  • Battle of the titans, Milwaukee vs Dewalt! In this video, we have their flagship hammer drills, the DCD999 Flexvolt Advantage Hammer Drill for DeWalt, and the M18 Fuel 2904-20 for Milwaukee Tool!
    We run these tools through various application tests, including a practical soft torque test, two variations of wood drilling using a spade bit and a 2 9/16" self feed bit, and concrete drilling in a controlled 4000 PSI block of concrete.
    After testing and sharing our results, you'll get the lowdown on the specifications, features, prices, and all the other key information you need to know before making the call on which of these drills is for you!
    So, who you got? Team Milwaukee vs Team DeWalt!

    After having used Dewalt for the past 15 years, I just made the switch to Milwaukee. I’m a welder/fabricator, and came from HVAC roots. The need for more powerful tools is growing for me in my industry, and a coworker swears by Milwaukee. After seeing his tools’ performance time and time again? I jumped ship to team Milwaukee. Just bought the impact/hammer set with a FREE 8.0AH XC High Capacity battery at Home Depot yesterday for the Labor Day sale. I’m in LOVE 😍

      @@InuranusBrokoff I run Milwaukee and Dewalt brands tools as well with some Makita power tools. Personally for me, Dewalt is the best overall because of the kits. Milwaukee has some tools that deliver more performance for certain tasks but in the real world when you’re either getting paid by the day or the hour, it hardly matters. What’s important is having batteries. Which is why I have a few adapters with me to use my Dewalt batteries on Milwaukee and Makita power tools.

    I’m a commercial electrician, most contractors buy dewalt 20v line. Battery tools are great, makes any job easy. Also they take a beating on the job sites and keep on working. I have no experience with Milwaukee but most plumbers and elevator contractors use them and they all like. Both brands are great, it’s whatever you want to buy, but can’t go wrong with either lineup.

      I started buying DeWalt about 30 years ago. They were the best back then (18v), and have served me well. Once I got committed to all those batteries, I never had a reason to change. That transitioned to the 20v systems when the 18v's started giving out after 25-years. My boys are in the trades and they all went with Milwaukee. Nothing wrong with that, since they are just starting out and didn't have anything invested in batteries yet. I must confess, I did retire my DeWalt ToughSystem boxes after I saw the boys' Milwaukee Packout system. There were a bunch of things I didn't like about my ToughSystem, like the tabs to lock them together (very hard to unhook tabs, and tabs breaking from putting them in & out of my pickup bed), and the latches that were falling apart. The Packout is by far a highly superior system, with lots of options available. Looks kinda funny when you open it up and see all that yellow & black in there! 😆

    Good video, but you left out a very important detail that puts Milwaukee way ahead of most power tool competitors. That would be their no BS warranty. 5 years on their tools (most of them anyway) and 3 years on their batteries. Bought my Gen 3 hammer/ drill bout 3 years ago. It got quite a bit of use over those years. The other week, it started acting up on me, the motor would rev up and down with the trigger completely pulled. To be transparent, I bought the gen 3 as a refurb. I am fortunate to live in a city with a Milwaukee service center about 15 minutes away. Dropped it off there, and within a week, they gave me a brand new Gen 4! I’ve also had to get several batteries replaced as well M18 8.0 & 5.0, as well as a M12 6.0. No hassle at all. With DeWalt, one gets a 3 year warranty on their power tools AND you have to ship it off to their service center at the your expense. Uh, no thanks, not with these current shipping prices, certified mail, insurance, etc.
    I ain’t baggin’ on DeWalt. I prefer their saws (table & miter & planer) over Milwaukee. They have better capabilities and typically require little to no adjustments out of the box.

    My advice is that consumers should try out as many different brands as possible and decide, for themselves, what works best for their needs.
    Ergonomics should also be considered when choosing a brand, because the average person will want to use the brand that is the most comfortable for them.
    Milwaukee and Flex were the least comfortable for me to use on a regular basis.

      First, the 999 is way more powerful than the 996 that it has replaced. The big body definitely allows for a bigger fan to prevent overheating.
      Second, the gen 4 Milwaukee has several more safety features than the gen 3, including better communication to help the endurance of the tool.
      It’s also slightly larger than the gen 3, which allows for better heat dispersion.

      The other thing I’ve noticed about the Dewalt compact drills is that they are more inconsistent in terms of performance compared with their bigger drills.

    Before I became "'Consumable Tool Purchaser"' 15 years ago, our machine shop was outfitted with a hodgepodge of various corded and cordless power tools. I'd had history with Milwaukee, who REALLY take care of their customers after the sale. One sad little DeWalt drill caught my attention with its chuck runout. You could actually flex the chuck's mounting arbor by hand. I christened it, "DeWobble"'.
    Long story short, the entire shop is now flooded with Milwaukee tools of every kind, corded and uncorded. Only complaint is, the battery cases crack & break after being dropped a few times. Otherwise (knock wood), they last & last, with never a complaint about their performance.
    Now that Milwaukee batteries are charged ad charging in every corner, the chances of any other company getting in, are slim.

