I’ve had that exact black and decker impact for years. Love that thing. Dropped it in water buckets and dried it out, thrown it. It got sprayed with brake clean then set on fire. Left outside Still works perfect to this day. Love that thing. Also that metal on the front is just plastic.

I have a whole set of these Black & Decker tools (drill, impact driver, saw, etc.) and use them heavily in a city living situation. I would say they're solid for 1.5 - 2 years and then you'll start seeing a lot of failures and issues (if you use them heavily). For a regular home owner, you'll see more life out of them.

He drilled the screw too close to the edge of the piece of wood, so the mentioned piece of wood split before the screw got deep. Then he drove the screw farther from the edges to see the B&D with an actual challenge, and it buckled. The Makita drove it through, like it was supposed to and the wood splitting at the very end tensioning had nothing to do with it's victory.

[@ThePepsicola1995]

Yet, during the second drilling of the B&D, he already damaged the wood in such a way that the makita had an easier time drilling the screw head deep into the wood.

[@roguerunner4032]

@Wranglerstar The burning electronics smell is likely due to the brushed motor arcing and burning out, the Makita wouldn't have that smell since it is brushless, same reason as to why the B&D had lights on the inside. From the brushes arcing.

[@JosephStacavich]

Also the reason for the size difference he points out in the beginning. Not really a 1:1 review here.

[@roguerunner4032]

I stand corrected, I never knew that Makita made a brushed drill, all the tools I have seen and own are brushless, and I didn't even realize that they made a brushed version until I went to their website and scrolled all the way down. The more you know...

in 2016 I bought the last two tool Porter - Cable 12 volt cordless drill and impact driver set at Lowe's here in Canada. They were no longer going to sell 12 volt Porter - Cable tools. I wanted just the drill because it had been highly rated in tests on a contractor's tool test website. I got both for a fantastic $ 100. I have never seen as good a deal. I had no idea what an impact driver was for, and so I sold it after much difficulty for $ 35. I wish I had kept it ! The drill is FANTASTIC ! Nice and compact with loads of torque and great speed. Great batter life, too. I read that for general household use 12 volts is enough. You don't need 18 or 20 volts. A contractor will, though. Now I am hearing that Stanley - Black & Decker who own DeWalt. Porter - Cable, and Black & Decker are going to discontinue the Porter - Cable line. They plan on merging it into their Craftsman power tool line which they bought when Sears went belly up. DeWalt is their premium "contractor" brand, Porter - Cable is their mid range line, and Black and Decker is their budget line. Thirty years ago Black and Decker corded drills, and Skills corded drills were good rugged tools. Today, not any longer. Skil I am not sure about but Black and Decker tools are JUNK !

I have had a Black & Decker drill for over 15 years and it still works. Decided to purchase a newer model last year and currently getting ready to buy a B & D impact driver..

[@giltesker2]

it all came down to the bigger battery of the Makita (3AH) VS the smaller B&D one (1.5AH). the amperage of a battery not only mean the time it last but also the more continues power it provides, while the voltage only gives the max speed of it.

[@timhump63]

I scrolled down to find this comment. Given a common discharge rate of 10c means that the Makita battery will provide 600 watts, while the B&D battery is only capable of providing 270 watts. Try to find a like sized battery and try the test again.

But cordless circular saws work wonderfully as long as you use them properly. I also have a Makita worm drive and it is obviously no comparison. Because actually craftsmen dont expect tools to do more than their purpose.

Broken Wave. I agree a good tool doesn't make a good craftsman, but was also taught to buy the best u can afford, buy cheap buy twice.

[@Hanzilla75]

If you use any tool only the way it was intended and look after it, it will usually last as long as possible. You should always pre-drill for large screws and you would never put two tools face to face like that. A better test would have been to do a durability and longevity test making a larger task with repeat actions and then evaluating the handling, power drop-off curve and amount of work done on a single charge. That would be useful for those of us on a budget to understand the difference between a budget consumer tool and a professional grade tool. Most DIY users could no doubt manage just fine with a Black & Decker, while a proffesional would value the durability and longer work time of the Makita.

What we seemed to learn is that if you try to drive a fastener that’s much bigger than most of us will use, then maybe you need to spend double the money. I would think for most home use jobs the B&D would be fine. Would have liked to see if the Makita could have finished the B&D screw. Give real life examples. Most of us will drive 3 or 3.5 inch screws into 2x2 or 2x4. For framing etc. If you’re a pro doing bigger jobs you buy a pro priced tool.

