DeWALT'S New Atomic Impact Driver Compared To Milwaukee M18 Fuel (IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD)

[@ucnhtmenow1]

I actually love the number one setting on the DeWalt because it literally does not let you strip/go too deep into things if you don't want/need to.

[@JamesEid]

I'm looking at getting the dewalt. I agree, the 1 setting should be so you don't efup a tenuous screwing situation... hopefully that doesn't get flagged as inappropriate lol

i like the self tapper mode the milwaukee has, plenty of power to get th job done quickly, but will usually stop when you get too close to breaking something

like he said in the video "your finger is the speed control". I can run speed 3 on my milwaukee all day and not strip or drive to deep...its not the tool it's user error

Great effort into making these reviews for tools. I used Dewalt cordless for over 10 years. No1 speed works best with punching screws into aluminum extrusions to not strip the thread aswell as fixing finish products so the driver dont break screws or round out the head. Brushless is the best thing to happen to cordless tools. My dcf887 type1 has made me alot of money running 20v 4amp bats. Precision and comfort outweighs rare power in my opinion.

Both great and powerful tools ...less than 1 second difference between the two not a big deal. I think weight, size and comfort in the hand is more important. Dewalt I feel is definitely more comfortable and now with the new batteries coming out I think we will continue to see longer run times (and power) which we all know we don't want to be changing batteries all day. I barely use my 20v DeWalt tools and just use my 12 volt. Carrying them and using them make for a easier day. Both companies are great but Milwaukee 12v are just uncomfortable in the hand.

The bloke in red is definitely has less control of his hands.

That dewalt impact is my lil buddy. Especially with a powerstack battery, I would gladly sacrifice power for its ergonomics. I have the newest Milwaukee and I love it too, just don't even want to get it dirty because it's such a nice well built tool! Lol but if I had to pick, it's the dewalt atomic for all around use

[@adambomb7331]

It looks like there's a few less pounds on the person behind the DeWalt tool. Nice work Jimmy

[@VCGConstruction]

Jimmy looking good! Am I right?

[@meme5887]

@@VCGConstruction The Milwaukee didn't even need a high output battery to win!

[@5jjt]

I am not sure in the carpentry world, but in the automotive world, there's something to be said about the design of the nose of the impact. The more the nose resembles a cone, instead of being flat, the more it can reach sometimes without having to use an extension. Flat nosed impacts often need total head clearance to reach a fastener, whereas a cone shape nose can gen in there with its reach often enough.

[@toolbox1]

Maybe new technology needs new battery?. Both are very good tools. Prefer Milwaukee but I will probably get that small dewalt just because of the size for me it's not always the speed or power that counts. Thanks to VCG and Vince for taking your time and demo the new Dewalt.

[@VCGConstruction]

You da best Robert, thanks for your feedback!

[@trillyungwavy-gamingchanne6608]

This dudes energy is awesome I just subbed

[@steher]

Milwaukee S2 seems to be what S2 is supposed to be and S3 has the boost you need when you bump up to S3. Dewalt's S2 has more power than needed and their S3 doesn't have enough.

[@MarcosGarcia-xg1rf]

Your energy is unmatched !

[@kevinklepp5894]

Great video as always you do give a good honest testing and review but knowing milwaukee is old they still can't build tools to compete with them

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks Kevin, we appreciate it!

[@GC-yd3br]

Like the vs the impact drivers battle and do more!!!

[@1ronhall]

Great video and I’m sure both will serve any contractor very well ….. but the unique brand’s ecosystem and battery swaps will determine which is ultimately purchased. Could you imagine a universal and swappable battery design?

[@jackbenner11]

Adapters brotha I know it’s not a universal battery but paying $20(per adapter) to use a dewalt/miluwakee battery on anything is pretty wicked

[@User-zl9pj]

Then it would be what color do u prefer

[@lmars]

From a Milwaukee kid who watched his grandad use Milwaukee tools, who grew up to buy Milwaukee Tools, It’s Milwaukee All Day for me! 💪🏾 💪🏾

[@alanlambert5717]

The main thing to get right. Screws of any kind will cam out if the screw bit is worn out. I would only use an impact driver on bolts and nuts. Use the drill for screws

[@stephenleepmg113]

There both good tools. A contractor friend that I work with a lot recently purchased the Gen 3 Milwaukee impact and it is really fast. So we will see how it holds up over time. But I am a long time German Metabo user and Bosch user. They suite me well. Thanks for the video Vince. Hope you have an awesome evening.

[@VCGConstruction]

Good feedback Stephen, and you know I’m a big fan of the FREAK!

[@tomcartwright7134]

I am pleased to see competition return to the tool manufacturers. Dewalt seems to have gone south for a few years. I personally use Ryobi battery powered tools. The cost to performance fits my budget. I own about 75% of their line of different tools. Average age of my tools is twelve to fifteen years and still going strong. I did use them at work for about ten years . I have only needs to replace one battery in that whole time. But when I win the lottery I will go straight to Milwaukee as I think overall it is the most durable and powerful tool for the money.

[@MasterTuttoo]

Man Vince is so passionate about Milwaukee, it's like his reputation and credibility is at stake when Milwaukee loses

[@yeetyskeet5548]

Yeah he's very biased

Always a joy to see tests like this and the fun banter from Vince and Jimmy. Oh, what fun it is😁

[@VCGConstruction]

Thanks Aepek!

[@Borescoped]

IMO, Old Red took that one, but for an Atomic, I’ll give it some credit, it did well!

I deserve a rematch Boredscoped!

Either way I think the key is having your beard on point and well groomed. Either way your a winner sir!

[@VCGConstruction]

Very true

[@georgiaguardian4696]

Both are extremely close. DeWalt’s wins the weight and size and refinement of the torque. Milwaukee seems to have the higher power.

[@elijahwhitfield3032]

What's the Dilly I'm only like 2 hours from philly let's go this video was very entertaining I appreciate it 🤣🙏🏾

[@RLSteffler]

Man Milwaukee is so, so solid.

[@VCGConstruction]

Milwaukee definitely deserves a rematch! Am I right?

[@kennycolonsamol]

It is solid but also remember that this is the Atomic (compact less powerful line) series not the XR… and I am sure that Dewalt is coming out with a new XR soon hopefully

[@jonathanharris969]

Do a rematch if you like but I think Milwaukee won that one.

[@gabrielbranco2013]

I didn´t know Ali G had a channel about tools.

[@haydenschneider3]

Lmao this made me laugh “slippy but syndrome” “my holes cleaner then yours” “I hit a knot” 😂😂. Made me laugh. I’m 16 and just ordered the atomic max kit of 4 tools so I’m glad to see that people are really liking them and that it beats Milwaukee at some things but really when it’s comes down to a Matter of milliseconds or secodns it’s not gonna save you much time at jobs. All brands are good 👍🏻

[@superT282]

I think the hardest thing about owning Milwaukee is the extra time to watch videos and tell people how much better it is

[@haydenschneider3]

@@superT282 not much better. And dewalt has better deals and I’ve never had a dewalt tool die on us before

[@haydenschneider3]

@@superT282 I have nothing against Milwaukee. I’ve never tried them. Just dewalt has better deals and that’s what we’ve been using for a while so that’s why I went with them

Great video VCG. Im pretty impressed by the new atomic. Looking forward to seeing the new XR model when it comes out , that will be the true test for the milwaukee.

Torque test channel dictated a used tool doesn't make a huge difference. A negligible difference at that
