Dewalt vs Milwaukee Right Angle Drill Adapter

[@hardlyb]

Thanks for taking those apart - saved me the effort. I have both, since I wanted a backup in case one of them failed. I've gone through a couple of cheap versions, so when I saw these I grabbed them.

[@AutobahnDan]

hardlyb glad I could help!👍👍

[@wavingpine]

I appreciate that you included the dimensions.

[@gregnixon1296]

I was hoping that you would do a test to failure for these two. I like seeing how much tools will take before they fly apart.

[@themaintenanceman1]

Nicely done buddy! Looks like dewalt is more for driving screws and the Milwaukee more for mechanics but both look awesome! 👍

[@robertrobarge5294]

Awesome thank you for sharing how to get out the small bits once they get inserted inside of the DeWalt 90°. I would have never known that I was sitting here wrecking my brain trying to figure out how to get the sucker out

[@Clambelly]

Whenever I attempt to put DeWalt accessories on my Milwaukee Tools the breakers blow, grid crashes, cell service drops out, and black helicopters start circling overhead -- so it is probably not a good idea. One time, I was desperate and installed a DeWalt 6.5" blade on M18 framing saw. The neighbor's dog ran away, dishwasher backed up ...

[@turtlepowersf]

Man....talk about a ripple effect.

[@maxuabo]

That’s awful. I’m so sorry you have to deal with all that headache. I took it upon myself and called the coast guard to your aid. Best wishes

Thank you, I was looking at both of these

[@Andreyatl]

Thanks for your vid! I received all info what I need and in my trade as appliance tech I ll chose Dewalt cause it's more compact and we don't need any force I have to work in tight spaces with falling small screws .

[@mineigshi]

2:27 May I ask where did you buy that custom adaptor to Milwaukee's?

[@AutobahnDan]

I think it was a cheap bit that I ground down..

[@UlisesYaniz]

Where did you find the custom bit for the Milwaukee from?

[@TheFlatlander440]

Cool little right angle bit chucks. I've seen the DeWalt one but not the Milwaukee. I agree, as I wonder how they will hold up after much usage. I have an old DeWalt corded right angle drill but it's really bulky and needs a large area to work in. To be honest, I've only used it a couple of times, lol. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Dan!

[@AutobahnDan]

Yeah, gotta share in multiple social media platforms when I can! Thanks for watching! 🍻🍻

[@waltlars3687]

I have a Rigid 12v palm inpact driver and so far it has done everything I might need to do with these

[@AutobahnDan]

Walt Lars I see that one pop up every once and a while at Direct Tools outlet!

[@waltlars3687]

@@AutobahnDan its a great tool the 2 Amp batt fits flush but it will also take 4 amp 12v it hangs out of the body but it gives a stable base to stand it up great for bench work And the clone batteries are stupid cheap I am starting a urban farm on abandoned house lots near My house and get around by bike to them so any weight and size savings helps Just holding a tool and batt in My hand I would say it is lighter than a ryobi nicad batt pack I am buy drill bits with 1/4" hex bits so now I can leave the drill behind check one out if you already have a ridgid 12v charger you can find bare tool for 49.00

[@AutobahnDan]

Walt Lars it’s very hard to tell where the rigid 12V platform is going, very innovative stuff! It would be cool if they went further and made a GEN2 of that!

[@waltlars3687]

@@AutobahnDan maybe something like the Milwackie 12 V line I think a lightweight recip saw or a jigsaw they already have a multi tool with a wide variety of tool heads Infact the multi tool has a lot of tool heads and there is a corded body What other sorts of tools do You need in way of light tools ? Maybe a nibbler for sheet metal?

[@AutobahnDan]

Walt Lars lighter tools are always better!

[@dalesworld1308]

I bought a Dewalt last summer that looks like the Milwaukee - must have been the older model. I wonder if some lithium grease would be a good idea.

[@AutobahnDan]

dalesworld wheel bearing grease might be better, lithium tends to dry overtime... yeah, that Dewalt is a tricky one. There are many models that look the same. The one shown is the latest and greatest. Thanks for watching!

[@johnrice9121]

They both look nice. Great comparison video. I like the Dewalt but the Milwaukee looks like a quality accessory also. Tough choice for anyone. 👍

[@AutobahnDan]

John Rice yeah, as a mechanic squeezing into tricky places, having both is not bad!

[@irving2451]

Great video! Thanks a lot! I can make up my mind now.

[@cinderellaslifeadventures7269]

I just got the dewalt from Amazon, trying to screw in some screws and the body of this tool was rotating as well making it hard to screw it in. I had to hold the body with my other hand to get it to screw it in. Am I doing something wrong ?

