I have a serious question guys…. And it might be an obvious one for most of you. But i have to ask… So…..
Should i buy a combo (Makita) that comes with the XDT16 (impact) and a hammer drill(cant remember model). Comes with 2 batteries, charger , and bagFor like $400 something.
Or ….
Buy the XDT19 1/4" impact but it xomes with the tool, 2 batteries, charger, and bag.
Think they both come with 2 5AmpHour batteries.
I know youre thinking, "yeah dumbass get the deal with the lesser of the impacts but you atleast get a hammer drill with the combo!". But part of me knows im gonna use the impact alot more than the hammerdrill so i want the XDT19 because its way newer than the XDT16…..
What do you guys think. Am i retarded?
You are pronouncing Ryobi wrong as a lot of people do. Say Rye bread . The same one pronounces Ryobi not reeyobe.
When quoting torque values, bear in mind that most of these brands are clearly lying. Exagerations of around 140-200% seem to be the norm.
Flex has a AC/DC adapter now
I’m not finding the Dewalt very easily – hasn’t it been out for 2 years?
From the start of the video you knew this was another red brand lover. Looking at the graphs Milwaukee was middle of the road on most of them. But they still picked it as the top one.
I think the problem is not the best torque for me. But which more durable after years
They said Milwaukee wins because of the power and how compact it was.. if you want power.. You’re okay with something bigger… Buy something else like DeWalt
Milwaukee is best but didnt watch without including Hercules. Project Farm is the best reviewer.
lots of butthurt Dewalt salesmen on here.
i have flex,going against the grain
Thanks
Funny every real test I have seen the Mikita is the strongest impact mid tourq and high tourq
Dewalt/Milwaukee the best
Odd that you used so many different battery sizes in the video. Ridgid and Milwaukee had a 6Ah battery while it seems like other brands had a 4Ah or 5Ah. Wondering how much that affected your results in the charts. Battery size largely changes the torque output.
Dcf 961 is all I’ll say
Yep, they are all good!
I use RIDGID and 95% of you should to!!! Why??? Because of the lifetime warranty.
Think about it and be honest, most DIY guys will use a "Big Gun" once a week, once a month…. A pro mechanic will use a Gun more in one week that a DIYer will use it in a year.
If someone else was buying me the tools I would definitely take Milwaukee and then DeWalt.
And he really said nut busting torque?😂😂😂
wheres craftsman?
I’ve tried DeWalt, Milwaukee, Kobalt, Snap-On but I finally settled on Ridigid because it just felt better and they have an awesome lifetime warranty.
wheres snapon?
The only MID TQS I don’t have for my YOUTUBE CHANNEL RYOBI, MAKITA, METABO HPT, HILTI the MILWAUKEE M18 fuel GEN 2 MID TQ is nice but the 891 and FLEX SMOKE IT
If theres something I hate is channels misleading info. It has been proven in real test videos that Dewalt’s mid torque takes the 1st place and the second is for Makita and even the HPT is stronger than the Fuel !!!
Ryobi is the best
Ketchup bois – FKA Pro tool reviews 🪦
Where the hell is Harbor Freight? ? ? Their specs are premium! Equal to Dewalt and Milwaukee, at far lass the price!
That SKIL is underrated. I have one and it’s awesome..
where is Bosch?
Unsubscribed
This channels a joke!!
DeWalt, Flex, makita, bosch, another brand, then maybe milwaukee is the real line up!!
The Kobalt impact on the table is not the same impact that was shown in the clips. Come on man
Price on the Metabo HPT is way off too. They have it at almost $400 for bare tool, it retails around $200 not even on sale.
I would assume Hercules has better performance that some of these tested
Hercules Hercules Hercules!
I laughed when you showed the M18 taking off the nearly new looking axle nut. Try it on a rusted one.
Edit: Based on your own charts provided, the DeWalt clearly bested the Milwaukee lol.
I’ve had and tried out all these impacts. I promise you the Milwaukee is not the best! In the real and wild world the Dewalt beats the Milwaukee and the makita will too! Just because milwaukee gives you free sh!t and you suck up to them don’t mean sh!t. I like Milwaukee don’t get me wrong! I have plenty of M12 and M18 tools
why would you say milwaukee was the best impact wrench of the 10 when it got outperformed by multiple cheaper alternatives. Every one of your videos just ends with "milwaukee is the best, but these other tools are cool too ig"
Came here for advice.
Got an advert for Milwaukee. 👎
I do automotive for a living and own the Dewalt DCF891 Mid Torque with the 5a Powerstack battery and love it. Compact and good power. For a high torque, I use a Hercules 1/2 impact, also with 5a battery. I tried their 1/2 compact Mid Torque wrench for a day before returning it (too weak) and getting the Dewalt
I use the Dewalt more often these days. Helps a lot that I live where cars do not rust
The Dewalt DCF891 is the better tool.
Personally I think the ryobi high torque is just awesome. Heaps powerful and same price as Milwaukee lower end impact wrenches.
Can’t go wrong if you’re on a budget!
Dcf891 all day, every day.
Milwaukee was only the best the year they came out with that model. My coworker’s falls on it’s face frequently
I have both and the Dewalt smokes the Milwaukee on the daily.
00:36 oh yea. That’s the stats I’m looking for.
I’m 76 years Yung. I only use corded tools! No electronics crap
How much does Milwaukee pay yall I’m sure it’s good!
11:29 I have two or three of these impact wrenches, the Dewalt and the Mabo, and they all are way stronger than the Milwaukee no comparison 11:36
China is buying out everything
Amazing
Makita is the best they use it at the Hyundai plant and the ford plant where they make cars strewing in thousands of screws inside the motor everyday
Stop with your biased reviews Dewalt wins they have the baddest wrenches everyone knows
