The one thing I love about the charger from RYOBI is that when the battery becomes fully charged, the charger goes into save mode which means the battery won't over charge.
Also that's not their fastest charger. And whatever you may say about the bulk and odd shape of their batteries, they're the easiest and most pleasing to seat in place. Partially because just sticking a thing in a hole is much more natural than sliding, partially must be psychological thanks to how this is similar to putting a mag in, makes you feel so manly and op
@@spacecassette2108 No they dont. The Bauer, which i i think is the same as Ozito in other countries...... the instructions specifically say not to leave the battery in the charger as it will overcharge and cause damage to the battery..
Found your channel through this video. Great job! I appreciate the attention to detail and the testing format. I would love to see similar videos for their other common tools like drills, circular saws, reciprocating saws, etc. If you guys did that and stuck with it for a while I think it would make hugely successful videos. This is exactly the kind of content I was looking for. Thanks.
Thanks so much for this comment. I am going to try and do some more of these. It takes a lot to make a video like this since I do all the prep, research, filming, editing and everything by my self. I really like making these videos. Im going to try and do another one as soon as I find some free time!
Lol I own all three of these, so this was a fun video to watch. My DeWalt is not speed adjustable, but the trigger is variable speed, and it's pretty good, but my Ryobi and Bauer all have three different speed settings /torque settings. I do like that better. I have dropped the Ryobi off a 10-ft roof three times, and it still runs. Totally fun video, I don't know why I didn't get more hits, it should, you guys are a blast
Great video, great reviews. I've been a RYOBI fan since they were blue/yellow. Good to know how the new impact stacks up. Agree that not having the LEDs on the chuck is a huge negative. I have the first brushless you showed - it has the LEDs on the chuck and it's great when you're working in a darker spot. For the reference - wasn't that in a movie? I dunno, I can't total recall...
Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked the video. I can add the numbers for each test in the next video. I think we are doing Milwaukee - craftsman - hart
@LifeProjX awesome, I'm looking forward to the next video. I'm interested in buying ryobi tools, I'm a hobbyist and am careful with my tools. Thanks again.
Your mistake was using phillips head screws. I have that Bauer driver and I use it with star bit construction screws, and it is a breeze. It's a pleasure to use. Practically no effort at all. 12,000 screws is still a lot, but trust me. Next time, T-25 star bit screws. You'll love it.
It definitely would have been nice to use star bit construction screws, but it would have been much more expensive. if I end up doing another review Ill consider it tho!
@@LifeProjX next challenge shouldve been to un-screw all those screws and tally up the speeds/battery/etc or each one, so you could give those screws more life.
I like Ryobi. I have been buying them since the late 1990's. I have not yet had to replace one, but I have added on with the better upgraded versions on some of the tools. The only thing I did not like was the batteries for them until they were also upgraded. My 5 1/2 blue ryobi does have a hard time cutting 2x4's, but it is old. I do stand behind them. There isn't a brand I hate as u add to what I have, depending on my need. Thank you for your channel and it has helped, and I always keep an eye on the sales you send out.
Solid test guys! Ryobi always has me on price point for most tools and battery interchangeability with other tools, but they seldom come in as top choice for power. This review surprised. Dewalt tools are comfortable by trade. If you get a chance to do future tool comparisons, I'd drop in a Milwaukee as they have a solid rep on power. Screw U, Benny! - Total Recall
Thanks! Milwaukee is next on the list for sure. Wish we could make more consistent videos, but we just kind of get to them when we get to them. Awesome catch on the movie reference! 😂
I'm not surprised by the Ryobi win, but there are other factors in play! First, the number of devices they have that work from the same batteries is stunning, including multiple flashlight types. I also have a very high quality 900 lb-ft impact tool, an angle grinder, and portable vac. Additionally, their prices are pretty decent for batteries and other tools. I have four 4 amp batteries, and rarely need a charge between projects. My recently purchased 900 lumen LED flashlight was accidentally left on for 4 hours on a full charge and still showed all bars on the 4amp battery. The next test might be to shop brands and see who offers the most capable and diverse tool line-up, especially concerning price!
