Rutter Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Ok I am partners with Tool Barn and they sent me three impact wrenched to test out and review. I got the makita brushless, the Milwaukee brushless and the dewalt brushless. All 1/2 impacts. They sent me the wrong dewalt so I don't know about it yet but here are my thoughts. The makitas grip is the best. The Milwaukee definitely has more power and feels like it has more power. The makita does have three modes and the Milwaukee only has two. I don't like that you can't feather the makita like you can on the Milwaukee. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I love my 2763, only downside is the old style Fuel grips suck. My meat hooks must not be heavy duty enough by Milwaukee standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 When you get the other dewalt, stand them all upright and notice the difference in angles and see which one you like Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemontague Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I heard the makita was more powerful I have the dewalt 1/2 and the 3/4 I seam to like them better than the milwaukee but there all amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I don't feel bad when new tools come out better than the ones I have. The M18 was the first mainstream brushless high torque impact that I know of. I'd feel worse if Dewalt and Makita had theirs first and the M18 I waited for fell on it's face . Being newly converted to yellow I must admit it's hard not to want to just buy everything twice and have a full line of both brands lol. Are there boots available for the 20v Max or Makita? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 That Makita looks like a Beast. I still have a brand new corded Milwaukee Impact wrench for about 9 years now and have never used it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 No boots for DeWalt, poor fella ? Are you saying the Makita doesn't have a variable speed trigger??? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I just got the Dewalt and I love it, thing drives hard and fast, and at this power level I don't think I'll ever encounter something it won't handle unless the damn thing is welded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only three fasteners it couldn't handle so far and one was an impeller not a fastener. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing what type of head to head test you come up with lol. John, Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk[emoji848] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
