    I have the Makita and have used the M18 a lot as well.
    Its Makita all day for me. No one makes impacts and drills as comfortable and ergonomic to use as Makita.
    I think they tone them down a bit on purpose electronically in the power department for longevity but they are so much more refined then milwaukee and especially dewalt.
    Recently I used milwaukees warranty on a couple tools, and I have to say I was extremely impressed. Took in a couple tools that were 1-3 years old that have been used everyday. Within a week I got a call to come pick them up and they replaced every tool no questions asked. I don't feel like Makita would be that simple to warranty (if needed, have never had to and that's my main platform).

      I’m trying out the warranty on Milwaukee right now so hopefully I have a similar experience. You are right. Especially on the impacts Makita is more smooth and comfortable without a doubt.

      Excellent comment! Having owned and used both brands, they each have their best and worst models, like any Company. Milwaukee indeed has good service, and turn around time. Makita is not so bad. If you live on the East Coast, try the New Jersey Factory Service Center. It is great! Milwaukee makes some great tools, as does Makita. I concur wholeheartedly with you on makita. Milwaukee needs to get their Corporate heads outta their “you know what, “ and DROP those ridiculous triggers! I’m not alone in my disdain on that design. I LUV my M18 Fuel surge, but hate that dammed trigger. ARE YOU LISTENING Milwaukee ??? I’m done now!

      I’m 100% on the Makita LXT Platform and have only had one warranty claim and since I was close to the Makita Service Center in Wilmer, TX I dropped in and they serviced my XPH07 immediately (broken planetary gear from using bi metal hole saws in 3/16” steel, definitely overworking the drill but it never quit even with the broken gear). I now have the XPH14 and it is a beast.
      I recently purchased Makita’s XGD01 Earth Auger kit which is actually the XAD03 36 Volt Right Angle Drill with extra handles and bit adapters, I a now using it for drilling holes in steel,and with its lower speed and torque limiter it’s absolutely perfect for the job.

      I was mixing 5gal pails of concrete with it because i didnt have my mixing drill with me and didnt want to drive to go get it. But after about bag 12 the gearbox started grinding and no longer worked.
      I took it to my local Makita service center and they literally called me the next morning saying it was ready for pickup. Luckily they had the part in stock and covered it under warranty.
      Clearly this is 100% abuse of the drill so I'm not surprised it blew up and I was ready to cover the cost of the gearbox myself anyway because I know it was stupid to mix concrete with it lol

    I definitely agree that ergonomics are an important consideration with tools especially when you get older. I'd get home from work and I wouldn't be able to use my hands because they were in so much pain using big heavy unbalanced tools for light assembly work. Switching to a Makita 12V max brushless driver that's light and balanced and with more than enough torque for what I do has made life a lot better for me.

    I'd strongly consider improving your testing methodology. Makita always went second, while using the same bit from the previous test, which means every time the bit was heat soaked from the previous test, which decreases cutting ability ever so slightly. I would also like to see at least 3 runs per each individual test, as wood density/grain is variable from test to test. Same goes for which modes you run the tools in, would like to see same number of runs in each mode for each tool. If you re-run this test, making the changes I suggested, you'll find a lot less than ~18% difference between the results.

    • @TinkerWithTools
      @TinkerWithTools  2 года назад +3

      You are probably right and thank you for the feedback. At the end of the day, Makita does safeguard their tools more than Makita does and that ultimately is the difference between the two. On any given test, they are very similar.

    Why this genuinely amicable and well spoken Man has less than 10K, even 5K Subscribers, is beyond me? As I replied to ‘Eviction Carpentry’s’ excellent comment, I own and use both, but have always been a Makita guy. Milwaukee has a great lineup, and extensive battery sizes. No doubt this M18 Fuel Hammer drill is a beast. I think the Creator here stated it eloquently. Makita’s motors, whilst not always the top in power output, are some of the smoothest and best balanced. The LXT lineup is very extensive, only to be let down by the lack of higher amp hour batteries. As one of the Top Makita Techs was trying to BS his way out of our conversation, regarding said batteries, he tried to explain to me about the FAA limits on Watt hours for shipping, and how I wouldn’t want a huge battery on a drill or impact. 6.0 Ah is the best Makita has to offer, and they’re not even 21700 cells! And then Makita comes out with the XGT system, with honking 40 Volt batteries, on drills and impacts! Ridiculous! I’m not putting down the XGT lineup, rather Makita’s lame and sorry arse let down on the LXT platform. And, have you tried to buy/find any Makita 6.0 Ah batteries lately?
    Milwaukee has two areas that I have issue with. One; those @#%^ triggers! Use that hammer drill long enough, and it will leave your trigger finger sore. Other YT channel creators have complained of this issue. Two; Sharp edged plastic! I just picked up a new GEN 2 18 volt 2 gallon Shop Vac, and first thing I noticed, was the sharp edged line of plastic that ran along the handle! ( The Vac is very nice BTW ) I guess Milwaukee wants to sell more of their fine Cut Level gloves ?!?! 🤔🙄😂

