Let's Compare Impacts! Festool! Milwaukee & Dewalt!

[@bugsysiegals]

I framed my entire basement walls with the M12 Fuel Impact ... unbelievable the power from such a small lightweight tool.

[@tri-countyhandymanservices6623]

I just love the pure joy you get when the screw head countersinks Josef. Nice video!

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

I have never tried the festool impact yet. Great video!

[@TanB-nn6cd]

Just got the TID 18 couple days ago... Glad you've made this video. Thanks

[@gregsmith6031]

Love the festool impact!! Keep up the good work love your videos

[@CPBuilds]

Still waiting on my TID to arrive but I’m looking forward to it even more now. Thanks for sharing 👊🏻

[@josephalexander3884]

I was really impressed by the Festool.

[@briandavis1798]

I switched to Milwaukee from Porter cable recently and I love the results!Awesome content!

[@coryb1326]

This guy is awesome! Loved how happy he was when he sunk those lol great video

[@MillisConstruction]

Can’t beat having a job where it pays to enjoy tools 😁 Thanks for watching! Hope you’re having an awesome day!

[@RonKillian]

Great video, was fun :) I have the M12 impact, regular and it does drive, but it just does not have the torque. Like 3" deck screws, it drives them, but takes a while, doesn't stop, but it's slow. Use my Makita sub compact impact and the screw goes in fast. Huge difference. The M12 is useful and one I use often, but it sure has it's limits.

[@ronh9384]

Good video. Thanks 😊 A bit off topic with this question.... What do you think of the Festool special edition set that just released with a metric version and a imperial version. Each has a adjustable wrench, and several ratcheting open end box end wrenches and several nut drivers and bit drivers. What do you think of each kit and what would YOU use them for? Asking for a friend! 😊

[@MillisConstruction]

I would be all over it if I wasn’t so invested in Wera and Wiha! The Joker Wrenches are my favorites ever, I would just make an insert and build it out with those brands if it was me. It’s quite possible that they’re the makers of the Festool versions in those sets too 😉

[@ronh9384]

@@MillisConstruction Yeah they do look like Wera. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make them.....

[@micuzzu]

Festool is so cool. Love my Makita Oil Quiet Impact too

[@lapseofeternity]

More than tool review, I really found your video entertaining. Can’t describe why, just like why festool feels better. Subbed! I am all into Dewalt 20V and FlexVolt 60V. Recently, I started adding Festool. I have been eyeing on the PDC 18 + TID 18 set. Just the drill set is $549. With another $50, you also get driver. From a pure $ value, I think its worth it. But whether I need a new impact since my Dewalt works well is the question and the answer I got from your video (just like any other festool) is the feel of using it.

[@espressomatic]

I work construction full time - same type of stuff as Millis here. There is rarely a need for an impact as a drill is almost always a better driver. And as far as framing goes (someone else mentioned it) never use screws, use nails.

[@cerealkiller4248]

I use a Dewalt 10.8v 1.5amp as my everyday carry, it’s tiny, super light and powerful enough for 99% of what I do daily.

[@rettericb.4033]

I wonder why he never tries the m18 platform or the fuel?

[@MillisConstruction]

I’ve been way too deep in the Dewalt 20v line to want to add an entire new platform like the M18. The Dewalt 12v line is too limiting so I went with Milwaukee Fuel for all my 12v tools now.

[@manuzach]

The TID does feel good , boy that 4.0 battery is nice fit!

[@MillisConstruction]

That battery really makes the drills, impact and the oscillators so much nicer to use!

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

Where is the Makita entry into the mix? I have the Makita small compact and it outdrives everything else I own!! But it is really loud. Battery life is excellent with it. Of these three, my choice is the Festool. And it comes with a 3 year warranty. I bet the ergonomics are slightly better, which is why it feels better to you.

[@dannym670]

Is it me or was that dewalt impact driver only on speed setting 2 and not 3? Dewalt impact on 3 should drive harder and faster than it did!

[@bennettshfd2]

Have you tried the Milwaukee M18 Impact Driver? It's a beast!

[@MillisConstruction]

I haven’t, I’ve been a Dewalt guy for a very long time. The Milwaukee surge is just so nice and quiet after I tried one I had to have it 😅

[@johnj7800]

I have the m18 impact and its a monster.

