There's nothing out there that influences my hardware store dollar as much as PROJECT FARM. I trust you more than Underwriters Laboratory.
UL, consumer reports, etc mean nothing. I want a project farm stamp.
Thanks so much!
@@ProjectFarm Looking to buy one of those hand held drill style cordless inflators. Have you tested those yet. Very handy.
I was literally standing in home depot watching his videos on cut off disks a couple weeks ago and someone asked me what I was watching... I replied "the truth"
Ditto..... Hands Down my go to in Tool $$money Purchases!
This man is singlehandedly keeping every company on their toes
Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectFarm Ryobi called, said you’ve been mispronouncing “Ryobi” and that their name is pronounced “ree-oh-bee”.
I couldn't agree more!
Every company except Binford, which he still won't test... I think Tim Allen needs to intervene here.
Haha! 😂
I always get teary when he says goodbye with a "please take care", one of the few content creators I watch that has good wishes for the viewers.
Thanks for the nice comment!
ikr. most other content creators just wish us endless suffering and unimaginable grief.
Great video as always. I love when you test the "junk" named products.
It's fun just to see how bad they can be, or how surprisingly good some might be.
This is why I keep watching your videos:
* You don’t ask to like and subscribe before you show us anything.
* No wasted footage wasting my time.
* Your content is consistent. You always remove the human element and stay away from subjective comments.
* Your applications relate to your audience and make an economic impact to us.
*Your videos are fun. I still say cousin Eddie spends his time at the club when not in your videos with that Makita chick...
Thank you!
You are welcome!
agree
true
Yeah, it's true good quality content, no gimmicks or anything
Absolutely correct on "no wasted footage or time." He says "this is what we're testing" and you have the first test results within 30 seconds.
Easily the hardest working reviewer on RUclips - the lengths you go to test stuff is mind blowing! Honest, fair and absolutely comprehensive. Respect to you, Sir!
Thanks! 👍
Sounds like a horse or greyhound racing commentary.
One of the best RUclips channels, love the detail he goes into, keep using metric for us non Americans. Brilliant that this channel doesn't keep asking me to subscribe and he purchased all materials himself, never sell out to the corporations only way to get a fair comparison. Need to buy new masonry bits checked this video as I am sitting outside a hardware shop in tipperary Ireland, I think I'll get the Irvine
Thanks so much!
I don’t even use 90% of the types of tools you review, but for some reason I still love your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
Finally! Been drilling this same concrete hole for 3 years.
lol. Nice!
I am also married.
J Fendrick nice lol 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@jakefendrick7555 is your drill bit still working?
@J Fendrick what the heck is that supposed to mean.
This guy is a beast... love it when he says “we’re gonna test that” and when he breaks out the Farm-a-bago !!
Thanks!
It confirms in my mind that the Irwin is one of the better performing brands for its price. Been using these and now happier than ever to keep doing so. Thx.
Thanks for sharing.
That’s what I’ve been thinking. Out of all of these videos Irwin maintains a solid lead in terms of quality/value.
Ive been buying Irwin with a lot more confidence after using their speedbor auger bits and seeing videos like these where Irwin keeps up with Milwaukee and Diablo
When it comes to masonry and wood drills Irwin has always been solid for my applications
Looks like I get to drill 3 or 4 holes per bit on old concrete. Is that normal? Do these better brands hold up to drill more holes?
I can’t stop watching your videos, the level of detail is awesome! Would you consider making a video comparing entry/diy level laser levels?
Thanks so much! Thanks for the suggestion.
Yet another hight quality video from PF.. never disappoints
Thank you very much!
Amen!
Yup no short quality here!
Make a video about battery angle grinder brands please
Wrong, I got two disappoints. Dewalt, and Makita.
Unbiased, zero clickbait, and very sophisticated, somewhat scientific, but also real-world testing. I really appreciate your videos, you rock! Greets all the way from Austria!
Thanks so much!
Amazing for me 🙂
another austrian here, nice:)
Austrian frens, send some Alpen drill bits to him for the next test, seeing holes made with chinese stuff gets boring! 😏
This has admittedly been one of the best videos I've seen on these drill bits. Straight to the point, and with full facts with pictures of the wear. Fantastic.
Thanks so much!
Excellent video - a must see for anyone looking to buy tools. Straightforward, scientific, the chips fall where they may.