Love my Bauer tools been using them for years never had to return one or exchange them still going strong. I use dewalt and Milwaukee for the auto mechanical stuff.
Ive got the Milwaukee gen 3 impact and my god is that uncomfortable to hold . After 3 years of daily i have big pressure sore at the base of my thumb that makes me have to hold the tool in a unnatural position when im driving home a lot of screws
I am setting up a Milwaukee vs Kobalt vs Hart. I don't think it'll be up until January tho. it's hard to find time to make those videos. there is a lot of work involved.
I have that same Ryobi impact driver and a Craftsman Impact driver that I kinda use at the same time. I live in central TX, and since it's so hot in the summer, I do most of my stuff at night. I use both impact drivers because of the light placement. There are times when the light being on the base (Ryobi) works better than the top mounted lights.
I have various tools with different led placement and though I prefer a led ring around the chuck the most, I must confess that this ryobi's led is more than decent. I expected it to perform poorly but the lighting of the work area is quite good. The only here I have about the tool I've got it's that is bit ejection sometimes gets jammed. Also, if one needs more power, I've heard it performs better on HP batteries, particularly the 9ah one. It's heavy and expensive though, and I suspect the improvement to be marginal.
@@BoraHorzaGobuchul I have that same problem. It doesn't happen too much with screw bits, but any time I use a socket adapter, ejecting the adapter almost always requires vice grips or a few tqps with a hammer.
@@coryholden666 nothing so extreme in my case, luckily, I just have to jiggle the ring manually, but then again, I haven't used it for really heavy stuff
I have that EXACT Ryobi driver. I’ve driven decking screws, lag bolts etc… with it and it’s never, EVER skipped a beat. I also am invested in Makita. Yes, there are some situations to where I go to Makita for really heavy lifting projects, my Ryobi driver out classes my Makita driver by a long shot.
I liked it so much i got a 2nd one. Just wish ryobi put this much effort into qc with all their tools. Like their brushless Sawzall thats marketed as professional use but they never bothered to strengthen the piston holding the blade and that sht broke after like 2 weeks and im not using it as a professional by any means. Just so stupid because everything else is great but they just somehow ruined the whole tool with 1 component. Exact same issue as the non brushless Sawzall so its not like they couldn't see it coming. Brushless belt sander had a knob snapped off which i managed to weld back but the whole tool is just janky, belt doesnt really tension correctly and thats just really disappointing for their hp line.
Dude u guys are cool! I wanna drink beers with u fellas in that kick a** workshop and do the rafter drop! Thanks for the info, I’m goin Ryobi! Total Recall
Love the video! What I would add is that when it comes to the bauer warranty; you can buy the optional extra warranty each and every year. They have a "no questions asked" kind of policy, so you can go in under warranty and grab a brand new tool right off the shelf. In and out within a minute. Really, no hassle. They usually have a deal as to you buy two Bauer products, and you get the third free as well. Their current deal is buy the 5ah battery at 68 bucks and get the impact driver free. That alone is a huge selling point. Your video just helped me make up my mind, Bauer is the way to go. Imo
Glad the video helped! I have seen some good deals on the Bauer products but I did not know about the extended warranty thing. Ill have to look into that!
With how far their quality has come it is definitely worth a look. I like to grab their predator engines every now and then. With the extended warranty, as long as you empty the gas and oil, you can bring it back, as long as you didn't obviously abuse it of course haha.
I have that ryobi impact and I have the Milwaukee m18 fuel impact - honestly? I like my ryobi just as well - it’s in the same bracket as the Milwaukee. So no surprise it blew these others out of the water
I have all 3(baught the bauer because needed impact left others at house) and i actually use the bauer on some uses and prefer it,BUUT the battery doesnt last as long,i only have the cheapo.ryobi is my next fav,and dewalt seems to barely have more power but battery last longest..just my experience and i use em everyyday
Ive used ryobi professionally full time before and they have always done good for me. At least the impactors. I have had some pretty bad tools from ryobi that have set on fire when I tried to use them professionally.
