Best Impact driver bits | Part 2 | Milwaukee vs Wiha vs Wera vs Bosch | Matrix Carbide

Welcome back to part 2 series on Best Impact Driver bits.
If you haven't seen part 1, watch it here: • Best Impact driver bit...
I don't know about you, but I use an impact driver when ever possible. So bits are important when it comes to transferring that power into the fastener.
In this video we are bringing into the series of tests some of the most requested premium bits from Milwaukee, Wiha, Wera, Bosch.
Milwaukee Matrix Carbide bit
Wiha Terminator bit
Wera Impactor bit
Bosch Impact bit
For the test we drove 100 griprite 3 inch PH2 exterior screws into 2x4 and landscape lumber.
For the test we used the Dewalt DCF887 and Milwaukee Fuel 2853 impact drivers.
Later on start with the bosch started using the Makita XDT14. Will get more into this later in a different video.
Each impact driver bit drove 100 screws back to back (no rest in between), alternating impact drivers.
All the screws and bits used in the test were brand new, and purchased with my own funds at my local hardware store. This video was not sponsored and I am not affiliated with any of these companies. I hope this video was helpful, and we'll see you guys.... NEXT TIME!!!

SORRY. re-read my initial comment and as usual, when I don’t proof read, I look more ignorant than I really am.. Your testing is absolutely spot on with my experiences. I’ve found the Milwaukee bits are NOT what they should be. I own a construction company and we go through bits. Because of your testing, I just ordered a mix of Wiha and Wera bits. IF IVE LEARNED one thing over the past 50 years..... high quality, well organized and maintained tools pay dividends. These days, we are booked out months in advance and could easily work 7 days a week.... using better bits, screws etc makes a marked difference in time quality, reduced time and fewer accidental damages

[@8bitsamurai6]

Agree quality goes alot longer in a trade. And worth the money imo.

[@manujaen3999]

Upgraded from an older 18v kit. kzbin.infoUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.

[@frankyfe4827]

Nice tests. I use Robertson drives most of the time as I live in Canada but I think the results apply more or less. Metal hardness is a significant factor in bit life as its a trade off between wearing and breaking. Impact bits are softer to avoid breaking in hard joint applications so they correspondingly wear faster. But for your test driving into softwood, you may find regular bits to last better.

[@JudgeBuster]

This guy is not an experienced tradesman. Be sure of that. Using impact drivers for softwood fastener applications is just plain dumb. I never use them. I use quality drills with torque clutch adjustment for the chuck. This guy knows nothing

[@imlkrsfn]

@@JudgeBuster since you're the expert why don't you take the time to make a video and teach us?

[@illecebris8709]

Nice and honest review! I use always Wera bits and tools and its a fantastic German brand. They also produce some of their tools in Czech Republic.

[@stephenkarlsen2954]

Please do part 3. Love your strait forward approach to testing.👍

[@4thewinak]

will get on it

[@8bitsamurai6]

Yea wera and wiha aren't cheap at all. I uselly stick with makita but recently got some max fit on sale. Only issue I have woth dewalt is bit heads are a bit thick for some situations. Great video to know tho.

[@4thewinak]

Great point!

[@akhb1]

Instead of screwing into wood, use 1/2" HardieBacker Cement board and screw that into 2x4 using cement backerboard Phillips screws and go flat with the board. This will truly strain the bits, also go vertical not horizontal.

[@4thewinak]

I thought about the different material, but the cement board would easily break after a few screws and not put as much compression force on the screws.... i think...

[@frankb8616]

I spent a ton $$ on PBSwiss bits then I picked up some cheaper (way cheaper) WERA bits and they are the best hands down.

[@4thewinak]

agreed

[@Bshwag]

I have found the bosch bits to be pretty nice for the price

[@ckone671]

Awesome test brother, thank you!

[@oldporkchops]

Looking forward to part 3

[@oldporkchops]

Thanks for letting me know. I'll go watch it now.

[@oldporkchops]

It wasn't immediately clear what's the difference between the three rounds of tests and why some were left out from some. Perhaps a quick recap of the two earlier rounds would have been helpful?

[@Razkii26]

pb swiss tools makes quality bits aswell

[@danielruiz8486]

Seguí así amigo estaría bueno que lo subtitularas para gente que sabe inglés un saludo de 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷👍

[@SGtidbits]

Where's part 3? It's been almost a year since you upped this vid. Was only 2 months between part 1 and part 2. I liked both of those by the way.