I was looking for masonry bits and this video helped a great deal. I was looking at getting a new table saw blade and was seeing all types of 10" blades from 10.00 to over 100.00. A video testing table saw blades would be awesome! I haven't seen any that are as thorough as your videos. Thanks for the content you provide.
Thanks for the video idea.
I just watched 14 minutes of drilling in concrete😆. This is how good these videos are 👍😁
Wow, thanks!
@@ProjectFarm please test different grade/compositions of twist drill bits ie m7 high moly vs m35 cobalt vs m42 cobalt vs niobium
Dude,...14 mins...? I even compared process for these bits at Home Depot! :)
This is the only test-show that actually give you the answers you want, and with entertainment as a bonus.
For real, I once watched someone else testing vacuum cleaners . It was one of the most rigged tests I've ever seen the vacuum that should have been a contender for the top spot was tested in a low power mode with the hard floor attachment being used on carpet.....
Thanks!
I love these videos! As many others have said, I watch these to really see what tooling to buy, for myself. At work I get what my boss tells me but thankfully, as he's a former commercial sparky, he loves diablo and they really have served me well! I have a 1/4" diablo bit that's gone through foundation poured in 54 many many times
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
You do an amazing job in your research/trials. Very thorough and competent testing is needed to be valid and you go the extra mile. Thanks!
You are welcome!
122k views later the Irwin set shoots up to $28 on Amazon....lol... I still admire your work sir! Thank you for the time and effort you put into each one of your videos! It's greatly appreciated!
I appreciate that!
Man PF, not only are your videos interesting, you help many many people ensure they make better choices with their money and help them do their job better too. 8 minutes since posting and over 100 comments should show you how much people value what you do.
Thanks for the nice comment!
As I've mentioned in other videos you've uploaded, my wife and I recently bought a house - brick with concrete basement walls. Even the interior upstairs walls are stucco on wire mesh on drywall. Hence, I quickly realized that an impact driver was going to be my best friend. After a few fails and re-buys of bits, I've found that milwaukee and diablo both became my go-to. They're not only fast, but I've been able to keep using the same bit for hole after hole without worrying about dulling. They're more expensive, yeah, but I get more durability from them.
Thanks again for uploading!
I will say this as a professional fabricator, Milwaukee metal drill bits are great but they don't last almost at all. Not worth it,
@@jonathangarzon2798 As a professional fabricator which metal drill bits do you recommend.?
@@JosephSmith72 what are you drilling through?
Mostly aluminum?
Mostly Csteel?
if both what ratio?
Wood, metal and concrete are the 3 most common types of material I seem to drill through.@@jonathangarzon2798
Glad I found your channel sir. Honest, good quality reviews, thanks 👍
Welcome aboard!
This channel may be the most environmentally friendly channel on RUclips. If people knew which to buy and not to buy would equal massive amounts of less waste. Your channel is better than we know!
And the losing brands quiver in shame and hope to improve themselves lol
So I've been part-timing at Lowes here in Texas and after this snow storm, everyone was raving about PEX pipe. I don't know how how you feel about explosions but a challenge between PVC, CPVC, PEX and that grey PVC or whatever it is, would be nice. Or SharkBites compared to other brands. Maybe even the glues? A simple hydraulic press rig would help you blow up some pipe, I'm thinking.
Interesting... good idea
Great video idea! Thank you
I would like to see that also
AvE did a pretty great video on pex using a grease gun and hydraulic pressure gauge
Alot of talk about pex and using pvc for shop airlines
Another amazing video! These tests just get better and better! Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
Needed masonry bits and thought... before buying I have to check The Farm Project. Was not disappointed! Thanks for all the awesome work.
You are welcome!
I've always found Irwin bits to be the best bang for the buck and once again you have confirmed that for me. When I need to tackle a project and aren't sure which product to use I turn to your channel and I'm never disappointed by my purchase. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks, will do!
Except the links show the Irwins costing almost twice what the Diablos are.
You better believe I'm watching this at 3am as soon as it is published. I don't even own a drill.
Thank you very much!
@@ProjectFarm I don’t even use tools but I watch this I don’t even own a hammer
Oh come on, everyone has a drill!
@@BASSstarlet cool
And where do u live?? @Oz Bloke
I need some masonry bits for a project and this was where I came first for a review. You're the best.
Awesome, thank you!
Todd you’re the man. There isn’t a single video I’ve typed “best of” that yours wasn’t the first to pop up, thanks for all the hard work you do!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I would like to see how many holes each bit could drill before turning into a round metal stick.
Probably at least 2
Great suggestion. Thank you.
