This man is spending a lot of money for our benefit free to us. I hope everyone is liking his videos so the algorithm gets him more views!

[@Tools-Tested]

Thanks for the support! yeah its a lot of money, hopefully the views increase. I don't have much $ left lol.

[@havanasyndrome3024]

​@@Tools-Tested Wanna views, just gotta get few chicks to shake their asses for your into. That's the world we live in. So get your sister and mom or to the garage and tell them to put their "assets" to use.😂

[@Griffinwoodworks]

I bought the craftsman one on clearance for $40 just to have the extra battery for my hedge trimmers and ratchet. Those are the only craftsman tools I own and that drill may not hang with my Milwaukee, but it can definitely hold its own for someone just needing a general household drill. I use it as a loaner so if I don’t get it back in working order, I’m not mad at anyone lol.

[@Tools-Tested]

Yeah you can’t beat that at 40, It definitely has good power. That’s a good point, if you let someone borrow it and they destroy it your not out much.

[@gigilaco]

Just found your channel and I love it man! You’re going to hit 1M in no time, I’m sure of it. Just stay unbiased, throughout, and maybe add some calm music while you’re testing them like Project Farm does. It ties it all together and makes it more enjoyable. Good luck!

[@Tools-Tested]

Thanks! Yeah I'm defiantly unbiased and plan to stay that way. Music is tricky, I need to find a good source. I agree it plays a huge role in making it enjoyable. Hopefully things pick up some, I don't expect 1M or even 100,000 anytime soon. Just wish I could get enough views to pay for the tools. I really like making the test equipment, but I might have to take a break. Its extremely expensive and I don't care to be in more debt. We will see hopefully it works out, thanks for the support!

Good video. I have two of the Bauer ones and like them quite a bit even though one has developer an intermittent trigger (mechanical issue I procrastinate to investigate). My biggest gripe is with the batteries, I must have bought half a dozen or more of them for each drill (I have the drills in separate addresses) because they die quickly, and I always end up having to decide whether to switch system ($$$) or replace them ($). The decision in the short term is obvious, but in the long term is starting to no longer make sense. BTW, I am not using these drills very often, but the batteries will fail to charge at some point as I put them on the charger. I did not want to put the batteries in the trash, so I still have some of the failed ones in my garage in case you wanted to look into them. Love your videos. Ciao, Marco.

[@calculator1841]

Don't store outside or leave on charger overnight. Almost nobody treats the batteries correctly why there's a large complaint segment for every brand.

[@Tools-Tested]

Thanks! Interesting maybe time to look at Hercules, I know the extreme packs have Samsung cells. Im going to test the Bauer battery's this week and do a teardown. Im curious to see what cells are inside. Thanks for the info!

@@Tools-Tested Anytime!

[@jamalshamah7280]

I bought the bauer a long time ago, was a pretty good drill. Still works great

[@Tools-Tested]

Nice! I really do think it's a good value.

[@tomolarney440]

I have a brushless ozito hammer drill with 60Nm it cost me a $129 with a handle and no batteries but with batteries and charger $140

[@mrallan8063]

What about Black and Decker? They have the entry consumer drill... and they make Dewalt (and Craftsman now?).

[@ericweyker1067]

I'm curious to see where Black and Decker would end up on the chart as well.

[@Tools-Tested]

Honestly I have yet to buy it, I was already maxed expense wise for the month. I just don't have the money like large channels. I do plan to test it in a part 2 along side the brushed ridged, Milwaukee, ryobi. Im also having trouble determining which Black & Decker to test, they offer a good amount of different models. Might have to be a video just for Black & Decker.

[@mrallan8063]

@@Tools-Tested BD would definitely be interesting, since they have two drver offerings that I know of... a standard budget drill, and their Maxtix line with swappable heads. My first drill was a BD until I wanted better battery life, and started building out my Dwalt XR tools. So far, zero issues with Dewalt XR and 5ah batteries. I think the BDs are 1ah or 1.2ah... both not good on hardwood, and not a lot of power.

