Makita vs Hikoki tool showdown

[@michaelfairchild]

I actually dont care which tool is 2 seconds faster, but how will it hold in the long run, are batteries good and in case of repairing it will not cost arm and a leg. Milwaukee in Europe for example is a b!tch to fix. Its cheaper to throw it out and buy a new one and that say a lot about their tools.

Most intelligent comment ever written regarding a tool review…

[@fancraft1266]

With both brands you can get a lot of spare parts

[@fancraft1266]

@@M0ssTh0mas Totally agree

Would like to see a review in the Hikoki angle drill ,

[@Chris-iu5ol]

Recently bought into Hikoki. Loving it so far!

[@UncleIvan1]

Both great brands....im a makita guy, but would not mind using hikoki

[@cmelft2463]

Electrician 17+ years here with an honest opinion : Used hikoki from the start of my apprenticeship in 2006. Only had 2 drills die (1 left in rain and 1 fell off a scissor lift), Still have batteries from 2010/12 that hold a charge (never had a battery fail and have owned in total 12 batteries as never had to buy replacements) Never had any trigger problems or other tools (recipro, grinder, sds hammer drill etc) fail and theyve been covered in dirt and run hot Recently imported their 12v impact and driver about a year ago and they cop abuse and are still going strong to the point that i keep them on hand as they are lighter compared to my multivolt range with enough power for the smaller service work stuff (mounting lights, drilling holes etc). Considering how tiny they are i was quite impressed. Downside of hikoki (at least here in Australia) is their lack of range compared to their competitors Upside - almost no other trades have them so they dont get stolen or confused with other owners. Compared to team red yes they feel a little less powerful but I like owning them as they feel like they're built with decent quality and ergonomics - trigger control compared to team red is way more accurate Makita - one of my staff runs them and all I can say is they don't feel like they used to. I get a sense theyve dropped their quality a bit compared to 10+ years ago and personally i would be looking at other brands before Makita - but thats just me.

Both are the same only with a different name, everyone copies from everyone else, the parts supplier supplies both Makita and Hikoki. Who really cares about the half a second it took the competitor to screw in the screw? come on! You need to go to the repair labs of these companies and see who has the fewest repairs, what matters is the product's lifespan.

Nice video, please please make a video on that Hikoki angle drill I'm tempted to grab it but no one on earth has made a review of it that I can find! Thanks from Canada

[@welshy474]

Love it ! Great video gents

[@Ultimate-roofing-square.]

Great test chaps. 🤜🏼🤛🏼. Both very robust brands.

[@BobbytoChippy]

👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Great watch!

[@BlackenedEclipse]

Great video Lads, would've been awesome to see the drill combi using the bigger battery with 21700 cells, It gives the drill way more power.

[@Broski2322]

Loved my Hitachis best power tools I've used for drilling and the thread rod cutter was a game changer

[@datapowertoolsltd]

Great video gents!

Smashed it again lads 👏

[@littlecedar3425]

There's a brand new Hikoki that will coming out in the spring or summer this year 2024! My Japanese friend that works for Hikoki tools retailer in Osaka told me it's the new WH-36DD for 36V then it's got 18V version and 12V version all of it with triple hammer and IP-56 Rated Then my other Japanese friend that works for Makita in Tokyo he said there's gonna be a new upcoming release of Makita TD-003G that's for Japanese Market only if you purchase it will be import a little bit expensive.

[@Sly_Wolf_1]

I'm a makita guy, love them, years of fantastic reliability...... But now I have to replace my flood damaged tools on a budget (no insurance cover) I'm considering hikoki for one reason only... A five year warranty for the tool and on 5ah batteries.... I'll take that thank you.

[@timmortimer8469]

The makita impact isn't there latest one and the combi drill was going through knots .

[@denty32]

R and R renovations in America, Kyle swears by the Hikoki triple hammer impact driver. People get to tied to one brand

[@robdiv5848]

Hikoki rock!

[@peadarodubhail1430]

I hope Hikoi have uped there battery game I had two different sets drill and impact over the years batteries calved after 18months. Hood vid though

[@kylehocking420]

they have just released 2 new high outputs, information has been hard to find but they are on sale here in new zealand anyway

[@Seppietje1988]

I got a big Hikoki tool range (+-20) since two years, bought a load a second hand battery's (18v and MV) and till now no battery's broken...

[@peadarodubhail1430]

​@Seppietje1988 stuff looks good but I think my experience just turned me off. Did have an 18v metabo chop saw which was brilliant to be fair think I got it just when they merged.

[@Hortihead]

6 batteries gone with very little use, sceptical of buying anymore.

[@CowsGoM3ow]

@@Hortihead What is warranty.

[@UliMuliko]

Always makita

[@joehart3826]

Not in this case
