Best Right Angle Adapter? Milwaukee vs DeWalt, Milescraft, Westward, Auto Tool Home, Yakamoz

Adapters: Milwaukee (2 models), DeWalt (4 models), Milescraft, Westward, Autotoolhome, Yakamoz. Right angle attachments/adapters tested for performance under load, use with impact tools, temperature increase under load, maximum torque, and overall durability. Finally, the adapters were dismantled to assess cause of failure. I buy all of the products tested to ensure unbiased results. So, thank you for supporting the channel.

Considering this was a torque test more than anything, I have to say that dewalt flex shaft is perfectly fine when it's general use, such as my last job where I worked on vehicle interiors. A lot easier to deal with a flex shaft over a static position right angle adapter to get hard to reach screws and bolts.

[@tarstarkusz]

Using the right tool for the job. Personally, I don't like these stress-to-fail tests. This is not really how most tools die.

[@Chad_at_Big_CAT_Networking]

It's definitely more for light duty use than high torque. I blew mine apart trying to use it to drill 1/2 in holes in the top of a wall frame. If you've got it full speed and it's not perfectly aligned it likes to bind and spin like a pin wheel, with a sharp bit on the end!

[@RevelationAV]

@@tarstarkusz how do most tools die?

[@nikogarcia3249]

Thank you for having the inset box with a picture of each tool as you went over the graphs! That saves going back for visual checks.

The max torque tests are interesting, but you could almost always use a wrench or socket and breaker bar to loosen very tight bolts anywhere a right angle drive would fit.

[@deth3021]

I think it indicates how much headroom you have with the device. The more over spec it is, the longer it will likely last. This is where the whole test to failure concept comes from. Unless you break it you don't know where it's limits are.

The flex shaft Dewalt can be a sketchy situation if you don't have a good hold on that head and you're drilling. I was using it to do electrical work and drill 1/2" holes in wall headers where the roof made it a hard to reach area. If you're not holding on to that head it will kink and spin the whole thing.

I've been using the Milwaukee 8510 for years now and it's a real workhorse. I have no fears throwing a 1-1/2-in spade bit in it and drilling through pine, poplar or oak joists or beams. The adjustable handle is prone to coming loose, so you have to be careful storing it in your pocket and walking around. I've lost parts on it that way when the screw handle came out and the adjustment pieces scattered around. This is definitely a case of "you get what you pay for."

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@PetrosArgy]

@Ross Radford In soft studs you should be able to drill 3/4 inch holes all day long. The only thing you need to be careful of is hitting nails. That can cause the drill to twist in unexpected way and can be dangerous (I got my finger jammed really hard between a stud and the drill once when the whole thing twisted and locked up on my finger). It's actually safer to drill with an impact since it won't twist when the bit jams.

I was at the salvage yard removing a stereo off a Honda and needed a 90 degree driver to remove some bolts and a screw. I struggled using an offset screwdriver and a 1/4in ratchet in a tight space. Here I am again watching your videos to get phenomenal feedback on your test. Thanks!!

I literally have been looking to get one of these the past couple visits to the store but haven't pulled the trigger, perfect timing! 👍🏼

Awesome video. Perhaps a video on knee pad inserts would be good. Finding a good set can be tough. Comfort is subjective, but there are a lot of objective tests that could be done too.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the video idea!

I've put a few of these through their paces with Ford exhaust manifold bolts and other jobs so I had to immediately click 👍

[@ProjectFarm]

Great point! Only a couple of them can survive a hard hitting impact tool!

[@gunners4129]

90% of my use with them is hex drill bits with this tool run by a 3/8 snap on drill. I have found the cheap slim dewalt to hold the tightest circles with bits and handled far more abuse than my Milwaukee one. As always, awesome videos!

[@volvo09]

"I purchased 2 of each brand because we'll definitely be causing a lot of damage" Oh yeah! You are the best! BTW, Who would have thought doing small engine fuel and oil tests would bring you here!

[@ProjectFarm]

lol. I really miss the fun of the engine test. Remember the "sand eater" video?

I was interested to see a comparison on circular saws (7-1/4"), hope that's on your radar! You've helped me make a lot of good choices on tools like impact bits, slip jaws, and tape measures :)

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the video idea.

[@Cobyc5150]

I just bought a makita 36v 7-1/4, I really excited to see the results!!

[@jacksmith2315]

@@Cobyc5150 the rear handle/hypoid or the sidewinder/standard saw? Either way, both are great saws. The rear handle is more powerful but obviously heavier. The gears on the hypoid are basically a hybrid of a worm drive and sidewinder, hence being call a hypoid. Worm drive his more powerful than sidewinder, but sidewinders are more efficient. Hypoid you get the best of both worlds, just slightly less powerful than a worm drive.

[@jacksmith2315]

Andrej, i thought he did a comparison or circ saws. May have been the 61/2, but not 100% sure. I just remember seeing him test circ saws a while back

[@tekturtle]

Love to see you test ratcheting wrenches, especially the flex head ones. Unfortunately I doubt you'll be done testing before I get a set, but always glad to see how my tools hold up to your tests anyway.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@ppot8]

perfect timing, I was just reading reviews to determine which one to get. Thanks for all the hard work you put into testing. Nothing worse than a tool that breaks on day 1 of the job.