[@AutobahnDan]

Yes, you definitely need to hold the end, the older larger ones have a handle attachment that you can hold better

[@knavekid]

You can 3D print a clamp-on handle for the Dewalt adapter. This helps a lot if you have room for it. Search thingiverse or printables to find this.

[@BryantAvant]

Dealt magnet sold me. You’re always gonna use these in places that re a B1tc# to get to so you need all the magnet sticky you can get.

[@scod3908]

You didn't take off the retaining ring to actually show the 90deg gearing of the dewalt...?

[@AutobahnDan]

I don’t remember it was a long time ago. I did get the yellow one and I might do a video later comparing the three

[@BMack37]

I'm kinda surprised, I would have guessed the Milescraft Drive90PLUS would have been closer to the Milwaukee but it's definitely closer to the Dewalt. Both have both their helical gears help in by retaining rings too. All three with 1/4" shafts. The Milescraft seems to be the most solid but I think the Milwaukee follows behind it. Dewalt's definitely shines with screws compared to the others.

[@AutobahnDan]

BMack37 I almost picked up the milescraft at Lowe’s but it was kinda big for what I do. Still looks good for construction. These bad boys can sneak into where any cordless ratchet can’t. Just noticing there is a pretty big break away torque reduction so far.. I have to break some bolts loose by hand first..

[@Shizamy508]

Curious how these are holding up?

[@AutobahnDan]

ShaZam508 I’m leaning more towards the Dewalt. I just got that feeling if I push too hard on the Milwaukee, something may break. Been liking the Dewalt more because a 1” bit hides into the body more so the magnet ring acts as a holder. The magnet is nice and strong and doesn’t drop small screws!

[@j.c.5393]

Great review. Thanks!

[@heman5737]

Hello from Mexico, Great great great video, God Bless you

[@erikbalanza]

So I want the Milwaukee cause my 1/4 impact drill is Milwaukee, but the dewalt looks stronger and more compact for less money lol

[@turtlepowersf]

Dewalt has an older yellow version that has excellent reviews. I work with some guys that have had ones for years. They can be had for about $21 on ebay. Not sure if this new version is better or worse.

[@1FaSS01]

You can buy osb2 from milwaukee ;)

[@dannydee9919]

I use the dewalt one shown in this video with my Milwaukee drill driver or with my makita impact driver.. They become hybrid brands: dewalkee, and makiwalt

[@towatchvids]

I have both and the Dewalt spins better with less wobble, it's also heavier than the Milwaukee which makes it harder to use in tight spots but not by much.

[@AutobahnDan]

Do you Walt has a new one that just came out with attachments! Part number DWAMRASETFT 👍👍

[@towatchvids]

@@AutobahnDan Yeah is that the 12 inch with flex angle? That looks sweet.

[@AutobahnDan]

@@towatchvids I think that’s what you’re talking about. It has a short end with a flex attachment and a straight attachment (4-in-1)

[@towatchvids]

@@AutobahnDan oh that is a new one, looks good. The one I was thinking of is similar but no changing heads just a metal right angle on the 12 inch adjustable shaft.

[@avgjoegat8126]

Are the shafts metal? I couldn't tell

[@AutobahnDan]

Oh yes definitely, anything less than hardened steel would break instantly

[@mathewshoyt1763]

milwaukee power tools owner with dewalt bits owner.. dont care what brand as long they are on sale and they function better than harbor freight

@Mathews Hoyt funny you mention that. I just thought of the Bauer and Hercules bits that are just the same price! You always see them collecting dust on the shelves!🤣

[@johnbaptist7476]

Hi can we use a drill bit by that gizmo ?

[@AutobahnDan]

Yes, any bit with 1/4” Hex

[@johnbaptist7476]

Thanks GODSPEED❤

[@dmitripogosian5084]

Just don't do too high rpm for roo long

[@JustMeNoOther]

Can I use one of these with my impact wrench 1/2 milwaukee?

[@AutobahnDan]

If you use a square drive to 1/4” hex adapter yes, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s too much torque. Depends on what you’re using it on…

[@colinwilson8747]

Great Review. Thanks

[@stonergaming4700]

first time i see the milwaukee Adapter

[@bluemantom77]

I could not justify purchasing either one right now I do got a flexible shaft which one of the two do you recommended in your opinion

[@AutobahnDan]

Thomas Carroll So far the Dewalt one is the more popular one. I could use both, all depends on the access you need

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

Autoban, maybe I did not hear it but I wish you would have given your opinion which one you like the best.

[@AutobahnDan]

Another OverTaxed TaxPayer I’m thinking more the Dewalt now. I was pretty much even on both, but now I’d say the DeWalt has A little more advantage due to the strong magnet and how the bits get tucked in. The magnet save me a couple times by not dropping a screw!

