Bremon Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Great video Dwain! Dewalt is killing it lately and making my Mikwaukee gear look second rate lol. Despite that, I think at this point I solely blame your praise and enthusiasm for them in OTT reviews for actually making me want to buy them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate all the love guys. It's a killer tool. NOW - WHO CAN PREDICT THE SCORES (out of 25) FOR THE IMPACT DRIVER COMPARISON???? Bosch - ? / 25 Dewalt - ? / 25 Hitachi - ? / 25 Makita - ? / 25 Metabo - ? / 25 Milwaukee - ? / 25 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Makita 24: speed and compact size make it the winner. Dewalt 23: ergonomics give it a boost. Milwaukee 22: self-tapper mode and potted electronics aren't enough to keep up with the makitas speed, or dewalt's better speed, torque, and ipm. Bosch 22: combination anvil/chuck is awesome but the rest of the specs aren't up to the challenge. Metabo and Hitachi are wild cards for me but I'm guessing they bring up the rear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict Dewalt 24 Milwaukee 23 Makita 21 Bosch 21 Metabo 20 Hitachi 20 At a guess lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I predict a tie of 24 with Dewalt and Milwaukee for the win. Depending on the tests done, both shine for different uses and in the real world the numbers on paper don't mean as much, they're going to be very close with Makita being the wild card IMO. So I have it: 24 Dewalt 24 Milwaukee 22 Makita 21 Bosch 19 Metabo 18 Hitachi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Depending on your tests when I did my impact fight the Dewalt is slightly quicker than the Milwaukee, but depending what you do it could be different Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't miss anything from Dewalt between them as most of their appeal is for trade specific tools which A- I don't need and B- Dewalt is apparently now really starting to get into anyway...but there is no denying that the M12 is unquestionably humping the rest of the competition into submission on every front. That said, I admit their impact you're reviewing is strong, I just don't like the ergonomics that much...same issue with Makita, they seem to feel awful in the hand to me despite having some good quality offerings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Dewalt's handles really do shine, obviously everyone has different sized hands, but I think they are really a cut above the rest for comfort. First gen fuel was noticeably less comfortable than 20v Max. The 2nd gen stuff is much closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Interesting that the brands are from only 3 countries: Germany - Bosch and Metabo Japan - Hitachi and Makita USA - Dewalt and Milwaukee It's like Europe v America v Asia...

Obviously low load tasks the Dewalt will crush due to a much higher no load speed, but when it comes down to the milk and cookies they're probably one in the same in speed tests. I think that Dwain will find what others have that will keep Dewalt from the sweep, and that is the very odd action of the speed 1 setting where it kicks the tool kind of violently as it impacts, and the Milwaukee has a very smooth action in comparison. This will keep Dewalt from scoring 25 points making a tie likely because Milwaukee will gain a point for having the sheet metal setting. 24's are obvious. If by some kind of magic I'm wrong, Dwain should send me the 887 as a form of unusual punishment. And If I'm right, he should send me the 887 as congratulations for winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends on what he does thiugh, i prefer the precision setting of Milwaukee better than the Dewalt and self tap mode is amazing, but if he does more high torque and speed stuff is yellow peddle down Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 as we speak about all these tools .......one day not long from now they will all be on a shelf at some pawn shop......cause there will be better ones...... it is bad enough trying to have as many useful tools to fill a shop/job site but if you are truly the type that needs/wants the latest and greatest as it comes out you will go broke even faster..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