[@Tools-Tested]

@@mrallan8063 That maxtix is interesting, probably next month I will do a part two. Yeah the battery options are limited with budget tools. The XR line has tested really well, I love the 3" cut off tool.

[@davidisthis]

Where are you doing for your craftsman tools? I seen that on Amazon they had incredibly high craftsman drill prices but at Lowe's they're sixty dollars. Or sometimes you can find a deal and get the drill and impact for less than a hundred.

[@three-phase562]

I think brushed motors in power tools have had their day really. Even serious DIY are likely to avoid them now, probably just for someone to screw their house number to their door and never use again. I haven't seen a single speed box on a drill for years.

[@calculator1841]

Brushless is unnecessary. Enjoy the microprocessor failures and failed permanent magnet from excessive heat/use.

[@gf2e]

@@calculator1841 Brushed motors have permanent magnets too. They probably don't fail as often because the brushes die before the magnets get damaged :) Good brushed tools have been around for ages. I think they can make good brushed tools. But everything expects good tools to be brushless nowadays so I expect that only the lowest end tools will be brushed partially due to consumer expectations.

[@three-phase562]

@@gf2e Several manufacturers can and have made excellent brushed tools in the past. When battery tools were in their infancy, the larger SDS tools were still mains powered and brushed motors. But as you say, consumer expectations play a big part, and will drive the market, that has a desire to sell products to survive and grow. I think it was the trigger that went on my brushed Ryobi battery drill before anything else.

[@engineer_alv]

​@@gf2e brushed motors are like manual transmissions on cars. Those have historically been more reliable than automatics, and when they fail it usually doesn't go past the clutch which would be much cheaper to replace than the whole gearbox. But people no longer want mechanical shifting and the few that still do have to settle with an econobox or a sports car. But even those are mostly automatics now as the multi speed transmissions are now faster than most manuals even with experienced hands

[@kalybnielsen4183]

​@@gf2eAnother plus of brushed tools, much cheaper and you can get brushes or even replacement motors for almost nothing, a 775 Mabuchi motor is $10, and you can even upgrade for either more torque or more speed

[@canucha1985]

I have the Hart as well as Bauer and Craftsman. The Hart is definitely huge compared to the other two but it hasnt failed me yet. The Bauer I've had to warranty it out twice, one started smoking and the second one just died randomly from one day to the next. The Craftsman is solid and i bought it cuz i got it on clearance, if it was regular priced I wouldve passed on it. Will you be doing a Brushless version test of these? Thanks gor the great content and for using budget friendly brands in your tests. Other channels just focus on the top end and leave us DIYers hanging.

[@Tools-Tested]

Thanks for the info! I agree the craftsman is only worth considering when onsale. I did test the brushes models in 2 separate videos Best Brushless Drill Driver? Mid Spec kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4fPi394j7Z9eJo No problem I try to focus on the complete range so you can really see if spending the extra $ is worth it.

[@canucha1985]

@@Tools-Tested I appreciate the reply. Wasn't expecting that. Lol. I saw your video for brushless ones and again, thanks for a thorough testing and compassion of the tools. I jumped on the Hart line because I like the colors and I have multiple Walmart stores in the area, so I can usually find what I need there without ordering online. I also like the fact that they're releasing a lot of different items compared their sister brands Ryobi, Ridgid and Milwaukee. Yes, a lot of the early Hart tools seemed to be exact Ryobi clones, but the newer ones they've slightly tweaked them to be better than Ryobi and some of your tests on different videos have confirmed that as well. Anywho, enough yapping about that stuff. Thank you again for all the videos and useful data you've shared with all of us. Definitely becoming one of my favorite channels on KZbin. Take care.

[@mattorama]

The Bauer might look OK on paper but they don't hold up. They suffer from "just stopped working" syndrome.

[@Tools-Tested]

Intersting, thanks for the info. I see they did just release a new version.

[@davidisthis]

I know for a fact that craftsman is not the most expensive on that list. Some are cheaper chem you buy a tool without a battery. That craftsman only costs like sixty dollars with a battery and a charger. The hart costs sixty without a battery.

