Mastercraft Drill To 1/2 Impact Adapter 

Well shucks, if I had known you wanted a hockey puck I would have thrown a couple in the package! :) For those wondering, I found this one new in packaging on Facebook Marketplace earlier this year. The other one that went to TTC I bought new ~15 years ago that sat unused in a box in my basement for the entire time. I keep an eye out for them but they don't come up for sale very often. Awesome test though, still surprised just how many beans it delivers!

“Good this is these old dewalts they put a lot of smoke in em at the factory, so you can let a bit out of them”😂😂😂😂😂 greatest line ever lol

And it makes your drill look like it has an oil filter silencer on it haha

Mastercraft is the Canadian Tire in-house store brand. Nicknamed "Mastercrap" because the tools are largely homeowner-grade, and we Canadians are an odd bunch that make nicknames for everything. AvE usually puts on a Canadian slang and nickname masterclass.

Glad to see you referencing the torque test channel. They're amazing. And always love it when creators don't try and pretend like they're the first and only one to do something. Very much enjoyed your implementation of this review as well (I will continue to watch you, torque test channel, And project farm Even if you all review the same thing it's really fun to see the different review styles)

There's no patent, so I actually worked with a factory with prototyping a beefier version with stiffer spring settings. They're like well this needs to be made out of all steel now, not plastic. And I'm like yes, agreed. Sounds good. But it's going to weight a lot, I'm like who cares. So prototyped, lotta heavy forces on the anvil drive inside. Looks like it needs a brass bushing to ride on. Yes!. Looks like it needs a heavier hammer to pair with he new spring. Yes! Feature creeped the whole damn thing into a $80-90 tool. These things are sweet, but really attractive to someone who doesnt want to buy an impact. So needs to be like $30-40 IMO. I doubt if Mastercraft was selling this current version today it would be.

"the factory puts a lot of smoke in the DeWalt 3/8" brushed drill, you can let a little out and be ok" I paraphrased it but it made me chuckle

The best part about Mastercraft tools is that most come with lifetime or many years warranty, and are WAY cheaper then big name brands. I use a 5 inch grinder everyday and been buying mastercraft ones now since they are cheap 99 bucks and have a 3 year warranty...although had the same one for over 4 years now still hasnt died. Had a ratchet break, took it in got a brand new one free no questions asked.

I didn't expect this thing to actually work all that well...I'm surprised. The thing that would be great about this, is the fact that you just have to keep a cordless drill and this in your vehicle...that way you have two tools in one. I already keep a drill in my truck, but I don't really have the room to keep my 1/2" impact in there too...this thing doesn't take up near as much space as an impact wrench.

As a Canadian I never expected you to review a Mastercraft tool, it fucking great though🇨🇦 . Keep doing what you're doing brother.

Love that syrup bottle. Got to be the most perfect Jim Beam or Jack Daniels decanter ever made.

I just love how the community seems to work together. Especially the car guys. I know if I ever find somethign rare or unique I will send to a youtuber like yourself to do some videos on it, no strings attached. I love for a community I can be part of also. Once i buy a new house I have a ton of projects to film. I am hoping to be able to do giveaways, NOT RAFFLES. I like the idea of giving back to the community. I also plan on building my shop, hopefully, with 100% products purchased from sponsors of my favorite youtubers.

Lessons learned. Use the right tool for the job. That, or use a straw, glue, a nut cut in half and welded to a thin pipe and wrap with wire with bolts in wood.

Factory installed smoke! 🙃 Years ago back when full service gas stations existed some schmuck rolled in with his old hoopty smoking like crazy making all kind of knocking noises. He was in a panic needing some kind of help. The mechanic on duty checked the oil and told him he needed oil. What came out of the schmuck's mouth is still astonishing to this day. "NO! They seal the oil in at the factory!" He jumped back in the car and drove off taking the factory smoke with him.. 😉

“They put a lot of smoke in them from the factory” Fuckin love that statement

That's actually a pretty cool idea for home use. I have similar lugs on my F250 and I always put a drop of oil between the washer and nut when I put them back on.

