Cordless Belt Sander Review. AEG VS Mliwaukee VS HiKOKI (Ridgid VS Milwaukee VS Metabo HPT)

[@spitNsawdust]

I find the bigger more exposed front wheel on the hikoki super handy for internal curves n what not. ✌️

[@kingjamezo4583]

I needed one, and your video hasn't come up yet, so I bought the Hikoki in the dark,,, and bought the power adapter on next day😅, it felt like I should buy a corded one, but I still love my Hikoki one by the end of the day.(with adaptor)

[@timbodtoolman7025]

I’ve had the metabo for 3 months and its fantastic

[@iangregoryhome]

The HiKoki looks solid 💪

[@ProToolsApproved]

I have the Milwaukee, but I think I want the Metabo HPT more. Guess i'll be purchasing.

[@gwailo2010]

i have the Metabo HT (Hikoki) and i love it , it's a BEAST.

[@Benbearjones]

You missed one important thing, which one fits best upside down in a vice?? Love the corded option I know it defeats the purpose but great idea.

[@pete_lind]

Corded Makita , 9404 , accessory 193055-3 , its best i have seen , does not look much but can be bolted to table . it's old but still have not seen other brands match that .

[@1972Russianwolf]

The adapter doesn't defeat the purpose, just increase the flexibility. Need to work in an area without power and you can do it the same as any cordless. Working in an area with power, and you can go all day without worry. Its a big benefit on the more power hungry tools like the 10 inch table saw for instance.

[@SamMegadeth]

I wish more tool manufacturers offered a mains power adapter like hikoki. I get that it's a bit cumbersome, but more convenient than having a set of cordless and a set of corded tools!

[@sizif717]

Oh, boy, things are moving fast in the industry. Both Hikoki and Dewalt have come out with cordless belt sanders in the recent months! I have the Milwaukee and the power is more than I need on most cases, but the ergonomics is a bit odd, it is harder to keep it straight on the material, compared to my corded Makitas. Thin belt and high centre of gravity. And the Hikoki seems to have the same issue. And yes - it eats batteries super-quick.

Belt sander races with no powercords, down the street...

I was so close...

[@ccadama]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL You're right. Don't try this at home. It's more fun on the job site. (Just kidding).

[@nfi2nfi2]

Thanks for the review was tossing up between the AEG and Hikoki definitely going with the Hikoki, did you end up getting it connected up to vacuum and did it help with reducing the amount of dust spewed everywhere?

[@Jeff-rk8hq]

I personally love these three brands so it’s nice to see them all and how they perform

[@LluisTheWoodWorker]

Great vid! Would love to get the hikoki belt sander just dont need one 😅 btw on hikoki nz the 4.5kg stated is with the BSL36B18 which is the larger 4.0/8.0ah battery. Next to the kg number it says the battery number.

[@Ninjaman-vi1fh]

I need one of those AC battery adapters for Makita 40v. Some of their tools drain batteries like nothing and I find all corded tools just aren't made the same as cordless for whatever reason!

[@aaronoconnor606]

Yeah most companies haven't updated their corded tools to brushless yet would be nice for some tools the motors last longer if they are brushless

[@1972Russianwolf]

Needed one of these before MHPT/HiKoki came out with theirs. I went with the Ridgid and got a battery adapter that uses my HiKoki batteries. I'll upgrade to the MHPT/HiKoki sander at some point.

[@txvet7738]

Sweet…belt sanders with an accessory rail! So I can mount lights, lasers, and other optics, oh my bad work type of tool…lol! It’s still cool though. I wish more tool companies would give us users the hybrid option like the Hikoki. In your opinion would you use a belt sander like one of these or a cordless planer for leveling out an uneven tabletop?

[@aaronoconnor606]

Table top you would probably want a slab flattening jig and a router or a jig for a power planer

[@txvet7738]

@@aaronoconnor606 for the beginner with no shop to work in what else would you recommend?

[@Utuber-x44]

I have an old corded black & decker belt sander and it doesnt have a tracking knob. They belt just always stays centered 🤷‍♂️

[@kingjamezo4583]

You did it!!!! Thank you!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@Sgten01]

im waiting on dewalt one to land in NZ, can't wait.

[@Dravus-xs1bu]

Nice comparison Here in the US the M18 and the Dewalt are almost 2x the price of the Hikoiki/HPT... 🤷‍♂️

[@riba2233]

great breakdown as usual! the AEG 6ah battery, is that one with 18650 cells or with 21700, a bit hard to see?

[@maxmotors9497]

I’ve never seen AEG, assuming that’s the ridged that’s available in NZ??

[@stupot_64]

Ridgid is what AEG is branded in the US

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I guess you didn't read the title, or the description, nor did you watch the video...

[@wearsjorge55]

Im just surprised you got as much grunt out of them as you did. When i first saw the ads for these i thought "oh boy i cant wait to see all the complaints about batteries dying too quickly"

[@frenchyroastify]

As I use my belt sander for scribing, I'd like a cordless palm belt sander. I'd be quick to buy one... Makita!

[@tomc3965]

That would be really good to have

Just got a yellow one it's good nice weight and power. Thanks for the video.

What about the new DeWalt belt sander?

It wasn't available to me at the time of recording.

These are good, but I think teal would look better on them 😉

18v belt sander vs 18v planer mabye?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Why?

[@Andersp90]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL because im curious in regards to when you would chose one over the other. Could you have used a planer on the last planks? And would it have been faster? Would you still use the planer for stripping paint off of stuff, or is the belt sander a better choice?

Nice

They all look heavy

[@stupot_64]

The heavier the better. Less need to press down.

[@andersonnettleship845]

Personally I’m on Makita’s LXT Platform and I believe that overall they have the best power tool lineup, sure they aren’t always the fastest but they have more than enough power to do any job that I need to do and their ergonomics and quality are far superior to FLEX. When I need more drilling power I grab my Makita XGD01 Earth Auger/Right Angle Drill, it’s perfect for drilling large holes in wood with Forstner Bits and when using Bi-Metal Hole Saws in thicker 3/16” - 3/8” and thicker Steel, low speed (350 RPM) and the Torque Limiter make it perfect for this use and safety.

[@zaphod_beeblerox]

haha second nearly had my car

[@kizzjd9578]

Saying the hikoki ac adapter will run all day is false. It has 400w less power and has a very short duty cycle. Running on batteries will last longer and give you more power. Unless you like letting the ac adapter cool down for 20mins every 10mins.

[@N1rOx]

Where do i find the information that confirms these claims. I'm in the market for the adapter and curious.

[@Ninjaman-vi1fh]

Im pretty sure this is just a lie...

[@kizzjd9578]

@@N1rOx from my own experience mate, and tools & stuff also confirmed that the adapter is only 1010w in the last video.

[@baseballdude8491]

We have 3 of the Adapter We do run em all day with SDS rotary hammers, grinders and table saw Only had one experience of one needing to "cool down" but most of the time the fan that runs in the AC adapter keeps it "running all day" BTW corded grinders, belt sanders and rotary hammers can also shut down and/or burn up motors if they are run constantly and hard especially in hot weather The AC adapter is a great option for a good number of the Hikoki/Metabo HPT tools We have over 100 Green tools many of them 35V tools and they continue to make us money, have durability and the best warranty
