I'm on the Makita platform and always used the biggest and best they had. One day I realized all that heavy stuff is way overkill for 90% of what I need and I bought a lot of the sub compact line. I can only think of one instance the sub drill didn't have the beans. Other than that it's so nice to carry the lighter stuff but also have the big tools if needed. I also have the Milwaukee installation kit which is really nice too.

I’d rather have a lighter battery as long is it’s not crappy battery life like my little Milwaukee battery that can with my 18v kit. I don’t even know what the size is socks they didn’t even bother to put it on the battery but I’m assuming it’s probably something stupid like a 1.5. Otherwise I’m fine with a 2-3 amp battery on my Makita stuff. Only time I go with a giant battery is on something like an impact.

Algorithm recommended your channel and I appreciate you go straight to the point without screaming, waving your hands around, nor are doing any click-baity titles, new subscriber here. Having owned the Red 2801, I looked all over the place for concrete evidence that this non-Fuel tool would benefit from the better batteries but I never found anything previously, good to know it does! (as does it's successor which you feature here!) However since this model doesn't come with the hammer function (and I do need that for my house and for some parts of my parents/in laws house) I changed it to a 2904 that was on sale near Christmas, giving the 2801 to my dad who had a very old, very gutless, cordless screwdriver, but needed a proper cordless drill, I think he's quite happy with the 2801 for what he needs to do in the shed he has lol. I'll be browsing through your videos looking for that Forge video, if it's already out or if you'll have it out later :)

Key question that I sought to answer was which one feels best in hand with great performance and is lightweight. 95% of the time I use my drill/driver the project is done with under an hour of tool use. Hope that's helpful feedback as you do future reviews.

Ridgid gen 2 sub compact is my lightweight alternative to my Milwaukee gen 4. I love the Milwaukee but the Ridgid is nice for little stuff and still can drill some decent size holes in metal AS LONG AS YOU STEP UP YOUR BIT SIZES PROPERLY! Everyone I know tries to grab the size they need when it comes to drilling metal and it just don’t work that way. Change your bits, step up 3 or 4 times and you will DRASTICALLY INCREASE the longevity of your bits and actually make holes FASTER. The bigger your bits get the slower you need to run to actually cut better.

@@Tools-Tested I should update you on this subject. I decided to run my own test between the DCD 999, the Milwaukee 2904 and the Flex turbo. I tested all of them as kitted, and a purposely didn’t use the turbo mode on the Flex to keep it fair Both Milwaukee and DeWalt beat the Flex in speed. I had a coworker, run the comparison with me, and we both agreed that a Flex is not comfortable to hold for very long. Despite being the second heaviest, the Dewalt is freakishly, smooth and didn’t even get warm. The Flex and the Milwaukee got a little warm, but not really that bad. I tested him fairly hard with some really long drillbits going through 8 inches of wood. Now I’m trying to decide between Milwaukee and Dewalt, but I think I’m also gonna test , the high torque Ridgid .

@@Tools-Tested I used three different types of drill bits in each drill. The first was a 16” long by 1/2” diameter Dewalt twist bit. The second was a Diablo self feeding spade bit of the same dimensions. The third was a self feeding Diablo auger bit of the same dimensions. I sandwiched a 4x4 between two 2x4’s because I want a drill that can drive a bit through that in one shot so I can reinforce stress points with carriage bolts. My coworker and I each drilled one hole with each bit in each drill, and I was impressed by all three drills, but the Flex just isn’t that comfortable to hold for a long period of time. The Dewalt definitely stayed the coolest, and that’s why I think the larger body is better for a drill of that power level. Bigger fan and more ventilation. I really think I want to run the same test with the Ridgid because I already have a couple of Ridgid tools and a couple of Dewalt tools. I will say that the argument could be made that the Milwaukee would benefit from a CP3.0 battery or a forge battery.

@@francocalcagni9323 Yeah definitely, was definitely spelled wrong 😂. Thanks, I’ve been trying to get straight to the point. Trying to emulate what I would like to see in a video, cutting out all the fluff.

Using a brand's BIGGEST battery doesn't mean it's getting its best performance. I've seen cases where their 5ah or 6ah will actually outperform a brand's 8ah,10ah, and 12ah....TTC (and you) shows it frequently People tend to overlook Metabo HPT..but they're a decent pro brand..

Yep. Ridgid is one where the 4Amp hr either regular or max output is fine.amd you get about 95% of advertised power. Which is ample power for most jobs. I have a lot of 4 aH batteries. I just swap them. The performance boost of a 6 or 8 aH battery doesn't justify the cost. I'd rather swap them out. I only got 2 6 ah for run time gains on my grinder.

That Flex battery is so big, might as well hook up a car battery. Jeez. The huge batteries add a lot of weight to a compact drill, which, to me, defeats the reason for using a compact.

DeWalt is nice, nobody is using a 12ah on the Milwaukee to get good performance lol

Good performance yes...BEST performance no...if you need the best performance you grab an 18v.. but 12v is sufficient for many/most tasks

No but they would use a 6.0 forge. I’m glade see Milwaukee keeping the all Metal chuck and upgrading to metal around the clutch. DeWalt really needs to upgrade there build quality.

@@FusionBoost2.0 it all depends on what ur doing. Every day all day I swap out batteries depending on what I’m doing. If I’m drilling pilot holes or even using spade bits I’m using a 3.0 HO. If I get in to auger bits or hole saws I put on a bigger battery when I’m done switch back to the small battery.

It depends. If you’re normally doing mid level tasks but once a week need to drill a ridiculously large hole, it can be nice to know that you can perhaps hold off on buying a Hole Hawg.

That’s not the Makita compact that’s the sub compact. It would have had a much better ranking had it been a fair comparison.

Ages went into this video, it's brilliantly done - but I have zero clue what any of the graphs show & it's all just a bit beige - the channel needs to remove the boring as heck Factor from these videos. Connect the drills up to a stick of dynamite, see can they twist it & survive the blast - anything - just lose the "boring" and vague.
