I'm sick and tired of buying overpriced batteries, I'm using corded tools most of the time.

[@paristo]

In a workshop wired tools are best almost all the time. Problem people have is that their power outlets positions are horrible. Make a new power outlets to your workbench AND put few on your ceiling at the arm height. At any given time you can just plug the needed too cord on outlet just next to you and be done. You usually need 3-4 plugs for each position so you can have 2-3 tools at the same time available to be used. And for workshop tools, the air tools are just way nicer to use by their low noise utilization. As long you have compressor in another room...

[@Screwball1969]

[@4wheelliving132]

@@paristo Or you can just use cordless tools and not worry about any of that

[@paristo]

@@4wheelliving132 you worry far less with corded tools than with cordless. Even when you have 2:1 ratio of batteries vs tools, you end up playing around with batteries, charging them, waiting, swapping... Just playing around all the time with them. You dont put lot of chargers to always have them charged as some are always in your machine and now you are again walking across rooms to get the battery or place it there. Corded is just "pick tool, plug in and use, after day unplug it and return to shelf". There really is no thinking. The opposite goes when you need to go remote. But then again corded ones win in power. You can have the small gasoline generator for full day work time in forest or other off-site, or battery pack and you get example full 1800-2500W power from all saws, table saws, drills etc. As when you are working example with 45x600 mm drill bits on thick lumber etc, you don't use battery powered tools there. Battery powered tools have their places and all, but not so great as corded tools in dedicated workplace. And when you have a dedicated workstation for specific work, it is idiotic to dedicate a cordless tool on that. It is as smart as using a battery powered table saw.... Sorry, but dedicated table saw is the way to go in workshop. Some don't have change to dedicate space for table saw, but they still benefit from corded power vs battery powered one. The world is crazy about battery powered tools. And used way too many for tasks that are better with some other power methods. Every tool has their purpose and all. Like a tiny battery powered screwdriver that fits on your palm is great when you are assembling cabinet or doing normal house repairs or even building a deck, as it is so tiny. Any normal large drill is big, cumbersome, just not good tool for all cases. And when you have remote workstation ready to go, it is nice to have dedicated tools for it, charged and all ready to be rolled out, picked to car and go... Be able work that 1-2 hours before recharging. No cords or fuel or anything.

[@Immolate62]

I'm a Milwaukee guy, but I have DeWalt, Makita, Ryobi, Craftsman and Hercules cordless tools in my shop. Anyone who has only one tool type is either a) sponsored, b) very specialized, or c) new to this. I even have a DeWalt Murdermatic 790 radial arm saw in my shop :)

You forgot d) doesn't want to go through the expense of buying multiple of tools with multiple varieties of batteries. It's simply not financially smart. It's one thing to get corded tools, because there isn't that extra expense of batteries. Being in the trades it sure gets bad when power isn't available for plugging in. Now a generator has to be purchased to run corded tools. So pros and cons everywhere.

I mostly end up ordering on line now, but it sucks not being able to go into the store and seeing/touching most of their line.

[@donaldholden2090]

You know, I love watching power tool showdowns just as much as the next guy. But it is frustrating sometimes how the raw strength of a tool is so often deemed as its most important attribute - or even worse, the only important attribute. I'm something of a jack of all trades, master of none, but more than anything I would consider myself a low voltage technician. In my line of work, I find the granularity of the trigger pressure to be one of the most important factors for an impact, and for that reason, I am personally in the Makita gang - even though I KNOW they're not the most powerful or the fastest. There are many aspects of my job where I should PROBABLY be using a screwdriver instead, but I feel like I could perform surgery with my Makita impact, so I reach for that nine times out of ten. If I were a framer, or a drywaller, or a roofer, I might feel differently. I will say however, that if I were a full-time electrician or plumber, I'd probably be very drawn to Milwaukee just because they happen to have some SICK ass specialty tools that cater to those two professions.

[@cameronforbes2649]

@@donaldholden2090 Yeah it's like the towing capacity of trucks for people that never need to tow anything close it. . . Dewalt, Milwaukee etc all have impact guns for steel connections. . . It's not impressive, it's just a selling point for people who don't know better, clever marketing . . . I had to redo some outlets put into metal studs, done with a Milwaukee fuel impact, and stripped the fuck out of it. When the power behind the tool is exceeds the material being used it's pointless. . .

I mean... He's right. If you look at the piece of wood in the part where he says to look at the holes, you can clearly see the knot locations. The spot of the screw for the DeWalt driver is definitely in line with that knot. It's just zoomed in during the test, presumedly to hide that

[@Dirty_216]

I agree, been splitting knotted wood all afternoon with the kiddos that shit for sure had an effect….i own dewalt but think Milwaukee is better…would love to see same test again

[@CONTACTLIGHTTOMMY]

A professional contractor really does not care about all-out speed. Pros look for the tool that drives the fastener completely, is durable, priced right, and the battery lasts decently. Speed is irrelevant, since it's usually just a matter of gear reduction. A case can be made for more reduction and less speed being the better tool.

[@ToolswithSoAlz]

[@1windozesuk]

Personally, my biggest concern is durability and battery quality/pricing. So that being said, I am mostly in Milwaukee fuel, but either DeWalt or Milwaukee is fine for me, not to mention Makita, but DeWalt and Milwaukee beat Makita on availability and special sales. The special sales is why I'm currently mostly Milwaukee, I love DeWalt just as much. Ridged too, but they change their stuff so much, I don't want to invest in their battery tools.

