It'd be nice to see the 12v brushless impact vs. Makita's 18v subcompact. They're also a bit long compared to Makita's more compact 18v versions, but are narrower which comes in handy with their impact wrenches.
i use 12volt makita for basic electrical work and even the 12v sds rotart hammer drill for small dynabolts, green plugs , knock ins etc. I also prefer the makita 12v 1/4 drill driver instead of the impact driver. its silent and tiny. when i need more power i bust out my 18volt gear but these tiny things are getting better and better so very rare for electrical kinda work that u need more power
same here, I have the 18V and for MDF cabinet making I use only my old 12V, lightweight, compact, more than enough power for the task. I also hate that annoying noise of impact drivers.
Yet another brilliant video sir. Love seeing the difference between them. Like the (I've brought this for the wife). 👍🤣🤣 have to remember that one next time I treat myself to another makita ❤. Stay safe buddy 👍
Yes, Indeed, you are the 40 Volt King! 🤴😁 👍👍👍😁✌🏻 Look forward to the coming video using that M12, with the ergo handle, and smooth trigger, and easy releasing battery, and ... 😳🙄😬😀😃😂🤣 Stay safe and Healthy!
Looking to buy CXT impact (have the CXR drill set and not justification to buy LXT €€€) and since I don't own one yet, I think I will go with brushless.
I think it’s important thing to remember is the 10.8v/12v Max tools are for precision work. So while using your 18v/20v Max or 36v/40v Max your impact is a go to tool, not so much in 10.8/12v Max space. As a low-voltage electrician the times that my 10.8/12v Max impacts are used is hanging TVs, installing cameras on a ladder while out of position and/or the two 100mm screws in a deadbolt strike plate. So if I’m going into a home to do an install or finish an install and I am going to hang three TVs, install two flood light cameras and put it in a smart deadbolt on the front of the home, Why would I want to carry an additional battery platform that weighs more to just drive eighteen screws? That doesn’t even deal additional hassle of not being able to feed into my OCD about having all my slotted screws straight up and down vertically, so very much easier with an installation driver and/or screwdriver drill driver. It is also why when it comes to 10.8v/12v Max tools I choose Bosch, their 10.8v/12v tools are not pretending to be 18v/20v max tools, they are the smallest lightest most compact on the market. I have both the Metabo and Hilti 10.8v/12v Max platforms, and because they don’t conveniently fit into a Velocity or Veto tool bag they stay in stackable tool storage until I’m going to be on a job for the whole day.
I have the 12v brusless one and find it great. My only grip is that when its on auto mode when putting into reverse it automatically is in full speed. Takes a little getting used to.
Hi! Can you test the brushless 12V drill too( if you have it, or a link if you already did it) ? I am looking to buy the 12V Brushless DF332 , I wish they would come with a 12V installation drill like Bosch, Milwaukee, Festool and Mafell did 😶 Currently I use the DHP459 mostly ( I have the DDF482, the DTD171 and the Bosch GSR12V-15 too ) but I find it quite big and heavy for what I mostly do (fitted furniture, cabinets, kitchens... ) Thanks for the videos! 😎👍
Me: watching all these tool review/test... videos because i like it Also me: having a 14.4v 2010 makita "hammer" drill and straggling to drill a 6mm hole and wood
About the single handed chuck, should you be able to push any (fitting) attachment in one handed? I've got the DTD171, which I think you've said has a one handed chuck, but I can't push anything in without pulling the chuck forward manually.
Same, I always wondered about that, too. No single handed chuck on my machine. But rather having a proper one than a milwaukee one which always loses f.e. the bits.
I marvel at your brand new tools! Mine look like antiques after 12 months of use and usually are worn out dead within 2 years. Also, you drove half a dozen screws? Tradesmen drive boxes of screws per day so this comparison is moot. I'm guessing you don't work with your hands?