[@calebfuller4713]

IRL you'd never drive a coach screw like that into wood without pre-drilling a pilot hole - because it will likely split, as you saw. With a pilot hole, the B&D can cope fine. I know because I own one. I've used it to bore 1/2" holes in concrete and drive 1/2" coach screws into timber no problem.

[@fortressfrazze3777]

Used Makita as a carpenter thousands of screws every day and never problem with Makita tools. But the most reliable brand in my opinion is Hilti. You can drop them several meters to the ground and they not break. In private I keep mostly Hilti because I know they will last my lifetime. But Hilti is expensive compare to most brands. But you must also ask your self how much you will use your tools. Maybe it is waste of money put 600 dollar in a machine you use once i a while. I can absolutely recommend Makita. Really much bang for the buck. If you not use it daily for years it will probably last decades. And like always when it comes to battery machines it is the batteries cost money. Big batteries cost more then the machine. So buy when they have special offer machine, 2 batteries and charger. And never less than 3 amp. Today also many machines use the same batteries witch is great. So be sure you buy same serie if you need several machines.

[@erwinmaes3105]

makita has a fast charger thats why there is a cooling fan to prevent the battery from overheating !! you may get some noise, but you charge a 1.5ah battery in 10 minutes

I have the drill brother to that impact driver. About as powerful as you would expect a 3/8" drill to be, nothing to write home about. It is reliable though. I've been putting off buying a second battery for it for YEARS. That right there ought to tell you something about the battery. ;) I hate to nitpick..3 years later even.. but you didn't fully charge that Black & Decker before you hit a 1/2" lag bolt with it.

[@CarterAndBrady]

Did you know that Black and Decker/DeWalt reads "20v" on its batteries for marketing purposes? Every 18v tool will read 20.4 volts at full charge, but will read 18 volts nominal charge. DeWalt and apparently Black and Decker chooses to put "20v" in order to trick the consumer. It is clever, but also kind of messed up.

It worries me when a supposed expert doesn't realize that the Makita charger makes a lot of noise because it is a quick charger and the noise is a turbo fan that cools off the battery so that it can be charged immediately and rapidly. Try and charge a hot battery from Dewalt, Milwaukee, Ryobi or any other manufacturer that doesn't have the immediate quick charge features that Makita sports. You'll be greeted by a yellow or amber wait awhile light until the battery cools off and then it will trickle charge the battery for a couple of hours to get back in use.

[@Meta194]

I can predict what will happen to: * drill bits - going to become blunt a lot faster; * bits - either warp or break; * dremel - depends on how cheap, probably similar to what you just saw (if it's really poorly made you might see the chuck or motor failing); * cheap saw blades in my experience come blunt out of the package (may depend on what saw you mean); * imo safety glasses would be hard to test, but i guess the cheaper kind would scratch/fog way more easily.

[@Varadiio]

Cheapest safety glasses wouldn't be that hard. I'd recommend the "safety" as priority for testing. A good example might be shooting at them with a nail gun. The good ballistic glasses from co's like Oakley are very good at taking shrapnel and such. I'd be interested in the cheaper options' capabilities.

[@RS-pe9wn]

[@TheVexCortex]

For safety glasses, get a multi-pack or something, and step up the tests until you get constant failures, then apply to the good ones. I'd do a scratch test first, get a mohs hardness test kit, record what hardness it takes to scratch. Next would be impact test, start with a 2x4 and wack the glasses once on each lens. Then step it up to small hammer (ball peen perhaps?), then a larger hammer, then the mini sledge, if they're still intact, full sledge. Then on fresh glasses, drive fasteners into the lenses, nail gun, 16 penny nail, construction screw driven in with hammer. Then maybe a solvent and corrosive test, does it stand up to brake cleaner, paint thinner, mineral spirits, etc.

[@TheShack444]

The wood test was innacurate due too the first bolt putting strain on the wood, when the second screw is driven in the wood splits and reduced to torque needed to fully drive home the bolt. good test and lot to be said for the cheaper option.

[@geraldpatrick9463]

@@santroff5050 I noticed the same thing. Any one with woodworking experience knows to stagger the placement of fasteners to prevent splitting. Plus driving that size lag is asking for splitting.

