Makita VS Dewalt VS Milwaukee 

Ok so you used the Makita cuz you haven't used it before? You know for fact that Dewalt would've killed those adapters? Dewalt could barely take off those 130 ft lbs you tightened! The Milwaukee I know would've snapped it for sure, but it looked to me that the B&D(aka) Dewalt wouldn't have stood a chance compared to the Makita impact. So many people underestimate Makita tools until you make a real world comparison. I know your adapters broke and all, which sucks! I also know that it's hard to get your hands on the top of the line ones to make an accurate comparison, but from I witnessed, Dewalt seemed to struggle more on the 130 ft-lb test a tad. You took the Makita upwards of 193 ft-lb and it passed. Only 250 broke the bit an again it was starting to turn. 1/4 impacts aren't meant to take that stress, but it still did it. Dewalt is a fail! Sorry for a bad comment

I'm quite disappointed with this so called comparison. I'm after buying a raft of tools, (driver, impact driver, drill, circular saw etc etc) and unfortunately, the way I see it, is that it comes down to choosing ONE make in order that one can have ONE type of battery to fit ALL of ones tools. That way always having the ability to use ANY of ones batteries on ANY of the tools in ones arsenal. After reading ALL the replies I have to agree with some that the real test would have been to use them to TIGHTEN the nuts til it wouldn't tighten further/break point/battery death. I've learned more from peoples 155 comments, plus LOTS of replies than I have from the "test". My conclusion so far, from comments rather than "test" results, is that DeWalt is out of the picture and it's a contest between Milwaukee and Makita. But still no proven winner. Do I buy Makita and buy new batteries every X months or spend more money on Milwaukee ???

@@meem1638 I decided to go with the Makita platform. I totally agree that Dewalt isn't even in the same category, talking about I know dewalt could've broken those other ones off easily. It's obvious that the Milwaukee had them both beat in just one test. For sure, we're it my video, but it's not, I would have enough adapters to complete a true comparison, lol even when that one did break, he had it torqued to as high as he could and the nut STILL moved before snapping! Now you saw that Dewalt struggling, not saying it's a bad product line, just the Lexus of B&D, bet the B&D batteries could fit big yellow. I think from this video that both the Makita, and that adapter, took an ass whooping. Strong adapter for +200 ft lbs of breakaway torque What would be cool to see, is that who can break whomever's torque. Have dewalt break Makita's tiggten torque, vice versa. Doubt that either of them could break Milwaukie as fast as that nut broke loose at 130. Just food for thought

Hello, I'm between the set of Dewalt dck299p2 or Milwaukee 2997-22. Which one would you recommend?

IsRael F I’d for sure go with the Milwaukee set, both those tools are awesome. I own and have used both sets.

Broke them quick on site .. lil extra for the Milwaukee

Agreed..I own quite a few

Makita invented the first cordless drill with swappable batteries in 1978. One would hope they’d be good at it by now.

hes anoying

Lmao

Dewalt cant take a hit. Every single one I've seen on any job has broken after about 6 months of average use, tops. I'm talking no fewer then 25 different guns. They will break if they fall from someone's tool pouch. Meanwhile my old reliable makita is 3 years old and more then a few times sustained falls in excess of 50'. It doesn't look or sound the best anymore but I'll be damned if that thing cant take a beating.

I actual ran over my makita sawzall and not a bot of dmg in my work truck

you may should think about a investment in a bungee cord for less tool droppings. Surviving a25 to 30 feet fall on solid ground is no indicator of a good tool. You also could survive with a couple of broken bones or die depending how you impact on the ground

Trucker_Pete and also to avoid warranty claims lol

@@gioflores96 nah, that's an American game. Hence Milwaukee and DeWalt. I believe that Japanese manufacturers under rate their products, just like Kawasaki and Honda do

I thing the size of the nut also determines the clamping force as well not sure though.

@@Preppy_gurl2. Agreed! Makita doesn't play the same marketing games as American companies. Interesting how the presenter was biased toward the yellow and red drivers and was genuinely surprised at the blue one. He had no interest in a fair comparison. So basically, this was a waste of viewing time.

Chris Kelly that’s what proved its better. The other lazy ones just watched on the side lines

Been using makitas impact drivers for years no complaints here they just keep on doong there thing

Exactly

Ruben Medina he didn’t you use the others as much because he knew they would for sure snap the adaptor and mainly wanted to see how well the Makita would work compared to them. The conclusion was it can hold its own. Though for me I am more of a Milwaukee fan. Though I don’t hate makita. But have never liked dewalt as I have had to many of their tools burn up on me.

He broke all of his bits

I use mine to loosen lug nuts and no issues at all.

makita are the best!

I own and use makita but makita used to be the best, when they were made in Japan they were the best. My dad has an old impact and drill that was made in Japan and those are a beast compared to my new set

SFSoldier 322 No problem, that’s what I’m here for 👍

these little impacts will blow’em out anyway.

Also if the milwaukee goes full tilt instead of conserving power and applying slowly that's probably not the best thing. Though you could still argue that if you need the power its there and its quicker.

makita is rubbish

@TheWelshy83 true

@@USA4thewin its not as good as milwaukee but surely not rubish. Its the second best powertool brand lol

Didn’t makita pretty much invent the battery powered drill? Or it did something like that. Dewalt and Milwaukee is just following in its footsteps. I know lots of contractors who use makita. Honestly if your doing this stuff with your little impact driver you should be getting a bigger one.