[@AnotherOverTaxedTaxPayer]

Then that is the one I will buy, the DeWalt

[@geraldwineinger1629]

What is the custom adapter that fits the Milwaukee well?

[@AutobahnDan]

Gerald Wineinger I had to make a custom ground off one out of a cheap harbor freight set I think. Got a look at the step when you order one..

[@TE5LA-GAMING]

Have you tested the Milescraft Drive90PLUS, and if so, how do you compare it to these?

[@AutobahnDan]

TE5LA no, I almost bought it, but it was a little too big compared to these two.

[@KarasCyborg]

I'd rather see a right angle-through the chuck adapter. That way you can put extraction bits in it.

[@AutobahnDan]

KarasCyborg like a mini Jacobs Chuck? May be easier for a bit company to make a hex bit with a extractor tip on it..

[@KarasCyborg]

@@AutobahnDan Think of a lathe self centering chuck coupled with some sort of through-bolt ratchet set, but motorize it with some sort chain drive or planetary gear setup in the handle.

[@moisesmartinez6693]

Excelente 👍

[@TE5LA-GAMING]

I bought an original Scosche Skew-driver when they came out (early 80's). As far as I know, they are the ones who invented these drivers. The first ones were hand tools and had fixed handles. We bought some for our shop and sawed the handles off since the shaft piece was 1/4" hex and chucked them into our drills. Later, Scosche released a "deluxe" version where the handle could be removed. I like to think I may have inspired that invention :) Well, my Skew-driver jammed a couple of weeks ago during a job. I guess I can't fault it since it lasted 38 years of nearly daily use. We had an angle tool in our shop in LA I wish I hadn't let go when we sold the store. We got it from an aircraft tools place and it was a right-angle attachment with two adjustable pivot joints, which means you could literally turn it 180-degrees. I guess this made it easier to drill your face, but it was cool.

[@AutobahnDan]

TE5LA haha! I think my boss still has one of those skew drivers in a case!

[@patrickshomerepair5074]

Hi @emplehod. The skew driver has a lifetime warranty so you can send it in and they will repair or replace it for you so you’ll have it working again or for a spare. I had bought the skew driver deluxe in the 90’s and used it many times I’ve the 28 years as a general contractor I have run into many repairs that it was indispensable but then had the same issues of it getting jammed so I called and talked to the company, then sent it in for repair. I received it and put it back into use untill it my van was stolen with all my years of accumulated tools so I had to purchase the dewalt which I like that has the ring magnet at the front. I hope you get your skewdriver fixed up so you can hang on to it and use it for many more years. Take care. Ciao.

[@naitodetsu]

Just got the dewalt at home depot. However it looks like a new model with a yellow body instead of black. Was $5 cheaper than the milwaukee as well.

[@AutobahnDan]

PhoLongQua the yellow one popped up again in the sale bins briefly. It’s slightly older than the black one. The yellow one states 5x stronger and the black one states 10x.

[@thewholls7176]

Both of those right angle adapters are intended to be used with a bit driver so you’re not supposed to put the bit straight in without the driver..... That’s my understanding because it’s the same with the bare tool often the bit doesn’t fit without the driver which also acts as an extension

[@JoseRodriguezFrio]

good thinking, but I think he was more concerned about the clearance both tools have by comparison

[@loucifer323]

Looks like the Dewalt is better made and can get into tighter spaces

[@IvanRossS]

First ask yourself how often are you really going to use it, in my case I will use this probably once a year is not even that... so I bought Milwaukee because I'm a fan and I have a lot of tools by this company, I also have a lot of Dewalt bits and adapter. But I like Milwaukee so for that reason even with the fact I feel like Dewalt is better, stronger, I just decided to stick with Milwaukee to match my drill. They are very similar and it's for you to decide what brand you personally like if you have a lot of DeWalt tool just get the DeWalt if you have a lot of Milwaukee Tools (like in my case) get a Milwaukee just to match.

I use the old metal Milwaukee 90 I bought 5-10 years ago for 20$ and I have beat it to death drilling up to 1.5” screw tipped spade bits. It’s a bit loose and slightly floppy but it literally will not die. I’ve drilled it till I can barely hold onto it it’s so hot and it is well built. I’d rebuy the Milwaukee but it’s not a full metal case anymore. So I’m torn. I do like the super strong screw magnets on the desalt tho.

[@ianm.8855]

Looking for the genius who comes up with a right angle locking mechanism for either model.....one handed operation ! Biggest drawback is one hand on the drill trigger and one hand to hold the adapter head.
