Impact Shootout: Festool vs Makita vs DeWalt
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 янв 2021
- Hey everyone! I wanted to test out myself for the first time since I got it my Festool TID18 comparing it to my other regularly used impacts. Sorry, but this is in no way meant to be a highly technical or advanced comparison video. I really just wanted to see how I personally felt each drill acts in my hands for tasks I commonly use an impact for. For a more detailed and technical version I suggest checking out VCG Construction channel. But, as always, take my videos with a grain of salt because I’m just a regular guy who loves tools....and I’m not a professional RUclips tool reviewer!
Take care everyone, stay safe and thanks so much for watching!!!

Those Festool pacts and drills are like driving a Cadillac. Smooth and fun.
I have the TID 18 on the way as part of set with the new TPC 18/4. At $599.00 with 2 of those new 4.0BT batteries, systainer 3 and 2 head attachments it made sense for me. It was time for me to retire my 18v Mikwaukee set. Enjoyed the review. Thanks!
👍🏻👍🏻 thanks
Great video!! I have the XDT08 as well and it’s a great impact. I would 100% recommend the new Makita XDT16. It’s absolutely incredible. Both in power / smoothness & features
Thanks! I’ll look at the new XDT08. Makita makes some great stuff
Makita is a pro grade tool.
I bought the milwaukee 2853 it is a tool for auto work as well.
Bought it for my company as finish carpenter. Use big bulky drill all day driving screws.
The 1/4 impact outclassed the 18 volt Dewalt 1/2 impacr.
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for dubbing the noise mate, good video
I have the little Makita Compact Brushless Impact and what amazes me is how powerful it is given its size and it is just about ergonomically perfect. I was slightly disappointed in the TID18 when it came out, because Festool decided to play in the hyper competitive impact/driver space and frankly didn't really bring anything to the party to justify the cost and exclusivity of the TID18. Unless of course one is committed to the Festool drill/driver battery system. Then it is a good purchase as it fits right in with the other 18v Festool Tools. I am really conflicted between Makita and Festool in this arena. I would really like to try out the Festool drill/driver line but just can't justify it yet given the cost and yet another battery system. Thanks
Great input Grumps! Thanks
I’m starting to lean towards the 12v fuel impact driver. Keepin the big dog around just in case but I did a job with some 12v fuel stuff and i haven’t had my mind blown like that ina longggg time.
That M12 Fuel lineup is no joke.
I have the Dewalt and a Milwaukee too, it works great but for 3" deck screws, but can be to fast sometimes and end up having screw go in to far. I would love to have the Makita XST01Z instead of the XDT08 though.
That’s what the slower speed settings are for
So did you fast forward the driving or not because that dewalt was so quick I couldn’t tell - but the audio dub was so good I was just impressed all around.
I did not, only dubbed down the audio
Impact drivers are one of the tools I over buy on and end up having more than I really need. I don't have any Festool drills or drivers but I ditched the DeWalt 887 for the DeWalt 850 and do like it for its compact size and it's on the work van. The other driver on the work van is the Makita xdt16. Out of the two the xdt16 is my favorite as it's pretty compact and more ergonomic.
At the house I keep both the M12 and the M18 drivers. The M12 is nice and handles most things and the M18 is just a powerhouse of get er done lol.
Cheers! While I don’t have any M18 drivers, I will say I’m really liking the newer M12 install driver. That thing comes in handy all the time! I’m about to make another video about my new found appreciation for Makita, and my less fondness for my Festool drills. (My CXS is still my all time favorite from Festool though). I’ve been building a small camper and had the chance to really use a lot of my impacts…and I found myself going to my Makita’s the most often…..
@@BrianWatersOutdoors that M12 installer kit is one I will likely buy. I do paint and drywall and so removal and reinstalling is common for me with cabinets and shelving. I get by with impacts pretty well but I think the M12 installer would be a well used addition.
I've considered the Festool CXS but I don't have anything of theirs that require a battery, so a one off batt and charger kind of sucks. I do hear good things about it though.
Makita makes comfortable tools that can hold up for the duration. If you watch tool reviews they often focus more on speed, so the Makita gets back handed by them over a second here and a second there. While I do like to be efficient I'm not sweating 60 seconds of my day and I'll take comfort over a few seconds.
