Milwaukee vs Dewalt (12v Hammer Drills)

I thank you for checking out this video, Im just your average guy having Fun with tools. I test tools out to see what these tools can do, and what they can't do. Please Subscribe to the channel and get that tool fix here. Have a great day!

[@Techprep23]

The grip alone is why I never got into the M12 line of tools. My Ridgid 12v tools were the same and I replaced perfectly good working tools with the Xtreme 12v tools in favor of the pistol grip and slide under batteries.

[@JacTheRipper87]

I work as a utility lineman and was recently contracted to install lights under a railroad bridge. I used my 2504-20 to drill the holes into the concrete to secure the fixtures as well as the conduit straps. I found with the 3ah battery it could get the job done but would’ve been much faster using a 4 or 6ah battery. I also used this same drill to drill holes in my basement slab to secure a safe and found that as expected this drill preform much better with the 4&6ah battery. I should mention the light fixtures & straps where drilled with a 3/16” concrete bit for tapcons. The safes hole where drilled with a 5”16” bit for 3” lag bolts

That Dewalt takes a back seat to no-one. Dewalt really needs to expand their 12v line.

[@scottdezieck7056]

Totally agree with you on grip of DeWalt night and day difference. Way more comfortable to use. I'm a professional and own pretty much every DeWalt tool. I find myself using their 12v line most of the time. Batteries last a long time. Just hope they come out with more 12v tools. Tried the Milwaukee 12v before buying the DeWalt 12v and hated the grip.

[@wappiercer7306]

all chucks are metal its just the outer housing that is plastic on some drills too be honest i prefer a plastic outer housing it provides better grip when tightening the chuck also it reduces the weight of the tool those metal chucks have very little grip and if you happen to drop the drill they dent very easily

[@chrismcgough384]

And the metal outer housings love to rust … this is why I don’t know if I wanna get the dcd800

[@javyLSU1]

I own both of these tools. My preference is to use the Dewalt just because of the ergonomics - it’s strong enough to get most jobs done. Having said that, I’ve come across plenty of instances where it’s not strong enough, such as drilling through sheet steel, or thicker materials in general. The Milwaukee 12V Fuel had no issues finishing those jobs. Using the DeWalt made me realize their decision to put a 3/8” chuck on this drill was completely intentional, because this tool does not have the power to make use of a 1/2” or bigger drill bit.

[@legendarypillow1450]

What madlad would put a damned auger bit on a 12v drill?

[@lucasmancini7415]

I’m thinking we’re going to see a new m12 hammer drill and m12 impact driver this year from Milwaukee. They are a couple years old and they are going to probably do an update. Great video! Love my 12v tools

[@onsiteelectricianscott4025]

12v really dont need the 1/2" chuck, in my opinion I think the 12v line is for compact light weight projects. Break out the 999 for those big holesaws, but great review, that was a big job for a 12v

[@ryantrahan8687]

But think of how many 4 5/8” holes you drill through drywall on the job Scott ? That 1/2” Chuck is huge !

[@onsiteelectricianscott4025]

That's still allot of torque and stress for a 12v drill, if I had big holes to drill I grab my big boy drill, even though 12v can do allot I try not to stress mine out so they last longer. But that's just me

[@darrenalkire5281]

I use larger than 3/8 bits on mine all the time. Probably would have never bought the m12 tools if the drill didnt have the 1/2 chuck. There is no down side to it.

[@syd_luna]

12V tools are amazing! My first 12 V tool is the Milwaukee M12 Fuel 1/2" Stubby impact wrench, followed by the M12 Fuel Surge hydraulic impact driver. The latter I use everyday whenever I go on service calls, which relegated my M18 Brushless impact to major installations only. That DeWalt Hammer Drill definitely blew the M12 Hammer Drill though. I agree that Ryobi needs to get into the 12 V line of tools, since Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, even Hilti have 12 V platforms. Heck, even Ridgid has a 12 V Drill/Driver out there. The handle of the M12 tools have that larger girth compared to the DeWalt or M18 tools, and understandably it's by the battery design. I don't mind it at all personally, and since you don't have a relatively larger battery sticking out in the bottom when you put in a 2.0 Ah battery on any M12 tool, it can get into very tight spaces, compared to any standard form factor battery design you would find on the XTreme, 20V Max, M18, LXT, etc.