[@4thewinak]

Thanks! Just started it up again. Posted a picture in the community tab about it. Hopefully we can get it out soon. Some of these impact bits are just too darn good.

Great job. a new sub to your channel. About to go for a Red brand thank goodness I clicked your videos.

[@williamCosimo]

Lets get it. 🇨🇦😎👍🏼

[@tonymartin3780]

Hello hope you don’t mind me saying you should have used the 49mm Wiha but against the Milwaukee bit as the results would have been more accurate personally I used mine on 1000 screws with the Wiha bit and mine is still going I use a metabo impact gun also thanks Good review

[@4thewinak]

Will take that into account. Didn't know there was that 49mm wiha

[@tonymartin3780]

4thewin hello , yes the do make the Maxtor T/Y and aggressor (all made in Germany )these are the names in various countries around the world. I am sure you will like these as they perform differently 29m (good demo )

[@brittanylevinson741]

Thanks for your reviews. I have loved my Wiha hand tools but I may go Wera for my impact bits. Great video!

[@gecos246]

Nice video, I think depends on quality or how old are the wood witch you are working.I have Bosch...Keep going.

[@JudgeBuster]

See my remarks above. This guy is not a skilled tradesman by any means

[@apmgold]

Hey Man, Lovin' the vids and subbed because of them. Just one point , where is part three of "Best Ipact Driver Bits". As I mentioned , I subscribed due to the other vids, but I'm losing sleep waiting for part 3 !!!!!

Great video thanks for the revew Wera wiha and bosch💪💪💪 great quality Germany tools the best bits, lenghts here from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

[@4thewinak]

Yeah I've always used WERA. Quality stuff!

[@mattwalden9402]

Milwaukee impacts less than dewalt... need to use same impact for accurate results

[@Jikktastic]

Interested in hitachi/metabo review and comparison 🍻

[@MrChris-bx7ss]

Milwaukee stopped selling that bit.

[@bluemantom77]

I only care what brand that fits well and I get my best bang for the buck DeWalt maxfit is a good value for the money Bosch is good too not Haten wera bits at all I think they make a Bosch set like this older now even Apex has bits that are ok I am ok with Milwaukee too

[@4thewinak]

yep. most people will most likely lose the bit or something else before they wear out.

[@jameshanoomansing1442]

wera all the way

[@user-tw9io9nz2m]

I have a set of the Wera Impaktors, I could do with a lower profile holder. The bits are very nice though and fit very well

[@robzen4387]

Thx for the Video. Did you tested pb swiss tools bits?

[@4thewinak]

Not yet!

[@skyemac8]

Use torx instead. The best.

[@user-fc2kc6xe2m]

Why don't you test Vermont bit ll want to know each bit material and ils hardness

[@stevennihipali3607]

I have never had a Milwaukee bit turn out the weight do you like you did in part 1. That we must have been defective or something

[@dvxAznxvb]

Sup bro, I'm hoping your channel will get into actual hardware brand wars, drill bits are nice in all but I hate for you to break your wrists bro lol, keep it up I like the edits

[@4thewinak]

thanks man. Been debating on hardware brand wars, as so many of them already on the web. But I have a few in the works, and may include some more. Thanks for the support.

[@user-fc2kc6xe2m]

U Good advertisting

[@clearriver5987]

what is number 1 best bits

[@4thewinak]

will have to finish the series, but in reality, the best bit is what ever you have on hand.

[@4thewinak]

WERA impaktor. Check part 3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ2ufaqCm9KlnK8

[@josiplacic1230]

I got wera impaktor and makita gold i am happy i can test them side by side I will mever get dewalt od milwaukee because they arent sold in my country

[@4thewinak]

wera and makita are top notch bits. can't go wrong with either.

[@4thewinak]

WERA impaktor bits really are the best. check part 3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ2ufaqCm9KlnK8

[@JudgeBuster]

This guy has only 615 subscribers. That should speak for itself. Experienced tradesman like myself just laugh at these amateurs who are obviously not experienced tradesman with years under their belt. Another phony internet expert with no stated background as a full time tradesman. Don't be mislead by any of this obvious nonsense by an OBVIOUSLY unskilled amateur

[@ActuallyThijs]

You have 0 subscribers, guess i should never hire you... Not that I would ever choose someone like you, just because I can already imagine how people like you handle their customers. Cant help but wonder if you act like this to anyone who's job is not only driving screws all day long. This guys content is good content and it tells me what i wanna know, doesnt matter whether he is handeling the bits perfectly.