This is the first test I've seen where Ryobi came in first, especially beating Dewalt. Way to go Ryobi! (I have a bunch of their 40 volt yard tools and like them a lot.)
@@LifeProjX Great - some of my Ryobi yard tools are 8 or 9 years old and the batteries still work (although they now test out at 20 volts instead of 40, but most of the tools still work with them). My newer chainsaw however needs the full 40 volt (and I have 3 of those that are full strength). I always buy the tool to get new batteries - still cheaper that way. I'll be on the lookout for your review.
Here in Australia Ryobi’s drills and drivers have a 4 year warranty, but if you register them online, they give you 6 years. Is it the same in the US? Edit: US only gets 3 years “limited warranty”?? Don’t get me wrong, 3 years is still 3 years, but that kinda sucks that you don’t get extra.
@@LifeProjX All good mate! There’s only so much you can fit into a video without it being too bloated. Loved the video. Videos like yours help us make informed decisions. Appreciate ya!
I've noticed some makers will forget the belt clip!! Bauer ALWAYS has a belt clip! And the far best warranty! And in my opinion! The best operation and feel you can buy! And looks AMAZING!! You do need the 2 year purchase warranty! I mean! It's 20 bucks! And no questions asked!! You just take it to harbor freight and get a new one!! I have about 10 battery platforms!! I use bauer and buy bauer more tan any! They have everything! And it all works perfectly!! By the way I've returned my ryobi tools both times I bought them! They just suck!!!
I have been getting a lot of comments talking about how happy people are after switching to Bauer. Its looking like its going to be coming up and bumping out some other brands in sales in the near future.
For me the problem with Dewalt was the battery chargers. Drop them from 1 or 2 ft. and they stop working. After replacing them 3 times I switch to Bauer.
i don't want to carry those batteries anywhere on the ryobi.. i love my HFT and bauer line, but regardless, the light and the battery shape/size on the Ryobi is a 100% deal breaker. imagine needing to carry more than 1 ryobi battery anywhere with you. regardless, this was an epic comparison video.
You could buy a kit for the Bauer it’s $60 and includes a bag. The tool alone is 40 if you had to replace the tool because it wasn’t covered under warranty for whatever happened to it. It’s still cheaper than buying one of the other ones so you might’ve said Ryobi is the winner technically Bauer is long-term. Because the tool is easily replaced.
Redo the test with 2ah or 4ah batteries, I own both Ryobi and Dewalt tools. What I've noticed is that there's a huge drop off in power when the 1.5ah batteries reach half charge. This went for both platforms, those 1.5ah batteries are garbage.
I bought my contractors Bauer and back drivers, did not buy the warranty, We lost all of them within 6 months We still have only the Multi-Tools running, everything we bought was brushless and only the multi-tools survived
Using 5 digits of screws t just shit all over some wood mindlessly actually sounds like a great cathartic experience. Anything drill-like is oddly satisfying to use over and over, even with no real purpose behind it. Although admittedly I would have loved you rviewing the DeWalt DCF850 Atomic instead of the DCF 840 . . . which is miles ahead of it in terms of power and compactness. But considering DeWalts absolute garbage-tier nomenclature and numbering, I guess it cant be helped figuring out which one to actually look at. I actually have the DCF850 though, and while it wasn't the one I actually wanted (I was looking instead at getting the DCF845, which is their larger XR version), but it came in a great package deal and when I used it I was floored at just how insanely powerful that tiny thing is, and the almost laughably short head length of it (literally 4 inches) has helped me in more than a few ways I wasn't expecting it to in tight areas. The ergonomics of it are phenomenal too; with one of their Powerstack batteries (another thing I didn't originally care for but got one off-handedly and started loving it anyway) it's profile and weight is so minuscule and the ergonomics are so great that the entire experience is like cutting through butter; just a smooth, pleasant time without much distractions or discomfort.
