Former automotive paint tech. I had this Kimo wrench to quick assembly / disassembly of bumpers, tailgates and doors. Never had an issue with the product in 3 years. One of the battery tabs broke after it fell a few times from a height greater than 3 ft.
I know you have it out for that DeWalt drill, but the diesel shop I work for uses a bunch of 'em. We've dropped 'em, whacked 'em, kicked 'em, and they just keep going. They're definitely not the best, but they've done their job.
I’ve had that Dewalt drill I bought from Amazon for about 8 years now, and I haven’t had any issues with it. I’ve done tons of projects with it and it has never let me down. I recently got the impact driver to go with it and that has been a great tool. Is it a top of the line Milwaukee? ; no but it gets the job done fine. Even if it is the crappier battery, you get two with it, so I’ve never run out of juice for a project.
I will just say I bought the DeWalt kit you hate in 2013 and it has worked great. I don't use it for knocking big nuts off but it works driving my fence screws, deck screws and cabinet screws and the chuck has not fallen off!!!
that's great. I think the bear's point is that kit from 2013 still sells for the same price as a much newer, more capable and probable as long-lasting tool? I mean, if Apple charged you the same $1K for an iPhone 11 as they do for a 16, would you rather take the 11 home?
I bought a Dong Cheng angle grinder for just $25 and I'm impressed at how well built it is, only downside is that it has a brushed motor, but it comes with the replacement brushes which is a good thing, also I'm not a pro but a farmer and I used it sporadically to cut rusty bolts and it works, so yay!
Great video! Thank you for your honesty. And don't get my wife going about ordering groceries on line with store workers picking out your stuff. She'll crawl to the store before she does that. LOL
Skil 12v tools are insanely good for a budget option. I bought a drill and impact set for $100 three years ago and they’re both still ticking and I use them professionally AND I was just at Lowes and they’ve updated the impact to make it way shorter which is sick and THEY’RE THE SAME PRICE STILL! Blew my mind
And they're often a lot cheaper. I just got a combo with drill, impact, oscillating tool, flashlight, and 2 batteries for $80. The only cost cutting I see in this kit is the batteries are their older style that can't be charged with USB, but that's getting nitpicky especially for the price.
@@jaaron2834 The wormdrive saws are from SKILSAW, not Skil. They are both owned by the same parent company, but are very much not the same brand. Like DeWalt and Craftsman or Milwaukee and Ryobi. Most of Skil's stuff is much higher quality than you'd expect for the price, but still short of the actual premium brands, such as SKILSAW.
Yeah, I bought the 10 or 11 piece set for $150 and it's great! I wasn't expecting much for that price but I'll tell you after using the tools they are way underpriced. Great tools!
Thanks for the honest review. Opened my eyes! By the way, my B&D rechargeable screw gun I bought over 15+ years ago is still one of the tools I use the most! Can’t find it anymore unfortunately.
I have a small fleet of cars (12) that I rent. I do minor jobs like brakes, oil changes, etc. When it comes to power tools I use Milwaukee due to the M12 lines. I got a M12 Stuby 1/2 as a gift and well to keep the harmony I have the rest but I I had to start from 0 I will go with Hercules. Regarding sockets, I have found the NEIKO brand to be very good for the price !
I used Amazon Basics sound proofing mat on a whim as a budget fill in to finish a project when the kilmat was not going to ship in time. That was actually great quality. On par with the kilmat
I bought 3 Black & Decker drills (small size) and absolutely love them! They were super cheap, came with a battery and charger. They fit in my hand so nice! They are light and compact. They are my go to drills almost every time I need a drill. I've had them for about 4 years. Batteries are starting to go but I ordered bigger capacity, compatible ones from Amazon and so far they have been awesome.
I have been using Black & Decker for years, when we were building our house, our contractor borrowed my 12-volt Drill and left it out in the rain overnight and it worked fine for years after that, the batteries finally gave out and I upgraded to 20 volts.
i have had good luck with vevor . i have their electric concrete saw and rebar cutter . both work great. so never had to call customer service.they don't sell parts though so you do take a risk.
DeWalt 20v Drill (brushed) Ya, I saw your review then and now again. Mine is 20 years old, my 1.3 batteries are 13 and something like 15 years old (have other bats too) and it has never let me down. Can send pics with serial numbers to prove this is a great package just the greatest. PS back then they came in a hard case but like the bags better (have several bags today).
