This exact impact wrench brushless version is on eBay for under $40. Ave did a teardown and was very impressed for the price. I have that same Makita impact wrench tho and it is awesome. Haven't came across a bolt it couldn't bust loose yet
Awesome creative intro also congrats on the 5k subs your hard work will continue to pay off and yes not bad for the generic impact considering the rpm idiffrence was about 1000 less. thanks for the video
Interesting showdown i don´t think i have ever seen a tool review with a vibration test before. Free tools is not a sellout if you are honest btw. I wonder how the build quality is on that knockoff? The plastic looks shinier, maby less fiberglass?
Actually the build quality is surprisingly good. But, I think the black rubber is a bit harder than what Makita used, so probably a lower grade there. As far as the teal material, you might be right, might not be standard PA6.
It's great seeing you use devices to measure RPMs /vibration and temperature. That's usually something you only see on multi hundred thousand of views channels so seeing all the data you get from watching your videos, I really enjoy watching them and look forward to new ones. Congrats on 5K ;got there pretty fast not as fast as the guys from torque test channel but you'll be there soon, I see it, you'll be at 100k soon
GRATS on the 5k! Personally, the whole "I'm a better tool reviewer because I don't take free tools" has never made sense to me. Either you're a trustworthy reviewer with a decent moral code, or you're not. Accepting a tool for review purposes doesn't change that. I've seen reviewers do unethical things. First hand. And it wasn't a free review unit that caused it. This community NEEDS great tool reviews. Accept review tools. Give us an honest and great review. Use the money you save to improve your channel. And every time some idiot calls you a shill, a sellout, or says they hate you or your channel, immediately shadow ban, and go back to making amazing content for those of us who love it. Stop wasting time on broken people who come to RUclips Comments to leave destructive self-righteous messages that only bring down our community of amazing tool fans. Thanks for another fun review Jim!
It was nice that Philly Fixed compared the speed at which the wrenches drove tapping screws into wood, and that would give us a good estimate of their power, and comparative power, but probably the main use of these kinds of tools is to remove lug nuts on tires, is it not? I would use mine for both motor vehicle work and carpentry work, cabinet making too.. But I ask: do you rotate your tires yourself? I do. Do you want to have a cheap tool to bring along with you in your car in case you get a flat tire, so you don't have to rely on the ridiculous lug wrench that comes with the car? Would you prefer a power tool for that, to a tool set consisting of a decent quality 1/2 inch drive breaker bar, a short extension for it, and a socket to fit your car's lug nuts? I would want both -..the power tool to get the job done quickly, and the hand tools to have on hand as a backup system. Although I should mention that Makita makes a battery charger for their 18 volt batteries that runs off of a car's 12-volt system. And the genuine Makita would have been too expensive an investment for me, I think, if it was for doing just these 2 jobs, doing tire rotations twice a year and putting on a spare tires once every few years. But the fake Makita might have been worth spending a few dollars on, even if I wanted to buy only genuine Makita batteries and buy a genuine Makita battery charger. What I would have liked to know is very simple: what is *the current draw of each impact wrench.* Knowing the ampere-hour rating of the battery is important, but knowing the current draw of each tool, in addition, would be just as important; it would enable me to estimate how long I could run the tool before I needed to recharge the battery. By the way I would not want to rely on an aftermarket battery. They just about always are mislabeled as to their ampere-hours. A 5 ampere-hour Makita battery is going to hold fairly close to 5 ampere-hours of energy each time it is fully charged. An aftermarket battery labeled as holding 5 ampere-hours of energy is likely to really accept only 2.5 ampere-hours - and so given the same job, and the same wrench, the aftermarket battery, despite having the same rating, is likely to keep doing that job for only half the amount of time as the Makita battery. *I would want to use only Makita batteries.* There are other problems with aftermarket batteries too. And then I would want to know: *how many tires could I change using a freshly charged, Makita-branded, 2 ampere-hour battery - using that battery with the Makita wrench, and using it with the knockoff wrench - before I had to recharge?* Efficiency of s tool is important. Burning more gasoline does not necessarily necessarily equate to driving further. Drawing more power from a battery does not necessarily equate to changing more tires with it. I would want to use a genuine Makita battery charger too. But for rotating tires and for changing tires quickly on the road - I might want to have the fake Makita impact wrench I would add that for small people without a lot of muscle, a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench and an impact socket might be just the thing to have in your car in addition to a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar and socket. Cultural values change with time. When I was a youngster, there would not likely be a petite woman putting 4 new tires on my car; 50 years later, and this is no-longer unlikely. The proliferation of powerful, lightweight, power tools might perhaps be one of the things that may have had influenced this change.