Got the same DCF899 XR impact and a DCD998 XR PowerDetect hammer drill so I’m ready to replicate this. :)

Keep it up love your channel

“Hey there, bud! Your video on that tool is an absolute beauty, eh? It’s like a double-double of knowledge, and you’re more skilled than a hockey player stickhandling through the defense, eh! Keep up the great work, and you’ll be as iconic as a Timbit at a Tim Hortons, ya know!” 🇨🇦👍

My Pop's has that same smoky dewalt. It's given the smoke a few times but still gets used when things get too dirty/nasty for the fancy brushless atomic he has now. I swear it gets more smoke sitting on the healing bench

Mastercraft used to be a brand commonly sold by Canadian Tire when I was a kid. We used to call that place “crappy tire.” Lol!

Good video. Look at it this way, 15 years ago, that little can would have out performed any cordless impact out there.

It’d be kind of fun to put that on another impact driver and watch the impact hammers Duke it out until they’re both exhausted, lol. I assume that’s what might happen, anyway.

Fun video! Loved it.

I have one of those. They're meant for old plug-into-the-wall 3/8” drills. Rated max. is 250 ft-lbs IIRC.

I still have one of those impact adapters. Only ever used it once.

thanks for the testing and the comedy.

My DCD999 Hammer drill has a motor larger than the old mid torque DCF894 I have. A new drill would definitely step it up a lot!

Pretty darn cool. Never seen one before

The term MasterCrap likely originated from where they were sold in Canada - Crappy Tire (known as Canadian Tire).

Great video

I have a 1950s Craftsman reversible speed reducer and screwdriver. It's for screwing but not bustin nuts. 😅 It's from a time when not all the electric drills were reversible. The manual says it multiplies the "power" 6-7x, so it's 6:1. It also has the sliding reverse gear so your non-reversable drill can unscrew a screw. American syrup is "maple flavored" corn syrup. I've had real maple syrup and I didn't like it. I mixed it with a bottle of maple corn syrup to make it tolerable.

Battery drills have such a short life. Though i don't use it everyday, I have a drill from the 70s, but it's corded. Still works as well as the day it was bought by my father. Describing 10 year old tools as very old is just weird to me. My expectations of buying things are not that you get a new one every 5 years, especially something I don't use all that often. I want something that will last many decades. I have all kinds of tools going back to the 30s and 40s. But they are mostly hand tools that were taken care of. High quality tools are just stupidly expensive and the old stuff, even off brand was made better than standard home-gamer tools made today. I just replaced a hand mixer from the 50s. Was my regular everyday hand mixer (kitchen, not some kind of tool) since the early 90s. I'm still looking for a toaster from the 40s or 50s. But I'm looking for a specific model. I've been through 4 modern toasters in the last 10 years. Like tools, your options are junk or super expensive and with options you don't want like a touchscreen and needing a phone app (yes, they really do exist).

I believe 500ft-lbs on those lugs is a bit high. Love your channel!

I like real world scenarios like this. Thanks for a fun video! I wish mine were as well done and edited.

I would say that that the little impact adapter would perform far better with a drill that has a cord on it, but I suppose if one is in the middle of nowhere, a cordless is what you have.

Lol the good ol' crappy tire brand. I live in Kingston Ontario we have 3 Canadian Tire. You can buy 3 sets of MasterCraft for the price of one Snap On, and they come with a lifetime warranty on everything.

Had 2 of those brushed dewalts. Neither lasted more than a medium job before crapping out. Brushless dewalt so much better.

As a Canadian i give this Video the Red Green Show approval, Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati

I owned one of those! It lasted years! But I only took off my tyres like 5 times with it... then it cracked

Just got funsy made me smile so much

I have something that looks very similar to that but it's a little bit different and it has a 3/8 drive on it. It's bigger on one side and where the drive is it's a little bit thinner almost like a cone shaped tool.

Def can't let to much engineer smoke out. Can't put it back in in the field. Has to go back to the factory for that. Lol I love that line.

"Oh hey, yeah, aboot that 'er umm maple syrup, that was actually a little light weight gear oil for to lube the impact thingamajig. Sorry aboot that!"

👍 There You Go!

All my tools minus a few various I got from lawn sales are master craft. When I break them and they will break I take them back to Canadian tire with or without (mostly without) a receipt and get a brand new tool for free.

Mastercrap is actually pretty good. They used to have a better warranty, but i still go back to the well... As a Canadian...

That sucks they don't make them anymore. Would be a handy tool to have.

I know the feeling I can never go back to the cheap syrup. It sucks because it cost so much more, but there is no going back.

