[@vmcarpenter7889]

I have Makita as my main tool company and am still very happy with the brand. I started working as a mechanic in a shop and the shop uses Milwaukee tools and I constantly have tools either braking or batteries that are less then 6 months old don’t take charge. But there warranty department is great it’s pretty easy to send the tool for repair which is free they even pay for shipping both ways and they either rebuild most of the tool or just replace it.

[@steffendetrick]

You guys got to stop with this. Every time there’s a toool comparison on KZbin the comments get flooded with fanboys coming to the defense of their favorite brand. Then ya’ll come up with some BS story to try and convince everybody that the results are wrong. Nobody’s buying what you guys are selling. The only people that are gonna like these comments are people that are already in the Makita platform. Makita famboy’s are without a doubt the worst offenders when it comes to this. Followed by Milwaukee then DeWalt. You see this all the time. The Makita is a very nice drill but it has one flaw and for a lot of people I t’s a big one. It has a threshold and when It reaches that threshold it is programmed to just stop. I’ve had Milwaukee and Makita tools break.

[@joshuatwhaley]

@@axelhollenberger5051I've noticed around a ten to fifteen percent increase when paired with the proper battery. I love my Bosch tools, they may not always have the power of red and yellow, but the build quality is unmatched. I call it Festool quality (which I own plenty of) at Makita prices. Now, the problem with Bosch is the lack of store purchase ability. Yes, Lowes has some, but none of their pro Biturbo line. I basically have to order all mine from Amazon. If you're looking for a brand that you can buy pretty much anywhere, then DeWalt is the best. Then again, they need to be sold everywhere, so that when they break you can get an overpriced replacement quickly. Ha-ha

This is what puts me off Milwaukee. Unreal power when fresh out the box, but after a few months all of mine seemed to break! And the batteries are awful. I’m now into Makita, not as powerful as Milwaukee but I’ve never had a problem and still performs the same a year later.

[@afellowinnewengland6142]

Dear Pro Tool Reviews, you seem to have the resources to do a great video, but you're missing so much information. How about addressing the ergonomics of the tools? The noise/db level? The run time with included batteries? Rating controls and ease of use? Built in light performance? It's nice to know how quickly you can drill one hole, but how many can you drill before shutdown? Lastly, I think you should try a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finish or give category wins. Otherwise, if you're going to choose a single tool you need to give very detailed reasons why. Besides, an extra couple of minutes isn't going to make or break these videos. I have watched a number of your videos and I feel like you assemble great tools, but never fully deliver on the complete picture. Improve and I'll subscribe. Do great and I'll be a promoter.

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

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.

[@robertturner5213]

I agree with several of the other comments with regards to the batteries used on some of the drills during testing. The bosch is designed to work with the larger batteries 5.5ah and above to deliver full power. The same with the dewalt, its a flexvolt advantage drill thats designed to work with the flexvolt batteries. Using these higher output batteries is when the tools deliver the full power there designed for. Maybe the same with the other brands but not sure. Disappointing to see some tools came in without the batteries there designed for!

[@11211lcb]

Higher amp batteries do not help any tool deliver more power. Higher amp batteries simply supply longer run times between charges.

[@robertturner5213]

That is only partially correct. If you read the details on their websites and from personal use, the newer larger batteries deliver more power the tool can use. Hence why dewalt tools called 'flexvolt advantage' the tools have a power advantage while using flexvolt batteries. Also bosch biturbo tools get more power from Pro core batteries with capacities above 5.5Ah.

[@11211lcb]

@@robertturner5213 newer larger batteries typically are higher voltage. Higher voltage delivers more potential power. Higher amps deliver longer run time.

[@macvos]

​​@@11211lcbit's not the voltage with the Bosch, it's the number of cells. The voltage remains the same, but the output doubles because of the double rows of cells in the 5.5Ah and above batteries providing double the amperage. Power = voltage * amperage. Also, don't confuse amps (amperage = current) with amp-hours (=capacity). One is tank size, the other is displacement (in an imperfect analogy with voltage being revs).

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.

A gdzie skil?

If it’s not all the it’s not a fair test

[@jamesc7925]

I’ve had most of these brands and the Ridgid is my favorite

Batteries suck, drills don’t hold up, impacts don’t hold up. And mine are NOT abused

[@diagorasmoustakas249]

Great video :) But stop being milwaukee comercial.

[@miri1792]

Meanwhile testing old model of metabo while new one is out Metabo hpt DV18DC

[@jacksonbaker7914]

Hilti SF6H would be better than the Milwaukee. That would be more apples to apples in the lineup

[@mkeupurmnd]

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.

[@garrydhintz8017]

I wonder why they picked Milwaukee as the best when it didnt win 1st in a single statistic? Makita and Bosch litterally were top 5 or better on everything. Metabo really shredded on concrete drilling. Milwaukee was pretty much middle of the way next to ridgid kinda sitting towards the bottom of everything. Rigid is cheaper so youre better off buying them tbh.

[@JR-wn8cl]

From what I’ve heard ridgid warranty is a complete joke and Milwaukee is probably best in warranty according to many carpenters I know.

[@garrydhintz8017]

@@JR-wn8cl the main thing with Ridgid is that they share most of the same parts as Milwaukee and they share designs but ridgid is cheaper. If you care about customer service id actually steer you to Makita or DeWalt. I had an issue with a tool order that was placed through a fake DeWalt dealer. The real DeWalt rep helped sort things out, kept up great communication and sent me free t shirts and drill bit sets to show that they cared. I found that really cool and had i not bought makita tools right after id have ordered more DeWalt. They helped me get my money back even. To me that was awesome.

[@avronaut]

No frills. Just take a Bosch. But a Milwaukee is ok, too

[@BotakIsBald]

I'll crown the Flex....

[@rem-cr3hx]

Why'd you not include harts brushless model. It blows most of those away.

[@stevenhitthem77]

Best video I’ve seen so far

[@UsmanHydrie]

agreed

[@Protoolreviews]

Thanks!

[@Coombenderr]

As a electrician, it’s Milwaukee all the way

[@jeffstandish5226]

Better off just buying the Milwaukee ads hammer drill.

[@d.a.9937]

I see you excluded Metabo HPT to make it fair for the other brands. Well played, my friends. Well played.

[@nationlessnationalist]

For the price it's super tough to beat.

[@kevinbrowning3267]

That's what I use

[@kevinbrowning3267]

Metabo 36 volt

[@nationlessnationalist]

@@kevinbrowning3267 yeah the 36 volt has yet to let me down

[@sungkim742]

Please use ft-lbs.

[@christaylor-mn7yq]

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!!

[@bread-gz3rl]

I wouldve been testing them with the biggest battery you can put on them. Yes i hate my wrists and id be putting the 15AH on the dewalt

[@Protoolreviews]

Interesting choice.. 🤣 On the brightside, you've got runtime into next week!