My brother once got a set of free bits as an extra with an already pretty cheap drill. I tried one of the masonry bits in regular concrete, and it didn't even make it through one hole before becoming a blunt stick. I guess the chisel was made from chewing gum or something…
I tried drilling a hole in a proper masonry brick (not a concrete paver) with a cheap carbide bit in a non-hammer drill. In about 20 seconds, it made maybe a 1/8" divot in the brick before turning into a round metal GLOWING stick.
@@ProjectFarm add Tapcon bits if you do they are pretty stout Awesome video review!
I wish that manufacturers will put "suggested by Project Farm" stickers on their products. Proven quality is the best marketing tool.
Thank you!!
They would need to PAY, to have permission to do that.... Which might compromise the Project Farm Integrity we all appreciate & respect.... so, hopefully, this will never happen.....
On mobile phones we have plenty of tubers who get free phones from makers. Look at the cars Marques drives! Then compare Weber Auto with Whatsinside. Humans pay more for silly damage than true engineering.
If there is a more in-depth, diligent, detailed and objective reviewer on the internet about tools and the like...I haven't come across them.
Thank you for all the effort and amazing videos you produce sir.
Hey project farm. I just became a patron for $7. Your videos are truly incredible. They help me make decisions on tool purchases so I decided to give back. Keep it up
Awesome! Thank you!
5:23 drilling in portland cement concrete with gravel is a lottery
Thanks for watching.
This...that test isn't consistent because of the gravel content, you don't know what you'll hit.
Unless he x-rayed to see where the rocks were and even then possibly not all the same hardness. Three different holes would randomize better. Overall though, very much appreciate his tests!
I doubt the gravel was mixed all the way through in this piece. Looks more like it was only applied to the sides for decoration…
Yeh it's a poor test because you can't guarantee how much gravel each bit will encounter.
My friends watch Barcelona vs Argentina. I watch Bosch vs. DeWalt.
Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectFarm you should try using tire slime as engine oil
By Bosch vs. DeWalt, you mean China vs China? LOL
@@rotaryenginepete what
@@Leo-ul5pc it's the countries where they are made
Love the content. I actually need to know which bit is the best, but I still watch all your other videos even when i have no need or plan for the product. All facts no BS, perfect. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
Giving us the prices to compare is PRICELESS!!! By far my favorite RUclips channel
Thanks so much!
How do you have the time to make these high quality tests and videos every single week! You deserve a vacation.
Ya gotta give him credit, he's figured out how to accumulate tools without making the wife mad... pure genius!!
Thanks!
Sunday’s routine. Hot cup of tea and Project Farm videos. Thank you for all your hard work and detail oriented videos.
Thank you very much!
Loved the comparisons. Definitely can tell you did a lot of work
Thank you!
Great stuff as always...useful, thorough, rigorous, objective...the way tools ought to be reviewed and tested...this one actually even reflected my own experience in the field...have had solid performance from Irwin, Diablo, and Bosch...
Thanks so much!
Whether you own a business or just do home repairs Project Farm is the most useful channel on RUclips. And a shout out to the folks at Milwaukee, their stuff seems to consistently perform near the top of most of the comparison tests here.
Thanks so much!
Yeah, any tool that gets a lot of use, i get milwaukee. Impact drill for sure.
You should Do an Electric Pressure washer showdown.
Yes. I need a test of the Harbor Freight models!
Thank you for the video idea! Which brands and models would you like to see tested? I'll check back later on this comment. Thanks again
@@ProjectFarm Try the Northern Tools options and Whatever Walmart has, in addition to HF and Big Box brands.....? 🤔
The power and noise of electric vs gasoline models would be good for people who worry about bothering neighbors with noise or for cleaning services who don’t want to disturb customers.
@@ProjectFarm The Harbor Freight gasoline powered unit (3100 PSI, 2.8 GPM, 6.5 HP (212cc). For the price and durability of the larger engine it seems like it is the best value.
Your channel is one of the best on RUclips. You are honest and straight forward keep up the great work and keep the videos coming.
Thanks, will do!
Another money saving test by Project Farm. Thank you Sir!
You are welcome!
This channel has been gold for so long. Consistently to the point content, very respectable. Keep at it Project Farm!
Thanks, will do!
The color of the EZARC bit reminds me of a buddy's Chevy Nomad. LOL If you live in a small town, you probably have a better inventory of tools and supplies than your local hardware store. :-) Great video as always! A++
lol. Thank you! I give most of the tools away to local people who need them and help me out with acquiring supplies for testing products. Thanks again!
