor.

One thing not acknowledged is the Flex is 24 volts. That gives it an advantage also.
I think the real comparison is the price bracket these drills are in and not the voltage?

Why not use the battery that the dewalt drill came with ? Its optimized to use the tab less 8ah battery
Nah, there is nothing special about that battery. I literally talked about why it's not in the video.
@@ChristianElectrician🙄
I like how right above your head. There appears to be a cross made out of 2x4 with the number three on the top.

All those drills have anti-kickback now thanks to Bosch which their GSB 1330 was left out of the test
Very reliable comparison 👍
Would be very interesting to know how Dewalt would perform with the new powerpack-8Ah
I tried out the DCF860 with the new PP battery and there was no noticeable difference between that and the 5AH Powerstack.

Leaving turbo on the flex takes some power out of it for the lag bolt test.
That may be true. I'll check it out and make a short.
@ChristianElectrician great video brother. Keep doing what you're doing.
flex is 24v so has a big advantage , it would be interesting so see how well they would do if they were 18 volt
They innovatived that technology, I for one like it.
If my aunt had nuts she'd be my uncle
Put the right size battery in the DeWalt. Not a smaller one.

Go with any of the three brands and you won't be disappointed. If you have tools on that platform, go with them.
Image if the dewalt had a 6 ah stacked lithium like the other two have, its keeping up with a lesser battery
True
Look at the batteries on each😂
The DeWalt is using a smaller battery 😱
Makes a huge difference 👍
Did you even watch the beginning of my video where I went over that?
Dewalt has a 5 ah powerstack.
I think it time for me to get the dcd1007
Maybe the flex and dewalt are to high geared on the first test. Maybe speed 2 would be faster

Eric, I can't wait. Gotta love it!

Please everyone, please please stop buying flex. I like when it sits on the shelf and I get it on clearance for 60-70% off! 😂
Me too 😂😂
gotta love my usd99 flex turbo kit (2batt + charger)
Your guy on the timer was off a couple times
He definitely tried his best. I'll try and incorporate a timer that is 100% accurate in the future.
Really it all depends on what brand you already have batteries for lol
In this day an age, you are absolutely correct
Flex it's same that Milwaukee
Flex, Dewalt then Milwaukee overall
Sorry I meant that Flex and Milwaukee are made by Hong Kong companies
TTI owned Milwaukee and Chevron owned Flex
As a plumber, im rocking the red. But, if i was in a different trade.... Man this would be a tough choice..
Definitely a great choice.
Christian electrician showing us how things are done in the real world. Great video my dude

The Flex chuck on the spade bit wasn’t right is why it didn’t do well.
Nope, I tested it 3 times and it stalled out on the 1st take.
Looked like the bit came out after it stopped