When you do replace a driver the xdt16 is worth looking into.
The Makita is your most used baby??? Looks Brand new?? Obviously not using any of those drills on your 'Under construction ' job down the street!?
Some people really take care of there tools
Like for reducing sound of working impacts. :)
I have the newest best makita with all the bells and whistles,it’s so smooth and powerful.. I’m new at the festool crack game😂
May I ask what your opinion on the TIDs noise level is? I saw many comments that it is way to loud and people are sending them back because of it. What are your thoughts?
I have not noticed it being any louder than any of my other impacts. At least not enough difference for me to think “ wow! That’s loud!”
@@BrianWatersOutdoors thank you for replying. I'm happy with your answer because I want to buy it and the noise complain was the only thing stopping me :)
Love watching your review videos, your reviews are more detailed, especially on comfort and noise. You have more detailed reviews than those youtuber who are in pursuit of faster screwing. I hate watching those commenters who are the fastest and most powerful. Not sure what those comments mean. Need a powerful impact drive, I might as well pick up the impact wrench

Thank you 👍🏻
I am SO JEALOUS !! All of the Festool systainers you have has got my mouth watering lol . I'm on the edge of buying the TID 18 but wanted some honest opinions first . Awesome video
Thanks
Thank you! Honest opinion on the TID - I prefer my Makita XDT13 over it. If I were to do it all over again I’d only by the CXS and keep the impacts and hammer drills to Makita or Milwaukee. I just haven’t seen that much of a benefit compared to the price Festool wants for their drills and impacts. This is coming from a FESTOOL junkie too.
@@BrianWatersOutdoors oh ok . Well I appreciate as well as respect your opinion . I have Milwaukee Dewalts and Makita now and honestly like them all. But wanted to possibly get into cordless Festool platform because I have a few Festool corded tools now. Well again thank you and take care.
The Makita might be a lower price tag but I think the Festool is a better value considering you get a systainer included, 3 speed functionality, and higher ah batteries. Do you think you will be trying out the new impact Makita just announced? I don’t know the release date but hopefully soon.
I’ll have to take a look at that new Makita....but, last thing I “need” is another impact!
Is that a workshop or a showroom? That’s the cleanest space I’ve ever seen. Where the hell is the dust?
In one of the DC’s where it should be👍🏻
Is DeWalt's shaft not centered propertly, or am I crazy? I have one, very good quality tool, extremely confortable to my hand, but that thing is not straight. It's wobbling while spinning. And I can see that on every video on YT.
Actually I bought my DCF887 dewalt just tool brand new on craigslist for $75 so price wouldnt evn be comparable. Much more resale on third party sites for Dewalt and Milwaukee.
DeWalt for me. Not necessarily a power thing. They just are the only company that makes absolutely every kind of cordless tool that I need. So I can have one kind of battery to run them all. Also I only use the 60 volt batteries now and I rarely have to change a battery during the work day in each tool. I could care less about the noise, weight, or vibration.
👍🏻👍🏻
The dewalt is definitely a workhorse. I have the M18 surge and love how quiet it is.
I’ve gotta try out those Surges. Everything I’ve heard about those are that they’re great
@@BrianWatersOutdoors They really are. The main reason I bought the surge over others is because of how quiet they are. Little to no vibration too.
the surge is awsome super consistent torque and super quiet
I have the Mil Surge as well, I would call it quieter, not "quiet".
@@rcud1 I didn't think I'd need to specify that since we're referring to impact drivers...
Metabo’s impact is really ergonomic too.
Haven’t gotten my hands on that lineup yet
Nope pretty much all the major brands have somewhat loose battery fit.
Great video! For me its dewalt all day every day! You get value for money, and all day power! Dewalt so far have never let me down. I had makita before and found it just wasn't as good. It kept letting me down on sites. As for festool, too expensive! When you're on site working, time is money so that's why I would choose dewalt. 👍🏼
Festool is way too overpriced. I'm like you Dewalt. It's a good quality item
Same
the same guys that bash makita are the same ones that praise festool ...makes no sense
I work with Dewalt for 13 years and never had anyof my tool broke or stop working. All are strong up to date. Makita feels like a toy compared to Dewalt.
On your comparison.
