Made in "Japan" Makita vs made in "China" Makita impact driver comparison. Let's compare maximum torque, no load RPM, speed at removing lug nuts, and speed driving in fasteners. Finally, let's tear down both tools to compare the internal parts. I always buy all of the products tested and never accept sponsorships or even promotional items to ensure unbiased comparison testing. So, thanks for supporting the channel!

I worked on a Honda production line for 16 years. The Makita made in Japan was used two shifts per day (80 hours per week). The tools were dropped at least a dozen times a day. It preformed flawless. The only issue was the batteries. They lasted maybe 1,000 charges. I wore out and retired before the Makita's did.

I have worked in a manufacturing company in Japan. I can say that the reason why Japan product is so good, is they are very strict about QC. So if you get all your parts from Japan, all of them will have the same good QC, which will turn into a very good and reliable product. It's a bit expensive though.

@ZERONEINNOVATIONS 2 года назад

I'm Japanese, used to live in China 4 years, and I've been living in US 6 years. I feel that, even the quality of products at dollar store in Japan are better than dollar tree. (of course both products are Made in China) I think it's because Japanese companies are more strict about QC like you mentioned, even if its manufactured in China.

@admcstabby 3 года назад

That's pretty much how every manufacturer works in their base country. If they design a product, they never make it quite as good as the ones they ship to other countries. It has multiple purposes, but the primary is duplication prevention. Sure, just like this video proves you can simply have a buddy ship you something better built from their country, but on paper they believe they are better securing their IP by keeping it "in house". Otherwise what's to stop an American or Chinese company making a duplicate and selling it cheaper?

@h.a.6790 3 года назад

That's the downsides of outsourcing manufacturing, it produces cheaper less quality products. You can still buy better built products but be ready to pay a premium because different fabrications and working hands aren't cheap.

Broken switches were replaced. NiCad Batteries lasted an average of 10 years and have now been replaced by NiMh units. These Japan-made Makita units are virtually indestructible.

The Japanese radios made in the 70s-80s are highly sought after and go for the highest prices. You can see the quality go down every time they moved production to a new country. The radios made now in China are terrible quality.

@@ProjectFarm Yeah, for example the falling test, where you made sure the drivers impacted at the same angle - even old commercial testing institutions don't think of details like this, which usually makes many of their tests useless in my opinion, as random impacts give random results. Btw: I was thinking of a method for measuring the 'vibration', as you meant you didn't have a way for doing this, yet. My idea is: Use sand in some way (or another sediment). More vibration (heavier and faster) will make the driver dig deeper into sand within a given timespan. Of course it wouldn't be good, to directly expose the driver to sand. Maybe just closing the holes with some duct tape, or putting a stick into sand and putting the driver on top of that stick would be a viable workaround for the exposure problem. Then have the tip fixed onto a vertical slider and make sure the handle doesn't rotate by having it slam against the side wall of the sand container.

Of course makita makes higher quality stuff for their home market. They build it there, to employ their own citizens, and to sell locally. No one would pay for a makita built in the US because the labor costs would be insane. That said, PF also compared the newest japanese version to the older American version. It would be more fair to wait for the newer American version to be released.

@MichaelMoscicki 3 года назад

Makita has a factory in Buford, Georgia where they assemble some corded power tools such as their miter saw, random orbital sander, and other tools. They also have a factory in the United Kingdom where they assemble their track saw and other tools. So they do assemble tools outside of Japan and China and it wouldn't be a stretch for them to assemble some cordless tools in Buford, Georgia even if it's just a drill and driver like what SBD is doing with their Craftsman line.

@frother 3 года назад

My guess is that the Japanese tool market just has different pricing economics. Makita is a Japanese brand so it has domestic name recognition that means it can charge a significantly higher price without worrying too much about inevitably being undercut by foreign competition. That "higher quality at a higher price" stance would be a lot harder to maintain in the global market, where consumers are less impressed by the Makita name and tend to look for a different mix of value-per-dollar and quality.

@Tallnerdyguy 3 года назад

I don't know if it is still relevant or true today, but when I was a kid in the 80s, my dad told me a story about working with electronics. After he retired from the Marines, he learned how to repair electronics and the place he was working (call it company A) for needed to order X amount of some type of device (sorry, I don't remember what). They ordered these through a supply company (call it company B) out of Japan. When Company B asked what was an acceptable failure rate, Company A said 5% or less. When the shipment came with thousands of the ordered devices, there was a second package that was labeled as defective. When Company A inquired about what this meant, Company B told them that those were the 5% that were going to fail, all the others were guaranteed. Company A asked how they could be sure and Company B's response was that in Japan, all items purchased were expected to work with no failures. They charged Company A full price for the 95% that functioned properly and only materials cost for the devices they said were defective. My dad said they continued to order from Company B from then on out and they could always count on the product to work as designed.

That last test wasn't fair, though --- the wood was already drilled out (and the blue drill's hole was deeper because he drove the screw almost all the way in after the bit slipped off; this per-existing hole-bottom allowed the blue drill to screw in the fastener more easily near the end, which is likely why the red drill just barely "won") by having the screws inserted the first time, so the race wasn't really "even" as far as turning-resistance was concerned --- i.e., with both drills using screws being driven into fresh wood.

China sends it's best to US an EU. so what u saw right there was its best. let alone all the technology, boards, and quality is copy and under licence. They only can change or modify the material used. Otherwise its not like u think it's fully made and designed in china. u could say assembled in china

@jasonosmond6896 3 года назад

Yeah, the Chinese will give you the best quality product in the world, if you're willing pay to get it (ex: Apple). The problem is that in general, if as a company you've chosen China to manufacture your product, it's because you've already made the choice to optimize for cost. Japanese, as consumers, prefer quality over cost for premium devices, so there's little to negative cost advantage in manufacturing the same quality product in China over Japan for their domestic market (taking into account the cost of maintaining a separate manufacturing line and import costs, etc). There's also the problem that if you manufacture in China, there's a high risk of your product being ripped off and exact or near exact clones being sold under knockoff brands ("ghost shift" manufacturing, etc), which is highly undesirable if you're a "premium" brand.

@annakessler9372 3 года назад

@@jasonosmond6896 Apple is "Made in china" not made by china. its just for cheap labor work over there to do the things that needs humans to assemble.

@@annakessler9372 not really correct. Global production depend on international collabration from vendors. Components not made in China maybe use subcomponents made by Chinese.

Could be they know about that and just dont care, and have better product in higher price/ or like here in video, have lower price... tho when i am paying $350ish bucks for impact, then $60 above that isnt that much