@@Henle15 Heavy industrial use throughout, is that "depends enough" ? We've all used the same (originally) so we could swap batteries and charge batteries. None have ever given a bit of problem. Maybe the one mentioned was a fluke .
I buy from Amazon. I have no problem with them. Amazon basics tinted safety glasses were a really good buy. Cheap and comfortable. That's anout my only experience with that line.
Some clone tools slip through the cracks on Amazon. Knives too. I have a DCK one handed recip. And had their impact driver at one time. They are ok. I would compare them to some of the older brushless Ryobi and Bauer. The Amazon basics that are made by Skil are ok. There is an electric screwdriver they have that's actually good.
Great video and entertaining 👏 Sadly 10 year ago I didn't know your channel an I bought a black friday black and decker tool set, brushless was extremely out of my budget and I wanted to build some thing here at home, I love every second with those little toys 😅 last year I tried buying some 7amp batteries for them and they are great, but sadly I'd loved to see a new line up fron them. Thank you bear, have a beautiful weekend.
Black & Decker used to have made in England tools. Still have an old corded brush trimmer from an aunt made in the 80's in England, impossible to kill. It's a short one that can be used one handed, ideal to attack the overgrown ivy im pulling off from an abandoned garden im trying to get on top of.
Very good point on warranty for Milwaukee, I got bad batteries from a "supplier" that went dead as a flounder in 30 days. Milwaukee would not touch it. Lesson learned.
I would highly reccomed meliff tools, atleast when it comes to their own line up that are designed to work with their batteries. Also, their batteries are interchangeable with dewalt, except when it come to their chargers.
I’ve bought all kinds from Amazon without issue. Kimo, Dewalt, Ryobi, etc. Never received subpar goods or fakes. I do check reviews extensively though. Prices locally can’t compete. 🤷🏻♂️
I have a B&D 12v drill that I have had for 20+ years, it is great. I use it as a secondary to my Bauer. That said, I would never buy any thing from them any more. I needed a new battery, so I bought an "Real" B&D battery. It sucked. I ended up replacing the cells in my old one and "cleaning up" the electronics and it works as good as new.
Amazon sellers a lot of times are small business stores, that use Amazon, and some of these B&M stores refuse to match the price when you walk in , so people make a case for using Amazon.
I’m very picky what I buy on Amazon, usually fast and legit items. No random junk rarely. They’re probably good reason why stores are 3x more expensive.
Lol, all my power drill, cordless ratchet and impact wrench. Have had them over 3 years and they work great!! They were great deals and came with two batteries and a case. Don't trust reviews that haven't used the items. I wait months before providing a review. Open box reviews are useless!
I've registered tools with Ryobi, Ridgid, and a few with Milwaukee....seems to work ok, you can upload receipts as well. The problem is I have a feeling at some point all those registrations will disappear anyways, they use your data to sell to other companies for advertising purposes so you just get bombarded with junk mail more so than normal for a while it seems. The only thing with the Ridgid I know, is you have to register to get the lifetime service agreement, but so far I've had great luck with their tools, but I'm just a DIYer/Home user, so really the most basic tools usually do the job LOL. I wish there was a way to do what I do with Excel and just catalog all my purchases, date, store, tool description, model/serial numbers, and cost. Pretty basic but it would be nice if there was a way to do so online that worked with the company's database too, so it would share your inputs with the tool makers as well for warranty/registration stuff.
I have several of the Skil tools. I registered the serial number and receipt when I purchased for the 5 year warranty. I had a driver fail after 4 years. Went to the website, all the info was there, called the 1-800 number. They asked me to describe the problem, I did, they emailed me paperwork to take to nearby Fastenal store. I took the tool and paperwork in, they sent it in and in about 2 weeks I received a new tool via UPS. 2 days later, I received an email telling me how to register the replacment tool for warranty. Only thing better is Masterforce tools from Menards. I take the tool in, they tell me to go get a replacement off the shelf. They scan the barcode and I walk out the door.
TTI (Direct Tools Outlet) had a store in Southern Florida. I decided to visit the store and found out that it has been closed down. TTI had a store in Williamsburg, Virginia, which I decided to visit. I found out that that store had been closed down also.