I was thinking of doing a video going over all of the different models of dewalt to bread down the confusion. I might have to put that on the list of videos to make this year.
Are you sure you got the DeWalt brushless? The regular Maxx is NOT brushless. That's why there is such a difference in price. The $160 Maxx is a brushed motor drill. Just something most don't know and get really confused by.
Ryobi cordless tools seem to be hit and miss for me. I've had good experiences with most of their cordless products with the notable exception of their nail guns, which break and malfunction quite often. Their batteries use to be horrible, but they seem to be improving lately. Ryobi AC tools are also all over the map so do your research before buying.
I think we are going to do another video with Milwaukee, Kobalt and Hart. I have to put up some videos about a lighted tractor parade that I film every year first tho.
The reason the other brands outperformed the dewalt is because you didn’t by dewalt stop of the line. Not even close to its best impact. Not hating but apples to apples comparison would’ve been better. I’ve used dewalt 4 years now and would never even think about swapping brands.
I understand the argument, but we picked the least expensive brushless in each brand because that's what most consumers do. I have a dewalt that would have killed this test, but I think the comparison by doing it by price point.
Dewalt has a very scummy marketing team. They do this on purpose to confuse the consumer. That being said, i do use Dewalt every single day because i know they work and are decently reliable.
How?? How is Ryobi the runaway winner, YOUR tests showed that the bauer was the clear winner on screws per charge, AND torque with the lag bolt test, I am so confused right now????
@LifeProjX yeah but you didn't state that. You said you bought the cheapest knockoff brand from Amazon. Dewalt is not a knockoff nor did you say you bought it from Amazon you said you previously had that tool.
@@LifeProjX there’s tons of Milwaukee fans probably more than dewalt be strategic about it for safety reasons 😄I have all kinds of brands but I prefer corded. Planning to get one of those battery power pack like generator but I really don’t have a need for one. I was given a Milwaukee set as a gift, it’s the only battery ones I have only because I really don’t want to mess with expensive batteries. Thanks for the videos
I never liked the Ryobi brand, color, battery or style of the tool...It looks Cheesy and not professional looking at all...I usually take multiple batteries with me...Ryobi batteries can't fit in a normal pocket or utility belt...And that stupid color again is offensive to my eyes!!!🤣
haha, I have taken some shit when ive shown up to a job with some ryobi tools. I use the 9ah batteries most of the time and I always give the shit back when other buys are swapping batteries twice a day and I don't have to change once.
I build portable buildings and I LOVE my Ryobi tools and the whole cheesy look is a HUGE advantage especially if you are working outside all over the nation. My coworkers get their RED and YELLOW tools stolen all the time... I've yet to have to replace mine. 😂
@Jiraiyashouse666 Well that's a plus...Jesus loves you...He has an amazing book written about you, before you were born...And He wants to talk you about it
Raymond Elmer DeWalt is rolling in his grave. I like all these brands. I'm Cheering for the underdog Bauer great product for the price point it is SOLID 👍🏻 Ryobi I have their products and they have never let me down 👍🏻 DeWalt I have a case of Stanley hand tools and I'm going to be purchasing the DCF900👍🏻 The list is long of quality great brands out there. Today I found out about the RIDGID R86211 the Big Dawg of them all it was so good that RIDGID had to pull back because it was out shining Milwaukee, it's a shame what they did with RIDGID it was to good for the market they held it back. It's also a shame what happened to Milwaukee H96B total recall, make sure you get the H96A if you get one.👍🏻 Anyways, I appreciate all these fine brands what ever works for you., and don't forget the Hercules by Harbor Freight their flag ship👍🏻 and the Warrior isn't that bad at all and their Chicago power tools for the novelist, there is a tool for everyone 👍🏻 But also don't forget you can always do it the old fashion way by hand and get some exercise in your muscles get the blood circulating 👍🏻💪🏻
Fyi My experience is that Home Depot’s price points are at times on drugs. 😮 They literally will have 2 to 4 different prices for tool kits, they will have different SKU #’s with different price points, sometimes they include a cheap drill bit set calling it a different SKU. You have to be a careful shopper & diligent shopper.