I never understood the idiot designer ideas of the finger molds..... all of our hands are different, let the USER decide where to put his fingers!!!

[@OneOfDisease]

Any flex shaft tool has a very limited application, when you need them they might just save your project. I guess the same could be said about all these adapters, but you definitely proved that spending a bit more for these is worth it if you are doing anything heavy-duty. Very well made tests as always.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@tikkidaddy]

Agreed ..for flex shaft foredom tools always seemed the best to me. Battery powered I just got the best Dremel I could get

[@wildefox1478]

Great video, definitely a pretty handy tool to have for getting in tight spaces, pushing the tools to failure with torture testing is always great to see!

[@ProjectFarm]

[@jordydereus]

Thanks. I just bought the 8510! Thanks for all you effort.

[@ProjectFarm]

Nice! You are welcome!

[@kevinosborne8308]

I've been using the same milwaukee 8510 for 6 years now. I've seen coworkers continue to buy the dewalt in every style, because they are cheaper. If you use 90's often get the milwaukee 8510, it might cost more than the others. But you won't have to replace it.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@adamjames1375]

I've used several brands over the years. The basic Dewalts have served me the best. For my application of mostly tek screws in sheet metal, or various wood screws, their balance of size and durability have worked the best.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@aamershaikh6409]

Thank you for all the hard work....I can imagine the amount of time and effort that went in to this fantastic comparison... worth every bit of it.

@@ProjectFarm - I am considering buying the "AUCO Durable Right Angle Drill Attachment Adapter, Impact Fit, Max Torque 500 in-lbs (56.5 Nm), All Tough Metal Body and Steel Gear" as available on Amazon. Looks to be similar to the Milwaukee 8510 for $20 less. Would be curious to see how it holds up!

[@ProjectFarm]

[@shawnbledsoe4909]

I just ordered the Milwaukee tool based on your test results. Thank you for all the tests. They have proved to be valuable to me a few times now. Very time consuming for you I’m sure. I would be interested in seeing a comparison on larger coolers for hunting/fishing/camping for an extended period of time. Are the newer ones worth the $$$ or traditional ones good enough? I would also like to see a comparison on torque wrenches if possible. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks, will do! Thanks for the suggestions.

[@athhud]

Curious as to how much difference a generous helping of quality grease would make. That DW60 was quite impressive! I’d wager that the difference in thermal mass between each tool renders the temperature test to be almost useless. That huge chunk of steel on that Milwaukee would require a lot of heat to change much. The lug nut test told me all I need to know though! I’ve used an older version Milescraft for years, but it seems I have been treating it a lot more delicately than necessary. I’m going to have to get a DW60 and flog on it like it owes me money! I never dreamed those things could take that much abuse.

[@zedorda1337]

Grease would of helped the ones with failed housing but only hurt the ones with failed gear teeth.

[@JadenRiley6494]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the temp test IS useful even with the thermal mass difference. I think this because it is showing off how well a tool can dissipate or transfer heat. A big thick piece of metal can absorb more energy or heat cooling down the gears even more. There is the downside of it holding all that heat longer, so it won't cool down as fast if you do get it too hot

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

[@walterbrunswick]

I'll tell you from experience... I bought two of the Milwaukee 8510 for the nominal price here in Canada, but I regret my decision - it is overweight and bulky for its designed purpose..... when do you need to drive in 50+ 3/8" lags at 90deg in under 30 mins???? As an HVAC contractor I would much have rather bought the 2390 had it been offered...... Now I'm pretty much giving away "useless weight" to whoever wants it ..

[@walterbrunswick]

I don't need to be lugging around that extra useless metal, especially up and down on commercial rooftop ladders, in the middle of a winter storm!! I like Milwaukee power tools, but some of their stuff is useless/overbuilt/crap

I recently bought the DeWalt DWARA 60 and this video has reassured me that I've bought a good angle adaptor. Seeing how much abuse it survived in the video it should certainly handle my use.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

[@freespeechfinland]

Bought mine in 2019. Use it occasionally. Works great. Is a must-have in a carpenter's tool box. I have noticed it heating up some but not to a level of concern. Only complaint in practical use is its thin and slippery, tubular form which can make it difficult to hold, causing it to turn and slip off the screw head in tight spaces. The Makita angle adapter seems to have a slightly better form in this regard but i haven't tested it.

[@misterbungle3251]

Great video as always! Timely, too. I just bought a right-angle adapter for my Dremel 400 series rotary tool, and I am loving it, so I suspect an RAA for my drill will not be far behind. Also, if you haven't done one on this tool already, I'd love to see a comparison of digital calipers!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@dmitrygear]

Great tests! Obviously not all of them are applicable to my scenarios but love how well you covered all aspects of the tools.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@c182SkylaneRG]

I'm glad I watched to the end, and I, as with everyone else down here, really appreciate the thoroughness of these tests! I've been using the Dewalt 60 for drilling wiring holes in the upper and lower wall plates. I finally had the gears give up on me, with the debris preventing the mechanism from turning at all, and had to purchase a replacement, for which I bought the same one again. Drilling seems to be relatively heavy-duty for these adapters, but they still make it infinitely easier to drill 90 degrees to the wood in places where the drill simply won't fit, as opposed to the electrician I hired who used an extremely long straight drill and said "just guess the angle, and try not to miss". In his defense, I think he'd be going through a 90 degree adapter every other day.
