Bosch VS Makita Speed Test kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHnTYX-meMZ0mrs

[@sparx2391]

Changed all my tools to Bosch about 5 years ago, not one has ever let me down, I got the 5.8 joules Sds plus, the most powerful one I could find, brilliant tool

[@LSturboguy]

same here I went 18v bosch blue Pro brushless, hammer drill, 5" angle grinder, 5.125" random orbit sander, rattle gun, 2x 5AH and 2x 6ah batteries, both the 5ah batteries failed at just over 12 month but I repaired them by replacing 2 of the 10 cells in each of them bosch would have replaced them but I couldn't find the Purchase receipt

[@khuongathebounga4141]

Thanks for the Bosch review. All my Bosch tools have held up really well. But its good to see them finally catch up with the others when it comes to power. Now they need to make a stronger Freak impact driver.

[@luisinhoens90]

Agreed, although I believe it needs more RPMs and IPMs than torque. I just got the GDX18V-1860 which translates to 210Nm, used to have the 3 spd 200Nm version. They both remove my car and truck's lugnuts with ease. Breakaway torque is actually 365 Nm or 270 ft/lbs which is pretty strong for a tool that doubles as impact driver. 1/4" hex adapters can't take much before breaking anyway. But the 3400 no load RPMs definitely get cut at least in half when setting screws and lag bolts. That's where I can see the tool improving.

[@khuongathebounga4141]

@@luisinhoens90 Yeah i totally agree with the speed too. I've got the 3 speed 200nm like you used to but the RPM's drop alot under load. How are you finding the GDX18V-1860? Was it worth upgrading to?

[@Blobb2013]

@@khuongathebounga4141 I also have the 1860. it's weird cause the german version has different branding (GDX 18v 210 C). Doesnt make any sense, why they use different names in the US/UK. Anyway, i love this thing. It's pretty much become my daily driver for working on cars and around the house. I haven't had any issues with larger screws. I usually only use speed 1 and 2, 3 is overkill in most cases for my applications. A good bitholder is definitly a good investment. I already killed one, it just fell apart :D I use 4 Ah procore batteries which also improve the power output a little. For everything that needs brute force i have the GDS 18v 1050, which has 1700nm breakaway torque and is on a par with the top of the line milwaukee impact. There hasen't been a single nut/bolt this thing didn't break loose.

[@khuongathebounga4141]

@@Blobb2013 Thanks for sharing your experiences with the 1860. Sounds like i might need to upgrade mine. I'm also still running on non procore batteries as well, however i just ordered a 4ah and also an 8ah procore so should be getting them soon. Yeah i agree with the strange name difference. Sometimes it makes it really confusing. They should have just stuck to the same model number worldwide. As for the GDS 18v1050, that is one tool I'd love to own. Glad to hear that its been able to handle anything you've thrown at it too as it gives me more confidence in thinking abut buying it.

[@gregorsamsa1364]

They need to redeem the freak

[@tdimccullough]

I have the older 125 version of this drill. Doesn't have Bluetooth or levelling options but I'm well impressed with it.i sometimes use it for mixing tile adhesive and grout, mostly grout and it works perfectly.

[@robertcasey3528]

Great I've been waiting to see this drill. Bosch is finally stepping up in the power game. Quality has always been there just lacking in power in some cases.

[@mrbigberd]

I'd almost always pick smaller and lighter if it's sufficient for the job. I may pick up one of these for big jobs, but it'll probably stay in the box most of the time so I can save my arms from the added weight.

[@jonathangarzon2798]

Is there something it can't do though?

[@TheDwightMamba]

As a daily user of both Bosch and Milwaukee, I'm happy to see Bosch stepping up this year. Great review!!!

[@CamperKev]

I would not mind the extra weight of that Bosch drill. It tells me that quality is most likely involved. Perhaps strong metal gears and a strong heavy duty metal chuck. As an 18 volt tool, the Bosch shows how well it does up against a quality 40V Makita. While I normally stick to my beloved Makita platform, I do own some quality Bosch 240V tools and I have no complaints. I enjoyed the Bosch review. Happy to see more.

[@alexanderyu85]

40v or 18v is merely a marketing thing. Hilti says their lastest one provides higher power than 40v

[@pete_lind]

@@alexanderyu85 Year 2011 and Metabo had this beaten , 120 Nm soft / 276 Nm hard , by them then🙂 Attachment today cost about €285 On YT can be found with , Metabo BS18LTX Quick PowerX3 PowerExtreme Drill Driver with Impuls and Hi-Torque This is of course when Metabo was still doing quality tools and not like now owned by investment company . Bosch should have no need to cut the corners in its tool , when it is owned by Robert Bosch foundation , that also does charity .