I used a Ryobi to build displays metal/wood for a company and it was a Beast every day.
The one thing I love about the charger from RYOBI is that when the battery becomes fully charged, the charger goes into save mode which means the battery won't over charge.

I use bauer and buy bauer more tan any! They have everything! And it all works perfectly!! By the way I've returned my ryobi tools both times I bought them! They just suck!!!
I have been getting a lot of comments talking about how happy people are after switching to Bauer. Its looking like its going to be coming up and bumping out some other brands in sales in the near future.
Damn sitting at 205 views. I hope y’all get that 1,000,000 I enjoyed it!
Thanks! I hope we get 1M also. that would be amazing. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Frank from Michigan here ............ hey guys ... when are you going to do a video where you take out all those screws!! 😀😃😁
... never... haha
HF for the DIY’er always wins. Always. I’m speaking from 30 years experienc.
Im starting to come to that conclusion
I have the bauer. You forgot to mention it has tree speeds.
For me the problem with Dewalt was the battery chargers. Drop them from 1 or 2 ft. and they stop working. After replacing them 3 times I switch to Bauer.
i don't want to carry those batteries anywhere on the ryobi.. i love my HFT and bauer line, but regardless, the light and the battery shape/size on the Ryobi is a 100% deal breaker. imagine needing to carry more than 1 ryobi battery anywhere with you.
regardless, this was an epic comparison video.
Yea I have a lot of the ryobi batteries and they are a pain to carry around. Thanks for the comment!
You could buy a kit for the Bauer it’s $60 and includes a bag. The tool alone is 40 if you had to replace the tool because it wasn’t covered under warranty for whatever happened to it. It’s still cheaper than buying one of the other ones so you might’ve said Ryobi is the winner technically Bauer is long-term. Because the tool is easily replaced.
Redo the test with 2ah or 4ah batteries, I own both Ryobi and Dewalt tools. What I've noticed is that there's a huge drop off in power when the 1.5ah batteries reach half charge. This went for both platforms, those 1.5ah batteries are garbage.
I can do that I have 4 ah batteries for all the impactors
I bought my contractors Bauer and back drivers, did not buy the warranty, We lost all of them within 6 months We still have only the Multi-Tools running, everything we bought was brushless and only the multi-tools survived
I will have to try the multi-tool. I have the ryobi and I think its junk
@@LifeProjX the brushless one from Bauer served me well so far
Nice Total Recall reference lol
Thanks! haha
I would like to see the craftsman in this test
It’s on the list! We have a few videos dropping then we will come back for another review!
Oh no brother, youre doing 1 milion screws for 1 milion subs, no pain no gain
haha, if I ever get a million subs (unlikely) Ill see what I can do 🤣
Next you have to remove all those screws 😂
I was going to burn the wood and pull them all out and grab them with my magnet haha
😂
It makes me wonder how the RYOBI got its motor smoked often by other regular tool testers on RUclips.
Absolutely hate my dewalt and my Makita been buying Bauer for the last year and I love them
I was not impressed with the dewalt
Using 5 digits of screws t just shit all over some wood mindlessly actually sounds like a great cathartic experience. Anything drill-like is oddly satisfying to use over and over, even with no real purpose behind it.
Although admittedly I would have loved you rviewing the DeWalt DCF850 Atomic instead of the DCF 840 . . . which is miles ahead of it in terms of power and compactness. But considering DeWalts absolute garbage-tier nomenclature and numbering, I guess it cant be helped figuring out which one to actually look at.
I actually have the DCF850 though, and while it wasn't the one I actually wanted (I was looking instead at getting the DCF845, which is their larger XR version), but it came in a great package deal and when I used it I was floored at just how insanely powerful that tiny thing is, and the almost laughably short head length of it (literally 4 inches) has helped me in more than a few ways I wasn't expecting it to in tight areas.