For German tools, I ordered from Amazon Germany. The price including shipping is about 1/2 price of the same tool order the the U.S. Amazon. Also, the biggest problem with Amazon is they are not authorized reseller for a lot of stuff. So no warranty from Milwaukee, DeWalt, KYB struts... The list goes on.
@@thomasharrison899 I had to warranty an M12 die grinder right out of the box. So out of balance it shook itself to death. But other than that, I love all my DeWaukee.
I like some Dewalt tools but do not have any cordless Dewalt... kind of overpriced.... I snapped the shaft off in a Dewalt 1/2 drill corded version... i liked that drill so bought a replacement Dewalt drill in the corded 1/2 inch .... I also like their corded drywall screw guns...
The big boys have definitely created an impression that if a power tool isn't used by pros who use them daily, it's junk. I got an extremely good price on Amazon a Pro Stormer, whom I had never heard of, oscillating tool and it's been working great for me. After some research I bought an Amazon Basics electric screwdriver and it has been a major improvement over manual screwdrivers. I've learned good things about Neiko calipers.
I pretty much stay with Harbor Freight or Home Depot and some Tekton for tools. I had a cordless buffer from Amazon it was great till it almost caught on fire 🔥
Yeah, the brushed Dewalt drill is only good for drilling through small softwoods. I finally had to retire it because it was tiresome always having to look for something else for a 1" or larger spade bit.
I've bought quite a bit from vevor and hadn't had any problems, until I tried to return something. They started with the we will refund$ 15 🤦 finally I got a $74 part for about what it would cost to ship it back. I know have a high pressure fuel pump paper weight in my garage. Wrong electrical connector but oh well. That was the only problem I have had but yeah customer service is not good.
I will say also mellif has not let me down i have purchased 4 tools from them now and it's been great quality and price i have picked their stuff that has taken dewalt batteries but they also make a few tools that take the other major brands as well. Now I'll say that often I went looking for something they once offered but they no longer have to only bring it back around when I'm no longer looking 😂
“Marketing” is the Bain of any hope for a truly honest, fair, free market system. Few businesses are more dishonest than marketing! Maybe politics, but not many others come to mind.
I was watching this video and my son comes running in the room and asks where's the bear. Tell them I don't know. I haven't seen the bear in a while. I thought it was funny.
I wanted a spare DeWalt 12-volt drill driver and ordered the Xtreme 12-volt Max tool-only, mainly because it was listed as "next day delivery". Next day came, and late in the day they said, "Sorry, there's been a delay. Delivery will be in another two days." So at the end of the two days, another text saying, "Your order's been delayed. You can wait, or come back here for a refund." I don't want a refund, I want my damned drill!
File one of their A-Z complaints. If the item you bought didn't sell from amazon directly, and was sold through an independent retailer, they usually give you a refund almost immediately. Amazon doesn't care because they don't take a loss on the product. Someone else does. Its like Debit cards. The bank doesn't care if you get scammed because its not their money, its yours. For credit cards they care because its they're money and you have to pay it back.
I absolutely can’t stand Dewalt. I’ve had issues with Dewalt’s factory authorized warranty shops and Dewalt doesn’t stand by their customers. There’s a RUclips channel ‘Finish Carpentry TV’ who has a lengthy video about his experience which echoes my experience as well. Milwaukee and Bosch are my preferred brands for tools. Ryobi and Skil are my value tools. EGO for lawn & garden.
Im against buying big name brand power tools from amazon, i have gotten counterfeit batteries and tools. No joke i had a few fake dewalt batteries and even a counterfeit Milwaukee 2904 drill.
I wish amazon has same day delivery in my area, it takes an average 2-3 days i actually got same day delivery during jeff.Bezos was in charge, not anymore.I
Maybe 20 years ago, I burned up two DeWalt drills in a year! Since then I stayed away from DeWalt hand power tools. BTW…. DeWalt is owned by crappy Black and Decker. Band D makes the worst junk.
I've bought Milwaukee & DeWalt circular saws. DeWalt impact drivers DeWalt Multi tools, Milwaukee 18v right angle grinder. That's only a start. All on Amazon. Absolutely no problems. I'm very satisfied.
What happened to a lot of tool brands? They for whatever reasons were bought out by Stanley- Black & Decker and other companies--this includes Dewalt, Craftsman, Kobalt, others. Quality took a steep dive downward. Craftsman is now pure junk. Sears did a disservice when they ditched Craftsman. Their yard machines aren't worth the aggravation to purchase and hope they will perform. There is way too much junk on the market.