    So, I use aftermarket, Waitley 9.0ah batteries on my XPH14 and my 2803. The other day I was drillimg through 3/8 steel with the Milwaukee. It was in first gear, but kept cutting out (it was in drill mode). So I got my Makita out and it didn't stall once. So I wonder if batteries play a role. Meaning, even though they are aftermarket, maybe 9ah batteries give it more power.

    Welder fabricator here, as someone who spends all day drilling and welding on 1/4+ stainless, mild, and ballistic steel this is not even close. Makita smears Milwaukee like a skidmark on reliability (sawzall and portaband the ONLY exceptions).
    Makita takes a lot longer to give you hand fatigue, maintains a stable warm temperature (Milwaukee handles get hotter that they should, I suspect a connection was made too thin) and the weight distribution is off on the Milwaukee.
    DeWalt is built like a box of marbles so while the ease of repair is there the poor fit and finish as well as seeing two sawzalls burn out in less than a year I wouldn't buy again. (DeWalt was my first tool brand

In my experience, that's Makita. I don't care if a DeWalt or Milwaukee can drive a lag bolt a second or two faster. That means nothing to me. What matters is I get the job done with the least amount of physical fatigue and downtime. Makita feels good in the hand, its batteries charge fast and last long. Makita are great tools.

      No, the 40v XGT batteries can't be used on the 18v LXT tools. But then again, the M18 batteries can't be used on the M12 tools. There are brands, like DeWalt and Metabo HPT, that feature a multi-volt style battery but that's not what Makita did.

  • @Droneguy-be1fy

    I use both brands regularly at work and bought all Makita for myself personally so that tells you all you need to know. Milwaukee are a good powerful tool but no way as well made or refined as Makita.

      This is an older review at this point and it was before I did testing on the hammer function specifically. In more recent tests I do touch on it more, albeit in a limited manner. I have more of a history on using a drill on wood than in metal or concrete so early on I stuck to what I knew more.

    I got Makita DHP486(XPH14 in US) for my father. DeWalt DCD800 was ~50 Euros more expensive than DHP486. Milwaukee prices are ridiculous in Europe, out of the question. DeWalt tools and batteries break very often, very bad quality control but slightly bothered with Makita’s weight - you win some, you lose some

    • @TinkerWithTools
      @TinkerWithTools  6 месяцев назад +1

      I think the search for a perfect tool will always leaving you wanting more. WIth the pricing on the Dewalt and Makita here in the states, you can typically the DCD800 in a kit for around 200 if you are patient. The Makita rarely goes on sale in kit form and when it does, the starting point is around $400 for the kit with the impact as well. You do get more value, but it's interesting that the pricing is so different in other regions.

    You should use a new bit for each drill. If you use it on one drill the bit is no long in prime condition

    • @TinkerWithTools
      @TinkerWithTools  Год назад

      Depending on which bit we use, there are times where have a different bit for each drill (on 1" spade bits I have multiple bits for example), but it wouldn't be cost effective to switch to a new bit each video for each tool. Are these tests perfectly scientific, no, not in this instance but it does give a general idea of the relative power of the tools.

    Makita has many fail safes going on, battery current cut-out, low voltage cut-out and likely a current limiter on tool itself.

Milwaukee offers a five year warranty compared to Makita‘s three year warranty it’s a Milwaukee’s best interest to protect the longevity of that tool.That’s not a shot at Makita has great Ergonomics and they have some of the best fit and finish tools on the market that’s just a fact.

      @@steffendetrick9403 go be honest not sure why on the warranty. In my experience Milwaukee let’s their tools reach higher operating temps vs others in the class doing similar tasks. I don’t think it’s poor thermals they just favor more compact tools. Makita on the other hand has tools that seem to cut out when it feels like they still have more to give. That’s more just from personal experience and not industry knowledge.

    Milwaukee is stronger than makita, ok
    but Makita is more ergonomic and above all the management of the torque is much better with Makita
    With the Milwaukee you can set the torque to 1, the screwdriver will still go too far on soft wood.
    with the Makita you can very finely adjust your torque and then if you have 200 screws to fit with the same energy Makita will take care of the work.
    whereas with the Milwaukee you will not fit two screws with the same depth, this is the problem when you focus everything on power and not on dosage and management.
