Downshftking Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 Ok now people I know everyone here is into tools BUT I know there is a feud going on!!! I wanna know what is the best in cordless drills and who makes the best!!! Dewalt or Milwaukee???!!!
BMack37 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 In my opinon Milwaukee...but realistically, it depends on the item and your preference. Milwaukee generally has better torque than the equivalent Dewalt but it's normally by a negligible amount. The one thing Dewalt SMOKES Milwaukee on is bits, Milwaukee bits are garbage.
DR99 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 If you want the best best as much as it pains me the brushless Makita seems to be the best right now. If your just looking at just Dewalt or Milwaukee the Gen2 Fuel Milwaukee is defiantly the better drill now. Bmack is also right the first gen shockwave bits were pretty bad too. I would like to see how the new Shockwave bits hold up though. You really can't go wrong with any of the brands just choose one that has the tools you want in it is the big thing I would stress over name and color.
jeffmcmillan Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 To put it nicely, Dewalt is taking their time with high power brushless tools. It's a bit of a tossup between Milwaukee and Makita for most powerful drill, but they both leave Dewalt in the dust.
Logan Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 I'm a Dewalt guy but as of right now I think it would be the Milwaukee gen 2
Logan Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 You can't go wrong with Dewalt or Milwaukee
JimboS1ice Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 I like the 3 speeds of my Dewalt drill but milwaukee impacts are beasts.JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
comp56 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 truth be told they will all do the trick, when will you not be able to drill something because you lack a couple inch pounds of torque...... 1

I've been shattering dewalt impact bits all week. Is it different bits your talking of, back to wera for me
Downshftking Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Posted October 25, 2015 I have all dewalt and my bro n law loves dewalt but he said that the new brushless Milwaukee impacts are beastly and they last a long time on a single charge compared to dewalt!!
Craigh9916 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 YI've been shattering dewalt impact bits all week. Is it different bits your talking of, back to wera for meYes I think you must be using the original Dewalt impact bits the best ones are the new flextorq ones the ph2 fits like a dreamSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it different bits your talking of, back to wera for meThe best dewalt bits are the max fits, I've only seen them at HD, the flex torsion ones I got at lowes are barely worth the plastic they came in, they don't fit very well, remind me of shockwave, they look like them to.JimboSent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Craigh9916 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 Well I'm only going on the ones we get in the UK which are The new Dewalt extreme ones but they are the same as the flextorq you get in the U.S. But we can't get the max fit ones either way they batter the Milwaukee ones !

Turner85 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 These ones Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk maybe the pz2 are weaker. I shattered 4 this week. Same type as them
Craigh9916 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 Yeah I love the ph2 so try them and see what you think the fit is brilliant and not broke one yet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
jbw55 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 Milwaukee's the best, that's what I was told
JimboS1ice Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 These ones Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYea those a garbage bitsJimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Craigh9916 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 They do the job well for me and for the money I can't complain especially compared to the shockwaves Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Craigh9916 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 Maybe but Ive only been using the 50mm ph2 bits and they last and are great fit and maybe the pz2 bits aren't as good ? I will try the new shockwaves when they are released in the UK as they look good and hopefully they are priced the same as the older ones as in the UK you can't knock the price just shame about the sloppy fit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
jeffmcmillan Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 The only benefit of the original shockwave bits is they're too soft to really strip out screws. The worst is jobsites that provide shockwave bits. I've heard mixed reviews about the new shockwaves, but I'm hesitant to try them when even the teeth on milwaukee pliers are soft.
NicholasShetley Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 I just bought a few of the new shockwave bits and they seem to fit very well. I never used the old shockwave bits so I can't compare them. I'll try and let you guys know how they hold up. 2
Bigmikez Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Let us know how u like those bits Nicholas. And as far as who's better milwaukee and Dewalt? I think they both are that's why I own both best of both worlds!! Don't get me wrong if I get the chance to add any other brands like makita,Bosch,metabo or even some of those snotty tools from festool I won't hesitate to at all.
