Makita 40v Impact Wrench VS Makita 18v Impact Wrench | Are they the same?

Finally got my hands on a Makita 40v Impact Wrench! Let's compare it to the 18v equivalent, the Makita LXT DTW300. Might as well chuck in the 40v Makita Impact Driver and a Milwaukee for good measure.

@Tools & Stuff, Thanks for the thorough review between the 18V and 40V Makita impact wrenches. I agree with you that there's so many people with 18V LXT tools and such a expansive line that the LXT line isn't going away any time soon. This does give Makita users a upgrade path for those tools that can make sense to go 40V like the saws, outdoor power equipment, rotary hammer drills and vacuums. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.

[@tylerabell2258]

I look at it this way. They are still making the brushed 18v LXT motor models for cheaper options, so they would have to start phasing those out long before they start phasing out the 18v brushless LXT models (in theory) It’s a long long ways away before we ever need to worry about it. IMO

[@zack6892]

Impact wrench aren’t meant to drive fasteners quickly. They have a gear reduction to increase torque even more so when used in a 12v platform.

[@brettwalkom948]

Impact drivers have a drive reduction too tho

[@zack6892]

@@brettwalkom948 well yeah every drill operates with a certain reduction geared at their task. My point is impact wrenches aren't made to set fasteners all day as fast as possible. They are made for higher torque application and they will last much longer then most impact drivers at high torque. The impact wrench would be slower no matter what even if driving 1" fasteners a good 12v impact driver would probably beat a high torque impact wrench but that doesn't mean the 12v is better.

[@brettwalkom948]

@@zack6892 doubt it lots of small hits isn't always as good as fewer big hits

[@CSLFiero]

They're close enough to convince me that the 40-volt uses a step down. That's not a bad thing, that allows the battery to be more flexible. It gives overhead for things like 10 inch saws and even jack hammers in x2, while not limiting itself to only big tools like Milwaukee Mx has. And that since it's kind of brilliant, but in another sense they lock themselves into bigger and bigger batteries since running 10 cells in a series to attain your voltage goal means will never carry more amp hours than a single cell

[@brettwalkom948]

I've got both and the 40v definitely hits faster and harder..

That purple Makita driver showed you why you need a impact wrench.

[@ProxyFinal]

The way i see it, 40v has better runtime over 18v. It's just hard justifying sticking with 18v other than the lower cost....I think Makita needs to rethink 18v possibly making them more subcompact. This way you can set 18v apart from 40v other than cost of course.

[@stauker.1960]

I could imagine a compact 18 volt system being 35% smaller than a 40v system. I think Milwaukee already did that with 12 volt and 18, so I don't know how Makita would pull it off

Yes but the 2.5ah is 40v. The 5.0ah is 18v (20v). Each battery has 100 watt hours and each has 10 - 2500mv cells. The only difference between the batteries is the way they are wired.

2.5 40V and 5.0 18V is the best comparison because both packs use the exact same 10 Samsung 25R 18650 cells. Just in a different configuration. 4 Ah has 21700 cells. Plus it's a larger pack and kind of defeats the purpose of a "compact" class impact wrench.

[@danielli6648]

Does the 18 volt Makita heat more than the 40 volt that's what I'm assuming just don't know for fact

[@LiviuGelea]

In theory if that was the only difference, then yes. But if it runs cooler, you can pull some extra performance out of the 40v and end up in the same temperature. And since this is what we see performance wise, I assume they do just that. In fact your comment is what made me think about this. In theory they should have the same performance. But you do need twice the amps on a 18v system to get the same power so definitely sounds like the limit is thermal. I don't own either of these. This is just my guess.

Too much! And only 1.

[@rjakiel73]

Kobalt XTR line would be a good challenege seeing they smoked big red and the Bumblebee

[@The_One617]

I have kobalt and milwaukee and milwaukee kills kobalt except on high impact sockets kobalt all day.

[@johnzhang7027]

you are using 12V Milwaukee to compare with 18V Makita, this is not a fair game, try with M18, you'll be surprised

[@liamm9400]

Nice videos. Just found your channel and it’s good to have a reviewer from this hemisphere (I’m in OZ). I have a general question. My Makita gear is getting on a bit and I’m wanting to upgrade with a combo kit. Main needs are good battery life and power ration. Tools would be circ saw, grinder and impact and hammer drills. Which kit would you recommend? FYI I run a handyman business so they will get a bit of work but nothing like a tradie. Looking for best bang for buck

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Are you interested in The 40v stuff or the 18v?

