Best Right Angle Adapter? Milwaukee vs DeWalt, Milescraft, Westward, Auto Tool Home, Yakamoz

Adapters: Milwaukee (2 models), DeWalt (4 models), Milescraft, Westward, Autotoolhome, Yakamoz. Right angle attachments/adapters tested for performance under load, use with impact tools, temperature increase under load, maximum torque, and overall durability. Finally, the adapters were dismantled to assess cause of failure. I buy all of the products tested to ensure unbiased results. So, thank you for supporting the channel.

Considering this was a torque test more than anything, I have to say that dewalt flex shaft is perfectly fine when it's general use, such as my last job where I worked on vehicle interiors. A lot easier to deal with a flex shaft over a static position right angle adapter to get hard to reach screws and bolts.

[@tarstarkusz]

Using the right tool for the job. Personally, I don't like these stress-to-fail tests. This is not really how most tools die.

[@Chad_at_Big_CAT_Networking]

It's definitely more for light duty use than high torque. I blew mine apart trying to use it to drill 1/2 in holes in the top of a wall frame. If you've got it full speed and it's not perfectly aligned it likes to bind and spin like a pin wheel, with a sharp bit on the end!

[@RevelationAV]

@@tarstarkusz how do most tools die?

[@nikogarcia3249]

Thank you for having the inset box with a picture of each tool as you went over the graphs! That saves going back for visual checks.

The max torque tests are interesting, but you could almost always use a wrench or socket and breaker bar to loosen very tight bolts anywhere a right angle drive would fit.

[@deth3021]

I think it indicates how much headroom you have with the device. The more over spec it is, the longer it will likely last. This is where the whole test to failure concept comes from. Unless you break it you don't know where it's limits are.

The Dewalt 60 (or similar) regularly comes as a bonus item in impact bit kits. I got mine in an impact drill & driver kit. It is good for what it is and I've had no issues with it. Since I needed the bits, I consider it a free bonus. And you can regularly find the bit kits with Dewalt 60 on sale for cheaper than the Dewalt 60 by itself.

I've been using the Milwaukee 8510 for years now and it's a real workhorse. I have no fears throwing a 1-1/2-in spade bit in it and drilling through pine, poplar or oak joists or beams. The adjustable handle is prone to coming loose, so you have to be careful storing it in your pocket and walking around. I've lost parts on it that way when the screw handle came out and the adjustment pieces scattered around. This is definitely a case of "you get what you pay for."

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@PetrosArgy]

@Ross Radford In soft studs you should be able to drill 3/4 inch holes all day long. The only thing you need to be careful of is hitting nails. That can cause the drill to twist in unexpected way and can be dangerous (I got my finger jammed really hard between a stud and the drill once when the whole thing twisted and locked up on my finger). It's actually safer to drill with an impact since it won't twist when the bit jams.

The flex shaft Dewalt can be a sketchy situation if you don't have a good hold on that head and you're drilling. I was using it to do electrical work and drill 1/2" holes in wall headers where the roof made it a hard to reach area. If you're not holding on to that head it will kink and spin the whole thing.

Would love to see a comparison between carb cleaners or electronic cleaners in a can. I use them daily to clean almost anything not just carbs or electronics but glue on plastic that alcohol can't get of and acetone will destroy the plastic surface. Please consider this

I recently bought the DeWalt DWARA 60 and this video has reassured me that I've bought a good angle adaptor. Seeing how much abuse it survived in the video it should certainly handle my use.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

[@freespeechfinland]

Bought mine in 2019. Use it occasionally. Works great. Is a must-have in a carpenter's tool box. I have noticed it heating up some but not to a level of concern. Only complaint in practical use is its thin and slippery, tubular form which can make it difficult to hold, causing it to turn and slip off the screw head in tight spaces. The Makita angle adapter seems to have a slightly better form in this regard but i haven't tested it.

[@OldSaltyBear]

This was great! Milwaukee has been my goto recently for power tools but their smaller tools seem to be hit and miss. Like the fact that they have a solidly built almost commercial grade product available for retail. Just to throw yet another idea on to the list, floor jacks might be interesting. There's a lot of weird brands, they vary greatly in price, some have major ergonomic issues, creep and clunky letdown. Would love to see the project farm pit stop...carry a 5 ton floor jack from the garage to the back of your truck and get the wheels off the ground haha.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@TimeLapseRich]

I have trashed my fair share of floor jacks. The only on I've had hold up is a NAPA pro. I mean I get that people are prone to abuse floor jacks, but I've always oversized my lifting equipment and had a lot of brands fail.

[@valerie_screws_around]

Or maybe put the jack under the hydraulic press and see when they explode 😈

[@crforfreedom7407]

did it surprise anyone else to see that a strong CCP/Chinese company like Milwaukee would have their best 90 degree angle tool built in Taiwan? Given all the political falderal between China and Taiwan, it just struck me as funny and ironic...

[@D3M3NT3Dstrang3r]

The Milwaukee ones which he tested are better than any commercial / professional versions which I have used. I use the fully plastic version daily in a professional setting and it takes some abuse and has been doing so for several years now.