    Just a suggestion, a more fair comparison would be using the Milwaukee hammer drill with their new 6.0 Forge battery. The Forge battery improves the overall performance of Milwaukee tools by approximately 10% - 15%. This new battery also can be charged from 0% -80% in 15 minutes. I think using the Forge battery, which outputs the same power as the old 12.0 battery, would be a more apples to apples comparison.

    -- Without watching. DeWalt and Milwaukee go back and forth, and some of their tools are better than others. Hard to go wrong. I run all DeWalt. My brother runs all Milwaukee. We're both satisfied with each other's tools. And I've been running DeWalt since the late 90's. They were good back then too. My my barn is yellowjacket, as is my workshop inside.
    I find the DeWalt units run a bit cooler. Especially the chainsaws. In that instance Milwaukee edges out DeWalt in performance (chainsaw) but overheats and shuts down faster.
    My experience with both tool sets. The DeWalt tools just last longer/don't wear out as fast. Still rocking my same drill, let the kids use it, get's used 5-6 days a week, more than my brother's Milwaukee, and he's had to swap to a new one.

    A criticism about this comparison is that the comparison doesn't show the top power of both drills using the most powerful batteries avaible. The Dewalt has a 9AH and a 12AH battery. How would Dewalt's torque using those batteries compare with the Milwaukee? We want to see which is capable of the most torque possible. This comparison doesn't do that.

    i want more .i want to see them used with more batteries . i expect to see the powerstack and forge in these tools compared . hoping for some fun comparisons . i generally choose the milwaukee due to its size . i 'think' dewalt has a new model coming out due to a picture i saw earlier in the year . waiting to see if they create a driver that really uses the voltage of the biggest batteries .

    Dewalt, 3 speed and lasts way longer.
    I was at a junkyard the other day and there was a whole pile of Milwaukee tools and batteries that are like 5 years old or newer because you cant buy parts, they crank too much power and eat themselves.
    Meanwhile for dewalt there was a DCD996 that looked like it went through vietnam twice and got ran over by a D4, a few nicad batteries from like 2004 and 3 of the shitty brushed drills.
    Also here in canada dewalt is cheaper by like 80$ for everything pretty much and people that run Milwaukee tend to be absolute assholes and dewalt is just old dudes that build sheds

      I had a gen 4 Milwaukee hammer drill that I returned the day after I bought it because the motor made a terrible noise and the chuck was defective. I noticed that there was an odd mark made with a sharpie on the top where the clutch setting lines up with the indicator mark. The TTI rep even said that shouldn’t have made its way into a store.
      Having said that I also got a Flex Thursday with a defective chuck that I have to return.

    I have the 2904, 998 and XPH14. All are almost identical in performance. I prefer the Makita. Although it might have a little less power it is hard to tell practically. It's more reliable (especially when compared to Milwaukee's damn trigger) and has far better ergonomics. Next I would place the Dewalt.

Every hammer drill is loud, but DeWalt will make your ears bleed. I'm a commercial electrician, if I need to drill holes for tapcons or Sammys, I ain't using a hammer drill, that's what an SDS is for.

    I have absolutely no favorite brand, but I’m trying to decide on a good hammer drill, impact driver combo.
    I got the Flex combo Thursday, but the drill chuck is defective. Since that particular kit is no longer a stock item, I doubt that I’ll be able to exchange it.
    Something about the ergonomics of the gen 4 Milwaukee drill irritates the tendinitis in my right elbow, so I have to rule that one out.
    I’m trying to decide between the new Ridgid combo, because of the Black Friday deal, and just pairing a DCD999 with a DCF845.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

      Avoid Rigid. Best tool brands are DeWalt, Milwaukee and Makita. Pick a battery platform, and stick with that brand. If you are really bent on going lower grade, prosumer level, Kobalt is good to standardize on. If you really want to go low cost, Hercules at Harbor Freight is the pick there.

      I am debating on the Dewalt 998 or 999, though, because I don’t like the ergonomics of Milwaukee.
      If I go with Dewalt, I’ll get the 845 as my choice of impact driver.

      @@Protoolreviews Yeah, let me clarify that. I mostly work with Douglas fir 2x4’s and 4x4’s, so I don’t absolutely need a hammer drill.
      I need enough power to be able to use a decent sized spade or bore bit. It seems like the only drills in that category are hammer drills, so that’s why I said hammer drill.
      I currently have a Dewalt DCD777 and DCF787, so I can build on the 20v platform. I will keep using the 777 for lighter tasks, but I definitely want to replace the 787 with something that has better performance.
      I also have a couple of 18v Ridgid tools, so I can also build on that.
      The DCD998 and 999 seem to have great power to weight ratio, so I was thinking about pairing one of those with a DCF845.
      The new Ridgid combo that is part of the Black Friday sale also seems to be a solid choice, especially with the LSA.
      I’m not opposed to starting a third platform, though, if necessary. I don’t work in the trades, so I don’t need to limit platforms like trades people do.