[@minnesotaman3]

M12 has a much bigger lineup. I am more of a dewalt guy, but I went with milwaukee for the 12v tools. Ya cant beat a cordless soldering iron. Still use my dewalt 20v stuff often and works great for me.

[@DemoToolsYT]

Hi there, why you need a metal chuck on this kind of screw driver? I think that a metal chuck on this kind of battery-operated drill does nothing but make it heavier and move the center of weight to the top. I think the interest is for the tool to be as light and well balanced as possible. Great review as always.

I have M12 and M18 everything, but have avoided the M12 Fuel hammer drill because of the electric clutch instead of mechanical clutch. I believe the DeWalt uses a mechanical? Either way, as much as I like my M12 tools, that DeWalt won this contest. I'm not too keen on having two different battery lines, but that hammer drill makes it almost worth it.

Really that's interesting cuz I'm with man caver on the fact that the handle is way too thick and stubby for such a small tool where the DeWalt just feels more natural and easier to handle but you use what you like not what I like right

I don't get the "fat handle" comments either. The Milwaukee definitely has a bigger grip but when I go from a Milwaukee tool to a DeWalt, I never notice the extra mass.

@@jakedraper1863 I wear XL gloves if that helps you any and I hate the fat handle on the Milwaukee... it's just not intuitive to me or user-friendly ..if you did a survey you would find that byou are very very well in the minority... not that you are wrong, your preference is your preference so in that aspect you are 100% correct to like what you like👍... I don't blame you playing college baseball i always had a thin regrip handle done with extra thin Sports tape because I liked the feel... one of our leadoff hitters was skin and bones- tiny little fast kid who had a super thick handle bat. I hated his Bat. I was twice as strong as he was and I swung a thinner lighter bat. it's just preference if you have both the M12 and the DeWalt 12v Xtreme line go take a tape measure you'll see one is a lot thicker than the other and preference certainly doesn't come down to hand size in my case... I promise you that

[@BuffaloNickel9]

@@Dale37 dude it's pretty obvious if you have both how much thicker the handle is on the Milwaukee ..they handle on the Milwaukee is much much thicker on the 12-volt than the DeWalt 12 volts and even much thicker than than the 18 v gen 3 and all of its Milwaukee bigger Brothers 😂 so that's certainly not up for debate how much thicker the handle of the Milwaukee is... The Only Thing Up For Debate is your preference- and if you like the thick handle, by all means use it and love it! I don't care.. I hate it but I certainly can't fault you for that. it's just what you like and what's feels good in your ✋... more power to you man...cheers

[@rolandm9750]

The new DeWalt 12V tools are pretty impressive. However, unless I'm mistaken, the DeWalt 12V "platform" doesn't have nearly as many tools as M12 does; and the similarity in performance between these Xtreme 12V and competing M12 Fuel products means M12 is probably still the better way to go for most people.

[@legendarypillow1450]

True, but a lot of dewalt’s 12 volt line destroys Milwaukee’s.

[@magnusa24]

In my country, Norway, you only get the 706 with metal chuck. 701 still has plastic though

[@Chukijay]

The whole point of Ryobi is the same battery for every tool. The tool is already the size of the 12v from DeWalt and others, why make a whole other tool and battery? Also it’s worth noting that DeWalt 5ah battery doesn’t come with that drill as where the Milwaukee battery comes with that drill in the kit. Not sure if the money is the same between the Milwaukee kit being 229 or whatever for the drill, an impact and the two batteries vs the DeWalt drill and the 5ah battery separate but it’s worth mentioning

Blows through 1/2" holes in solid concrete in seconds with no effort, it has the SDS type chuck , hits really hard. Look at the beats per minute , RPM, and the impact jolts when searching for your hammer drill of choice, I never used a makita hammerdrill but botch bulldog is another good one I have used, I compared the cordless line specs to corded tool specs too .