[@dcl97]

That's simply because voltage does not equal power. While you can deliver the same power at a lower voltage it's not just for marketing. Higher voltage means higher efficiency, lower operating temps, and better reliability. That is why, for example, Milwaukee now rarely mentions "runtime" in there competitor comparisons, and they have begun to roll out some multi-battery tools a al Makitas X2 system. 36v is probably overkill for something like a drill or impact, but on constant high draw tools 36v has a real advantage.

[@permagnusandersson6052]

@@dcl97 and it means way less wear on the electronics and internals of the battery and motor because doubling the voltage means cutting the amps in halve.

[@mikehenthorn1778]

i have been using Bosch tools for 20+ years now. my 1st drill still works but has become my wife's house drill. they just fit my hand better. when you are working with a tool all day that matters more than the specs. the speed and power matter more to the boss as he needs more screws per hour. i need to be able to grip my steering wheel at the end of the day. i went all in on the 24V system and they still work great. the miter saw is easy to take to a job site.

[@mathiassmith5667]

A lot of people like to dog on Makita for being slow to release products to the US market, Bosch treats it like an Olympic sport.

[@engineer_alv]

4 years seems to be the average to release new tools to the Market. Milwaukee's Gen 4 is 4 years newer than Gen 3, Dewalt updated the 5 yr old DCD796 drill this year with the 805 and the 5yr old DCF887 hasn't even been updated. So I'll take Olympics more seriously now that everyone does the same

Cheers man

[@frans_d7989]

Thank you for your excellent review. One thing I did get from this is that the battery voltage has a little relevance to the tools performance. I suppose a watt is a watt regardless of the voltage. This brings me to the point. I have made an extensive investment in the Makita 18V platform and feel that Makita is no longer supporting this platform. Their battery technology has remained static for the last few years only providing a maximum capacity of a heavy 6.0Ah battery while their 40V platform have 8.0 Ah battery, that would equate to 16.0 Ah if it was on 18V platform. I think it is time to switch, Bosch is looking good.

[@DMSparky]

I don’t mind my super powerhouse drill being a bit heavier as long as it has lots of performance and extreme durability. I think the race to make super high torque cordless drills as microscopic has come at the expense of longevity. I used to have a gen 2 Milwaukee fuel which I burned out replaced it with a brushed hilti which is smooth as silk and got 4 speeds and tons of power.

[@daniels1263]

How on earth did u burn out a fuel ?

Great review, thanks. The Bosch definitely has some extras which no other brands offer. Another point for the Makita is the light though. It annoys quite a bit - even standing behind the tool the light makes you blind.

[@jellybalboa100]

Some of my blue Bosch tools are nearly 20 years old I am surprised how long they have lasted, due to this fact alone It would never make sense for me to switch to another brand, blue Bosch for life

I love the Bosch for Masonry rework

[@Ruudwardt]

One thing to mind when assessing 'power' is how much rpm each have. Makita has more rpm in either gear. Power being proportional to rpm and torque - the Makita appears to still have more raw power. We already know that Makita underperforms with the 4 Ah battery (next to even a 2.5Ah pack). I can confirm that 5 Ah pack gives it more punch than 2.5 Ah. The Bosch is clearly a worthy powerful drill. Back when the drills were in an aluminium enclosure (WW2 ish) the bubble lever was common. Nice to see the feature returning in modern package.

[@lukie4ever]

Do you want to test the gsr18v-60fc? It has an sds attachment, right angle attachment, an excentric attachment and the regular chuck, you can also put a 1/4bit in when there's no attachment on it like an impact driver, just search it up you'll see what I mean

[@fuloplehel]

Great review and testing. I just bought this bosch gsr 18v-150C, I also have the older gsr 18V-110C for more than 5 years. But this new one is more powerful but also heavier. I like the angle detection function. At some point in this video I saw smoke coming out from the bosch, when you tested with that 12mm screw. Did the temperature protection do it's job? Any warning or red light on the interface.? My Bosch angle grinder use a similar hmi and if I push too hard the warning light is blinking red. Or maybe just some oil or something else was evaporating. It happens when you abuse a new tool.