[@Rick-the-Swift]

I'm in the company of pros. Right off the bat I knew that second screw was going to split the wood when he drove it into the same line of grain as the first. And also that the first bolt was "prying the door open" for that second bolt to gain full entry. Would like to see an accurate test performed by someone that isn't bias to the Makita. Still it was an "E" for effort😊

[@SimplyMage19]

That's actually a fking great idea man, he needs to try that

[@blackilluzionz]

The Makita was able to drive the lag screw because it split the wood through the hole already screwed by the B&D.

[@CuriousFocker]

And the 2nd B&D screw was being driven above a knot.

[@SpencerLV]

blackilluzionz yes I know I reading though th comments and I was going to say the same thing

[@PondCountry11]

Should have seen if Makita could have finished putting the same screw in. Lost opportunity there.

[@palindrome414]

I came here to post this as well. The Makita may be better but that test wasn't fair.

[@docferringer]

My Makita can drive a 10 inch screw into a wooden block and take the (impact wrench-tightened) lug nuts off of my tires, so I wouldn't worry too much about the "fairness" of this test.

[@QuestForTheOpenRoad]

The wood split while the Marita was driving in the lag, making it a bit easier on it to complete the drive. It was not quite a fair test. But i can say from experience, out of 9 B&D drills and impacts i have purchased, 6 of the motors went bad in under 1 year.

[@ant-su6pt]

QuestForTheOpenRoad did you also spot the BaD was driving the screw in to a big not making it harder

[@TheVenerableMrKrieg]

Saved me the trouble of pointing out exactly that.

[@QuestForTheOpenRoad]

ant3695 no, but now that you mention that... im not asking cody to change what he did, i just wanted to point it out for people really wanting this info. I would also recommend B&D tools, but know they are cheaper, and a bit lower quality. I have had many, because I like the variety of tools that can be used with the same batteries, i have at least 20 batteries now.... lol

The Makita charger makes noise becouse it has a fan to cool the battery while it is charging and you can change the beep on the Makita charger.

[@Jaker788]

More importantly, the charger electronics doing the fast charging.

[@draggmask]

Yeah, and it takes like 30 min to charge it to full, that's why it's got a fan. When you charge super fast you need cooling.

take it to pieces and compare the components, vs holding and saying heavy is better?

dfgdfg I guess this is a more practical layman's review. But if you're interested in that you might want to look at the 'Popular Mechanics' magazine. I got mine when I was 11 and I've loved it for all three years I've had it!

[@felixboge9559]

Dude, the makita charger has a fan in it to cool the battery while charging so it dosnt lose capacity, thats why its so noisy...

[@Roberob1189]

Felix Böge it also has 5 different ringtones to let you know when charging is complete. Or you can shut all noise tones off.

[@odbguy5886]

How do you change the noise ? Mine seems to change randomly once after a few weeks then next a few months and I have no clue how??

[@Xixu.co.6]

Odb Guy Put the battery in and take it back out. Each time you do it it'll change the noise

[@Xixu.co.6]

Felix Böge Yea funny he complains about the fan but doesn't acknowledge the fact that the makita charger will charge a 3ah battery in about 15 minutes while the b&d takes an hour to charge a 1.5ah. Makita has the fastest chargers on the market, the fan is definitely required lol

[@derekperez1418]

Makita has the best thermal protection of all brands. I've worked as a solar installer in socal for 7 yrs. and toasted most of the others. Batteries get sapped from hot rooftops and Sun exposure. Makita batteries also recover faster and survive 15+ft drops.

[@robfromaz1977]

Should have taken the Makita and finished driving the lag bolt that the Black and Decker stopped on.

[@irvingfael9379]

if the wood breaks, it is easy to screw, in the first attempt black and decker screwed because the wood broke, the second try not ... when makita screwed, the wood broke, is not a fair comparison.

[@steven__7009]

You can change the sound setting on the Mikita charger. Plug in the battery twice, really quick, and there are actually like 10 different sound settings. One of them is just silent. Took me a while to figure that one out!

[@ManWithBeard1990]

The 2 extra volts is pure marketing. Here in Europe they're just sold as 18V because that's what they are. They have 5 cells of 3.6V nominal, but when fully charged the peak voltage is about 4V, and that's what's quoted in your area.
