It's not a man Caver tools video without a mess up. I accidentally switched the 6ah and 4 ah footage on the 6in by 3/8 lag (OUT). My Bad, but it doesn't change the results of the HO battery or the video.
hadn't touched my M12 impact driver in a year...got this one and used it all weekend. Already sold the Gen 2. HUGE upgrade.
Good channel, underrated from what I've seen so far.
Awesome comparisons! Definitely a noticable difference between the amp hours, the new high output 5.0 comes out on top for sure, especially the high demand purposes! Great stuff! 👍🏼🛠️
Good video. I like your older style videos better than the newer style. Might just be because I have watched so many of the older videos that's what I am used to. Keep up the good work
I thank you Clint. the older is a lot easier to do with my schedule.
Agree with going back to the older style of your videos.
Hey Dave, I have the brushed M12 recip saw and it does come in handy here and there as it's tiny and not super powerful, but small and easy to use on something small, then I have the M18 full recip when I need the power. But your video here did prove the benefit of having the chainsaw for limbing instead of the brushless recip you have here, and I have that mini chainsaw too and it's so worth it. Thanks for the video, I think I'll look to get one of these when I am able.
I thank you kart and I am glad that your that I was able to help you out :)
That HO 5ah will make my M12 baby chainsaw w/ 8” bar/chain setup work that much mo better! Lol Great video Dave!
I use the m12 cut off tool on metal side walls. Cant wait to get the ho
The 5.0 is going to be $99 at the Depot for the Christmas season sale.
Alright I’m sold on the 5ah high output battery, it’s definitely what I’ll be getting
Great testing, thanks for the video. Happy Halloween!
Late mark, but i appreciate!! You may have revived my m12 stubby wrench on my vw wheel, the old 4ah was useless for the 140 ft/lb torque!!
I’m gonna have to get one now and see if it bumps up the blowing power of my M12 compact spot blower.
2:34 when that saw started to tip I got nervous for ya. Thought it was about to hit the deck lol
“Baby chainsaw”, wonder where we have heard that before??? LOL
Out of all the videos out there. This one convinced me to get the 5.0
I am glad I can help :) that is why this channel is here
The finish of the new M12 5amp batteries is a matte black. I like it as well.
Thanks for this bro. Im going to get the HO 5
you are welcome
I believe you do a great job with the content you upload however I do prefer your older style videos, you could leave the voice overs for quick reviews or maybe shorts. I'm glad you're bringing your older filming style back.
Thank you!
I’d like to see that HO battery on the M12 Surge please!
Love the video good work man
I thank you Patrick
They all get the job done 👍. With no Cooper Rush!
Wow. I really need this battery in my life
it wouldn't be a bad idea
For your videos, narrating during the test is fine. Just do VoiceOvers if you have to, like if there is too much noise, like a neighbor mowing, etc.
I'd like to see a comparison in the m12 circular saw.
Will you provide links to the tools used in this video?
Honestly I have been waiting for you to go buy this battery and the 2.5. I thought if it was worth it it'd show up with the saws. I would love to see a circ saw showdown
I did do a video on that 2.5 ah
i'll be honest, I got the 2.5 HO when it was available at Home Depot and I was not impressed. But the results convince me... its time to get it!
the 5ah is totally worth it
Cool Dave 😎
I thank you Jamal
That one handed recip doesn’t have the throw for fewer tooth blades. I use it all the time
The biggest I difference in the m12 performance when is when it's about two bars left on a 2.0 ah
Yes
I would like to see a comparison of the M12 High Output 5.0 vs the regular 6.0 when installed in the M12 Fan. Curious to see which one lasts longer before dying.
Yah what do you think lasts longer?
@@2hotscottpro I ended up purchasing the High Output 5.0. I did a test. I ran the fan on high with the fully charged HO 5.0 battery and it lasted right at 4 hours. I believe that's about what you would get from a 6.0 regular battery.
Anyone have details on the Hilti bits that he's using in the impact?
I like the old way for videos better as well bro that's what got you where you are
that is what why I'm doing these videos again. they are easier to film and edit as well
It definitely has more output but I'm not sure I think it's worth their full price at $120. You can get two new 'open box' 6.0s for $88 or two new in box 6.0s for $108 on eBay. Can't beat that.
It is to me, because the HO battery allows me to keep using an M12 drill...Having M12 and M18 is as bad as running 2 different brands.
@@procrastinator1842 I understand the utility, I just look at the M18 3.0 HO batteries where you can get 2 packs for $120 and I'm forced to wonder how an M12 5.0 with smaller and less cells somehow comes in at the same price.
@@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter I agree they are overpriced considering there is no electronics inside the battery cases. To be honest, pure $$$ is not the driving factor for me. I carry these tools around every day to make my living. To me, portability convenience and light weight is #1.
Hey. From Denmark. Iff they made A Japanese style blade ( Saw ) It just might brake the sppd limit :).
Been on several platforms yet to see a dewalt die killed several compact cryobis n 2 4ah but it took years o wore several ni cads to death, but never killed one quickly but killed a milwaukee 12v 6ah in less than 6 months
would the multi tool take advantage of the 5ah HO battery? I have one coming in, but i'm still thinking on returning if the power on the HO isn't needed
The 5ah HO battery is my go to with m12 tools.
they use samsung 25s cells for this battery and they are awesome, but not the best there are. If they wanted to make the ultimate battery, it would be HO 4ah with samsung 20S cells. They are 2ah, although they give way more usable energy out compared to old 2ah cells and very close to most 2.5ah cells. And they are almost 20-30% stronger, they can handle 40A.
I built a 2.0 CP pack with 3x 20S cells. I haven't made any measurements but it appears to hit slightly harder than the 6.0, and clearly trumps the 4.0.
