3/4" IMPACT Wrench BATTLE - Milwaukee vs Makita vs Kress TESTED to the MAX

[@1_2_Many_Projects]

Makita's 40v 3/4 gun is SO much better than that one

[@rupertm2542]

I think the fact Milwaukee are churning out so many tool speaks volume on how much R&D they’re not doing. While I agree they’re powerful, I’ve seen a lot of people say they’re throw away items. Whereas Makita can be repaired by even a layman. I made the mistake of buying a Milwaukee chop saw a few years back, it was 2 degrees off true, which is a lot when you’re doing second fix timber work.

[@99unclebob]

almost 5 years ago is when i purchased my 3 Makita impact wrenches, 3/8",1/2" and 3/4" the DTW 1001 thats how old it is and your other 2 ar recent within the last 24 months or less, I work in the heavy steel industry here in Canada and my co- workers have Dewalt, Milwaukee and Ridgid ,I have never had a warranty claim or needed service on any of my Makita impact wrenches or batteries or the chargers since i have owned them, the rest have had to do so, the Dewalt and Milwaukee guys have had to do the most , Milwaukee is bad for getting parts although the service is quick the parts are not, Dewalt is stupidly expensive to service, far more than any of the 4 purchased, my 1/2" impact wrench is almost as strong as the 3/4" one , One your right about ,Makita takes more years than any other cordless tool company to bring a new /revised tool to market, they don't need to, the existing works reliably and really doesn't breakdown like the other companies do and i have used Makita drills since the 80's when they had the 9.6 volt drills that were indestructible , too bad they quit making them, they were beasts 👍

[@AlexKall]

Yes, it's anti-vibration for the battery/board, to protect it from the impacting vibrations when used. Vibrations kills batteries/electronics.

[@MachineryNation]

Good point cheers 👍🏼

[@marccadec6978]

The biggest issue with Milwaukee (apart from build quality) is you can't get spares/parts, where's with other makes you can every little bit. 20 years ago they were very good when they were owned by atlas copco/aeg.

[@NBK3524]

Only issues with Milwaukee is they're throw away tools the cost to fix them is more or near the cost of a new tool where as the Makita Bosch ECT are fixable at a low cost

[@michaellarkin8049]

Low cost fix because theyre shit. Why have a 3/4 drive gun if igg cant undo large nuts?

[@djrtime1398]

My 1/2” Milwaukee impact started acting up and was out of warranty. The cost to fix no matter what was wrong was $199 US. A brand new tool with warranty is $249 US. Of course the extra $50 is an easy choice, but I can’t stand the thought of the old tool/boat anchor laying around that in reality would prolly run fine with minor repair. I hate Milwaukee for that.

[@NBK3524]

@@michaellarkin8049 why wouldn't use you use a breaker bar at first anyways 🤔

[@michaellarkin8049]

@@djrtime1398 they got a warranty of five years. How long do you expect it to last? As the video showed above you can get a diffenr tool that uuou can 'fix' but theres no point even owning the tool if you can use it for the job intended. Maybe wehave different expectations but if i can thrash something and work every day i dont expect something socheap to last more than 5 years.

[@marccadec6978]

I have two Bosch impact guns,both at least 7 years old.

[@kbbenkwith539]

When it comes to 3/4 offerings, the Makita 40v gun is much better than the 18v one…

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Really enjoyed this video lads

[@MachineryNation]

Thanks Robbie 👍🏼

[@is5032]

Isn’t that Milwaukee superseded already with a new model?

[@ashtreecare]

Excellent video again James it's got to be the most painful thing I have watched treating that Milwaukee like that 🤣👌

[@MachineryNation]

I know, it hurt a lot 😂😂

[@zarajoe1]

How old is the review and your testing the LXT Makita. Where the XGT 40v Makita? Also Makita teal by the way not blue

[@winfields13]

isn't the new milwaukee 1/2 inch more powerful than the old 3/4 inch tested here would like to see that tested against the winner

[@MachineryNation]

Could well be, we will test this 👍🏼

[@MrZimmaframe]

The Makita impact wrench you tested is like 10 years old lol, they have a newer more powerful 3/4" on their new 40v line. And it's best in class from the numbers and other testing channels apparently. Does price come into this comparison? Because I own Milwaukee but I ain't paying £200 for a 6ah battery, even it is black and says "Forge" on it.. a normal Makita or that other brand are using batteries you can get for £50-60... And from someone who owns multiple Milwaukee impacts, the battery connection from the battery to tool are always sloppy and have a lot of play. They end up after 2-3 years good use losing connection or cutting out because of the sloppiness. A lorry mechanic friend of mine uses makita and they may not be as powerful but boy are they more reliable. 👍🏻

[@jimxyz8150]

Good vid....try the gen 3 milwaukee iam thinking buy 1😊

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you, we try what we are sent from the manufacturers, so can’t be to choosy haha.