[@blahblah5603]

Thanks ma

[@stanleywhitling1200]

I love your videos. I do want to tell you that hyper tough does a 4ah battery. I love to see if that makes a difference or not.🤔

[@Tools-Tested]

Thanks! I didn't know that, when I do part 2 of brushed I will retest it with the 4ah!

[@stanleywhitling1200]

Your welcome and hyper tough also makes a 12v line as well

[@quarkfnts]

I think you should do a video on the best worst impact drivers. It would be another hit view wise.

[@Tools-Tested]

Hopefully @ some point, I have the torque tester for it. But I would also like to somehow test the actual watts. Sadly I can’t use the drill dyno because it would damage the load cell. So just trying to figure out another way right now.

[@quarkfnts]

@Tools-Tested well after watching this video yesterday I subscribed and I'll be looking out for the impact driver video in the future. Thanks for what you do!

[@Tools-Tested]

@@quarkfnts Thanks for the sub!

[@user-lp7dd7dz9m]

"im going to have to say you go with the Bauer" Because everyone lives in the US with harbor freight exclusive brands

[@bread-gz3rl]

No ryobi?

[@Tools-Tested]

Honestly I have yet to buy it, I was already maxed expense wise for the month. I just don't have the money like large channels. I do plan to test it in a part 2 along side the brushed ridged, Milwaukee, dewalt, black & decker.

[@kcm731k]

It's such a shame craftsman is China made now..back in the day they were quality American made tools

[@Tools-Tested]

Yep I agree, I knew it was only a matter of time once Kmart bought Sears.

[@kalybnielsen4183]

I am still a Craftsman 19.2 user, I have the brushless drill, last model produced before Black & Decker bought them and Craftsman will never, ever be a competitive tool again, they are way lower end Dewalts, it's a shame really, they are over priced, oversized and really kind of gross looking

[@2down4up]

Just curious but why did you not test Ryobi? Maybe you’ve already tested and I just missed it?

[@Tools-Tested]

Honestly I have yet to buy it, I was already maxed expense wise for the month. I just don't have the money like large channels. I do plan to test it in a part 2 along side the brushed ridged, Milwaukee, dewalt, black & decker.

[@2down4up]

@@Tools-Tested Totally understand. I ain’t gonna be trading in my 2904 any time soon but I did start with Ryobi. In fact I still have my old blue Ryobi brushed 18v drill, and somewhere I have my even earlier red version as well. I also have the more modern green version. So I’m just curious where they’ll land. They’re weak sauce for sure.

[@calculator1841]

@@Tools-Tested I'm more interested in tools people actually use. Like why the hell would I want to watch a test of Hitli jackhammers, 99% of viewers would never own one! Besides as I've seen Ryobi is too high class with this field. I think Craftsman is the perfect cut off point with every under included.

[@mediocreman2]

Nice video. Just so you know the first word you say in the video isn't easy to hear. But I think you're saying cheap drills?

[@Tools-Tested]

Thanks! Yeah I cut it a little too short.

[@FourDollaRacing]

Thank you for not ruining the drills in a "head to head" with a hex bit between two drills .... those tests get a lot of KZbin views, but are done by complete idiots, for entertainment purposes, only.

[@Tools-Tested]

No problem, yep most on YT make more “entertainment” videos. I find it funny people actually take their testing seriously. In most cases the battery makes a huge difference, but I’m the only one I know of who test tools with all available battery’s.

[@FasterBastard1]

Hart is crap. Craftsman decent. Bauer, particularly the brushless ones, actually have impressed me thus far. Semi professional DIY home-gamer.

[@joseperez-qf4gz]

Should be called least worst drill or acceptable drill. Best worst should be called which is the terrible drill to get.

[@HEADBANGRR]

Currently I'm debating whether to get the brushless hammer drill that has less torque power but burns less battery energy vs the brushed hammer drill that has more torque but consumes more battery energy 🤔

[@Tools-Tested]

Really comes down to the price and how long you plan on keeping it, the BL will last longer but your probably going to pay about double.