[@JudgeBuster]

@@ActuallyThijs Well goody for you. Amateur tradesman prefer other amateurs since their skill level won't get insulted by pros who truly know. I know how you feel....

[@ActuallyThijs]

@@JudgeBuster I do this purely for a hobby, I don't care about how good you are i just care about the extremely sad way you are acting. As i said before, there is no reason to be so negative about this guy, he seems to be doing something that he likes to do and the information shown in the video is actually helpfull. You just come across as a person who is not interested in making themselves a better person but just in hating on others to make yourself feel better.

[@JudgeBuster]

@@ActuallyThijs I get it. It doesn't matter that he's presenting flawed & false quality & value information..... just so long as he's a nice guy. If accuracy & valid information doesn't matter to you then watch away & enjoy being misled. False data leads many people down the wrong path

[@ActuallyThijs]

@@JudgeBuster The point of this video is to compare the durabiliy of different bits, it doesnt matter if he isn't using exactly the right techniques doing so as long as he handles them all the same. I don't see how this results in flawed & false information.

[@JudgeBuster]

Here's why this alleged "scientific" comparison is a sham and a joke. One good reason: Observe how this plainly unskilled YT video reviewer drives these 300 screws into, of all things, soft pine common 2 by board. He drives the 300 screws using ALL of his upper body weight and arm strength, and putting totally unnecessary weight and additional torque onto driving each and every screw. As Experienced, truly skilled tradesman will laugh at this plainly amateurish test. As experienced tradesman know, you do NOT have to use such excessive & unnecessary weight & torque when driving screws (or any fasteners) into common wood or even lightweight metal used in most construction jobs. In fact, if you are properly skilled you will know that using too much muscle driving common screws is completely unnecessary. Once started, the screws or other fasteners will drive themselves into common pine 2 by board without the need to use all your upper body weight and strength to get the screws seated. Instead, what we see this amateur doing is driving screws into the board until splinters pop out of the board. Imagine this amateur installing deck boards at your house. The job would be a mess when finished due to splinters kicked up from overdriving screws as this guy does. Don't waste your time believing any of this nonsense since the videos creator displays his own incompetent, inexperienced skill while performing this phony scientific, empirical test. Don't use impact drivers for EVERY screw & fastening job. USE a drill with an adjustable torque clutch adjustment. The screws or fasteners will stop when property seated. All this video shows me is that untrained, inexperienced people use the wrong tool, in the Wrong way, and the results are there for any sensible tradesman to see. Most screws & fasteners will drive themselves into most materials without having to use all your upper body weight and pressure on the drill or impact driver to get properly seated and secure. These amateur reviews are all over YTube and are completely unscientific and without valid empirical methodology. Don't be mislead or fooled by such nonsense

[@ActuallyThijs]

Someone seems a bit triggered here, no need to comment twice about it though. No matter how he handles the bits, as long as he does it the same for all of them it will be a good comparison.

[@user-so7dj3tw4d]

Hey if these bits can hold up to an amateur they should last way longer in the hands of a professional. I haven't had to buy a bit since I got my carbide matrix shockwaves. Been on the same bit the whole time it still looks new because I know how to handle my impact. I've seen people eat up like 3 bits a day and it just boggles me how they can continue to do this and not learn from it. I really just wanted to ask why you watch this KZbin when he is such a fraud? I've seen your comments on his other videos to and it seems like you want to be the one to show the world how to handle tools. Just remember if you do make videos that everyone watching is like you... They think they are the only professional contractor to ever walk the earth and everything you do is wrong.. No matter what! It takes real guts to come out and talk about things that interest you especially if your not a "pro" but when you start throwing the pro word around it opens you up for a lot of scrutiny. This guy never claims to be a pro all he claims to do is test the durability of the bits. He handled them all the same and posted the results. Not like he claimed to be a super mega master pro... For a pro you sure seem to have alot of spare time to watch KZbin videos about things you should know already like which brand is the best for your line of work.. So why are you really here?