Just for fun we should put one of that thing on another and use some heavy proper impact drill and see what will happen... Triple impact drill inception!

I live in Canada and saw this in value village of all places a while ago and didn't know what it was. I regret not buying it

Strap that bad boy to a big old SDS Rotary Drill or one of those old corded monsters that weigh like 15lbs 😂

I imagine the mechanism used in high speed intermittent hitting eggbeater style impacts would work better on drills.

The Vermont Maple Syrup is pretty good too. Merica

I love watching funk bussin' nuts on camera..

I think it was the Ford Triton 5.4l 2 valve & 3 valve sparkplugs that earned them their name 😅.

You can still buy something similar in the uk .. it's called a norbar ht4 torque multiplier ..❤😂

Like me when I was 19 and put anti seize on my brake caliper bolt threads. After a month driving around noticed a weird noise. Looked inside at the caliper and a bolt was missing :P Learn something everyday 😅

Honey kick rocks the goat of RU-vid posted.

6:28 : I spy some smoke!

Very novel but I’m sure it will help for an occasional person doing something around the house or whatever.

could be handy for someone who has brushless drill and dont have much use for impact other than on rare occasions

I remember those from back in the day but I feel like the drills of the era were not powerful enough have to remember back then as well air impacts where the go to

Ya real maple syrup is no comparison

Interesting

Not tool related but I’ll be funny for you to review the crazy guy who cooks in the hotel bathroom 😂

Master craft you must have got that from Canada lol.

This tool would be good to see work on slomotion.

Can you do a long form welding video

I need one of those to troll my red army friends in my air drill🤣🤣🤣🤣

@6:40 Funk attempts to put the smoke back in! Lol , they should have sent you a mastercraft drill, it would have burned up just looking a those lug nuts.

Use the grinder with a reverse thread nut and bolt and watch the parts fly

I have a keyless chuck attachment for my impact and I got a bit stuck in the cuck. I can’t back it out because the threaded bolt attaching the cuck to the impact came loose. I’ve tried using thread locker red but it couldn’t handle the torque. Does anyone know a way to get the bit out? The chuck is a dewalt DW0521. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out.

Hey funk, have you ever thought about making a discord for all the subs?

I know exactly where that bottle of syrup came from. I live very close to the Brubacher's, they make great syrup. If you want more I can send you some, that bottle is only $5.50 up here.

Well gosh darn......fellow material handler mechanic here.....ise needs me 1 uv dese....

Mastercrap is the store brand for Crappy Tire

I have a Mastercraft 7 drawer trolley and a snap on trolley, the Mastercraft isnt half bad

I once broke a company 4:1 multiplier. Destroyed the planetary gears. They replaced it with an 18:1.

“Ah excuse sir.. But why do de call you booger?…. I da know” : Dudley Dawson, Revenge of the Nerds

How come you didn’t try the drills on low speed first to increase higher torque ratings before throwing those hammers in Mach 2? I don’t think they have a chance now since they smoked.. brushed drills I smoked soon died but they definitely lost power after first signs of smoking.. 20v Milwaukee drill next on low on first go round?

I want to see a 1/2 stud drill hooked to it

In theory and for shits and gigs how much power think you might get if you used an impact on it might turn 1/4" impact into a1/2" impact...just to find out.

Real syrup….. oh yeah

You got mastercraft tools in usa? Though that is canadian tire exclusive

Did you see the size of the motor in the new M18 2967? Crazy small for the power.

Can you use an impact on the impact adapter?

I hope you remembered to tighten your lug nut back up

You use the milwaukee with the twelve volt battery?

Get a DCD999 and run it on speed 3

Man do you have the toe for a grinder adapter for that tool?

MasterCraft isn't bad, but it's never amazing. If i hadn't bought Ryobi last year, i would be considering MasteeCraft Pwr Pod tools.

Wasa that Ave?

Lol why did you not use low speed?

i imagine they stop making them because they had so many Mastercraft burned out drills returned umder warranty 😁🇨🇦

Put it in Hole Hawg

Hook it to your impact

Bro that thang looks like a fuel filter

Not a fair test, you should have a SDS Max with an adapter to test.

The Mastercraft loosened it for the all in one impact! WAIT! Put the mastercraft ON the impact! You get all the impacts for all the gains!