This one is individual - but I do like long easy to adjust side handles on powerful drills. Bosch kit is often robust. I wish it had a 3 speed gearbox, they are often very useful. As a system I'd prefer Makita or Milwaukee, despite already using some mains powered Bosch tools. One downside of the Bosch is size - especially length, that can be a pain.

[@permagnusandersson6052]

with brushless tools and constant speeds 3 gears are obsolete. I have the Makita drill from this video and even on the very first speed setting, e.g. pulling the trigger ever so slightly, it will not stall under heavy load. The first speed of the first gear is very slow, a 3rd gear would not benefit. I'm sure it's the same with this new Bosch drill.

[@cayrick]

An important category you ignore, and I learned from experience is chuck durability and life. Why? I own a Dewalt hammer drill DCD696 and the chuck is its Nemesis. Chuck jams frequently and fails prematurely. To replace the chuck requires drill disassembly and a torch to free the drill shaft which has been shrink fitted into its housing. This is a biggie. I have used mine for heavy duty drilling of granite boulders prior to splitting them. That is heavy duty. Drills like the Bosch and my Dewalt are for lighter duty work. Remember the chuck is the weak link on any drill and easy replacement is a big item you have overlooked. Dewalt wants you to replace the drill and not the chuck.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Well why are you not using a Rotary Hammer drill? And do you mean the DCD996?

[@cayrick]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Excellent question. I own the Dewalt and felt that I only had one or two grantie rocks to break up but I keep finding more and second guess myself saying that if I buy a rotary hammer I will likely never use it. What I think is important is that these 1/2 inch hammer drills are essentially light to moderate duty and with Dewalt you get a chuck which constantly jams (an irritation) and chuck replacement means disassembling the drill and heating the shaft housing to free it and then rebuilding the hammer portion.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I left the Titanic out of this one.

[@ironpirate8]

I would really like to see how the 18v biturbo circular saw measures up to the 36v and 40v makitas. Bosch seem to have decided to stick to 18v but upgrade batteries and motors, but is that enough? I'm on the 18v Bosch platform and that saw might be a future purchase.

[@AkosLukacs42]

AFAIK, that is a pretty good saw. Also, don't forget that current 21700 cells like in 18v bosch are much better than 10+ year old 18650 battery technology. Pretty sad that makita 18v stuff and their new 40v batteries are not compatible in any way.

[@engineer_alv]

As long as you don't need Outdoor Power equipment like leaf blowers, lawn mowers or chainsaws, 18V is plenty for most jobs. OTOH, 40V gives you more runtime than an 18V tool with the same Ah battery.

[@smartmeis]

i love this! thinking of investing in bosch instead of dewalt now lol

[@WRyan-fh4lo]

If u work big jobs do yourself a favor everyone has DeWalt or Milwaukee

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Buy Dewalt if you want to spend half your life at service centres.

[@Ben-wd2in]

Why does BT come as an add on and not pre installed? That chip would cost an hand full of cents to produce.

[@Failsafeman100]

Exactly, profiteering by having it as an accessory

[@2loco]

Cost aside, it's probably to stop the snowflake conspiracy twats from running scared of the tool. I know some guys that think the "government" is rolling out 5g mobile frequency so they can infect us with corona virus... 😵‍💫🤦‍♂️

Wrists and arms can’t be replaced. Unnecessary power comes at a price. A guy at my job lost a finger and damaged two others with a grinder and a wire wheel. It ran all up his chest and arms. It really whipped his…. Like a squirrel or something.

[@slayerspam]

that's terrifying. I should be more careful with my stuff. I sprained my wrist pretty bad last spring drilling 1/2 inch holes in 1/4 inch steel. I didn't have a side handle for my cordless drill and I wasn't aware just how powerful these things have become nowadays. I mean these things will tear your arms off!

[@Anglo-EgyptianMan]

Cool tool, great video!

[@rcr76]

Every drill I have had going back to the old 9.6 stick battery makita I have just set it to drill .never messed about with the clutch .a lot of extra features that I would never use

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I never used them either... until I got the Makita 40v which takes it to another level.

[@riba2233]

Hi, do you plan on reviewing any orange makita tools? (Chep MT line). Would be really interesting to see how they compare to their teal counterparts

[@suvijakengr3374]

Awaiting the Dewalt new flagship combination drill from Thailand.

