Metabo link pls
Constantly drilling into concrete lentel above windows, when installing curtain rails. My arms are consequently disproportionate ..Which drill would you recommend?
Nowadays the cheapest winning always.
Considering base price BOSCH seems to be a sweet spot for me.
Is it just the video or is that flex drill extremely quiet compared to the m18 and DeWalt? How does it compare to the noted smooth makita?
Festool?
There is a GLARING detail on those charts that should be the entire focus of this video. The Hercules performs within 5% of ALL the top brands in every single test and costs less than HALF as much at $79, and I just grabbed one today for $49 on sale. This is the biggest game changer in power tools since the mainstream use of the lithium battery in the early 2000’s. What Hercules is doing at these prices has literally never been done before. I have an 8Ah 21700 cell battery and a hammer drill, and their impact driver that BEATS Milwaukee for $149 total.
The problem milwakee has is that every tool out there can do what milwaukee does at half the price.
Just bought the Milwaukee Fuel m18 hammer/drill today. I picked up this tool kinda blind and got the $299 kit with charger and extra battery. (replacing an old Craftsman 18v drill from 15+ years ago. Thanks for the excellent comparison between all these brands.
Please use ft-lbs.
Where’s Fein, Trumpf and Festool? I’ve owned many brands, still love em, but nothing has beaten Fein or Trumpf so far (they can be thrown off a building, picked up and continue working)
After studying all of your charts the Flex seems as good if not better and your price comparison is way off being the Flex comes with batteries and a charger and the Milwaukee does not!!
WERE IS Metabo hpt with the most Powerfull Drill on the Market?
Close second was Makita. Very close.
Looking at all these numbers, it seems like FLEX is going for makita’s throat. Just about all numbers were the same or within an extremely small margin AND ITS $79 DOLLARS! If anyone is doing non-commercial work, i’d say you got your drill right there!!
industry hack Makita objectively won.
Metabo is the best. Full stop.
makita and milwaukee are my go to…
Using their own charts the Milwaukee doesn’t come out on top. I own several of the brands including Milwaukee,Rigid,Dewlt and Bosch, but using their chart i wouldn’t get the Milwaukee based on their chart if im using it as my guide, and im not sure how they did either unless there was other criteria being included.
How much doller is makita 14.4v cordless drill
Years ago I bought a Makita cordless drill so that I can be in line with everybody else going cordless after about 6 years the batteries were no longer charge The batteries were no longer available only aftermarket batteries aftermarket batteries were crap they wouldn’t hold charge either so there was stuck with a cordless drill and no way to power it I got rid of it at a garage sale for about 15 bucks from then on all my power tools are corded It’s just too expensive to have to replace a cordless drill or any cordless product every few years because the battery is no longer hold a charge and batteries become unavailable It’s a scam.
I rathee buy a bosch or makita than a milwhack
Where can I buy the non hammer drill versions. I just need a regular drill
Im not buying these stats completely. That Ryobi HP line holds up way better on the job than these numbers suggest. I noticed not all of them used the same brand battery…not a valid test.
How much is the M18 FUEL™ ½” Hammer Drill/Driver w/ ONE-KEY™????
best of best narion
I use Hilti, its not just about who is the strongest, drills faster etc, they are reliable and if you break it they come pick it up etc… Also the same when you buy their tools, you buy it from them directly, they deliver it to you directly. Its very smooth. They also dont release new machines, batteries etc that often, and they still sell the old batteries etc. It just works like flawlessly… And the thing its been like this for a long time most (all?) other machines you had to go through a 3d party dealership or whats it called.
Looks like a typical Milwaukee sponsored chanel
Anthony Weiner…
that’s a hilti metal working drill, you should have compared the sf6 as that’s the drill that would compare to these other brands
Reliability on the Milwaukee is the worst feature you’d want on a drill, never going to get a Milwaukee if they cannot even last a year…
Hilti, Bosch, Makita or ryobi unless its just as bad as the milwaukee (owned by the same company*)
hey, there is a skil drill on the video, why it is missing in the test?
Top brand tools are losing to lower priced tools . Less expensive same productivity. My skil tools do the same job at half the price
Hey man—love the video but you made a mistake on your charts. You mentioned Rigids in-lbs as 1250, which is accurate (141nm with a 6AH) but then charted it as only 800, making it look incredibly weak, down at ryobi level.
This completely changes it categorically…
In this shit economy…….your kidding.
Skil is on the table but not reviewed??
I mean hiliti’s claim is the tool will basically last longer which i guess would be harder to test in theses tests
Y’all need more subs
any woodworkers out there could tell me besides these drill torque power/features/battery strength etc which one is best with gear ratios precision. Like for instant I know dewalt has too much power on the lowest setting when i want to just screw a small screw and just goes over leaving almost a quarter of a inch hole behind when i just want to have a flush finish. I know I can go easy on the trigger or pre boar it but I want to repeatedly doing it without being too careful and consistently get same result and no needing to do extra work and attention just to achieve it. Especially on small projects that I want to finish fast and efficiently without leaving marks that are ugly as if I did with an axe as a hammer for a screw part.
They should value for performance, as m12 tools are some of the most expensive , for value hikoki aka metabo htp is a great value for performance plus lifetime warranty
I have both the makita and the milwaulkee and hands down makita is better. I like both companies the same i have a lot of tools from both. This channel os obviously selling for milwaulkee and thats fine it is still a great drill but if you have the choice go makita. Few side notes is milwaulkee i have had to have it replaced in less than a year and it gets used less than my makita. And this is kinda picky but the button to put it in reverse or forward is a pain in the ass. It jist is in a position when you go to switch it one had it gets stuck in the middle and you have to slow down to focus on it to push it to reverse or forward. Dumb to be that picky i know but all the guys on my crew say the same thing and are always reaching for the makitas first
honestly its the customer service and sticking to the actual warrantys that i care about. so dose anyone have complaints about sheet company not honoring there warranty so i can stay clear of those brands.
Makita looks cool, I want it.
beautiful
As a electrician, it’s Milwaukee all the way
The metabo is the german unit not the same as metabo htp , ( hikoki) big difference
En estados unidos no se venden taladros de la antigua marca hitachi ahora llamda hikoki ?, porque son herramientas que rivalizan con las mejores marcas que has espuesto
What about skill you guys have it but you didn’t test it
You need to add ‘hammer’ in your title. I was not looking for a hammer drill.
Hercules 👍
