Needed more practice sharpening chains. Dull chains bounce instead of cutting. And RPMs, or rippems here, lessen the box bouncing around. There, case solved for the next uncardboarding episode.
Dr; “How did you sustain the damage to your testicles?” AvE; “We’ll, I was opening a DeWilt drill driver box with my chainsaw and it suddenly and unexpectedly flew towards me.” Dr; whispers to nurse, “get at psychiatrist down here STAT”
Makita with the glow in the dark piece on the impact, now thats forward thinking. I dont like the color yellow, nor red, but i do think yellow dewalt tools look better and feel better in the hand than milfuckee
DeWalt also has a locking collar on the offset drill attachment, which retains the bit when pulling out... The Milwaukee doesn't, so the bit gets stuck in the material and pulls out of the tool, definite oversight on Milwaukees part. Nice review👍
I miss tools that didn’t all look like rejected transformer ideas, getting lit up in the rain pushing the go button separated the men from the boys... & the apparently 57 other blue haired things that just piss me off with insisting I play along with their batshitcrazyness that I flat refuse
This man risks life and limb to simply give us his thoughts on the tools that make our lives easier!!! The dedication to his craft, and the harrowing risks he must endure…….it truly makes me appreciate him all the more!!
@@ericgoldman7533 I dont think i must have been the only one here who thought AvE had opened up his thumb and was letting some of the life juice out :)
If you use the extension cord plugged into the lights to wrap around the box it will lock it down tight on your bench keep the Jeezless thing from falling on the floor.
Off topic question? Can we get a reupload of the christmas story again this year? I know its weird but its part of my christmas routine. Go to work, go to dinner with family, come home to my single bedroom condo, watch youtube, watch the christmas video, inject 20cc of the finest mexican tar, nod out. (that last bit is a joke) (I dont nod out)
Love how Ave rates the tools on build quality and components rather than American RU-vid idiots rating them on how many thousands of a second they save you driving a screw. Big fan from the UK, learned a lot.👍
The BOX is Damaged...not the tool. They don't care about the box. Captain Ahab has a hook for a hand so, when did the cardboard BOX become important? They only use packing tap on it to hold it together or have the tool on display sans box.
I just want you to know. I run a small firearm manufacturing company and everytime I am prototyping a new machine gun I wear your Achtung! Carefuling in process hoodie and my milling machine behaves better. I just thought you might enjoy knowing that you are a big part of the process. Thanks 😊
This is one of my favorite channels to watch. The comedic ways of reviewing power tools are excellent. Keeps a smile on my face and trust the opinion of the quality of the tools. Love your videos never stop.
To answer your question, this is exactly the type of BOLTR that I want to see. A job well done, the facts tell the story. You need more Canadian kopecs to do what the channel needs, I rather you keep things transparent and I'll just buy more stickers
My night was made when I saw AVE put a teardown video up! Keep it up, doesn't matter if it is a red, blue, yellow, green, or orange tool brand but tear apart, then reassemble, then TEST! Love it
Can you do a BOLTR on a FERREX branded drill. Aldi's sells them for cheap and they have like a 2 year warranty. Glad to see you are back with us and in top form. Hug the rest of the Ave family for me.
Must be the Canadian way to open packages with a Chain Saw. Really like the small Bosch saw as well. Must be related to Peg. Thanks for the videos, always a treat.
I'm a kitchen installer. Multi head drill is my most used tool. I went through all Brand's and types. This little DeWalt is by far best overall. It's a pleasure to use and incredibly light.
i work in radio, i do it all from electrical to millwork. so I've stolen some of your tools for studio building and repair, real nice for getting in tight behind a rack or mounting cable trays under MDMF desks! do you run other 12V delwalt tools or is this the only 12v you got?
That stand up was smooth as F. As per your question for us video. I bought my DeWalt and Mac 3/8s and bit driver almost specifically because of the direction switch
I've had this 703 now for almost a year and it has some serious power for how small of a tool it is. I'm more than a DIYer but it's perfect for the basic DIY feller
Direction switch placement is crucial when pulling drywall screws with a nut buster socket. No need to dig the mud out of the Phillips sluts, the nut buster grips the outer head. Using pliers in the non dominant hand, grab the now freed tire ventilation device, reverse direction and clear the socket for next screw. Hit reverse switch again. 5 per minute or more.
