CAT DX13 VS Milwaukee

Is the CAT DX13 with the Graphene battery a better drill for the same money as the Milwaukee M18 2904?
I dyno'd the DX12 (DX11) and DX13 against the 2904.
The DX11 is the same as the DX12 but without the hammer function.

Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" ru-vid.comUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.

Привет Всем! Я с уверинастью скажу Вам что Cat очень достойный инструмент! Я имею в работе метабо девольт милуоки! Разницы в работе и мощности не ощутил! В руках Cet сидит даже приятней всех! Например гайковерт Cat с двумя аккумулятороми кейсом и зарядкой у нас стоит примерно 130доларов! А метабо или милуоки такой-же мощности уже 650 700 долларов!

In our country, Milwaukee costs on average 2 times more expensive than a CAT if you buy from an official dealer. People take CAT for home and DeWalt or MAKITA for work - it's just cheaper. Russia.

Yep that way its consistant and I can keep both hands on the drill. Wanted to go with a PWM valve until I looked the price up of a none compensated PWM valve. Almost all test videos on YT show people drilling into wood, I wanted something that could be consistent and repeatable to keep things fair. Way to many variables I feel with testing in wood.

I see the CAT as a very poor deal. Been looking around for another drill. Right now you can get a FLEX 24-volt 1/2-in Brushless Cordless Drill, 2 Batteries 5Ah & 2.5Ah and Charger on sale at lowes for $179 ($50 off).
@Tools-Tested
@Tools-Tested Год назад
Yep and the flex is claiming 1400Lb In vs DX12 600/ DX13 700. I really don't see any advantage right now to buy CAT. The battery is cool but it looks like the drill cant take full advantage of it.

My main reason for even considering the cat would be the fact that the battery is supposed to persist through more charge discharge cycles and charge faster. I worked at a company that used Milwaukee but their batteries were so worn out from so many cycles that my new 2 amp hour on my impact would last as long as the 5 amp hours at least. I never ran it out with the impact at that job, but using it in the blower we used for blowing out roof top units I could throw my 2 amp hour on after we ran out of big batteries and get just as much out of it. As long as the batteries don't cost twice as much to replace I think that alone would make it make sense for a company, if it does truly survive double the amount of cycles.

Interesting set of results. I haven't really seen CAT battery powered tools here in the UK. The odd time I have seen them, they are very expensive, usually a lot more than the other main brands. I guess it depends on what you want the actual tool for, I wonder how many would actually drive it that hard in actual work, more likely battery life time would be the higher concern.

I think the Milwaukee has much more to give, definitely on speed one. It powered through the dyno with the 5ah. It will be interesting when I set the dyno for high power. Yeah I don't think the CAT drills are bad, but your defiantly paying a high premium for the name. I cant wait to see how CAT ranks vs other brands as I continue testing.

One of the claims of the graphene batteries is their superior performance at cold temperatures. If so, this would be a hugely valuable quality in areas that experience cold winters. Has anybody tested for cold temperatures performance, including Milwaukee, Dewalt, Bosch, etc.?

Hello everyone, I'm Brazilian and I live in Brazil, good tools like the m18 are very expensive around here, so I have to import and hope that the corrupt government here doesn't tax me too much with taxes that reach 70% of the product price, even paying $120.00 dollars for shipping, it is much cheaper to import than to buy here in Brazil, even so I ask for your help on where I can find ToughBuilt and Milwaukee products, with the lowest possible price, since the dollar is $5, 30x1.00 real lol, thank you very much for your kindness.

Of course it's unlikely there's any graphene there. If confronted, I suppose they will claim it's just a flashy marketing name. But the fast charging is cool, wish other brands make a note of that. Most likely cells charged in several banks in parallel, like in modern phones with super fast charging