@electronicsNmore flip the letters around in the name. CRAZ-E brand.
@@ProjectFarm Nice! I was wondering what you were doing with all this stuff at home !
@Wazaag Break-head hello Nigerian prince thank you for you 500,000 donation
I like that you did a test on an old piece of concrete. As you saw that makes a huge difference! I work with precast concrete and we have different mixes to end up with different strengths, but we typically don't exceed a 28-day strength of 7,000 psi.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much. Just struggled at work with a masonry bit and I knew where to go find the answer!
You are welcome!
2:44 That brick is actually from Minecraft. That's kinda funny
Thank you for time stamp.
Thanks for watching!
Really tho
It's rare to find someone so genuinely happy to help people out. I've never met you, but it feels like you're the guy I could call for help and the only form of payment you'd take is a thank you and a handshake. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
Another excellent test comparison. You helped me decide which brand of bits to buy.
Thanks! Glad to hear!
PF saves me SO much time. I watch his videos on anything I’m looking to buy and I simply purchase the one I feel won the competition. I’ve done that already with a bunch of products and I’ve never been disappointed yet. Absolutely trust his hard work. Plus, I love the Farmabago. I watch the videos the moment a new one is posted.
Great to hear! Thanks!
You can share your list with your best products please ?
Your content filled a whole in my heart that I had no clue even existed
Thank you
Did the hole require a masonry bit to drill? Heart of Stone huh?
Diablo really stands out for me. It's an easy brand to remember and I have yet to be disappointed.
Their saw blades are amazing so it makes sense that their drill bits would be quality too.
Thanks for the feedback.
I had been using Bosch drills and Diablo saw blades. I'll try the Diablo bits next time.
Only saw blades I use
Thank you so much for that test. Drilling stone and concrete can be hard work and us non professionals really benefit from these experiments! Thank you!
I have al old stone house in France which I do work on and this information is perfect!! I was one of the viewers who asked for this review!
You are welcome! Thanks for requesting this video test.
I love all these comparisons. Thanks!
You are welcomed!
If I have 10-15 mins break between jobs what do I watch; CNN, Fox News or Project Farm?!... Only one of these 3 tells me the truth and only one out of these 3 has an information that is useful.
Go Project Farm! We greatly appreciate your work! Thank you! :)
You are welcome
Thank you. This is the one I've been begging for.
You're the best. You were hearing me and planned on doing the video request all along, but were just waiting for the concrete to cure. This is why I recommend you to friends, and even random strangers.
You are welcome!
Thanks! I had requested this some time back. Great Review.
You are welcome! Thanks for requesting this video idea.
The only downside to all your excellent work is that the brands aren't always comparable to the stuff we have over here in Scotland, but still doesn't stop me tuning in every time a new video goes up! Always appreciate the efforts and lengths you go to in order to test everything to the nth degree.
Thanks for sharing!
You've become one of the most entertaining RUclipsrs that I watch!
Wow, thanks!
💯
I always watch pf videos before any other channel I'm subscribed to ,love your videos .even on tools or products I don't use it's very helpful and educational
Dude, I messaged you just a few weeks ago asking for a review of the best masonry bits - and you’ve done it - this is great, thank you!!
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Impressive testing. Project Farm saving me money. Thank you!
You are welcome!
I was praying u have a video about Drill Bits and WALA ! Here you are ! ur Amazing !Thanks !
You are welcome!
Back when I worked at the big orange box, I had no problem recommending Diablo's products across the board. They were always durable, always performed solidly, and were a good value in my opinion, and I'm glad to see your testing backs up my feelings. There may be better, but usually not DRAMATICALLY better.
Thanks for sharing!
In my experience Diablo perform very well for 'consumer' grade tools, however some bits they sell are creeping up near 'construction' grade price, where you may be better off paying a little extra for a heavy duty tool or bit which will last significantly longer.
@@masondegaulle5731 most of the folks coming in to the big box store who weren't sure what they wanted/needed were DIY-types doing a project or two, and wanting to get the most for their money. Diablo was a great fit for them, because despite not being the most expensive, they never came back disappointed.
Agreed anytime the Diablo is in these test they always fair well. Milwaukee is generally similar.
I've been using 3/8" Irwin hammerdrill bits at work for years, but I may give the Milwaukee's a shot now.
Thanks for this video and the countless others you've done. I love this channel!
