    When I was a young man I bought tool brands like Snap-on because I figured they'd last a lifetime. Now I'm in my 70s and I buy tools from Harbor Freight, because I figure they'll last a lifetime... mine at least. I bought a SeeSii battery impact wrench after your first test of one and it rides on my tractor to make in-field maintenance easier. It has worked well, and if it does die because of mistreatment, well, it won't break the bank to buy another.

    While capability is ever increasing, the price of name brand compact, mid-torque and high torques are outpacing inflation by 200% in the last 4 years (+36% vs +17%). And after all, those past models were big performance steps then too, brushless over brushed in many cases. So shout out to the little guys who help pump the brakes.

      Yes, I think the most important thing is, are the internal parts properly hardened, and do the batteries last at all? A lot of Briggs and Stratton lawnmowers for for decades used an aluminum cylinder bore with no cast iron liner but there was no way for consumers to know any different. Using the wrong metals or non-hardened metals can make something last about 90% less.

He’s even thrown out/given away/sold off some of his old guns as he was starting to have a very eclectic group of chargers sitting on his workbench. he is all blue now. If you haven’t popped for it yet snag yourself that high torque XTR half-inch drive cobalt and there won’t be anything you can’t takeoff. Their 3/8 right angle impact is also a beast as well. Believe it or not. For the price, it beats my IR 5330 3/8 inch drive right angle impact. The cobalt has more torque, a brushless motor, and an LED light.

    Another great video. I personally try to stay with the brand that I have a bunch of batteries for, and seem to be decent overall. The off brands even if I didn't have a bunch of the one brands batteries, I would tend to stay away from for 2 reasons one would be everytime in the past that I purchased no name or lesser name cordless tools the batteries never seem to last very long. The second issue has been the price of replacement battery packs usually ends up costing 80% of what the tool costs. I had some early skill and Ryobi stuff that got lightly used around the house and only lasted a few months do to junk battery packs. I don't know about skill but it seems like Ryobi has come out with much better stuff now then when they started out. Keep up the great job with the videos.

      Correct. I will never buy a Ryobi tool again, because I bought some of their tools in the past and their batteries died basically after a few charge cycles. I consider that to be theft, and dishonesty. Modern batteries in the cheaper tools are probably a lot better. I've noticed that the more expensive tools are all UL listed. And really, I've realized there is no reason not to buy into another brand now, because the big brands have such good batteries, the batteries last 10 years now. If you buy a Dewalt drill with a high capacity battery, you only need 1 battery for the next 10 years. I use tools daily at work, and my Milwaukee M18 "4.0" batteries are still going from 2014. I recently bought Flex power tools, because their circular saws are the best on the market. Milwaukee just doesn't have anything that can compete, in terms of build quality. So sometimes it's necessary to buy outside the brand.

      What you have experienced is the difference between lithium batteries and ni-cad, etc batteries. I have a like new Ingersoll Rand 3/8 impact that has garbage ni-cad batteries caused by a lack of use. The batteries discharge fairly quickly when sitting and constant full discharge is very hard on the cells.
      Lithium cells have a very low discharge rate when in storage, as well as containing more energy.
      I also have a lot of old Hitachi and DeWalt ni-cad tools that are in excellent condition but have garbage batteries, I loved the tools but hated constantly replacing batteries. Then I have 18v Bosch lithium battery tools that see constant use and I haven't had a single battery fail in 10 years. I bought my Bosch tools back before the bare tool days so each tool came with 2 batteries, and on deck jobs in the heat of summer having a dozen packs cooling and charging keeps the work flowing. Now with bare tool sales only it costs a fortune to have that many batteries.

      It would be interesting to see how the WH760 performs vs. the WH750, since SeeSii somewhat deceptively changed the Amazon listing so it's the same product page, retaining all of the WH750's reviews and ratings. It's obviously a completely different model. The WH750 was a bit of an oddball, not even in SeeSii's usual blue color, so is likely not a good indication of the WH760's quality. There are a few reviews of the WH760, but no real hard numbers yet as to how it lives up to the claimed specs. The price has been down to $106 after all discounts (Prime + coupon + promo code), so it's tempting, but it now has Amazon's "frequently returned" warning, which doesn't give me a lot of confidence.

    The issue with the cheap off-brand stuff in the past has always been the batteries. You might rarely use something like this, and even still, less than a year after purchase all the batteries are completely dead and won't accept a charge - or they might lose like 85% of their capacity. Has there by any sort of longterm look? If you guys still have your old drills with the original batteries laying around, I'd be interested in seeing how they've held up. Maybe the cheap Chinese knockoffs have finally got around to stealing the big companies battery schematics as well.