@@jakekunkel6955 he is basically saying use a plier to dig the head of the screws out by pressing down the surrounding drywall, and then force the nutbuster onto the exposed head and reverse out the screw. Guy trying to mimic AvE the motor mouth's speech pattern but didn't realize that shit won't fly irl.
That bent-chuck dingus reminds me of a film I once saw at a bachelor party where a pizza delivery guy showed up at an all-girl pajama sleepover and...well...you know the drill.
I loved everything about the Milwaukee except the Forward/reverse switch. I love the sheet rock screw gun style grip wrap your hand around the backside they even put the finger grooves and the knuckle protector that Has the magnet whenever I’m installing hardware or door knobs etc. I keep all the little fasteners on that magnet.
Hay Farstener thanks for bleeding yourself for this review. Much appreciations. And agreed, still got my DeWalt 20v drill/driver from 7yrs ago, Black Friday $100 special, not brushless either. Has taken some beatings and still is a great drill.
We just need to appreciate the fact that you are destroying your workbench for us makes me feel happy. I've started with the Milwaukee battery line, but I think if you buy Milwaukee, Makita or Dewalt, you just can't go wrong. All those brands will get the job done, one is better with the saw, other better with the drill, the other better with a impact driver. The battery line you use will be the main reason why you'd buy a tool, but after seeing this I got a bit of a crush on Dewalt ❤️
I changed from Bosch to Makita, partly because Bosch quality dropped, but also to switch up to 18V. Now I have mostly all portable tools I need in one format. I see that there is good availability of battery adaptors so that you are really only constrained by choice of voltage. In any case, I've found that Amazon has 3rd party Makita type batteries that work just fine.
Bosch has a version of this called "flexiclick" in both 12V and 20V. Only the 12v model has a stackable 90 degree, although maybe it will fit on the 20V model, also for the 20V model there is a hammer drill gearbox available separately, much like the Black + Decker Matrix/ craftsman Bolt-On. I've had the 2nd gen matrix for a few years now, and have torn up pallets to make crates with it, and other jobs and found it to be quite awesome, since a lot of tools have essentially the same motor just different gearboxes, and for the ones that are seldom used the space is more valuable than special jigsaw features for example if you are not a wood worker. Also working at a friends place it is nice to have basically a whole shop in a small bag for all the "little things" she didn't mention before you showed up. It is too bad they are using less metal on the chucks with each version, and using the 2ng gen amazon reviews and listing with the updated 3gen tool so I don't know what if any improvements have been made, or if it is just cost cutting.
He finally figured out his Husky Rancher saw works infinitely better with the bar right-side-up. AvE obviously pays full attention to comments where he's told; "you're doing it wrong!"
Good job on the review!! I could tell right off the get go when I heard the thumping while you were drilling the first hole with the spade bit... oops!!! He hit a screw!! Time to do some sharpening! LOL!! Having been a contractor for over 20 yrs. I've done the same thing myself... more than once I might add😁
When using a chainsaw to open boxes on the bench it should be used upside down. That way the chain teeth push the box forward into the pile of tools and parts instead of pulling it off the bench. Of course the teeth don’t cut good running backwards but they still work on cardboard in sort of a stone axe sort of way.
Nooo speed and power, he needs a 6ft blade and gear that sucker up to over come the inertia of getting the box moving, just ease the saw through the box, bench, leg, arms with ease, the blood will stop eventually
When I was getting my first drill set last year I wanted to make sure I got something good that'd last me. Went with the Dewalt Drill + Impact set, made in 'merica version. Haven't been happier, it's a very solid set.
Great channel, very entertaining & informational at the same time, also can you make a video on those adjustable power supplies & how they charge batteries, that would be something id like to learn, thank you
Other than that plastic gearbox front case, looks like a quite well made tool by modern standards. I think Milwaukee dominating the public consciousness has pushed DeWalt step up their game.
I had the old DW XRP tools, they had high quality motors spur cut gears etc. The company went in a slump producing crap for the DIY market for a while. I have inherited a set of 18-20 volt tools and am pleasantly surprised. The impact driver has an electronic 3 position torque limiter, It increases my throughput and reduces bit wear.