I've been using the same milwaukee 8510 for 6 years now. I've seen coworkers continue to buy the dewalt in every style, because they are cheaper. If you use 90's often get the milwaukee 8510, it might cost more than the others. But you won't have to replace it.

Any flex shaft tool has a very limited application, when you need them they might just save your project. I guess the same could be said about all these adapters, but you definitely proved that spending a bit more for these is worth it if you are doing anything heavy-duty. Very well made tests as always.

90% of my use with them is hex drill bits with this tool run by a 3/8 snap on drill. I have found the cheap slim dewalt to hold the tightest circles with bits and handled far more abuse than my Milwaukee one. As always, awesome videos!

[@D3M3NT3Dstrang3r]

Having used these in a professional setting I can tell you that the full plastic Milwaukee and DeWalt impact rated ones are the only ones that will take abuse and keep on ticking Ive tried the full metal Matco ones and nearly broke my fingers when it locked up and the whole thing went to spinning. I replaced it many times until the Matco man gave me a metal Milwaukee that was significantly better but still broke about a year later. That's when I bought the plastic Milwaukee which has survived atleast 3 or 4 years of daily abuse and it is still ticking.

[@RadDadisRad]

I have the full metal Milwaukee and it’s lasted 15 years

The Vice Grips are a good idea, because having to use any right angle adapter means you're desperate and trying to head off despair. Then again, I'm also the guy who many years ago bought a 12v compact drill-driver because he couldn't afford a proper right angle drill for a tight space.

[@VortexGarage]

I picked up the DeWalt 60 a while back after hearing they were known to actually handle some abuse. It was a cheap add on to the toolbox, for the times it's really needed. Seeing it survive some of the torture tests here reminds me that I need to pull it out for some more heavy duty use when needed! Great video as always!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@athhud]

Curious as to how much difference a generous helping of quality grease would make. That DW60 was quite impressive! I’d wager that the difference in thermal mass between each tool renders the temperature test to be almost useless. That huge chunk of steel on that Milwaukee would require a lot of heat to change much. The lug nut test told me all I need to know though! I’ve used an older version Milescraft for years, but it seems I have been treating it a lot more delicately than necessary. I’m going to have to get a DW60 and flog on it like it owes me money! I never dreamed those things could take that much abuse.

[@zedorda1337]

Grease would of helped the ones with failed housing but only hurt the ones with failed gear teeth.

[@JadenRiley6494]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the temp test IS useful even with the thermal mass difference. I think this because it is showing off how well a tool can dissipate or transfer heat. A big thick piece of metal can absorb more energy or heat cooling down the gears even more. There is the downside of it holding all that heat longer, so it won't cool down as fast if you do get it too hot

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

[@walterbrunswick]

I'll tell you from experience... I bought two of the Milwaukee 8510 for the nominal price here in Canada, but I regret my decision - it is overweight and bulky for its designed purpose..... when do you need to drive in 50+ 3/8" lags at 90deg in under 30 mins???? As an HVAC contractor I would much have rather bought the 2390 had it been offered...... Now I'm pretty much giving away "useless weight" to whoever wants it ..

[@walterbrunswick]

I don't need to be lugging around that extra useless metal, especially up and down on commercial rooftop ladders, in the middle of a winter storm!! I like Milwaukee power tools, but some of their stuff is useless/overbuilt/crap

Bought the Dewalt 60 right before Black Friday with a bit kit for $15. Great deal. Last week I drilled three dozen holes (maybe 5-6 at a time) with a 1” self feeding paddle bit through 2x joists. No problem. It got warm and I was wondering how close I was taking it to it’s breaking point. Seems like I was ok.

[@2mitts]

I just picked up that same kit at HD about 6 hours ago. $15 bucks well spent!

I did too. - Surprisingly, the Dewalt 60 itself doesn't have the model # on it. I just got it out to look at it for these tests.

[@UpInYourFeelings]

that's how I blew mine apart, I won't ever get another one. I'll stay with my 20 yo 8510 till it dies then replace it with another.

[@c182SkylaneRG]

@@UpInYourFeelings Half the trouble with admiring the ones that are 20 yrs old, is that "they don't make 'em like they used to". :) When I was in the market for a floor jack, I started with eBay and Craigslist, because I wanted one that was old and durable. I wound up just buying a new one that was rated for double the workload I needed it for, because everyone with a good old one is smart enough to hang on to it.

[@rydplrs71]

Great topic. I wore out a couple cheap ones rebuilding my house before I made room in my budget for a used right angle drill.

I have the Dewalt “60” and and have been using it for a while now at work, so far it hasn’t let me down.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@c182SkylaneRG]

I'm glad I watched to the end, and I, as with everyone else down here, really appreciate the thoroughness of these tests! I've been using the Dewalt 60 for drilling wiring holes in the upper and lower wall plates. I finally had the gears give up on me, with the debris preventing the mechanism from turning at all, and had to purchase a replacement, for which I bought the same one again. Drilling seems to be relatively heavy-duty for these adapters, but they still make it infinitely easier to drill 90 degrees to the wood in places where the drill simply won't fit, as opposed to the electrician I hired who used an extremely long straight drill and said "just guess the angle, and try not to miss". In his defense, I think he'd be going through a 90 degree adapter every other day.