@@USA4thewin made in Japan bro , quality, makita runs the world of industry. Am not talking about the USA bro , you guys like in your own word. Keep going

Team Makita 💪

Results: Milwaukee, This one's to strong! (too many broken adapters.) Dewalt, This one's to weak! (slowest of the bunch.) Makita, this one's just right! (The little engine that could.) Looks like Goldilocks is a Makita gal!

Makita is best

I think that might've been part of the point, he was just curious to see exactly how far you can go with them

He supports China over Japan. Easy story.

@@user-gt2kl9jr3l Makita is made in China too tho

@@Volfas the big three are all made in China. Makita is a Japanese company at least. Milwaukee is Chinese.

The 172 is out. The 171 is identical to the dt16z.....

How? He said he already knew the other 2 could loosen the nut. That's why he focused more on the makita

don't forget Bosch

ill stick with the regular set. I didn't really like the cancer warnings due to their "Proprietary Alloy76™ steel" used for this particular product. enough crap out there to give you cancer as it is.. no thanks. I would hope washing your hands would be enough but i know lots of guys will hold the bit with their mouth while they are doing something. Nice.

@@galaxytraveler5779 That warning should be on all of them. All manufactured products are contaminated today. Kitchen appliances, cookware, and even most food is contaminated with highly toxic chemicals.

@@galaxytraveler5779 I know you use cheap o'l DeWalt cause you couldn't afford Milwaukee, DeWalt has coronavirus and Milwaukee don't

@@elmersully9615 This is probably one of the dumbest things i have read in a very long time. Thanks for the laugh, though.

@@galaxytraveler5779 Hate to break it to you buddy but what do you think is in those rubber grips on that drill of yours?, hell even at the bottom of Taco Bells home page on their website if you scroll to the very bottom they openly admit their food may cause cancer. It's everywhere and on anything you touch, just don't put your hands in your mouth after handling the bits.

Me too. I guess I could use it to take blades off my tractor and walk behind mowers.

lol. Get the impact wrench. The driver is more for carpenters

elpaulodelnorte True, that was about the only conclusion here...and that these drivers are too powerful for their own good.

:)

Makita is the best tools for the money , it’s also less noisy then others and makita batteries last the longest

Makita is the original cordless power tool. It might not be the strongest but it is built to last. Sadly here on the big island it is the most expensive.

ftnrbhmwk Why? The makita destroyed it.

@@AmoristKOS lol pay attention to video more. The husky is the brand(home Depot) of the hex shank socket adapter he used in the video.

😆 gg Huskey adapter, you survived 200psi before Mikita murdered you. I guess Milwaukee was after your head too though, so your lifespan wouldn't have been too much longer.

Your work ing the pissout the first drill dumb ass

🤯

@alak58 i just feel ergonomically makita is better and if you don't need a super powerful tool. But I think you might be right

@@arturzych138 I have makita tools for like 8-10 years and they still work flawlessly. switching to milwaukee fuel tho (shits got some power)

@@dominatorandwhocaresanyway9617 lol I ended up getting the Milwaukee and I'll say you're absolutely right. But the makita is so comfortable to use from experience

@@arturzych138 they're light yet robust. the grip gets this comfortable patina after some time so its even better

Conker 1/4 in. Drive Impact Driver Socket Adapter Set (3-Piece) www.homedepot.com/p/303256026

👍

I agree, I didn't feel what he was saying was truly matching what I was observing. I have my doubts that Dewalt would get that nut off at 250psi after seeing it compare side by side with Makita. No doubt that Milwaukee is the champ though when it comes to power and speed.

Clover Kismet yeah Milwaukee got massive power, but when it comes to small cordless tools, especially impact drivers, controlling, precision matter too.

You never used a makita before

russell leahy and what makes you think of that?

I wonder why the breakaway torque isn't listed in the item description? I mean if I have something torqued to to where it requires a 1/2 inch impact, then which one should I be looking to buy? Very misleading....smh See what I mean

These are (impact DRIVERS) not (impact WRENCHES...) Smh. Lol'

Impact DRIVER'S has the SAME power forward AN reverse. Again these are NOT impact WRENCHES...

@Trevor McFarland that is not necesery, bcoz the point is they are a good cordless

Doesn't matter, this clearly showed what they're capable of which is the point. It's not a video about "using the right tool for the job".

@@ToothpickMan11 ouch hahahha

Yup my thoughts exactly, use the right tool for the task at hand.

Doesn't matter. Well done Makita, you answered the question 'can you do it' Answer: Yes every time. Great video. Thanks.

It’s not a problem if that’s the way he wants to test.he got the analysis done.

Erbauer n b&q r made by Makita and it brakes the fittings 2

Good point

Not to mention Milwaukee drills weigh a lot more than makitas

I drop mine off a roof daily. Not on purpose just part of the job sometimes and the durability of Milwaukee is beyond anything I've seen since the old steel body stihl chainsaws.

I’ll take stories that didn’t happen for $500.

Left my Milwaukee hooked ontop of a counterweight. Put lift in service. Heard bang and found two halfs of an impact gun in the pit🤣

Foxtrot Milwaukee if you want the most torque.

Just bought my dewilt, just before watching this

F milwaukee

@L F no clue what that has to do with literally fucking anything. But. K.

Good point

yep, as long as you can can share the batteries between different tools let’s be honest, you are going to be happy with any of the 3 brands no matter what you go with

Any of these three....

Matt Fischer They were designed for the carpenter in mind. Driving screws. Others have repurposed them, so companies have adapted to that. Impact guns are suited for these types of tests. Not an impact driver

Rigid just can't compete with these three....