[@derrasenmaher9730]

Nice Video and great test even with soaking them into water 😁 please dont try this at home 😁 I would take the Milwaukee like it.

[@MachineryNation]

Thanks mate 👍🏼

[@derrasenmaher9730]

@@MachineryNation I dont know if you have any Bosch Professional tools in the UK but I almost have everything from them. Maybe you could test one of them next time 😁

[@dougr3715]

Cool video!

[@MachineryNation]

Thanks

[@alexrowdy2718]

Milwaukee rulezzzzzzzz !!!

[@stephenkelly2067]

My 1/2 milwaukee takes off 4 wheels on one go no sweat on nh tractor wheels

[@DJC995]

Nice One Guys Thanks again

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you Darran 🥳

[@MrAirblade85]

Milwaukee hat zwar die brutale Power doch kann einfach nicht meit der langlebigkeit und Ergonomie eines Makitas mithalten.

[@robdixon786]

Class loved that was the best review you could do still i do think the Makita was broken 😂😂

[@AlexKall]

Would have to take it apart to see if anything broke from the impact because of the anti-vibration feature.

[@billgates2903]

Looked floppier than my Makita tbh

[@AlexKall]

@@billgates2903 I agree, would be interesting with a tare down to see if something broke and if it did, what it was that broke.

[@MachineryNation]

We did compare against Josh’s own 1/2 and it was similar sloppiness 👍🏼

[@AlexKall]

@@MachineryNation thanks for the answer!

[@roger4880]

Would never buy Kress, Chinese brand 💩

[@loucifer4205]

So is Milwaukee

[@rynovermaak8081]

best warranty in Africa on the kress and if used with the correct battery,it will show it's true power

[@danariusrobinson5215]

All of them are Great

[@s.kxx1956]

These tool tests are certainly making an impact !

[@MachineryNation]

Haha, love it!!

[@fortyone8203]

Why not use the XTG Makita 3/4?

[@MachineryNation]

Very good point. We invite manufacturers to send us these tools and say what we are doing and they send us what they think is correct.

[@Redneckkidd2007]

Xgt is 40v and in a whole other world on torque

[@theoxfordshirehunter492]

Having the forge battery on the milwaukee was a smart move for sure, as you're upping the spec of the impact straight away 😅

[@MachineryNation]

👌🏽

[@aibacninja201]

It is very clear that the experience is directed, and the smell of hidden advertising is clear

[@MachineryNation]

No hidden advertising here. We were fair all the way through. Just passion for brands.

[@88ElevenShop]

Milwaukee and Makita Very good ! Im From Viet Nam. Thank You !

[@MachineryNation]

@@88ElevenShop awesome thank you. Please share our video in Vietnam 🤩

[@rynovermaak8081]

You're not getting the full power on the kress as you need a 8ah battery on it . I've taken on much bigger and torqued up bolts with it , so next time try same batteries on the tools for a fair test as jou can buy a kress with 2x 8ah batteries for the same price as a bare tool Milwaukee

[@DempsterDave]

Like, who dunks their rattle gun in a bucket of water?

[@almclean4835]

Funny guys, had me chuckling all the way through. What does kill these impacts is salt water, I’ve repaired two.

[@MachineryNation]

Thanks Al. Good point!

[@therealdojj]

So where would you really use these for other than industrial places? Plus, the DeWalt one is supposed to be the best when other places have tested it, against the red one 👌

[@inga.hamsteren5552]

Happy easter guys😊❤

[@MachineryNation]

And you Inga 🐣

[@jossmith1990]

It would be good to see a Dewalt tool in the line up 👌🏻

[@MachineryNation]

100%

3/4 ​Coming soon ​@MachineryNation

[@brucehill9495]

And a habor freight

[@cryingeva]

Makita you should use 6ah battery

[@MachineryNation]

1ah wouldn’t make enough difference 👍🏼

[@brendanholden4340]

what about doing a test on battery powered first fix nail guns

[@bleyz3557]

Pretty much all of those sucks in terms of performance. MIlwaukee is still waiting for new 3/4 based on their newest 1/2 inch monster, Kress is like who cares, noname in other words, and Makita only cares about their xgt line. Inviting dewalt is pointless as they also wait for new 3/4 gun based on their overkill dcf961. If you want to get powerful gun it is better of waiting for new releases from milwaukee or dewalt or getting new milwaukee 1/2 inch wrench, dewalt dcf 961 on the other hand is killing itself type of a gun as 1/2 anvil inch is barely holding it together with that amount of torque.

[@deanriley5690]

I've never seen more warranty returns in my trade than all others put together. They are absolute rubbish.