All they need to do now is make their tool in a colour that matches my Ferrari, not my Lamborghini. I don’t like getting jobsite mud on the charging bull.
@@andrewfrancis3591 Torque limiters are a must, not just for impacts but for drills as well. You get your bit wedged into a robertson square drive and forget to drop your torque, next thing you know the screw is halfway through the 2x4 and your wrist has cammed out. That's an expensive oopsy if you live here in the states.
Every time I've looked the Dewalt 12 volt models (current incarnation, not the one from 20+ years ago) in Home Depot, they've generally seemed a bit better designed than the Milwaukee M12 line. And I own an M12 drill.
My man's technique was questionable but his commitment is unwavering. Some duct tape and super glue should do the trick. Try to keep the red stuff on the inside! 😉
(Stern 60's voice) "Maybe you can spot how this accident could have been prevented. The safety minded employee always uses a circular saw to open boxes. The right tool for the right job."
Amazing RU-vidr the content is great, the comments are even better, and the witt is the best. Your videos have been involved and extremely informative. I only only wish I were 30 years younger an in good health, that way I could put the product reviews to use.
I'm not sure if OSHA would like you opening a cardboard box with a petrol chainsaw indoors. But as long as you filter it through a cigarette you'll be fine.
Nice vidja as usual. Winters comin, we need more caveman tv if you find the time for stokin a fire. Also, I’d love to see a VFD tear down if you can get your hands on one
Had the Milwaukee one for two years this xmas, the switch does surely suck! Not minty at all, I treat her nice ( no big bits) I will be putting it in my back up tool box and I’ll be getting the dewalt just for the bloody switch!
As much as I hate to use it, these install drivers are great for what they’re designed for. Keeps pipe jockeys like me from breaking easy to break stuff that goes together with screws
you asked before if we thought you should give tool recommendations - This is the best way .. and I think you did ... you could tell in your voice during the teardown and use that you liked it.
@@Curlyim2 I too want to switch from Makita to DeWalt but have yet to find durable adapters that don't have crap conductors/contacts. I am a service plumber and fragile tools are not an option.
Bosch did a similar thing with the digital direction control on some of their home gamer tools. It was so frustrating that it timed out and went back to forwards after 30 seconds.
Ya thats just a stupid idea to have digital direction switch. If you want digital power settings, sure...i guess, but leave the regular analog direction switch like the m12 stubby impact wrench and makita impact driver.
As soon as you started that chain saw, all I could hear in my head was the old Hulk Hogan theme song "Real American" by Rick Derringer. But for some reason it was Bryan Adams singing it...weird
You should take a look at the Bosch version of this, the GSR12V-FCB22. It's 25% lighter, about 30% more powerful, smaller, includes two batteries, and is generally cheaper (though the price varies wildly for some reason depending on where and when you buy it; I picked it up for $150). I'm a DeWalt guy for 18/20V tools, but I prefer Bosch for 10.8/12V.
I went down to the local university to do a little machining, recently. In their scrap metal bin, they had mostly tool steel and 2024 Aluminum. If you ever want to train kids in machining, you want easy to cut metals as to not dull the bits or break the taps. Corruption in the shop leadership is out of control!
i know a feller who teaches aviation maintenance at the local college, he mentioned something similar. i dunno all the details, but i guess the 'approved' suppliers were out of the cheaper chinesium steel, so rather than put in a request to order from somewhere else (which apparently isn't a big deal since it usually gets approved same day) the guy in charge of ordering material just ordered a bunch of expensive abrasion/drill resistant steel that just ended up in the scrap bin. then the scrap bins disappeared for a week until they reappeared empty.
I recently turned cast iron for the first time. Ran the first piece at my favorite speed for mild steel. If you like sparks, it was quite satisfying! Pure fire show.
I still have the original festool t15. Interesting since the patent expired all these equivalent companies producing a similar tool. Thanks for the video and thanks for sharing.
Wow. I've normally gone team red because they typically are better than the Dewilts. But for once, Dewilt wins. Neat! Now I just need to develop an adapter plate so I can let my red batteries drive my yellow tool.
With 18V, no problem (but increasing weight and especially tool height a fair bit). However, converting a 10.8V in-handle battery to connect to a slide-underneath-the-handle tool isn't going to be compact or ergonomic in any way, shape or form.
