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. Or shipping cost to US is more expensive.

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?

@@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.

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.

I’ve been wanting Makita tools for a lot longer than I’ve owned any. My first (new tool Makita) purchase was a cordless drill/driver. With battery. Later I think my next was one I found in a pawn shop which included a battery, soft case and charger, which I bought on impulse because it was cheaper than a battery alone. Skipping passed all the various tools within the brand, I’ll state I think I have 5 drills, and the lowest level of the impact similar to this video. A couple years ago now I discovered a PURPLE one! I couldn’t justify buying it because it made no sense. But nowadays I have nearly every battery powered Makita tool an electrician might find “required” (also I bought a 1/2” Fakita impact per AVE ‘just because, and it works!!) but watching this video prompted me to investigate what might be a justification for investing in a backup driver. My original was the XTD11, and seeing now there may well be a solid reason, I just ordered the XTD16 in PURPLE! 😅❤ I love purple, so it’s twice justifiable: Favorite color. 😮 Better version😮 Variable speed😅 but my favorite reason is PURPLE😂❤ NOW I have to wait a couple weeks for it arrive from Japan. 😢 I hope the ship doesn’t sink or the economy doesn’t crash before it arrives😢

The XDT16Z is sold in Japan as the td171d. And the improved model is td172d, which has enhanced torque, increased anvil strength, slimmer head, and lighter one-touch bit sleeve. Of particular note are cheap compatible batteries made in China.

You may find that true of China, as well. Products shipped by the ton to foreign destinations are not held to standards imposed by domestic markets.

Seems like the red one just has higher quality parts and hence is more expensive. It shouldn't make a difference where it's made, the question is why does Makita not sell their best tools outside of Japan?

@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

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.