The ergonomics of it are phenomenal too; with one of their Powerstack batteries (another thing I didn't originally care for but got one off-handedly and started loving it anyway) it's profile and weight is so minuscule and the ergonomics are so great that the entire experience is like cutting through butter; just a smooth, pleasant time without much distractions or discomfort.
I was thinking of doing a video going over all of the different models of dewalt to bread down the confusion. I might have to put that on the list of videos to make this year.
The true test is testing after the 10 battery charge.
all the batteries seem to be holding up well. Im still using all the inspectors.
Are you sure you got the DeWalt brushless? The regular Maxx is NOT brushless. That's why there is such a difference in price. The $160 Maxx is a brushed motor drill. Just something most don't know and get really confused by.
Yea. The DCF809 is the model. I think the issue is that that model is compact so I think they sacrificed some power for size.
But… they all still work. See this is what happens when I let you finish a video by yourself
🤣🤣 if we get a bunch of views we can either break them or give them away. I'll let you decide.
I’m deep into Ryobi for home and carry Makita for work. The Makita drip, hammer drill, and 5” grinder are much stronger than the Ryobi. D
Ill have to try out the makita. Ive been using bosch for my hammer drill
Don’t sleep on the Makita hammer drill.
Do you use the new ryobi + HP stuff or the normal?
Brushless. My problem was battery life. Good tools but not for drilling into 1/4” ar400 steel.
bauer updated their impact drivers compared to this video
Ryobi cordless tools seem to be hit and miss for me. I've had good experiences with most of their cordless products with the notable exception of their nail guns, which break and malfunction quite often. Their batteries use to be horrible, but they seem to be improving lately. Ryobi AC tools are also all over the map so do your research before buying.
I have had bad luck with the ryobi reciprocal saw and the hammer drill.
DCF850
New subcriber here guys , great video , help a lot thanks 😊
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it for sure!
total recall
nice
I can't recommend Ryobi and feel safe about it. I have seen way too many of their batteries explode in the past year.
I have noticed that the Ryobi batteries don't last, but I haven't seen any explode.
Need to try a real tool lol get a Milwaukee fuel lol ❤ the video btw u earned my subscription
I think we are going to do another video with Milwaukee, Kobalt and Hart. I have to put up some videos about a lighted tractor parade that I film every year first tho.
@@LifeProjXsweet I look forward to it
Don’t forget Hercules
@@FotoTravis damn, how do I fit that in. Your right tho. We will have to figure it out
The reason the other brands outperformed the dewalt is because you didn’t by dewalt stop of the line. Not even close to its best impact. Not hating but apples to apples comparison would’ve been better. I’ve used dewalt 4 years now and would never even think about swapping brands.
I understand the argument, but we picked the least expensive brushless in each brand because that's what most consumers do. I have a dewalt that would have killed this test, but I think the comparison by doing it by price point.
My misunderstanding! Sorry. Just hate to see all the hate on the brand I make my living with lol
Ryobi is diy you guys r funny run the ryobi against a Milwaukee brushless and find out
Milwaukee is coming up in a future video for sure
DeWalt has became crap, you might as well by craftsman and save a little money because it's the same thing.
we were surprised at how it underperformed. Milwaukee is next to be tested.
Dewalt has a very scummy marketing team. They do this on purpose to confuse the consumer. That being said, i do use Dewalt every single day because i know they work and are decently reliable.
I love all of my older dewalt tools, just wasn't super impressed with the new impact.
How?? How is Ryobi the runaway winner, YOUR tests showed that the bauer was the clear winner on screws per charge, AND torque with the lag bolt test, I am so confused right now????
You bought the cheapest dewalt system on the market. Not really fair.
I bought the cheapest brushless for each brand.
@LifeProjX yeah but you didn't state that. You said you bought the cheapest knockoff brand from Amazon. Dewalt is not a knockoff nor did you say you bought it from Amazon you said you previously had that tool.