Yep, that was the deal of the year.
@@denoftools Chervon is crushing it with bringing skil back to a good brand!
I was watching this video and my son comes running in the room and asks where's the bear. Tell them I don't know. I haven't seen the bear in a while. I thought it was funny.
Pretty happy with Amazon’s Denali brand.
Lookin' good there, jeff!
Aoben and Swanlake are other good Amazon tool companies that have been around for a while.
Bro how makes DeWalt ? Black and Decker??
Stanley Black & Decker
Hey what you think about seesii extended rachet?
They make some great tools, but the only ratchets I’ve seen from them are 20 V and I prefer the 12 V form factor
No, don't buy that piece of junks. Mine gear pawl blew up just from manually loosening a 12mm nuts.....waste of moneys.
I wanted a spare DeWalt 12-volt drill driver and ordered the Xtreme 12-volt Max tool-only, mainly because it was listed as "next day delivery". Next day came, and late in the day they said, "Sorry, there's been a delay. Delivery will be in another two days." So at the end of the two days, another text saying, "Your order's been delayed. You can wait, or come back here for a refund."
I don't want a refund, I want my damned drill!
I’ve gotten burned by Amazon. Items that never arrive. It’s frustrating.
Yeah, I love when they say next day shipping and it comes three days later
File one of their A-Z complaints. If the item you bought didn't sell from amazon directly, and was sold through an independent retailer, they usually give you a refund almost immediately. Amazon doesn't care because they don't take a loss on the product. Someone else does. Its like Debit cards. The bank doesn't care if you get scammed because its not their money, its yours. For credit cards they care because its they're money and you have to pay it back.
Dong Cheng is a cheap & good tools, just that they have been so slow to introduce new tools to their target market.
I agree, never buy Milwaukee
I absolutely can’t stand Dewalt. I’ve had issues with Dewalt’s factory authorized warranty shops and Dewalt doesn’t stand by their customers. There’s a RUclips channel ‘Finish Carpentry TV’ who has a lengthy video about his experience which echoes my experience as well. Milwaukee and Bosch are my preferred brands for tools. Ryobi and Skil are my value tools. EGO for lawn & garden.
I’m out of the loop but do you still do Sunday night shows. They were great
He hasn't done a live stream in months
No, we keep talking about it, but what’s the family and the kids and all it’s been hard to make it happen
Im against buying big name brand power tools from amazon, i have gotten counterfeit batteries and tools. No joke i had a few fake dewalt batteries and even a counterfeit Milwaukee 2904 drill.
I wish amazon has same day delivery in my area, it takes an average 2-3 days i actually got same day delivery during jeff.Bezos was in charge, not anymore.I
When we are at our place in Vegas, we can get same-day delivery and then we go home to Montana and it takes at least a week if not more.
I bought most of my tools from Lowe's, less than a mile away. Home Depot is 20 miles away. I used to love Ace Hardware.
I couldn’t be seen having a tool in my hand that has Dong Cheng written on the side of it….😂
I buy most all my Milwaukee tools from Home Depot, when they have promotional exclusives. King Dong tools are a hard pass! 🤣
Maybe 20 years ago, I burned up two DeWalt drills in a year! Since then I stayed away from DeWalt hand power tools. BTW…. DeWalt is owned by crappy Black and Decker. Band D makes the worst junk.
I've bought Milwaukee & DeWalt circular saws. DeWalt impact drivers DeWalt Multi tools, Milwaukee 18v right angle grinder. That's only a start. All on Amazon. Absolutely no problems. I'm very satisfied.
Yep buyer beware. Good one.
When I buy from Amazon I look at 2 things. Sold by and Ships from
What happened to a lot of tool brands? They for whatever reasons were bought out by Stanley- Black & Decker and other companies--this includes Dewalt, Craftsman, Kobalt, others. Quality took a steep dive downward. Craftsman is now pure junk. Sears did a disservice when they ditched Craftsman. Their yard machines aren't worth the aggravation to purchase and hope they will perform. There is way too much junk on the market.
Somewhere in Chy-nah, the guy who thinks up these crazy names is laughing his azz off.
Amazon Basics always looks cheap to me.
Kimo has 3x more reviews than the Avid. Both are rated at 4.4 stars. Maybe you just got a bad one. Personally, I would not buy either one of them.