I also bought a 9 cell battery shell and filled it with 9x Molicel P26 cells. Amazing power, you can really lean on the tools and they don't cut out. The battery stays cold even at full load with the SDS drill with a 20+mm bit. No fading of power until it's basically dead flat.
@@procrastinator1842 yeah 20s are best 18650's and p26 and 28 are most powerful in "2.5ah" range, great choice! I used 20s to make makita 40v packs and also have some 30T's for bigger cases once they arrive :)
@@riba2233 For sure the 20S is incredible. 40A from an 18650!
I decided to use the P26 is a 3s3p configuration because 90+A is well and truly sufficient...20S cells aren't necessary for that, more capacity was the goal. Although I matched the cells and found the capacity of the Molicels a lot less consistent than the Samsung ones.
I have a couple of the new M12 Fuel gen 3 drills coming in the mail from the USA...Can't wait to do torque tests with my custom 2.0 and 8.0 packs. More importantly I'm hoping that I can use 1" self feeding spade bits without constant cutting out. Drives me nuts but I'm too stubborn to switch h to M18 😂
This high output battery should've been out years ago. Ryobi even had hp batteries while Milwaukee was still running regular batteries. I guess they we're waiting for these new pipeline tools to come out. Hey Dave even though the new M12 hammer drill is more compact but has lower rmps and bpms does it still perform better than the gen 2 hammer drill. Would you recommend the gen 3 over the gen 2 . I know sometimes numbers are deceiving
the hammer feature on the gen 2 is better but the new hammer drill has more torque
@@ManCaverTools because it has more torque will it drill concrete better even though the boms are less
cells they use are from 2018 so yeah they could have made it earlier
Nice vid
I thank you Sutherland
Good video. It provides more power but what does this bateries do to the ware and tare of your tools? I mean more power on a tools that was designed for less power. That would be a good video.
I haven't noticed that. a tough task will definitely effect a tool but I dont think the batteries will too much
Just swamped my dead 6ah for a 5 HO today at HD.They didn’t have a 6 so I said I’d settle for a 5 😅
Battery performance in hard use applications is no longer my main concern. What i want to know is will the battery continue to work past a mere 10 charge cycles without one or more of the cells dying rendering the battery worthless....
Im down 2 of my 6.0ah bats right now. Not thrilled.
I experienced the same thing with the new 6ah HP Ryobi batteries. used it twice and it died. I did a video on that. but quality control with TTI seems to be down
@@ManCaverTools i bought a flex 6 1/2 inline cir saw a few weeks ago. It was a kit with saw charger and 1x 5ah battery.
Everything in the kit was good. Well today i pickup up a second 5.0ah battery from lowes...got it home and opened the package to find black gooo all over the battery. I googled it and its battery acid!
I went back to lowes and got a replecement. This one seems ok.
Now I'm kinda thinking that maybe all brands are shyte now. I think they are all making their garbage to cheaply.
It looks like a loose/loose situation to me. I give up.....
@@unclefester4626 id return that battery immediately, Quality control is slacking for most brands. you will be surprised how many people comment complaints about their brand new tool
@@ManCaverTools i did. Lowes was good about taking it back. I thought it was a little bit funny when they broke out the gloves and their haz mat kit. They put it a special bag and poured a box of baking soda in it. I think they've been through this before?🤔😁
I went over to get a replacement from the locked case. The girl let me check every remaining battery 4x. They were all dry...no black acid goo in them. I bought one and went on my way. To me the whole thing seem weird. None of the failed milwaukee batts ever leaked.
While i was there i ran into the guy who worked that department but was off for the weekend. I told him about the milwaukees. He said if they don't warranty them that interstate batteries or batteries plus can rebild them with new cells that are leaps and bounds better that what most manufacturers put in them. Might go that route if i have to.
WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE
please do a video on 3.0 cp vs 2.5 cp battery
I can do that
Man Caver Tools
How's those Flex gloves holding up.
I put them through the ropes this summer. I got a little hole in the index finger now. they lasted a lot longer than the Milwaukee gloves did
To buy one of these new 5.0 HO batteries to replace 4.0 or 6.0 is not a good ROI to save seconds at a time. I think you save more seconds removing the new HO battery from tool though lol.
there is no reason to buy it to replace a battery. if additional batteries are needed the new 5ah HO battery is a good option
For me the 4.0 and 6.0 have plenty of power. If I need power I will just take my M18 tools with HO batteries.
I think they should have put these in the new kits
The music was annoying. But good review
My God that chain zsaw is gonna catch some 🖕 (one finger left) ;)
my fingers are fine lol
@@ManCaverTools lolz it’s seems sketch but then is saw that square opening that you put your hand into
If you're going to keep doing tools like this you have to be like the others and have a really good test bench.
indeed
What’s kind of bothersome is you wearing youuFlex gloves in a Milwaukee test video.
You don’t push on a chainsaw lol
wrong - if a _reciprocating saw_ vibrates the saw horse like crazy, it means the foot is not in contact with the workpiece... and it is clearly visible in the video that you're not using it properly with the foot in contact.
4:48 When you date a girl on a high-protein diet
lol
That m12 hatchet sucks! So glad I got an m18 hatchet.
The level of disrespect on this vid......
Reviewing milwaukee products wearing flex gloves.... Uhmmm!!!!!😅
Good video tho 👍
I mean, I guess this *_$100+_* battery is worth it if you're trying to make your m12 tools do 18v jobs...
There are also 9 cell cases available - thats another 50% more power.
That's an interesting result, the guys over at the Torque Test Channel tested the same and found there to be little difference between the new 5Ah and the old 6Ah, I suppose in a tool like an impact it might not necessarily spin the motor faster, but in high demand situations the new cells seem to be able to give more juice 🧃🤔
for certain tools the battery really does come in handy