[@johnnewell5025]

Love my M12s...what it looks like is that the Festool was a much more pleasant experience than the DeWalt. Think about using one or the other all day, Festool would probably win hands down? Interesting vid - thanks.

[@MillisConstruction]

That’s been my exact experience for sure. The M12 and the Festool see about all the action now and my 2-3 Dewalt are almost non users now although they do have plenty power and work just fine. The low price point that Festool put this impact release at really helps it be competitive. Lot of people are trying it that apparently don’t have very much other Festool. Thanks for watching!

[@troyqueen9503]

Love the GRK screws no need for a impact drive type drill.👍🇨🇦🚣‍♀️📐🔨

[@georgedavall9449]

Well done and interesting. Aww, the much maligned DeWalt 887, if that is the model you used here? So, it’s a little rough, a little noisy, and a little ‘warm!’ It gets the job done, and will hammer in most fasteners within reason. Festool is smooth, but should be for the price. The M12 and the M18 Surge are a little under appreciated as well. I’m not too familiar with the M12, but own and use the M18 Surge, and use it whenever indoors, or need smooth easy to control power. Take care and stay safe! Peace 🙏👍😁🇺🇸🎃

[@MillisConstruction]

She sure does! I’ve run that Dewalt hard building metal barns. Ended up owning three of them at once for the helpers. Never killed one either 😅

[@robbiterry38]

cool video, they are all realy good drivers. i do think the festool is a little smother. i have all 3 my self and like them all.

[@coreyfenton3618]

great video keep em up!!!

[@bradz9413]

Good vid dude 👍

[@MillisConstruction]

Thanks Brad!

[@fabioferreira2186]

I have the dewalt in this video and one that is a lower spec but still brushless, got them because all my kit is dewalt and the only thing that lets it down is that there is a bit of wobble, it does the job and it’s cheap over here ( live in the uk) would buy the festool if it was priced the same as it is in North America, Festool here you are looking at about 1000 dollars for the impact with 2 batteries

[@MillisConstruction]

Wow!!!! That is incredible. The Festool impact was released at such a low price here it has become a lot of people’s first festool. Kind of like their around $100 sander they released a couple years ago here too

[@fabioferreira2186]

@@MillisConstruction I guess people that work in the trade as joiners here still buy it, its a shame because their tools are very good but at the cost of a single tool you can buy a 6 piece kit of dewalt makita or milwaukee

[@mbforwood251]

Great comparison - thank you!

[@guydesnoyers8417]

As expensive as wood is, it's not as pricey as those grk's! That really is a "nice" sound from the red contender!

[@framnerdan]

Dewalt all the way. Couldn’t help but notice the Dewalt banner in the background. Thanks for the video

[@sumguyonabike8776]

Festool for the win. Couldn't help notice the festool kit in the back ground 😉😂

[@anthonycraig274]

But the red Milwaukee was incredibly quiet, thats worth a lot to me.

[@MillisConstruction]

Absolutely agree, it’s honestly my go to for most work because of that alone.

[@Jacoomo]

Why only milwakee is realtime?

[@MillisConstruction]

Because, as I stated in the video, I only grabbed it just to see if it could as it’s a 12v and irrelevant to a 20v tool.

[@robbiebenson4416]

Like milwaukee for it's light weightness, although battery life suffers . Lets build a leon to and see how many screws each battery life will last . Great time lasp .😁

[@MillisConstruction]

Absolutely!

[@seewise6383]

Great Show! How about reviewing the new Milwaukee 4 in 1_12v Installation Impact driver ? Supposedly is more torque and performance than the Festool, Dewalt and Medabo.

[@Andre-oy6mb]

My HILTI 12v can’t do what the Milwaukee did

[@MillisConstruction]

I’ve not used a Hilti impact. That’s good to know!

[@banehogs5589]

12v vs 18/20v really isnt fair anyways.

[@BenMarshallDesigns]

Man, that Milwaukee is deadly silent!

[@MillisConstruction]

Just awesome on the ears inside a cabinet box or tight space!

[@jamestoney398]

Your running a surge vs an M-12 Fuel! BIG DIFFERENCE!!!! So, if you want to compare apples to apples, run the real M12 impact driver! Has much more power!