[@liamm9400]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL would love the 40v kit but they very pricey and just keen to see whether you reckon they worth the extra money? I can get a 6 piece BL18v combo for the price of two 40v drills combo. The tools that concern me with the 18v range is the grinder and the circ saw.

Cool test, you pros🔥

It was funny when at that moment 13:15 I saw the makita battery like milwaukee 3.0 output form because of the left video is really thin but I know it isn't possible ))

[@kc0lif]

not the same

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

For once I'm jealous of you Brits and Aussies and New Zealanders , getting the Makita new 36/40vmax stuff first! Makita USA Just announced the USA 40v/80v max at last! ( its on their KZbin channel.) Today I am learning what a coach screw is ! We call those Lag Bolts in the USA. Just so folks know these would be a poor choice for anything that doesn't use a socket or a solid 1 pc driving bit that can attach to the square drive. (The more adaptors you put onto an impact the more power you lose) This tool is really made for sockets, like for lag bolts (Coach screws) ,or bolts and nuts. I would use a hex female impact for driving things that need screwdriver type bits, (like the batten screws) Stay away from stacking adaptors and you will have more power to drive fastners better. Nice Video !

I see you have added NZers now.

Soo for newcomers 40V for 18V folks sticks with 18V for another 5years.

[@levipankey]

So is the 18v one not in the u.s. yet?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Not sure. If it is then you can't get either of them in the states yet. Won't be too far away...

[@robertrada6040]

Makita of Japan just announced the 40v version of the mid-torque. Not sure what took them so long. I would suspect we should notice a difference at that size.

[@robertrada6040]

I should have pasted their ad-copy into Google translate before posting that comment. It appears the torque ratings are the same, it just gets it done slightly faster. Boooo.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

The LS003G is on the way too... and it's a 12"

[@robertrada6040]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I totally get why that would be great for a first fix crew. Saw (no pun intended) enough tripped breakers with the doors to the house locked during my back breaking deck framing youth. But for forty year old me, cut that 12” in half and I might be interested. 😂

[@BuildsStuff]

@@robertrada6040 you can get the 8". When it comes to mitre saws I want the biggest I can get so that I know it can cut anything I need cut. Hopefully it is significantly lighter than the 36v 10".

Wow, it's super heavy! 30kg (66 lbs)

[@losmilosmi2214]

9:24 18V did if first but he continued until 40V finished also at 11:26 if you look close 18V push i deeper into the wood so in terms of speed and power its same maybe battery has more to give but as just a tool it didn't improove Also why didn't have he used M18 but M12 Milwaukee is it too much for Makita to handle

[@katmandewtoolsngames3116]

You put a milwaukee 12v up agents a 40v?!? That's not fair bro

[@robertrada6040]

The XGT impact driver has bigger gears, a bigger bit collet, a bigger fan and so on for a bigger price of $35 over the XDT16. The compact impact wrenches are virtually the same, but the xgt comes at a premium of $90 over the LXT version. :0 You can buy the drill+the impact driver with a charger and two batteries for $449. The impact wrench with the same two batteries and charger = ...drum roll please...$469. Economy of scale is massive.

[@jimmyrecard6021]

what does XGT stand for?

[@RegisG.]

XGT = neXt Generation Technology LXT = Lithium eXtreme Technology CXT = Compact eXtreme Technology

Just wondering if you have had feedback on the 18v DHP481 brushless drill failing. I have had 2 die, another one makes horrible noises and a I personally know another guy who has had the same problems. Just wondering if this is a widespread issue.

[@fidel5800]

An impact wrench is not designed to drive screws and especially into wood. Its main feature is to loosen screws. The DTW300 has 330 NM when tightening and over 600 NM to loosen.

[@andym5338]

Get on with it mate

[@desorulz720]

Whats the difference between a pin detent and the C-ring?

[@josephashcraft1581]

If it's what I think - the detent pin will slip into a hole in an impact socket - and needs to be pressed in to release the socket The hog ring uses only friction to hold the socket - so it's faster but less secure