Festool is expert grade tool as is Hilti
Then your pro grade makita, Milwaukee, Bosch .
I like the Milwaukee 2853 bought earlier is 4 speed trans.
Yet looking at a hilti has 20 year warranty Milwaukee 5 makita 3 festool 3 dewalt is 3 as well Bosch 1 not sure why.
👍🏻
“Out of this world loud”? Dude, wait till you hear Milwaukee and tti impact drivers.
👍🏻👍🏻
It looked like the Festool was set to 2/3 power. Maybe it's just the camera. You should have used the exact same bit in all the drills too.
Makita is by far the best impact on the market, I have the XDT14 and it’s far more powerful than the DeWalt and it will last far longer too.
A few weeks ago I was on a job and let one of the guys putting up the new canopies (Sonic Drive In) borrow my Makita after his Milwaukee battery ran down and almost didn’t get my Makita back, the next day 2 of them had bought new Makita drill/impact combo sets.
Never used Festool so I don’t have an opinion on them.
Makita’s ergonomics and quality are simply the best.
I as well think that Makita makes superior drills/drivers. The M18 platform is just about the only platform I have not tried, but I’m for sure not happy with the direction DeWalt has gone the last few years.
Well, that Makita is certainly not much more powerful, since their higher end impacts are no more powerful than the DeWalt. I recently picked up the Makita TD172D (their newest impact that's currently Japan only) and have driven a zillion screws with my DeWalt 888.
The Makita is very nice, but no more powerful.
Of course, if power is all you care about the Milwaukee Gen 3 is your tool.
@@reginalb124 dtd172 is the best impact out there so far...
на фоне таких гигантов так и хотелось увидеть какой-нибудь ингко
I bought Festool TID just because all my cordless tools are Festool, frankly Idon't. think it's a brilliant tool, just an ordinary imact driver, but to have only one type of battery and charger is a reason for me.
👍🏻👍🏻
DeWalt has a lot of power but the bit holder always fails
👍🏻
Your wife is awesome!
Festool for precision and finesse. Borg brands for brute.
No way
You know you can get a 8Amp to the Tid 18
I can tell you I use dewalt every day, works better but for me doesn't last. I bought the second one and i had the same problem It fails Some time work some time doesn't.
Get a brushed one they last longer than the brushless
Get Milwaukee its all I own for work and they have been through hell and back I’m a welder and they have sat outside in the rain overnight a couple times and dropped while helping scaffolding guys and still work great I’ve had dewalt and my buddy has my main issue was the battery’s we’re garbage since I went red never never looked back
DeWalt all the way 💪
👍🏻
The Festool has a soft start so this is not really a test it should be in..
ruclips.net/video/X0tD1XB4cb4/видео.html
Yoy have a bigger accu on the dewalt makita is stronger with a 5 amp accu
Love the dewalt most men love power 😂
👍🏻
As good as festool is from what i hear its so expensive, one tool from then would bankrupt me
Dewalt sounded the quietest and most powerful
No need to dumb-down the impact sound.. it's part of the analysis. You're not talking during the use of impact, so we're not missing any dialogue.
👍🏻👍🏻
The winner is cheapest
Dewalt and makita, milwaukee etc is pro consumer tools their goal is to impress their customers but they're all good it's just the festool, metabo and hilti shouldn't compared with dewalt or proconsumer tools because festool, hilti, and metabo their goal is to make last longer tools life one time buy tools meaning quality first not the power. Dewalt perfect for those who are standard DIYer festool and other german tool are for professionals High end tools in short like rolls royce performance whereas dewalt is like japanese or american
Dewalt Dewalt Dewalt

"I know you guys think I'm a Festool junkie..."
me: glances over your right shoulder at the 40+ Systainers...
:)
More of a Systainer junkie I suppose👍🏻
vgc is a joke. we need our boy at toolfarm.
I will fully agree to that now👍🏻
festool is overpriced and mediocre in everything they make
For sure on the drills and drivers. Once the patent runs out we are going to see some good competition for the Domino finally
@@BrianWatersOutdoors any idea of when this is likely?
Festool are garbage
Good to know👍🏻
Festool Is garbage ? You must not use your tools to make a living !
you must like harbor freight
Festool are great and don’t die
People like u shop for generic crap 💩