    After seeing more tools like the Hercules with the hammer drill a couple months back iirc. It's music to everyone's ears seeing stuff like this.
    For as much as we like to assume that we "will 100%" be in need of a warranty, everything else from performance to longevity so far just shows the big brands are just that. Brands, like a your common 5$ white/blank t-shirt, with a supreme logo that retails for $50. MW can put lipstick on a pig & here we have SeeSii atleast catching up & giving them a nice slap on those rosy and fairly hairy cheeks. (lol)
    A mixed bag is what I think most people will gladly embrace, which is to say just whatever tool is "best" for their specific application, and fill their 'in between tools' with honestly a mix of again, Hercules, some Amazon, some Dewalt (their prices are great on amzn, more often than others on HD). 😅 & the best part is, we can look back years from now and see if that warranty meant as *much* as companies like to ingrain in our consumer-psyches, by the results of hundreds of tools used/abused and compared to their, 'top shelf' constituents. This too, includes harbor freight stuff, which is exciting actually.

    I think for SeeSi to graduate to the next level of brand status, they probably need to ditch the Makita battery compatibility -- I'm sure Makita could pursue patent infringement if they so choose, and if a no-name brand became big enough, they just might decide to (for once).

    • @TorqueTestChannel
      @TorqueTestChannel  Год назад +20

      Losing that and they are just another brand you need to buy their batteries and charger to use. Which they would need to basically start over. Offer a real 3-5yr warranty, be available in multiple places, sell batteries and tools separately. Then they would be compared to real brands which would put them in the middle assuming they could keep their price point. it would be tough, Plus Makita seems to go after no one for using their LXT batteries, and making a tool compatible with a brand's batteries is maybe even within patent rules - as it's a trade dress appearance patent not a utility patent after all.

      Making a tool compatible with say the more advanced power metering and other communication that the big brand's batteries do probably would fall under IP, but at the end of the day battery compatibility at the most basic level is just having 2 bits of metal in the right spots, and I feel like that would be tough to argue on legally

    Love my blue SeeSii 1/2 inch. Have been using it basically every day almost since the first Amazon impact video came out. Have opened it up and replaced the grease a few times but that's it. No problems whatsoever and it's been dropped quite a few times. Next purchase is going to be one of those Onevan 3/4 impacts with the metal housing. That one looks too nice to pass up. And takes the same Makita batteries as all of the other no-name tools. That's what I like about them. I have a million of those Makita LXT packs and the various knockoffs that come with different tools. Because all of them take those batteries, I can buy whatever brand and use my existing huge stash of batteries.

    I have both the standard and compact SeeSii and they work very well. They seem to have sizing issues on the steel ring that locks the sockets on and that can be very frustrating when new. But I suspect the real penalty for "cheap" is likely to be in the battery cell quality. We all know that genuine battery packs from names like Milwaukee are heads and shoulders above the generic Ebay replacements. I worry that the Seesii probably comes with generic quality cells. But I guess if it becomes a significant problem, rumor has it that Makita 18V LXT packs will fit.

    The SeeSii WH750 not only has a $40. Amazon coupon at check out, but if you have Prime and also the Prime Visa, you get free shipping (well, sorta) and you can use some of those Prime Visa points you were saving to buy the wife an electric can opener (you cheap pricks) to lower the price even more. By the time you get all the discounts and free shipping for the SeeSii, I believe it beats the Ridgid bundle they currently have going. SO.... if let's say you absolutely hate the China Amazon impacts, the saving grace is that Seesii impact sales will probably get the attention of the big boys, so maybe Milwaukee and Dewalt will stop cranking their prices so absurdly. I would suggest telling the big boys on their YT channels that this stupid China brand is actually pretty f'n good from several different viewpoints, cause it is.

    My biggest gripe with something like the ir or a snapon is the specialized batteries. Meaning that you can’t just go and buy the tool itself and add it to your collection of other tools that share a common battery, charger, etc. That’s the main reason I’ve gone to Milwaukee. The battery and charging station for my high torque impact is the same for my leaf blower, skill saw etc…. Having 6 different brand chargers is kind of annoying, especially in a limited garage space. I recognize that Milwaukee doesn’t always top the charts in every category, but at least I only have 2 chargers to run all of my cordless tools and I can buy just the tool when Im in need of adding one to my collection.
