torontotoolman Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 https://instagram.com/p/6yn7sqkxLr/Ok so this time its the same guys using both drills the milwaukee gen 2 impact has a 5.0 battery and on high speed the makita has a 3.0 battery theres no cheating its all fair well if anything the milwaukee has the advantage but as you can see the milwaukee still has a wobble aldo now im interested in everyones thoughts not no negative thoughts on the guys using the tool but thoughts on the tools them selves now i can say these are 2 of the best impacts anyone could have and thats the bottom line both are great and amazing tools but i can say that its amazing that the leap makita has made is so big its hard for any other tool to surpass it Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Makita just has so much more RPM than the Milwaukee. I wonder if that's why Milwaukee didn't show off the new Fuel impacts against the new Makita. Milwaukee put on a bigger show with the Fuel drill. It would be interesting to see a tachometer ran on each of the impact drivers to see what the speeds are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Makita seems superior for the vast majority of tasks I would use an impact driver for. I don't want another battery platform though lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 If I had unlimited funds I think I would pick up a Makita Drill and Impact driver kit. I'm a little disappointed with Milwaukee they didn't do their homework this time around. The interesting thing is how some tool channels are going to review the new Milwaukee gen 2 tools though.

DR99 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 For a tool company that was kind of out of it for awhile Makita is really kicking out the tools. I would like to see a comparison between the gen1 and gen2 fuel impact now. I don't think their is a huge different between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 The difference between the 2604 and 2704 seems much more vast than the 2653/2753. I should be able to give you guys impressions later this week. I really wanted the 2704 and mainly got the 2753 because the extra cost wasn't vast so I decided to spoil myself a bit lol.

The interesting thing is how some tool channels are going to review the new Milwaukee gen 2 tools though.With regards to the impacts, yes I agree with you, but with the drills the new Milwaukee should best the Makita.

jbw55 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Milwaukee impact looked like it was on Valium LOL.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bothuhead19 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Pretty impressive, Makita is definitely putting it's best foot forward and finally taking Brushless seriously now. I think they learned from their first gen Drill Driver that ended up smoking for some folks! But they have definitely come a long way since then and as it seems is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to impact drivers. It would be interesting to see them side by side in an endurance test. I remember Dan and Eric put the Gen 1 FUEL up against the DeWalt brushless a couple years back and the FUEL started out really strong driving the lags in faster but in the end it actually ended up slowing down and ended up just about tied with the Dewalt on lags driven.

Swaglosrevival Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Why everybody talking like Makita use to be wack. I moved to the Makita line years ago because they had strong tools. I used to use dewalt exclusively. Makita has always been one of the tops. They aren't as innovative as some of the others but they always have solid tools.

bothuhead19 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Well Makita fell asleep for a few years but they woke up Yeah I remember.

WeldfabNeil Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I hate saying this but the millwakee was horrible in comparison to the Makita. I still won't be trading in my millwakee first generation fuel thoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