I've Been waiting for this one review forever! Looking forward to more of the fakeita reviews,been looking at them for awhile now; the grinder and hammer drill mostly and for brushless motors and to be close Makita clones the price seems real good if you don't use them daily.
Honestly, I'm probably not the best channel for that because I don't have a good nut and bolt testing rig (yet). It's something I'd like to do, but it will be a while. In the meantime, Torque Test Channel has a ton of data and rankings.
@@micjubba709 I have SDS hammer drill that uses makita batteries, but it just looks like some sort of makita amalgamation. Although I am not using it every day, but sometimes I have to do deep 12mm holes for mounting points for shelves in concrete and well it still works. It came to me with broken off deepness guage on the grip so chineese seller paid me 30 dollars discount via paypal. Guage is not end of the world, drill still perfectly usable and I can just mark the drill bit, works the same. 50 bucks, battery and charger. It is bit weaker than 230V proper hammer drill but hey... I can wait 5 seconds more it really won't kill me if I do. I also should have added that I didn't use cells in the battery that it was equipped I disassembled battery and I did put in 10 industrial LG's 18650s 30A continuous 5s2p pack. I wouldn't use it for large holes in concrete it doesn't have that much power, but for home user you really get a good deal.
@Philly Fixed Regarding the PayPal fiasco, was the money cash in your PP account, bank account, credit card or ? There was no place to comment on the post...Thanks
You have to click/tap the little speech bubble below the image on community posts to show comments. So, it was a direct ACH withdrawal from my checking account. Needless to say... I disconnected my checking account from PayPal. Back in the day, you were required to connect a checking account, but not anymore. I have to wait for the transactions to post and then I'll be able to dispute them with my bank. Unacceptable on PayPal's part.
@@PhillyFixed Thanks for all the information...I'm off to check mine... They may have fiddled with the withdrawal amount (tried more than one withdrawal amount) to see what they could get especially the second time around...just a thought.
Dude, I got the mid torque Makita XWT17 and it wasn't as good as my octane Ridgid. And it's rated 100ft lbs higher. The one you have is half of the Ridgid. Put it up against impact drivers
The XWT17 benches a lot better than a Ridgid Octane mid-torque, lol. It's the strongest mid on the market. Ridgid can't even beat Ryobi P262 on TTC. Why would it beat Makita or Milwaukee. lol.
@@jaywelker5566 let me guess, you are basing that on the hydrologic rig they use.... That's not real world. Trust me, it's not as good as they say and it's huge and awkward
Awe man I got an email from banggood and just deleted it. It’s said something about sponsoring in the comments. I assumed it was a umm, adult. Something. Who knew I could have got some knock off tools. I’m a little disappointed now
'Fakita'...? Everyone knows it's pronounced 'cousin Eddy'. ;) I've got one, and for the price it's a fantastic tool. Just don't expect much beyond 150 Nm. (Edit: I accidentally said 'uncle').
Amazon wont allow the selling of fake tools that use Makita battery. Aliexpress, Alibaba have tons of mini 4inch chainsaw that takes Makita battery. Head to amazon and you can only find a handful at best. rest use proprietary batteries. I bought one of those mini chainsaws and opened it up. The battery holder is separate piece from the saw handle. They can put on a battery mount that accepts makita battery or generic battery on the exact same saw. Yours may be the same.
@@1marcelfilms Actually they emailed me and asked if I wanted to pick a couple of tools from their site to review. I also have a knockoff of the Makita XSH03z circ saw from them that I still have to test. Most tool channels get lots of no-name foreign companies emailing them; I decline most of those requests.
If someone is going to cheap out and buy the "Fake" tool then they will be buying a fake battery also not a known branded battery. So Why not test the fake tool with the battery it's supposed to have?
The channel just hit 5,000 subs! Thanks all for your support and keep an eye out for a special event to celebrate coming soon!

Nice work on checking vibration @5:50
Should have test vibration on the batteries cos makita have that design where vibration wouldn't affect the batteries
You get a thumbs up just because of the Tshirt!
Can you make please a detailed review between all impact wrenches from the major brands?