Thank you very much!
I mean, this video was exactly was I was looking for!! Great job and thanks!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Your videos are spot on mate.
You should test SDS bits! And you need to bring in the professional grade brands, like the German made Bosch, Makita and Hilti bits. A lot of what you had now was the consumer grade stuff.
I'm pretty impressed with Bosch's bigger bits (2"-5") but for anything 2" and below I love the Hilti bits (I don't like the price but my boss covers that hahah). I haven't seen any Makita bits in local stores (Alberta, Canada)
SDS plus or max?
@@SparxI0The cheap Makita bits are generic China but the expensive ones are made in Germany or France. But they are much less common to see in stores than Bosch and Hilti. Bosch also has regular German made or their premium which I find to be significantly better if you are going through wood or metal before the masonry.
Jup i have some that came with the drill itself and still lasted me to this day
But the average consumer is his target market. It would be impossible to run these tests with all pro grade tools because every town on earth has a different selection of pro grade. At least with consumer grade, he’s testing tools with a very high probability of availability to his audience.
the amount of effort that you put into answering the questions that everybody has when they see the giant sea of parts. bravo. amazing work!
Glad it was helpful!
You really are the best, I hope RUclips treats you well, we all appreciate the honest reviews
Thanks!
Thank your for another awesome! I especially enjoyed the test you performed with Tapcon screws. I was amazed at how strong the screws hold in a paver. Over 1000 lbs is quite strong. It would be great to compare that to other ways of securing screws in masonry. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the feedback.
I can't wait!! Let's get the testing underway!!
Thank you very much!
Just leaving a comment to let you know how much I appreciate your extremely helpful and valuable videos. Keep up the great work. Your loyal follower.
I appreciate that! Thanks, will do!

I would be interested to see how Hilti bits stacks up against the others in the masonry/concrete bit test. But as always your tests are really well put together. Never a let down. Thank you
Great suggestion! Thank you.
Thank you for your time and effort .great video.

When Project Farm posts a new video, it always puts a smile on my face. Thanks for the hard work and all the testing you do!
Thank you!
Hey man I have been watching your videos from the past yr and I really appreciate your work. I just want to say thank you and keep up with the good work.
I appreciate that! Thanks, will do!
Last year my garage was broken into while I was on vacation. Insurance helped cover the costs to replace everything. Bit this chanel made knowing what brands to buy a breeze. I've been watching your videos for years and I just wanted to say thank you for helping me rebuild my tool box for the best value
You are welcome! Sorry to hear about the tools being stolen!
i love how much effort you put into the videos. You cured concrete for a while just for the video. Awesome!!
Thanks so much!
I subscribed just for all the hard work you put in these videos. You have definitely earned your subscribers with your sweat. Kudos.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
You're the best man - I mean, your methodology is precise, your pace is peppy, your analysis is concise. I appreciate your work and check back with your videos before I make my next purchase. I'm a value shopper but also a contractor so sometimes I want the best at any cost. I appreciate your perspective on the different attributes of the things you test. Cheers!
You're very welcome!
That's funny to me. Sometimes I have to watch his vids at 50% speed, just to keep up.
and your videos well tought and precise and well made as always
I appreciate that!
your channel is the best place to see what to buy in tools.
thank you
Thanks and you are welcome!
Great video, I love the channel and I love how in depth you get with testing and the specifics among different brands. If you're looking for more video suggestions, a comparison of cordless 18g Brad nailers would be something I and many many others would surely benefit from! At any rate, thank you for your great reviews!
Thank you! Thanks for the video idea.
Love to see the EZARC brand back in here after its performance in the oscillating blade test. Once again another most spectacular video!
Thank you! Thanks for the suggestion.
Great video, thanks for the detailed analysis.

Extremely well done tests and also very useful! Thank you!
You are welcome!
You bring joy to the world, man. Thank you!

Ya know, I just realized that every time I see a new video of yours it puts a smile on my face... It's a rainy dreary Sunday here and I'm laid out on the couch drinking coco watching project farm.
Lifes simple pleasures
Thanks so much!
For anybody who's going to be drilling some concrete after watching this video, remember if you hit a hard spot/rock instead of dulling your bit put a 16 penny framer in the hole give it a good hard hit and then go back to drilling. Works every time
Thanks for the feedback.
I bought the Diablo brand based on this video. After 50 holes at 4 inches deep in hard concrete using one single bit, I was amazed it still was working. Thanks so much for the testing.
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