[@chipperkeithmgb]

It’s ok will stay with my Panasonic

[@MESTER47]

Hello again from Romania, Transylvania, land of Dracula! 😉 I just ordered this drill, should I keep, after you tested it you like it enough to keep it and to work with it? I'll appreciate an honest review. I got it with 250 us dollars, with a 8ah battery plus a charger. Thank you so much for now.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

It's a good drill and that's a good price.

[@MESTER47]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL thank you, yes, its a good price. Your tool reviews are amazing, it relaxing watching tool reviews. 😉 Cheers.

Salut, Îmi poți spune unde anume ai văzut-o la banii ăștia, cu acumulator de 8 și încărcător? Voiam să o iau solo( am deja o linie de la ei, ptr uz casnic) dar la banii ăștia ar fi ok +acumulatorul , nu mai zic și de încărcător. Daca se poate, mulțumesc. Să o folosești cu plăcere

[@joshgorham975]

Who actually uses these hammer drills? Any time I have tried it after a couple of minutes I give up and just get a roto-hammer, save the money and weight, just get a driver drill.

[@slayerspam]

I don't always carry my rotary hammer with me though so there are times when that feature kinda saves the day. Especially for a few holes or something. Rotary hammers are so much better admittedly and I love being able to use the chipping feature on mine. It's a mini jack hammer

[@macvos]

What's the use in testing power in a torque limited setting? Therefore, always use the drill setting for power tests.

[@dannym670]

It would be interesting to see how these two compare with the 18v mafell!!

[@harlanborders943]

Concrete has been Bosh’s territory. Most concrete crews have Bosh bulldog drill’s

[@S14AA]

You didn't try the large long auger ? Like in the opening photo of the drill?

[@bimble7240]

I would like to see how the performance of this (Bosch) drill compares when using the Procore 4Ah battery pack which is 440g lighter.

[@Zozo806]

its weaker. Bosch has this drill optimized for the 5.5 and 8ah. With the 4Ah you have like 70% of its full potential

[@davetaylor4741]

Not for me. After something like 30 years away from Bosch I foolishly bought a load. Nothing but trouble with them. The earlier ones with the chip and the app did nothing. Totally pointless. At least this time you can change something. Four out of six batteries died well within warranty. Everything that broke was a mission to get Bosch to repair. And took forever. Hardly use any of the tools now. The grinder mostly still works when it feels like it then stops for no reason. Won't even turn on for a few days then works as normal for quite some time until it chooses to stop again. The only Bosch tool I really like is my cordless jigsaw. I have owned various breeds and used even more including Festool. I still own a high end Makita electric jigsaw. Horrible thing. But every Bosch jigsaw I have owned just works. Can't see me buying anymore Bosch.

[@BLASTIC0]

Im hoping this will be powerful enough to run a 4” auger for fence posts. 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@DiligentDave1966]

If you’re comparing tools to the Olympics, Milwaukee is like Russia. They get new athletes ready pretty quickly, but they’re pumped full of steroids lol.

[@spreaddeezhazelnutz7511]

18:45 Did anyone else see the smoke coming out of the Bosch when it stopped?

[@fuloplehel]

Yes, I do see the smoke. I have this tool for two weeks and once I managed to get smoke out on my tool. Maybe when it's new it's covered by some chemicals and oil inside. My hilti angle grinder was doing the same, when it was new. But after that no problems.

[@sassall4284]

Goes best when it’s soft 😂 haven’t heard that before 😂

[@riba2233]

does makita also have anti-kickback?

[@januszR]

Only the 40v, not the 18v (neither the ddf/dhp486 nor the 481 unfortunately).

[@riba2233]

@@januszR thnx for conforming, that is what I thought I heard.

[@chrisgeoss2543]

I'll start off saying I love bosch. I want to say I love makita. In a test between both of those tools...makita won...I don't know what else to say....I'll take both!

[@Abhay-bz5qp]

Makita the best in the world, Gerrman is just hype

[@howardgreen9718]

I’ll be gutted if this drill is that good because I just migrated over to the Makita 18v platform

[@N1rOx]

very cool angle feature. level bubbles on drills were okay but obviously relied on the thing you were drilling into being level to be 90 degrees to it. this is a lot better!

[@mikymausgamesjaja]

2:40 you can use a battery to open it 😜

[@COM70]

The real question is can I give them to my dad to see which is tougher. He can kill a drill in a day.

[@kizzjd9578]

Would’ve liked to see it race against the makita drilling a 300mm auger!