[@djaa7]

When it's a millisecond difference, i see your point. This however will add up after driving several screws Which means I'm not only losing time, but working much harder because someone has to stand there holding pressure on the trigger & the tool. I worked for years under someone with crap tools. Now that i have my own good equipment, my work is less frustrating and completed faster, which customers notice.

[@CONTACTLIGHTTOMMY]

@@djaa7 I get it. But to say one tool is better after driving 1 screw is hilarious. Odds are that both will be about the same speed with an average deck screw...which is 90% of normal use.

[@Angel.76239]

As an electrician I care about speed. I work pretty fast so I like to get the job done quick and I will go with the fastest tool that gets that job done. An example is when I’m running pipe i have to drill the struts to the wood to hold the pipe. Being on a 12 ft ladder all day driving screws gets tiring so I’d rather have something that drills the screws in faster, it would be less fatigue.

I have the dewalt, but I bought it because of the price point and it’s ability to squeeze in tight spaces. The Milwaukee is small but still bigger than the dewalt, so I not surprised about the performance difference. If I wanted to hog down on a lag I’d just grab a 1/2 inch impact and wreck both of them. Milwaukee is nice but I’ve been pretty well satisfied with dewalt pricing/performance so until they start making complete shit I’ll probably stick with them

The old Milwaukee was made in Germany and had the best triggers in the industry hands down. Milwaukee then moved ALL of its manufacturing to China and the triggers are awful.

The M18 has an additional 1100 IPM (4900 vs 3800) and 350 RPM (3600 vs 3250), but slightly less torque (1700 vs 1825). Max torque shouldn't be much of a factor on a task like this. While specs aren't 100% definitive, this result really shouldn't surprise anyone. The DCF840 may be a slightly better match, it's a bit closer with 4200 IPM. But in tests like this, IPM and speed tends to beat torque.

A slower speed will produce more torque, enabling the battery to last longer, also it will drive a bigger screw in. Depends what you are looking for. Makita tools last a long time, and in the UK are cheaper

[@ToolswithSoAlz]

None of what you said is true. Well, maybe Miss Kita is cheaper. The rest is just garbage. The longer it takes a tool to do a job, the more that tool builds heat, the more friction is exerted on the internal components. We should all know by now that heat and friction destroy tools.

[@Sandysand701]

@@ToolswithSoAlz Rubish! Slower speed puts less strain so on the motor this = less heat, slower speed is kinder on the battery, meaning it won't have to work so hard, again this = less heat. Been using battery drills/impact drivers for years, if you over stress/strain them, they burn out quick. Example: try cycling up a hill in the wrong gear, or put too small a battery in a car and see how long it lasts.

Pro tip for weekend warriors. Craftsmans power tools are just Dewalt power tools in a different color with cheaper plastics. I do maintenance on an apartment community, been using Craftsman power tools for 2 years now and gotta say I love them. Not gonna break the bank, so far been reliable, great warranty and they have awesome sales all the time. The other day I was looking to see if the 2 pack of 2ah batteries went back sale (2+charger for $65) and found that Lowes had the 1 x 4ah battery with fast charfer on sale for $99 (down from $139) BUT I noticed a little box that said "FREE GIFT". So I'm thinking what is it like a coffee mug or a t shirt or something right? Nope, it was your choice of one cordless Sawzall or a cordless orbital sander or a oscillating tool, or an angle grinder, or a 3/8 ratchet, circular saw, or a jigsaw, all cordless. Needless to say I got a 4ah battery, fast charger, and a 3/8 ratchet for $99, a value of $250 for $99. So far I've been very impressed with the craftsman stuff, I thought it was gonna be like ryobi which is why I started buying it in the first place for around the house but the craftsman stuff is closer to Dewalt and if you compare the 2 they are almost identical to dewalts stuff, and owned by the same company. So if you need reliable, decent power tools that aren't going to break the bank I highly recommend Craftsman.

[@ChefBoyarDEEZ]

Also, that sale is still going on at Lowes right now so if you need any of those tools.... Not a bad time to buy.

Did carpentry for 5 years. (Unfortunately had to move on from that job.) We had a few different drills. Ryobi, maukita, milwakee, dewalt and rigid. The impact AND the regular drill from Milwaukee we used had the longest battery life and felt the lightest out of each. Granted we probably didnt have the lightest most compact version of each brand. And im not sure of the pricing of everything. I think ryobis might have been the cheapest. I'm not really a brand guy but Milwaukee has some good tools man.

[@sealstech8087]

Nah those short body ones were a mistake for heavier stuff. You cant just take mass away from an impact system and claim it has more power. Smaller motor and internals can only mean reduced power and torque as well as making it easier to damage. Dewalt became very unclear with their specs after the xr evolution. Once they added “brushless” (but somehow not XR) and atomic lines were confusing. Really I love my 12 volt impact for most everything. To drive bolts like those… im putting the second handle on the real drill and dropping it down to first gear. Far more efficient and hearing friendly. 🍻

[@ToolswithSoAlz]

I can do it

[@Rickarrish]

​@@moicus29the impact has two distinct advantages one it's light and two it avoids cam out especially on troublesome screw heads like Robertson's. The drill is ideal for making holes, constant torque makes smoother holes than an impact will by jumping and jarring the bit, in the case of these very long fasteners the drill will out speed even a large impact because you're loading up plastic resistance which dampens the efficiency of the impact similar in concept to how a torque limiting extension works. If you're going metal fastener on metal surface the impact retains more effort from the hammers and a modest sized one will blow by any hand held drill of similar size, I have a large half inch impact that will max out around 750ft lbs which is easily quadruple the torque of a similar sized drill. When you hold both tools in hand the weight difference and maneuverability on a hex impact will incline you to use the impact for as much as you can make it work for.
