Had to comment just for the outro song - thank for the effort you put into Makita content - I have just got the DTD172 in the UK. Makita's ergonomics are head and shoulders above Dewalt and Milwuakee on the vast majority of tool categories. Hikokis multi volt platform is slowly starting to become attractive. it's looking better and more reliable than Failvolt. Thumbs up.

[@robertrada4783]

Bro, Koki is poor poor poor man’s Makita. Unless you need nailers. Then it’s the other way around a hundred fold.

DeWalt has really turned the ship around with their drills and impacts. The DCF850 has been solid, yet I'm looking forward to the 870.

[@sofjanmustopoh7232]

DCF 860 has 208 FOOT POUND / 238 NM rating . It would strip out every single Phillips screw there is 😄

@sofjanmustopoh7232 The half-inch DCF 921 is a better choice for automotive and carpentry fastening. The 860 (and hopefully 870) would be better for detail work.

Great review, love the new animations. One thing you missed, Milwaukee has One key which can also customize your settings but sold as a separate tool.

[@tylerburden5144]

I run the gen 3 Milwaukee. If I were to run multiple platforms Id get a hikoki triple hammer, really like that one too

[@boosted2.4_sky]

The triple hammer isn't an advantage..It's actually probably the worst performance because the 3rd hammer will skip and the tool loses torque and has to ramp back up..garbage really

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

The triple hammer impacts are some of the nicest impacts to use, but only on certain tasks. I never use them on anything large. I've had them do weird things that Hikoki and their fans seem to ignore. But on small screws they are one of the most comfortable impacts to use.

Its ofcause highly subjective in the speediest. Placing the bit into the screw can't be done in the same pace. Just take a single long ass screw for a more accurate speed comparison. Love this channel and keep up the good work.

Finally some good fricken music...Oh and thanks for the showdown.

[@The_Story_Channel]

Great comparison. Every tool that I own is Makita, I am still on the 18v platform because they still meet my needs, especially with my homemade batteries. It's to bad that Panasonic is lacking in power , I like the design and looks of it, I would probably buy one if it was not so limited in performance, it might still be a good driver for cabinet makers that don't need to drive large fasteners.

[@Utuber-x44]

I might buy one if I ever saw one for sale anywhere

[@reignreincarnation5531]

similar here, almost pulled the trigger for the Panasonic, their brain+ battery looks good too, at least on paper. Will buy their other impact models in the future.

[@ToucanSamich]

Brilliant video, like the little bits of extra details like the chucks, small thing but honesly such a bugbear to have to two hand it to get a bit in. Would love if you chucked in a real cheapie like an Ozito from the big green shed to see if it can overtake some of the weaker performers. I bought into AEG before I was doing much DIY and now that I do a lot more I am still happy with them, comeptitive with the big 3 and good prices. Slowly expanding our their range nicely too

[@mayonaisesaladejamaismalade]

I have had the Bosch Freak Gen 1 and I have the latest one showcased in this video. Honestly, if you do some car work the ease of just swapping between sockets and different bits is just so much of a game changer. Sure it's slower and not as powerful as others, but the ease of versatility tops other metrics in my case. Also some solid piece of equipments. They have been through considerable abuse and pretty much all I had to change was that socket locking ring and orange rubber on the gen 1.

[@scottlamp3097]

The Bosch tools generally have a sizable performance gain with CORE batteries in my experience. The triple hammer is my go-to though

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

But so will most other brands with thier more powerful batteries, so a bit of a moot point really.

@@glennm449 but the point is all the other impacts are using standard batteries, if we switched to the pro batteries on all the tools the Bosch would still be losing as all tools get a sizeable performance boost when given 21700 cells, so it gets faster but so do all the other tools so in the end it stays slow comparatively.

I was glad to see you test with those old junk 5.0's. They almost never include their good batteries or chargers in kits, they make you buy them separate. So you end up with a whole bunch of 5's that run like shit on half their tools. I see people running HO 12's and stuff when they test and it's ridiculous. Not only because no one would ever run it like that, but also because it's basically a high priced accessory.

[@HotForgeChaos]

I can confirm the Milwaukee 5ah batteries are just plain ordinary. They get you going and do the job, but that's about it. I prefer the power output of the HO batteries but the bulkiness of them is a right pain, and my saw will just eat 5ah batteries for breakfast. From now on I'll just be buying Forge batteries, not much point carrying anything else around, maybe a pair of 3.0HO batteries for the nail guns. I also own the Gen4 impact, and its perfectly fine on a 5.0 unit for 99% of what a carpenter does; if I need to send home a big gnarly Spax screw then I MIGHT break out my 6.0HO for it. Now, can we do a Gib screw gun comparison so I can have full scale buyer's remorse after shelling out $450 on the Milwaukee screw gun today?

Have never seen a Makita table saw. Thanks for showing other brands, I am mostly Makita and Dewalt, but have tried other brands and TTI ridgid is a nice mid tier that is better than the brushless dewalt that isn't XR stuff. Good value. My sons brushed Dewalt circ saw is a crime to even have a name-brand on it. Its yellow like NoName brand food in canada and thats what it should be called. The XR cuts really well, felt pretty close to our 110 volt plug ins. Not sure for you guys with 220. But that brushed dewalt even with a diablo blade was very under powered.

wheres flex???

[@HotForgeChaos]

We don't get that brand here

The Bosch thrives on a pro core pack.

[@mrclive5]

It still wouldn't have won, not even close, but it definitely performs. I love mine, 32mm irwin speed bores aren't a problem.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

They all perform better on better packs.

[@mrclive5]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL so true, but please forgive me, I just had to defend the Bosch. It's not able to compete with the top players, but it does a fine job when paired with 21700 cells. I know you already know that, I just wanted to tell anyone who didn't. Cracking channel, keep it up!

[@pavo6050]

isn't the issue on the xgt chuck, that it is build for japan bits. i have the same, i put in a little piece of rubber with that the bosch bits wont drop out again

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

That can be part of the issue, but I have at least 8 Japanese chuck impacts, and they don't all do it. The Gen 2 40v has the detent ball in a different place causing the issue.

[@pavo6050]

@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL is it possible to change the clutch. Would be an interesting video if it is possible

Do Harbor freight’s not exist where you are, or are you a Non-U.S. reviewer?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Did you comment based solely on the thumbnail?

[@willhutton1516]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL yeah lol. Sorry. Most tool review channels are from the U.S. and are VERY loyal to their brand of tools lol. Milwaukee has some of the most loyal and probably hard-headed fans out there. They just don’t know how bad they have it with their warranty system. Hercules from Harbor Freight has a 5-year tool warranty (3-year battery warranty) that is just Over-The-Counter. Super easy to exchange and get a new tool.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

So from your comments I have come to the conclusion you work for Harbor freight.

Вот по этому автоматический патрон нафиг не нужен, терять оснастку во время работы, это гораздо хуже чем красиво её вставлять без оттяжки.