Did anybody say Total Recall at the bar but you guys got the shity DeWalt model they are different models to buy
I’m thinking about doing an all dewalt video in the spring.
Ryobi sucks Milwaukee all the way, ryobi is the homeowner special get Milwaukee if you wanna get acctual things done
Milwaukee is the next vs video. then Im thinking ill put the winners up against the Hilti
@@LifeProjX perfect, I’m excited to see how it all holds up just found your Chanel today and loving it
By kiss azz comments I’m guessing ryobi won?
Oh also, Total Recall
I am going to be putting it up against the Milwaukee before long. just takes me a while to make videos.
@@LifeProjX there’s tons of Milwaukee fans probably more than dewalt be strategic about it for safety reasons 😄I have all kinds of brands but I prefer corded. Planning to get one of those battery power pack like generator but I really don’t have a need for one. I was given a Milwaukee set as a gift, it’s the only battery ones I have only because I really don’t want to mess with expensive batteries. Thanks for the videos
I never liked the Ryobi brand, color, battery or style of the tool...It looks Cheesy and not professional looking at all...I usually take multiple batteries with me...Ryobi batteries can't fit in a normal pocket or utility belt...And that stupid color again is offensive to my eyes!!!🤣
haha, I have taken some shit when ive shown up to a job with some ryobi tools. I use the 9ah batteries most of the time and I always give the shit back when other buys are swapping batteries twice a day and I don't have to change once.
I bet you prefer fat women too, don't you😂😂😂
I build portable buildings and I LOVE my Ryobi tools and the whole cheesy look is a HUGE advantage especially if you are working outside all over the nation. My coworkers get their RED and YELLOW tools stolen all the time... I've yet to have to replace mine. 😂
@Jiraiyashouse666 Well that's a plus...Jesus loves you...He has an amazing book written about you, before you were born...And He wants to talk you about it
I like the sound of popping a Ryobi battery in. My Dewalt drill also has a really hard to move speed change switch.
Raymond Elmer DeWalt is rolling in his grave.
I like all these brands.
I'm Cheering for the underdog Bauer great product for the price point it is SOLID 👍🏻
Ryobi I have their products and they have never let me down 👍🏻
DeWalt I have a case of Stanley hand tools and I'm going to be purchasing the DCF900👍🏻
The list is long of quality great brands out there.
Today I found out about the RIDGID R86211 the Big Dawg of them all it was so good that RIDGID had to pull back because it was out shining Milwaukee, it's a shame what they did with RIDGID it was to good for the market they held it back.
It's also a shame what happened to Milwaukee H96B total recall, make sure you get the H96A if you get one.👍🏻
Anyways, I appreciate all these fine brands what ever works for you., and don't forget the Hercules by Harbor Freight their flag ship👍🏻 and the Warrior isn't that bad at all and their Chicago power tools for the novelist, there is a tool for everyone 👍🏻
But also don't forget you can always do it the old fashion way by hand and get some exercise in your muscles get the blood circulating 👍🏻💪🏻
Great comment! Appreciate all the advise. I would like to test more stuff in the future, but need to save up the money to buy more tools 🤣
Fyi
My experience is that Home Depot’s price points are at times on drugs. 😮
They literally will have 2 to 4 different prices for tool kits, they will have different SKU #’s with different price points, sometimes they include a cheap drill bit set calling it a different SKU.
You have to be a careful shopper & diligent shopper.
I couldnt believe how many packages/options there were!
black and decker (DeWaltz) SUX!!!
We were not impressed
511 views 😂
On the plus side it doesn't look like ill have to do 12,000 screws for a video again haha
getting close to 40k. its not 1M but Ill take it
Sounds like a bunch of whining....never get that 12 minutes of my life back again.
Nope. those 12 min are mine now. locked away in my viewership history haha.
@@LifeProjX lol people now a days are to spoiled with so many options and they still complain, back in the day we got it done by hand, organic 💪🏻
